    Twist.

    Too early to sack a manager, embarrassing to even be thinking it really, but teams shapeless and he's not interested.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted him or not but I think looking at how we're actually playing the players aren't responding to him...I don't think he'll be sacked but if he was to be sacked I'd have a look at the boy managing Ipswich.

    Pay me £1m a year, or whatever Lawell or his cronies are on, and I'll spend my time looking. Otherwise, between work and a family, I'm unable to spend hours a day looking into every football manager on the planet within our range, unfortunately.

    We have absolutely no chance of him mate. He will be managing in the EPL next season and it probably won't be Ipswich, big clubs will be sniffing about

    Twist, he lost a 7 point lead by December.

    The mutants had Gio get them to a European final and still sacked him after losing the equivalent gap that Rodgers has just done, and Rodgers did * all in Europe.

    We need to stop delaying on these decisions and get them made.

    If the board twist, it'll managed and too late. And there'll be little to zero work to get the right man and team in.

    Can see this happening. Rodgers goes at the end of the season, board opt for Moyes, who's contract is up at the end of the season wi West Ham. Last big job, Celtic connections and history and will happily go along with the board.

    Don't trust any of the decision makers anywhere in the club to do the right thing stick or twist.

    I think it's got to the point where we need to try something new.

    Maybe in a few days time, after I've cooled down, I'll go back to remain, but I just don't see it getting better.

    Kyogo, Johnston, Taylor, McGregor and Hart are all far worse this season than last. Jota and Starfelt gone. They've been injured, but when fit both Maeda and Hatate have looked worse this season too.

    Only O'Riley and Scales have improved, and only Palma is a success from the transfers.

    He's had bad luck with injuries, but there's no excuse for the form we're in. Squandered an 8 point lead, essentially gave the league cup to the huns, and if the huns didn't have Michael Beale, they'd be comfortably ahead of us right now.

    Even if we do win every game in December (which is very unlikely) and go 2 points clear again, I just don't see proper progression this season or next. A new LB and GK in the January window will improve us no doubt, but there's only so much we can stretch that as an excuse for current performances.

    I think he'll be given December at minimum, but truthfully I think it's best for all parties if we end it here and bring in a new manager as soon as possible. The league is still more than there to be won, but I don't think we do it under Rodgers.

    Aye coz Kennedy done so well the last time.

    This thread is absolute * madness. The guys not even been allowed to bring in his own players yet.

    Doesn't matter who the manager is he'd struggle to play good football with players like, Hart, Taylor, Scales, Turnbull, Johnston starting games.

    Take hatate, jota, starfelt, abada, maeda out of Anges team and we'd have struggled every bit as bad

    I honestly think even if we lose to Livi next week, they still wouldn't sack him..

    I think things would be so toxic there would be no other option tbh, we've seen this movie before with Lenny.

    If he loses/draws next week, I think he'd be given the huns game as a last resort, then a decision would be made on that.

    Still, I don't see the board outright sacking him, it'd need to be a mutual agreement between both. If they do sack him and need to pay his entire contract, then tough luck to them tbh, we've hoarded enough money to afford it and still back whoever else comes in for January.
