Brendan Rodgers Thread

[Coro]

You're a funny man, Coro. It's what I like about you.

 

Well ...

[stringvest]

No Brendan news today. Must have a mouth full of cotton wool over at John Bishop's dentist again.

He'll fight for his life to keep those teeth.

[stringvest]

I don't blame him. They're smashers, those gnashers.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

He'll fight for his life to keep those teeth.

 

There's only two dentists he can trust. They're Dr Smith and Dr Brown. And Dr Jones. Why does he trust them? They're good technicians.

He said: 'It doesn’t matter who you are, if they’re not pulling their weight then they are letting down the club, the city and everyone who has stood by them.

'So until I get that assurance that we are going to get nothing but 100 per cent commitment, then there will be no solution.

'There has been a lot said and a lot reported, and we have made a stance, as a club and as a manager, of the commitment and the standards required.

'If you don’t have that commitment and those standards then you won’t play. It’s as simple as that.

'There’s no problem between me and him, it is quite calm. But obviously I have got to respect the club and the team.'

 

 

 

Another interview talking about "commitment" but no mention of apology.

 

Hopefully they can iron things out in private in the next few weeks, and he does come back with that 100 percent commitment.

[stringvest]

I'd be happy with 98% commitment.

It's almost as if cup competitions are a bit of a lottery and not as representative of the ability of a team as, say, a 38 game league season.

 

Wait, Im confused.

Does this mean we have to put those European Cups back?

[Captain]

So why did the team take their foot off the gas when we won the League Cup 18 months ago?

 

They had nothing left to play for?

I was at his press conference the other day and it has tp be said, I could listen to him talk all day. He's really charismatic.

Ahh ok. Cheers for that.

Maybe trying their hardest to reach the top four,until it was impossible,might have been an idea.They do get well paid you know.The fans still turned up for every League game,even if the players didn't.

Maybe he is to those easily fooled.

 

I could probably manage to listen to him for 5 minutes before I wanted to top myself or him because of his constant use of pathetic cliches he for some reason seems to think makes him look smart, when the reality is that he comes forward as a bit of a clown.

I am sure we can arrange for you to listen to Rodgers for 5 minutes.

 

I'll supply the gun and ammo.

 

Sorted.

[Josef Svejk]

I find him a hard listen at times, to be honest. Management school quackery and evangelical preaching aren't my thing. Ultimately, this doesn't matter if he gets results, of course...

But a clown that's worked under Mourinho and Scolari, rather than a clown that just plagues an internet forum. I know who I'd rather listen to.

I'll happily listen to him until he starts referring to himself in the third person. That's my cue to turn off his motivational CD.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, I think Dave and others have said the same thing. I thought his interview with fans, which TLW were a part of, were very good.

[Aldonose]

Yeah, ultimately him getting results on the pitch is all I really give a fuck about.

If you take everything any manager says at face value you're consigning yourself to a life of bitter frustration. Just ask Coro. Or Nightcat.

I'm talking about form rather than content. The manager's job is to provide as little content as possible. Rodgers achieves that, at some length and with a certain earnestness. I just prefer other ways of achieving the goal. Dalglish's dismissive, fairly sarcastic way, for example.

 

Personal taste and all that...
