Brendan Rodgers SACKED - OFFICIAL

[CrazyKopCorner]

I’ve been following us for nearly 50 years but yesterdays performance was so pitiful I wasn’t going to go again this season. I’m hugely lifted now and can’t wait for Tuesday night. COYB

Definitely the latter. Top flight players can play a game on their own. The manager/coach adds value by offering them small insights or subtle tweaks as the game goes on. This group of players look like they've been overcoached by having far too many thoughts running through their minds and it's hard not to draw the correlation to a manager who thinks that football matches are won due to succeeding tactically, rather than understanding that is just a small part of it.

 

Mourinho said that as a coach his job is not to try and tell players what to do or to coach them on how to play football as they are already elite athletes, but rather to offer some insight and advice that can help them succeed as a team.

Probably the right decision. As much as I don't agree with the vitriol some have towards him, I hope the fans can at least unite behind the team now because I really fear what relegation could mean for us. And as much as people shout, I'm afraid they won't be able to change the fact he was one of the best managers in our history and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him show up at a bigger club than ours and do a good job

I think his sacking here and from Liverpool in 2015 won't have done his reputation any good at all personally. As others have said then I think he was hoping to hold out until the end of the season here and then may be jump ship to a Tottenham (unlikely) or elsewhere.....especially if we'd gotten relegated under his tenure. Now I don't think that will happen for him any time soon and he could well be struggling to find a club at this level who'd want him....or even a Celtic or Rangers!

Thanks for the flukey FA Cup win. You're a massive bellend for everything else. Absolutely good riddance.

While I am over the moon at him going, it is plain daft to talk about a flukey FA Cup win. There is no such a thing and it remains the only one Leicester have ever won.

But they also know they need to stick to the gameplan or risk being dropped. 

Maybe,  it it’s a brave new FSW dawn*, so we can all  together once again!

He'll do exactly what he's done elsewhere. Be really good for a year or 2 and then become utterly abject. Great manager for the first 2 years but then he's been the most underperforming manager I've seen for us in 25+ years.

 

The only debate to be had is how many months ago should he have been sacked.

We finished 8th last year and he's the most underperforming manager you've seen for 25 years. That's some take

[foxfanazer]

Ding dong the dickheads gone. Far too late but I'm glad we've finally pulled the trigger. Still don't fancy us to stay up with the mess he's left us in but right now I'm just relieved he's gone

Rodgers came partly because of the training ground move.

Brace yourselves. The media gobshites are coming.

 

We all knew it needed to happen.

 

There is no excuse for anybody now.

Some twat on SSN (Anton Ferdinand ?) saying he’d love to see Rodgers at West Ham “as he definitely improves players” - good luck with that one pal 🤣

Yeah what an awful take to say that he's underperforming with that same side sitting 19th after 28 games.

Hopefully he does go to a more media loved club. Because then they'll actually turn on him. Very very quickly.

Let's hope it's not too late.....

He was good for the first two-fifths of his tenure. For the remaining three-fifths he was sh1t. How he retains respect just goes to show how easily hype trumps reality in football.

I said yesterday I would see you all next season. However the news that he has gone has changed my mind COYB

one of the greatest myths in football. I wonder what Soyuncu, Ndidi and Tielemans think about that

I’d love to know what Kasper is thinking right now

Yeah or get dropped from playing, or frozen because they didn't follow his instructions more like.

[fabufox]

I've been Rodgers out for ages but I want to say a massive thank you to him. For most (sane) fans, 1 FA Cup win, 1 Community Shield, 2 of our 3 highest ever finishes, 2 European campaigns, and 1 European semi final, are a fantastic set of achievements and comfortably puts him in our top 3 managers of all time. Shame he was here a year or so too long but thanks for the memories.

Quite frankly my Nan, in her pinny, could have done better than Rodgers till the end of the season. It was a no brainer decision but almost too late to be honest, as we missed the international break to reset. Just hoping for a post Rodgers bounce to change the rotten attitude and form on the pitch.
