They have no right to be near there with the money other teams spend. It's success that they've been able to compete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Why on earth would Rodger’s leave Leicester for us? Both clubs would have to sack their managers in order for it to happen, but then we’d be pouncing on a manager that has been sacked from a team around us in the same league? Leicester are a better club overall at the moment - financial resources or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Have to say something about Rodgers just puts me off. He is a decent manager and a clear upgrade on Krusty but I dont think he sets up defences very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachboys1 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 59 minutes ago, useless said: In three full seasons with Leicester Rodgers has finished 5th twice and 8th, and also won an FA Cup, in the season when he took over them with ten games to go, they finished sixth in the form guide based on those final ten games. Feels like we've seen this before, a manager does well at a club but the fans feel they should be doing better, but when that manager leaves things don't get better they get worse and the fans realise they didn't know how good they had it. Rodger's time with Leicester might be drawing to a natural close, but he's done a very good job with them, and it's highly unlikely that their next appointment will do better than he has done. and board not backing him this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers seems close to being sacked, Leicester fans are almost as negative as us at this point so he's likely to be on the market soon. He wouldn't be my choice though. Miles better than SG obviously but not the injection of confidence Villa need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save for a couple of 2nd place finishes in the early 90’s and two league cup wins in the mid 90’s we’ve been the definition of average, maybe that’s just our identity and place in the world. edit - in my lifetime, I meant to add Edited August 22, 2022 by bannedfromHandV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true at all. Contrast our fortunes with Newcastle since Gerrard / Howe were appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young, promising manager, working wonders at a club with far less resources, playing exciting football.

Monkeypuzzle Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Has anyone actually made their thoughts about Gerrard clear to the owners at a match? Have there been any boos or chants aimed at him? I am worried that the owners are nowhere near thinking about his position and I would say that there is far less of the fan base happy with Gerrard at the moment than there was with Smith when he was axed. I never like the idea of booing your team, and I don't think it's the team that are the target of fan's frustration at the moment. I do feel that our frustration with Gerrard needs to be aired more publicly than it is being at the moment. Sky won't give it any coverage or debate as they love him, as do all of their pundits, but something at a match cannot be glossed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if the club doesn't have people that look on social media, and also I doubt the club are ignoring the absybmal performances on the pitch.

Every season I’ve had to listen to Liverpool fans talk about how it’s going to be their year even when they were average but each year they as a club expect the league title. Then they finally won it again. We on the other hand think Pochettino is out of our reach. Hence why we are as you say destined for averageness. No belief, no desire, no ambition to win trophies (eventually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
