Declaring war on Rodgers

[Anny Road]

Should Pochettino be sacked as well?

They cannot get top 4 have spent a shit load recently and have had a shit start.

Not quite the same granted but where do you draw the line?

Be careful what you wish for lads. Expecting Klopp but could just as well end up with Pardew.

Just thinking about the way he blamed the backroom staff (or at least made them scapegoats) at the end of last season, i wonder if that was similar to what he done to the doctor fella, Zaf something or other , I remember reading at the time several current and ex players seemed shocked by that they all spoke about how good he was and everything he'd done for them he would regularly speak to them during their rehab and keep them upbeat, when we hit the buffers last season and Sturridge went out injured for the 2nd time he "left" the club by mutual consent but he's since walked back into a job (at Palace i think?) so i wouldn't say they offered him a better deal. He (Rodgers) make my skin crawl with his use of the clubs fans and history when things are going wrong when they are going right he uses those sarcastic comments "that our new defence coach" remarks i just feel like booting his head in.

[Anny Road]

Who knows what went on in the backroom last year. This idea that he threw his mates under the bus is speculation. For all we know Rodgers may have set out a plan that the coaches were to implement and they failed to deliver. Ferguson did not take training at United he gave his coaches a plan.

I am not defending him out of some love. He is close to getting the bullet I agree but sometimes I think we take rumours and internet gossip as truth.

I also have no great love for FSG but I do believe they want a successful team. Whatever their motivation. They have no desire to see us playing shit.

John Henry knows how things work and in a way I am glad he has not gone through 6 managers in 3 years like some. We could be a lot worse off.

It was only a few games ago we were all upbeat seeing a bit of resilience. Did not run deep mind.

Rodgers is on his final warning and he and his staff need to get a grip. Now.

On a footballing level, what the fuck is wrong with Pardew?

He's twice the manager our current blagger will ever be.

[RobbieOR]

I like him, rate him and there is definitely a manager in there but I think he's come to the end. He doesn't turn it around from here. He'll still be in a job for a few months though. If they sacked him now it would make them look incredibly stupid after backing him.

We'll be bottom half if he's still around at Christmas.

I agree, and in 10 years time he might be ace, but the last couple of years he seems more wrapped up in his private affairs than becoming a better manager.

We may well be but they look like idiots if they sacked him after giving him 1) more money to spend and 2) allowing him to replace his backroom staff. 

 

As Malcolm F Tucker once said in the Thick of it " Sacked after 12 months - looks live you've fucked up. Sacked after a week - looks like he's fucked up.". 

[thompsonsnose]

Just look at the fortunes of the club he left and the club he joined.

He's done well pretty much everywhere he's been, gaining 3 promotions. not really got a Reading or a Watford on his CV.

Palace are 4th btw and should have had a point yesterday vs the runaway league leaders.

He's not the manager you should be using to make your point, would be my take away message here.

[skend04]

Rodgers will never ever in a million and one seasons be a top manager. He cannot manage. End of. This reasoning or excuse is just peddled out by folk that are week in week out being proved wrong about their backing of him based on a single runners up spot. It's embarrassing and really needs to be stopped.

[mouse1989]

I'd rather have Pardew than Rodgers.

Yes, of fucking Walsall or somesuch.

Yup if it came to it. Hed get us organised at least. Players would know their roles and im willing to bet most of em would be in their best positions.

Not much to ask is it? Fucking hell. GTFO Rodgers.

[RobbieOR]

He took Swansea from the Championship to mid table in the Premier League and us from 8th to second. He'll have good offers when he does leave us.

[thompsonsnose]

Righto.

[ShellSuit]

I'm not sure he will. He'll have no backroom staff with him. Our club was the draw for O'Driscoll & Gary Mac.

 

Rodgers will have to take some time out from the game and start again.

[JermainePennant]

This one result isn't going to change anything with regards to BR job as much as some would like it to.I understand those who are pissed right now and so am I after yesterday's game, if we are out of the race for cl at Christmas he will go, right now we lost a game to one of the strongest teams in the league and that's not going to make the owners rush in to any changes.

[Dicko]

And after buying Poulsen, Konky and Joe Cole thank fuck for that.

Because Allen, Borini, Lallana, Moreno, Lovren, Mignolet, Ballotelli etc have been so much better.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Line drawn, fuck off.

Hooray!  It's Taliban time again!  'Cos 2009/10 was such fun and everything worked out well.

 

I'll see y'all on the GF.

I thought Spurs had pretty much turned a profit, and their wage bill is about 2/3 of ours.

Fair enough but you are getting into net spend territory here.

Spurs last trophy was an FA cup in 91. No league since 61. How hard can it be?

I don't think they'll risk bringing in and giving money to another manager with no track record. Been there and done that one.

 

They can't rely on the fans' patience again, either. I'd say they've got to at least prove that they've tried to get a manager who's won things before they get one who hasn't.

[Russ Atmosphere]

The owners are definitely just monitoring fan forums for if and when to jib a manager off that is spunking large amounts of their cash down the toilet. They seem to have the mandate from TLW now but they'll keep giving him longer to save face. Saving face is very important in business.

[Anny Road]

J Henry is probably waking up just now and ordering a 6 egg white omelete and Chia tea yawing and looking at the FT thinking 'Oh Jeez we played Man Ham Yesterday'

I dont mean that entirely but I do imagine he gets his results in the financial papers.
