Let's be honest. We can't afford the £10m, that's the reason and we all know it.

Why would it cost £10m? If that’s indeed his salary then we are obliged to pay it whatever happens and this will have already been accounted for financially.

 

It has nothing to do with finances. Surely if we were that hamstrung then we would’ve offloaded players like Praet on the cheap rather than holding out for unlikely higher offers.

They haven’t got a clue.

Left field thinking 

 

could there be a clause in his contract which limits his compensation if we spend a certain number of weeks in the relegation zone or at the bottom of the league ?

Every manager should have that clause in their contract. Just good business sense.

Allo Allo! Maybe it has something to do with a strange incident in the Seagrave canteen involving a flying helmet, an egg whisk and a stick of wet celery?

I hate the excuse as well. If it mattered that much King Power would still find the dollar to make it work, they are still billionaires, they can still loan the club money at a zero interest loan.

Pay-off Rodgers.

Get a decent manager from any of the other 3 leagues...pay him £1 million.

Keeps us up then £500k bonus...

Next season see him get payrise

So £2mill...

Win win situation.

My Spanish team with its new manager have just sacked him after 4 games in. Winning 1-0 at half time and lost 4-1. Ok compo is prob a case of San Miguel and some nuts but the jobs been done.

Is it true what I’m hearing that we have won one away game in 31? If true shocking

I mentioned this a while ago but with respect to time left on contract so are they waiting for a specific date to kick in? 

[CloudFox]

Top wants us to win the league again, and believes the only way for us to do so is by being bottom at Christmas the previous season 👀👀👀

[Ely fox]

All managers at other clubs would be sacked in the same position, apart from Forest surely?

Forest finished top six in their league last season 

copper absolutely does not deserve the tin tac but it could be that organising that mass of players needs an older head 

[Babylon]

I can only conclude the players actually are still behind him and like him. Which frankly is even more worrying. 

[wurmer]

Because they are incompetent, always have been but the veil of competence has now slipped??

The chosen ones are (who are our best players) and enough of the part chosen 

 

Maybe they know a new coach will make them work harder …

That's quite a stretch to say they were always incompetent...

Yeah I agree. If Forest lose tonight the fans will be saying why did we give Cooper a new three year contract? Cooper will struggle with this level because of the level and the many many new players. An older manager with experience could have worked due to the ridiculous situation they are in.

The problem for Top, is if he can be convinced to pull the trigger, the next manager will never be as attractive to him as Brendan was. In his eyes, the next manager just won't have the credentials to deliver the long term dream. 

In your opinion, what is the long-term dream for Top? It's no good assuming Top is a clone of Vichai, whose 'dream' it originally was - he was left holding the baby when Vichai died.

Top should be aware that managers come and go with increasing regularity. He should be aware, from his father's decisiveness, that there's no point in pursuing a failed club-manager relationship. He's allowed this situation to fester way beyond where it was apparent to many of us that Rodgers has 'fatal' shortcomings as a comprehensively equipped man for the job. It feels as if he's like a parasitic insect whose sucked out all the money and lifeblood of the team and is only sticking around for his salary or compo.

The dream is on hold for the time being. The aim should be about a. avoiding relegation and b. stability in the mid-table of the Premier. 

If Top allows his liking for Rodgers to blind him to his obvious faults, then there's no dream going to be fulfilled. One man will have been allowed to damage it over the short-term and the recovery will take years.

[Daggers]

1 we can’t afford the £7.23 it costs to pay him off

2 every manager living, dead and yet to be born has already said they don’t want it

3 Ritchie Wellens

4 Brexit

5 Top is on the drugs

Can only hope that Rodgers was the flying helmet.

[SkidsFox]

They're making a fortune on betting markets laying off bets from punters who think Brendan will be the next manager to be sacked. The worse we play, the more they rake it in.
