I have to agree with that. Arteta has to actually get over the line next season.  If not it should be his last. 

Time for that was about 3 seasons ago lol . Spurs win a European title and have the standards to get rid, must be a bit embarrassing for you mob

The FA Cup season we finished 5th. 5th. Fifth. In the Premier league. The decline was the next two seasons. Hindsight is amazing isn't it? There's not one person who wanted Rodgers out at all at that time it would have been mental. 

There’s plenty.

Yep. I was at that Spurs match, and when we were losing, was kind of glad when more goals starting flying in, as I was convinced that would definitely be the end of Rodgers 🙄

There was a few of us who wanted him out at that point

That's absolutely not true. Lots of people were frustrated that we had yet again blown such a strong position in the league and it was basically Iheanacho who bailed Rodgers out (then decided to immediately bench at the start of next season so great management). The season before when we also blew it, that was where lots of things conspired against us so less of a bottle job. The second 5th place was a failure entirely of our own making.

 

From a PR perspective, we absolutely could not have sacked Rodgers then even though there were a couple of people calling for his head, but the obvious issues were there and were being pointed out. But after that Forest game, he should have been sacked and lots felt it then. People will talk about a European semi final but that was after falling out of the EL in which we were joint favourites with Napoli, so anything less than winning that was a failure. And we went from something like 13th with 3 games to go, to finish 8th when there was no pressure and it didn't really matter. I think we were something like 17th in the expected points table that season which shows you how absolutely woeful we had been and that it was just the quality of players at our disposal bailing us out.

It's still a totally different ball game bottling a top 4 place to being in a so called decline.  If there's some out there who predicted after the fa Cup win we would be relegated 3 years later then good on you but I don't think anyone for saw what happened. The season you focus on when we played Roma etc is totally different, there are people on here saying we should have sacked Rodgers after winning a trophy like Spurs have done but it's ridiculous, they finished 17th we were 5th.

Yes. This was the point. Spurs away 6-2 absolute debacle, international break, Sack him, and we might have stayed up.

I wholeheartedly believe Brendan threw both of these games. I don’t think he purposely lost games after this  didn’t work but I think the players likely knew and that’s why he could never get them back on side. 
 

in both instances we did not play how we usually would under him and no matter how bad we were under him, we never quite left ourselves that open. it wasn’t a game of individual errors it was tactically opening the doors wide open for them. I think Brendan is too good of a coach for that to be simple mistakes. 
 

People always said soyuncu was dropped for pulling out of the tackle but there was also a heated dressing room argument and i believe he probably called Brendan on his suicide approach on the day

I am really worried that I am losing my marbles! Or is todays football taking the p*** out of all of us??

Ive read / seen some things which I cant believe are true:

i. Jordan Henderson is playing for England!! (Curtis Jones too, FFS)!

ii. Spurs have sacked their manager despite winning a major European trophy (not a tin-pot one like Chelsea)

iii. Still with Chelsea: How come they can spend hundreds of millions EVERY season and yet get NIL sanctions.

iv. Leicester HAVE'NT sacked their so-called manager despite racking up a series of the worst football records in history.

v. England seem delighted at beating Andorra by a single goal.

vi. A chap by the name of Boubakary Soumare has been posing as a professional footballer for a number of years - and is STILL fooling everyone and raking in £millions.

 

I'm making these up, arent I?

Surely not true.

The FA Cup win was what, May 2021. Early that next season, October 2021, I was talking to a Newcastle supporting mate, just after their takeover happened in early October and said to him ‘I hope you take Rodgers off us as we will honestly be relegated inside 3 years if we keep him’. 
 

I’m not looking for a well done. I am pointing out that it was obviously where it was heading that soon after the cup win and some of us called it. The biggest shock is it took most people another year to start questioning him!

 

And 3 years was quite a positive outlook in the end. We were actually relegated 18 months after I said that and only 2 years (not 3 as you say) after the cup win.

If Spurs had a better season than Arsenal then they wouldn't have sacked their manager!

 

Spurs have been proper dog muck all season, finished bottom of the league without the relegated sides, and only just scraped past just as bad a side to win a tinpot European trophy. 

 

Semi-final of the Champions League + 2nd > Europa League winners + 17th 

 

Postecoglu deserved to be sacked. He was a ****ing awful one dimensional manager. Same as Amorim, who also deserves to be sacked.

Did you think the Europa League was a "tinpot trophy" when Wolves were contenders for it not so long ago? 😄

I just went on to the fighting cock to see what the reaction was. 

 

4th post i read said they should "go for the PSG guy". I closed the tab and am still none the wider.

 

Literally every forum has the same types of people, it's great lol

Even by message board standards, Fighting Cock is off the scale. 😄

 

There are no circumstances whatsoever where Luis Enrique would quit PSG for a basket case club like Tottenham.

Well you must have been able to see the future then, or were hugely ungrateful. I'm sorry but a cup win and 5th is pretty much the best season our club has ever had apart from the title win

The pandemic - and consequent lack of crowds - meant that 20-21 was slightly abnormal.  

 

Rodgers set a record (which still stands!) of the most ever home defeats in a season for a single City manager.

 

Bottling a Champions League spot for the second season in a row after being in the top 4 up until the last 2 games showed the mentality issues within the squad Rodgers was never able to fix.

 

He never really wanted to stay with us more than two seasons anyway.
