joeyt Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Read a short while ago that Rodgers is admired by Man City so might hang on at Leicester until Pep goes next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Is Rodgers even that good? His teams seem to completely collapse at the end of the season. Liverpool failing to win the league and Leicester twice missing out on the top four. FA Cup win was good and he did well with Celtic, but also seems to have a lot of limitations. They’ve been crap this season and could end up limping out of Europa League for the second season soon too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers is a good manager, but i can't ever quite get over the fact that he got comprehensively bamboozled by 'Tactics' Tim Sherwood when we beat them in the FAC semi final.

Why did Terry leave, by the way? Didn’t even notice that happen. Said he thought the time was right for him to move in a management role somewhere and that if he stayed on, he'd be misleading the club in terms of what he wanted to be doing. I'll be totally honest, before Terry joined us as a player, I hated him, like all non Chelsea fans do. For obvious reasons. But in the time he spent playing with us in the Championship, he was absolutely magnificent - yes, of course he was the best centre half in the league, but he was a leader, and his attitude was absolutely spot on, when a lot of players in his position would have just come for a final pay cheque. You saw from his attitude alone why he had had such an incredible career as a player. He will always be about Chelsea, but he absolutely gave the club nothing but respect, and totally won over a cynical fan base. When he then went into a coaching role, he got the defence playing extremely well, and was clearly a belts-and-braces coach - ie, totally in. No half measures. I am aware of all the arguments to the contrary in terms of his character and the shagging and racism stuff but he showed in a single year playing for us, the difference between the top clubs and the way their players are, and the rest of us.

Sounds like he has great credentials for a management role then. He also seems to have quite a bit of loyalty and standards in playing/coaching football, which is quite ironic when you consider his personal life.

SUPERTOON Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Do you expect Villa to have someone lined up already or will take the international break to get someone in ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet everything I own they have someone ready. Craig Shakespeare, the assistant, has also gone today. If there was nobody lined up, he'd be into the caretaker role. All this is very sad. At the end of the day, he joined us 18th or something in the Championship, won 10 in a row, got us promoted, got us to the LC final, kept us up, got us into a decent mid table slot, is a Villa fan through and through (lost his Dad this year, who was a steward at the club for years). I can't ever remember thinking that a sacking was the right thing to do, but also feeling so sick about it. Brian Little is the only possible comparison for me. I do think, though, that with big money and investment as we have had, comes bigger expectations, and although he effectively played a bit part in saving the club (that's why Villa fans worshipped Graham Taylor. Not because he got us second in the first division, because he literally saved the club), it has been really clear that he is not capable of taking us further at the current time. Compared to that shallow fuck Bruce, it was night and day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Love Brummie like. Genuinely one of the best contributors on this forum. Shame he's a fucking Villa fan mind but I suppose everyone has their wrinkles. I wish he was a toon fan because I know a few I could send the other way.

brummie Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 BTW. If I were a betting man - which I am - I am hearing enough about Graham Potter to make me think it is worth a few quid. Which I have done. That’s a “think this may happen” not a “want this to happen” thing. Don’t bet your mortgage on it, but worth beer money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'd hate Villa to get Potter, think he's very good. We really need some duffers appointed in these roles Think the day of the PFM may have gone, Bruce really the last remnant to be flushed in the PL. Can't see who'd be recycled next. Will be interesting to see who out the 00's players can really prove themselves or how many will fall into getting jobs of their name alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow up. It’s hard to rate him against mid table managers given what happened at Cardiff. Most premier league managers have achieved something at championship or lower premier league level without having giant financial advantages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
