I feel like we are sleep walking into total disaster. The fans have to step up. We seem to have a fan base you just don’t seem bothered .

if we go down we will be looking at liquidation 

We won't. As a PL entity, we are prob worth 400m or so ATM. Even with the debt. 

 

Relegated, we have huge unserviceable debts and an unaffordable wage bill and no parachute money (as we have already cashed that in)....but essentially, we could find a buyer tomorrow to take all that on if the owners waived a sale fee - which they'd have to if they couldn't finance 2 seasons in the championship

I know a fair few fans that go both home and away religiously that still believe he is the best thing since sliced bread and think that none of the problems are his fault. 
 

There will be no discontent, no protests, nothing. We will slide into oblivion without so much as a whimper.

His greatest trick has been to convince a section of the fanbase who were 100% behind the owners that the fault lies there and not some point with him. 
 

Evident on the likes of the Facebook groups particularly

Not turning up won’t make a difference. Would be up for some form of demonstration before Brighton. 
 

Picket directly outside the fan store 2 hours before KO? Happy to do it, just don’t want to be the only one 😂

I wonder what Arthur Scargill is upto these days.

Rodgers is breaking it 

The board broke it. Every second and third rate appointment broke it. Rodgers is a symptom, not the cause.

The board are weak. Rodgers has been given far too much influence at the club

My attention is on the board. They have handed out fat contracts to average squad players, have allowed the squad to stagnate and have kept Rodgers in place for too long. They should be at the epicentre of our anger.

I won’t disagree - but would add incompetent and misguided.

Our fan base are a bunch of people who may voice their malcontent at games, but will do nothing else. 
As in, nothing of a positive nature, that’s really going to matter. Like banners, protests outside the ground, just not attending etc.

And there are still many who believe in the Rodgers hype and the PR machine that drives it.

I can genuinely see the club being relegated and the fan base moaning about it, whilst almost accepting it as ‘a given’.

A friend of mine works for a sports consultancy and he said that Club's and Manager's are increasingly making decisions on XG not outcome i.e. the justification for keeping a manager in post is that the XG indicates they are playing well and its just that they are on a losing streak through bad luck not bad management - looking at our current XG stats we are bottom six. That's accurate as far as I have seen performance ways this season i.e. we are in a genuine relegation battle and have been all along. The pre-Christmas run of good results were the anomaly not the norm/expectation. The Club have to realise this and make Jan signings to strengthen the squad - sacking BR alone will not be enough given the paucity of our squad and its lack of resilience.

There’s still a big disconnect between the commonly held view on here and in the stands. There are still many who go regularly who believe the Brendan PR machine.

Oh yeah, it's very strange. If you drift onto those weird Leicester Facebook groups you will still see many people thinking that Rodgers is doing a wonderful job given the circumstances and are still doing a lap of honour for the best days in the club's history thanks to our fantastic owners. 

 

It's possibly the most worrying thin about our current situation. If you look at West Ham, Leeds and Everton they have fanbases who can make things very uncomfortable and demand that change happens and then you have Forest who are completely behind their manager having taken them back to the top flight after a 23-year absence. We are neither here nor there.

I completely disagree. Getting a fresh manager in would be extremely beneficial for various reasons:

 

1. Give the fans a lift and change the atmosphere

2. Give the players a fresh start including having to prove they are a starting XI choice (thus raising performance levels)

3. Giving the players a lift

4. Potentially having better player management both mentally and physically (injuries etc.)

 

Those are the key ones for me.

 

Buying any player to strengthen may not change much as the other 9/10 players on the pitch are still underperforming. A good manager can deal with any situation. Rodgers should accept that money is tight and we cannot afford to spend on players at this time and instead of finding excuses wherever he can, focus on getting the players we have to perform at their best levels. Is that not a managers job? The longer we wait, the less chance of us recovering.

 

For me, I would rather keep the squad we have (which isn't that awful) and use the money we have to freshen the manager post up.

So many enjoyed L1 they're just happy to go back there, maybe trying for L2 we haven't won that trophy yet and that looks about the only trophy we could win at the moment.

You say that, but it would save me personally a few miserable hours on the Saturday.

His continually talking down the squad as not good enough must be having massive affect on confidence, I'm not a player and I'm sick of hearing him bleating on about it.
