Popular Post BigGibbo Posted 2 April 2023 Popular Post Posted 2 April 2023 It's no coincidence he oversaw one of our most successful periods ever as he took over the team in the best condition any other manager (bar possibly Ranieri) has ever taken over us in... and he has left us in a far worse place than he found us. The FA Cup was a happy anomaly that he will always get credit for, but after the first couple of years of competent coaching and improving what he was given to start with he has overseen a rapid decline with the more of his own recruits he brought in and the more control he gained. The idea that he can come away from this after squandering our golden generation like the innocent victim of circumstance is pure spin by his PR machine. Another manager who didn't constantly belittle us to uplift himself, try to fit square pegs into round holes to suit his playing style/ego and spend an inordinate amount of time lamenting how the grass is greener everywhere else could have got infinitely more out of what he was given, as Ranieri, Pearson & O'Neil have shown before him. 5
beepee1984 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 I appreciate the initial improvement on the previous Puel performances and the FA Cup which will never be forgotten. I also appreciated 2 Top 5 finishes in a row, But that is where my appreciation ends as I can't help but recognise the fact in both seasons we finished 5th we were had a team for a top 4 and were in February in a position where we should have had a top 4 finish and finished both season under performing. I also note that all progress under him stalled out years ago and he has left the club in a massively worst position than we were when in when he took over. 2
Popular Post MancFox24 Posted 2 April 2023 Popular Post Posted 2 April 2023 The mental gymnastics that the Rodgers haters have to go through to justify their hatred is so entertaining. According to them anything good that happened was nothing to do with Rodgers, anything bad was everything to do with him. People are entitled to their opinions, but opinions don't beat facts, and he will objectively go down as one of the best managers we've ever had. His biggest failing was not to walk away at the start of the season- he clearly felt let down (rightly so) by the lack of investment in the playing squad and that resentment has had an impact on his ability to do the job. But I stand by the fact that we would be close to relegation this year no matter who was in charge. 1 4
ARM1968 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 Poch would be outstanding but unlikely in the current circumstances.
FoxTimmy2 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 Respect where respect is due. But how does one explain playing Ward for 26 games? Never mind the eye test, which showed him to be dreadful from the get-go what about the stats. Of all the mistakes, that is the one that got us in the predicament that we are in. MASSIVE inexcusable error on Brendan's part. 3
Fox92 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 Just now, ARM1968 said: Poch would be outstanding but unlikely in the current circumstances. It would be outstanding in the fact that we still sing about Spurs bottling it and the manager leading them from that time ends up here.
Rusko187 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 I'm not sure there's much appreciation I can offer Brendan, I've come to really dislike him in recent months.. all of the goodwill earnt by the FA Cup and Community Shield has been totally used up. Thanks for the memories I guess, hopefully don't see you again!
Sharpe's Fox Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 Sad to see in this thread that despite getting exactly what they want some people still can't not be complete poison. 2
Mike1983 Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 So long "big" fella. I honestly would give away the FA cup if it meant we could stay in the premier league. Getting relegated will financially crush us.
LestaAl Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 He outstayed his welcome by a year or two, this thread is just wrong… yes he didwin the FA cup … bla bla blah
foxfanazer Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 11 minutes ago, Fox92 said: I do actually apologise for that but a manager who was largely successful for us lives in your head. Why do you have so much hatred towards him? The only thing I ever wanted us to do was win the FA Cup. I will talk about that day for all my life, if we stay up then I’ll not remember the season in a decade. What I'll agree with you about is that it's the clubs fault they've paid him so much and for so long. And of course I don't hate him really but the frustration of seeing him perform so incompetently for the past 18 months or so makes it difficult for me to have a good opinion of him. The FA cup win was brilliant. One of the best days of my life in fact but I've seen so many people saying that none of this is Brendan's fault and he only picks the players so why should he then get credit for Youri smashing in a 35 yarder I'll concede that my opinion on him Will probably soften in time but right now I'm so relieved he's no longer associated with our club

daddylonglegs Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 Played some of the best football I’ve seen at the KP. In 2019. 1
Noahfence Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 I appreciate the good run we had for 8 games in 2019
whoareyaaa Posted 2 April 2023 Posted 2 April 2023 (edited) Done ok in his first two season maybe should have got Champions League and the FA Cup win after, the last 2 seasons have been a disaster, same boring football every week no plan B, injuiries galore, shit transfers and talking the club down, alienating players the list goes on shit subs Glad the club finally acted but should have been done months ago Edited 2 April 2023 by whoareyaaa 1

He inherited a fantastic squad, which he failed to hold together and then failed to build on when players left. There’s been a sequence of horrendous runs of form which have finished any progression the club wanted. 18 months ago he started muttering about a refresh, despite the club achieving its highest net spend in its history…. After this he did nothing other that throw the club under the bus constantly, make excuses, defend himself, belittle the players, belittle the club and even throw the fans and owners under the bus….. His approach has been disgraceful, no success can mask how appalling he have behaved over the last 18 months. We finished 8th last season after being largely poor, but this was not on the script….. the reason we’re in a relegation fight is because of him, he set the agenda, he started spreading negativity throughout the club and he started telling the players they were shit. He’s poison, he’s destroyed any legacy he had thanks to his behaviour. He’s a disgrace and should be embarrassed about the way he’s conducted himself. Edited 2 April 2023 by Pliskin 2 4
