Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

* him. Should be utterly embarrassed with himself how it all ended up. I dont like the board as much as the next person, however Desmond was probably bang on the money with him. Biggest mistake they made was not parting ways sooner.

 

I don't hate him, but I wanted him sacked from about January onwards. The football was just a chore to watch, especially going to home games because you knew we were going to tediously pass it backward about 600 times to break down whatever team had rocked up to park the bus.

O'Neil has been a breath of fresh air.

 

Mad how quickly * changes.

He brought us a shitload of success, his issues with the board spot on. He has been in two spells a great manager for us, but by the time he left on Monday just not in his ability to deal with this season and it’s issues.

And that will always be what stops him from reaching the top managers echelon, he doesn’t learn, sure in him knowing what should work and when it gets stale he can’t understand why and he won’t admit to himself he’s wrong. If he could, he could be a much higher level.

But he done a lot for us as a club, grateful for that.

He’s just a bit of a smarmy * though.

 

I’m probably reading way too much in to it, but the Osmand & Engels comments do sort of make me wonder if the ‘issues’ were starting to spread from just being a ‘Rodgers & the board’ thing to ‘Rodgers & the players’ as well. I know it’s become a bit of a meme, but you do wonder if that Honda Civic comment maybe didn’t go down all that well with the squad. He was clearly on the outs with board, if he was ever really ‘in’ to begin with, but if there was genuine discontent fermenting amongst the squad, you could see why that would be the impetus for him to suddenly cut bait.

It dosen’t absolve the board of their failings, which go far beyond a bad transfer window, but if we’re able to keep this momentum going and start turning things around, then it’s going to reflect terribly on him. It’s not the way the world works, I know, but I just can’t abide someone getting paid that sort of money to be that checked out. The squad is in a sorry state, but there’s still enough there to navigate a successful, if ugly, domestic league campaign - you evidently just need to try something different. At least try making lemonade with the lemons.

 

Remember he was totally blameless and everyone had fallen for a hoax?

Not saying for a second that he wasn’t the primary reason for the position that we’re in, but this idea that he deserved no criticism was a joke. There’s been a significant difference in the energy and mentality of the team.

 

The hoax is completely real. A win against the Huns doesn’t stop that.

It’s the Brendan Brendan Brendan hoax and that’s it at the final stages when folk turn against him. It’s there by design.

 

Or it’s a bollocks claim perpetuated by someone who routinely posts *.

 

I like Brendan and I'm defo team him vs the board, but there's defo 3 sides to the the whole thing.... his side, their side and the truth.
Anyone could see what the issues in the team were and he stubbornly refused to change it and refused to play certain players just to make a point. It's actually pretty telling the difference in the team as a whole and especially certain players since MON and Maloney took over.
It's actually really showing up that he was hampering us and actively making us worse despite having better players vs many opponents.
Probably best for us that he's away, just need to get the next appointment right and also get the board to * now.

 

No, it’s the end stage of the hoax. You only get there when you lack critical thinking.

 

The last part is why he always start failing in his 3rd season. Players obviously can't stand the guy.

Spray-tan, teet whitening, and all ridiculous comments.

Any interview from him now, re the football side is gonna make him look a bit daft. No doubt he was shafted by incompetent and power hungry folk above him, who have overstayed their welcome.

But on the football side, he clearly was coming up short and the evidence suggests deliberately to prove a point. A point that when he would leave in May, i was done in by the board, I'm the innocent one in all this. Nonsense.

His leaving out players means he didn’t do or try his best. Nobody else to blame for that. Look at the difference in Cal, Arne, Nygren. Playing in a more cogerent way in positions more natural to them, all stepped up, playing wi bite and smile. A core part of the team looks rejuvenated in the matter of 7 days.

Too long a post to mention everyone but it's clear to see that his mood/ways were holding us back.

Any interview now on the back of the upturn in results and form just make him look stupid. So all he left is to go after the board and Desmond himself, which i can't see him doing.

Enjoy your time off and move on Brodge.
