Brendan Rogers with a d

[WasStefan]

He seemed quite happy/ chilled yesterday before the Utd game. Talking with staff etc.

He also can’t be unhappy with the situation. I was reading that Leicester have spent net £70mn in each of the past 5 or 6 transfer windows.

Can’t see him leaving and can’t see them sacking him to be honest.

 

[Jonzy54]

Think there are far better options

A genuine question .Who ?

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

I don’t really care if our new man eats puppies and pulls up flowers at old peoples homes to be honest, as long as he can turn our players into attacking winners I don’t care, I haven’t got to take him home to meet my mum and dad.

You - "mum, dad, this is my new manager Brendan"

Mum - "oh what happened with Bruno?"

You - "it was okay at first, but he's just so boring, but he has no idea he's boring and thinks everything is fine. I couldn't take it anymore".

Dad - "I never liked him anyway, couldn't understand what he was saying and his tracksuit was too big. Scruffy git".

Mum - "you can do better anyway, he looks like a goblin. Cup of tea Brendan?".

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

He’s meant to be on a ridiculous contract, one that puts him in the top 3/4 in the league as best paid.

So, regardless of whether we can get near that, it’s going to be difficult for Leicester to sack him considering they’re skint & he’s surely not going to walk away from such money.

Unfortunately for them this probably drags on a long time.

Dad - Brendan, is that a picture of yourself on your phone wallpaper?

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

I don't like Rogers but anyone who turning there nose up at him needs a reality check

 

[Clipboard]

Seems to be unhappy with Leicester’s transfer buisiness. Seemed to be suggesting he was quitting in press conference last night.

Could he be our new manager if Lage does not get a result tomorrow.

Maybe he’s been spoken to to already.

Nice thought, but wishful thinking i reckon.

 

[George AlooGobi]

Did he fail at Liverpool?
A Gerard slip away from winning them the league for the first time in ages.

Won the FA Cup with someone else's team

That'd do for me

 

[Timberwolf]

He only ‘failed’ at Liverpool because he started smashing a younger woman and the Liverpool squad were really fond of Rodger’s wife. He lost all their respect and Rodger’s attention was taken up with his new piece and separation from his Mrs.

 

[TheConcourse]

This has got Villa written all over it.

 

[ManningtreeWolf]

Don't really care about his ego and what his personality is like. If he can get a decent squad playing good football , scoring goals and winning matches would happily take him in a heart beat. I just don't get what Bruno's identity is. Feel he is out of depth tactically, man management wise and hope he is replaced much sooner rather than later. We have a good squad now but I feel Bruno is capable of taking it down

 

[Perton Wolf]

Are the door frames at Compton wide enough to get his ego through?

Big ego but Howe is the same and he's doing a great job at Toon.

Would represent an upgrade on Lage, there's no doubt about that. Reckon Villa might beat us to the punch though.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Leicester fans point out that Brendan brought in players at a considerable amount all of whom have pretty much flopped. And he still hasn’t been able to solve their defensive frailties.

He got lucky at Liverpool and still couldn’t win the title and Celtic was an easy pay day. Brenda’s succes at Celtic is also put into context with Postecoglou’s first season as Celtic boss. No experience of European league football whatsoever. When he was announced it was ‘Postey who?’ and predictions of doom were soon flying around as were guffaws aplenty from the other Glasgow team. Not guffawing any more. In fact, with his attacking style there may be EFL clubs after Postey who? soon.

I think in very short time, Brendan will be blaming the board when results don’t go his way.

A final quote from a Leicester fan about their manager:

‘It’s his inability to own up to his failings that grates me most about this bloke.

He and his mate congerton signed the dross he’s wanting to get rid of. He had been backed financially, it’s just our owners have quite rightly said you need to get rid of those who aren’t part of the plans.

His attitude in the press is reverberating onto the pitch, how would you like to go into work every day and hear your manager mouthing off about how you’re not up to standards?

He is the reason we are bottom. He is not the man to turn it around. He’s a careerist looking for his next move and to be absolved of all blame.

We have a decent squad, not top half standard anymore but certainly not relegation standard.

Get him gone.’

I ****ing hope not - I cannot stand the man

 

[Jefe]

Some would say Bruno is a bit of a bell end as well, so I'm not sure why that should preclude Rodgers from being our next manager. He's 'only' won an FA Cup, two Scottish trebles, got Liverpool to within a whisker of the Premier League title, and given Leicester their best league finishes since they won the darned thing, though. And all before the age of 50.

 

[Chris H]

Am I the only one immaturely laughing at the new thread title which I read as a statement?

Brendan Rogers with a d​

- I bet he does!!

P.S - I have nothing of actual use to add to this thread.

I have been saying for a few weeks that Rodgers days are numbered at Leicester. I live near to Leicester and know quite a few of their fans. He is not popular at all and the team were jeered last night and for the first time there were a few at the ground calling for him to go.

Regarding Leicester City. In recent seasons they have won the league, won the FA Cup, had two top five finishes and reached the semi final of a European competition. They have had a poor start to the season and the fans are turning on the team and manager. They must be the most fickle fans in the country.

After a long run of smart transfer windows, where they sell a star and buy 1-2 great younger players, Leicester seem to have lost their way this summer. I can see why that’s annoyed the fans beyond a poor start.

Sadly I think a fair few are saying the same thing about us.

 

[Corporate Wolf]

Bet he’d be a strong candidate for villa if they don’t turn things around sharpish !

I would not be surprised one bit if Villa's owners had already "reached out" to his agent.

That’s why this strategy is always a risk. Southampton ran out of gems and similar happening at Leicester.

Feels a bit similar to us too, Nunes and Guedes have a way to go to prove they’re Neves/ Jota class (I’m confident they will).

I agree. On paper they should be, but that doesn’t always hold true as we know.

So in Brendan's head his inner voice is going "Oi Brendan, looking lovely today by the way, you know we are thinking about getting out of Leicester, did you just see what Scott Parker did. Lose tonight and start slagging the club off in your post-match, then bingo, you get the tin tack and your contract paid up!"

That's how I read the situation. Also what is going on with Tielemans. Are they now going to let him run down the last year of his contract and leave for free? And Maddison wanted to talk to Newcastle United, but wasn't allowed to do so. There is something not right there at the moment.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

It’s Rodgers with a ‘d’ and I’d take him over Lage, mind you I’d take Ted Rogers over Lage!

At the moment I would even go for Roy Rogers which would be ironical as it would mean that Trigger would then be replaced by Trigger's rider.

 

[Beastier]

I'd be very happy with him and for me he's definitely a level above Lage

 

[Poztin]

Attacking possession based football? No thanks, I’d rather stick with the oss shoe of death.

 

[Rufio]

Rodgers is a nob, but a bloody good manager and I’d have him here any day

 

[Macman]

Absolute zero fit, I can't see us having a British manager with our setup.

This for me too. He would choose Villa over us, but as long as we have Fosun in charge, and a host of foreign players, i could never see us employing a British-based head coach.

If/when Lage goes, I think it will be another Portuguese coach incoming.

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

Not for me. His depressive demeanour is not what a dressing room needs. His fire seems to have gone. It happens with age. Not much evidence of his 'brilliant coaching'; he has some outstanding players at his disposal, but the only strategy seems to be 'get it to Jamie Vardy''. Remember that bloody goal by Vardy at Leicester last year? No-one else would have got it.

 

[tonto]

Well the last time we took a manager off Leicester we didn’t do well but they did

 

[NorthWolf]

View attachment 29974

That’s where Lage needs to go. 3,2,1….

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

It's pretty odd that people think he's procluded because he's arrogant. How many managers can people name who are successful but humble?

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Rogers would be superb with this side. Whether you like him as an individual, I'm not sure how you deny that.

 

[ombyman]

Are the door frames at Compton wide enough to get his ego through?

Or his nose?

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

He actually reminds me of McGhee, urgh

Me too

 

[Lawley Wolf]

no thanks he's a psychopath

 

[lets all have a disco]

I think he is asking for the sack myself....isn't he one of the highest paid managers in the league....he wouldn't come here for Bruno's wages, that's a fact.....
