TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 17, 2022 Absolutely not. He's too democratic, which is why the novelty wears off a few seasons into a job and he loses control. The Leicester players vote for who they want as captain and they have a 'players council' which makes decisions. We don't need that, we need a manager who isn't afraid of putting a rocket up their backsides. I wouldn't go as far as to say that he's a fraud, but rather that his unconventional techniques can be effective in the short term but he's consistently shown that they don't work in the longer term.

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted September 17, 2022 No. We dived in last time with the first out of work manager we could find. Our next choice needs to be more discerning and strategic thinking than what we have now. Not saying Rodgers can't be that, but he needs time out the game for a while.

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I don't think we dived in with the first out of work manager. As I understood it when he lost the Villa job he became the highest available manager on Webber's list. Edited September 17, 2022 by nutty nigel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that a little harsh. If you look at his last four jobs: Swansea: Was there for two seasons and did brilliantly. Certainly didn't lose control, poached by Liverpool. Liverpool: Bit harsh to say he lost control. I think 'lost Suarez' was more the issue. Celtic: Had three seasons there and was still dominating when he left for Leicester. Leicester: Excellent for two years and should've qualified for the Champions League twice, before late blowouts cost them. But he has certainly lost control. They're a mess. He's still going to get a Premier League (or equivalent) job next though because of the work he has done previously. He comes across as a bit of a creepy fella at times but I rate him as a coach.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 18, 2022 Have I missed something? As much as I, among many it seems, am not a fan of Deano, there is no way in the world he is going to be leaving unless we go on a dramatic run of defeats. Because of our recent history, parachute payments and bigger and better squad, winning has become the only objective it seems. We are already discussing next season as if we are promoted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbf winning should be the only objective, no? But yeah, Rodgers won’t come here because we’re not losing and couldn’t afford him even if we were. Not convinced Dean is the man long term, personally, there’s a caretaker feel at the moment. But as long as he’s getting points consistently, he’s got his chance to get better and prove otherwise. I do hope it’s either that, or a relatively painless separation and match-made-in-heaven type replacement. Just don’t want a detrimental run of results mediocrity to develop, wiping out promotion hopes while he gets benefit of the doubt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,300 Posted September 18, 2022 So if Rodgers goes, I suppose Smith will be first choice! I mean some on here are all about Facts and given he’s improved our team and performances by a country mile from Farke, he must be a shore bet to take over! He’s the best manager outside the Premier league! I will miss him, hope we get decent compensation!👍😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
