He wants new players every summer to keep everyone motivated. “It is a good question. Always I thought after five or six years together we need to change - changing the manager is an option, or changing a few players. Always,” Guardiola asserted. “But, at the same time, sometimes it’s good to change to refresh everyone - the new players, the old players. “And its normal the new players bring in new energy, new desires. “But I don’t know [what’s going to happen]. 1

Forced some of our key data analysts to leave the club when they strongly advised not to sign Vestegaard and Bertrand. Put pressure on the board to keep a hold our players at all cost, now theyre all running down their contracts. Played Danny Ward for 26 games when Iversen was on the bench. Left the club at 19th in the PL. The man is a disease, cant believe some people are stilling trying to protect him. Forced out Kasper Schmeichel, a leader and a club legend - something we desperately have needed ever since. Only to replace him with Wardey for 26 games. Brendan's cnut he destroyed my club.

filbertway Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 OP has his finger on the pulse. I look forward to the insights on congerton in 6 months.
JimJams Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 His legacy is that he won the second biggest honour in our history but dismantled the side in the wake of it. Whilst nobody should be happy with how that's manifested, I'd have personally snapped your arm off if given that option when he was appointed. As I would with whoever takes over. 1
Nalis Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 We were sensational at times in the first 2 years, first ever FA Cup win was amazing. Over time that will be remembered over his outstaying his welcome. Might be different if we go down of course.

Yeah he simply expired as many managers do, I will always remember the good periods under Rodgers and he of course is in our history forever with the FA cup, but he sadly completely lost it in the last 18 months or so. Top has to take some blame for not being ruthless when he needed to be, would have been better for Rodgers also to leave the club in not such a bad position. Edited 15 April 2023 by Chrysalis
420Hashish Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 While I am grateful for the FA Cup, Community Shield, and Euro runs, I'm still unhappy he was left here well past his expiration date
HankMarvin Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 Poison Dwarf threads should now be banned, he has subjected us to more than enough physiological terror with the prospect of Championship football, seemingly out of nowhere this season
Larry_LCFC Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 The thing I find most sickening is the fact that if we go down (which we probably will), somehow Brendan Rodgers won't be at all accountable in the eyes of the media and other fans. It'll be everyone's fault but his. The little goblin **** has brainwashed the world into thinking be is actually good at what he claims to be. I genuinely and actively despise the bellend. 2
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 15 April 2023 Posted 15 April 2023 This thread has a hint of deja vu about it. But I agree with the first post. He does great in first 2 and a bit years, and then it goes sour. We’ve been foolish enough to hang on to him for the longest, and look where he left us - a guy who had a remit to restructure the whole club from top to bottom, and the first team, U21s, U18s (and possibly other ages I’m unaware of) are all struggling. The vast majority of managers in world football these days have a 2 year cycle btw, or thereabouts. Rodgers is in that vast majority bracket. He’s certainly not in the elite bracket.

Popular Post Mickyblueeyes Posted 15 April 2023 Popular Post Posted 15 April 2023 He is a parasite. When we sacked Puel it was because he was underachieving with a good squad. Puel was expected to challenge for that 7th spot. He missed out. The Tielemans signing happen just before he left. Arguably the final piece of a squad we had been building since the 2016 Rudkin led summer window disaster. Rodgers was brought in with a very decent squad at his disposal and a well oiled team behind him. With Arsenal going through transition, top 7 was certainly achievable but like anything else, other things contribute. Anyone remember Kompany after he scored that screamer against us ? Saying this Leicester side is or should be a top 6 side. Many radio interviews where they listed the players as a genuine reason for Rodgers to come. I think it was Darren Bent who said Leicester should be challenging top 4 with the squad. Rodgers was given a golden goose. Ok we won the FA Cup but league positions were not really anything to write home about. 5th, 5th, 8th were probably on par with our squad - it wasnt Martin levels of overachievement. Perhaps we would’ve finished one or two places lower with another manager but we achieved what we invested for. He has now left us with a medical team than needs shooting. A scouting system that no longer works (with some leaving due to Rodgers). A squad of players (many who were here when he arrived) filled with potential who are now seriously faltering. In debt. Favourites to go down. yes we have an idiot of an owner but Rodgers was given far more by this club than he has given us. Personally, I wish for the benefit of our long term future we didn’t go for him. We fell for the hype and to someone else’s detriment, in the future, the will also go for him. If we go down, he’ll be hated here as much as Taylor for many years to come. A similar limited manager who was given a strongish squad and set about dismantling everything good about it. I just hope we don’t have to rebuild for 10 years to overcome the shit Brendan has left us with as we did with Taylor. I don’t have anything positive to say about his time here. He’s benefitted, we haven’t. 9

Yeah.. he's shit. Dean Smith is miles better Rodgers is an excellent coach, but like many coaches who are not quite elite, he can't maintain mometum for sustained multi-year success. The problem is our players are now so sapped of confidence, it will make staying up so much harder. That is Rodgers' legacy too 1

He was here four years, it was his team. I blame Brendan, came into a brilliant team of players including some very young ones, spent £250m and left the squad and club in the mess it's in today. 1

Kasper had a year left on his contract and was sold for £1m. In four years at the club he only had to sell Maguire, Chilwell and Fofana as they wanted to leave.
