    Inexplicable the state the squad and team is in, only way I could see this happening is if Rodgers has thrown the towel in and the board aren't backing him knowing he is away.

    Theres no way Rodgers is here for the long term, entered a window with that squad knowing that all those guys could be going on International duty and have basically did fuckall except sign a single winger to replace Mikey Johnston/Forrest.

    If Ange just took over in the summer and the squad looked in this state we'd have signed 3 minmum if not 4 long term players to come into the starting XI.

    Better for the reputation to go ow, making a stand in defence of himself saying he's been hamstrung, than staying and having the huns celebrate a possible title over him.

    Career would be done. His ego won't allow that.

    Absolutely. Should def be some straight questions asked of him. Rightly so. He defended them, no they've ignored and embarrassed him.

    Potentially get nasty quickly if we drop points on Sat.

    But he has some questions to answer no doubt. He is culpable.

    I feel like Rodgers has isolated a lot of the squad as well, like he made it blatantly clear to many players they're not getting a game at various points.

    Like mind the game he put Bernabei on the wing for like 20 minutes, then brought on Forrest after it. Was a clear snub to Forrest like im even putting Bernabei on before you.

    Ralston has barely seen the light of day all season, he basically does not get involved at all unless Johnston was to be injured.

    Bernabei worse than Ralston, he doesn't get on the bench unless theres an injury meltdown. It's been made clear to him he'll never get a game.

    Iwata could not buy an appearance for months then started being used out the blue I think cause Holm was injured and there was no subs except him for midfield.

    Bernardo he let play in Europe but acted like he was useless for the League for months by playing Turnbull all the time and then Turnbull he never let on the park in Europe in the opposite snubbing way like he's nowhere near getting a game in Europe.Used them like all i've got is these two guys and none of them are good enough to play.

    When he used to pick Johnston, Forrest or Yang out a hat to get a game, was random and swapped about to make it clear none of these guys should be playing but its all thats available so i'll just play them at random.

    Lagerbielke he wouldn't put on the bench, threw on in the CL I think to throw him under the bus thinking if we * up and lose here it proves a point as he brought him on instead of Phillips who he always picked up till then, he scored a winner and the he still didn't even put him on the bench the next game again pointing out to him you saved us there but your not even good enough for our bench, you're still finished here.

    Oh also, even with games won he deprived him of any decent game time. Was completely snubbed for months playing 5-10 minutes every other game.

    The way he treated all them it was clear he doesn't really like any of them, yet we went into January and basically signed 1 guy :88::99:

    That's the rumour. @Henrik 07 mentioned it. Wouldn't surprise me.

    Either you didn't Google it well enough or your definition of the phrase "naughty boy" is way worse than mine.

    He's an actual deranged psychopath

    I'm for him being our manager.

    But he needs questioned and grilled on his comments this season.

    More so the telling us he wants 4 players this window, of quality.
    Telling us we will only sign quality that is going to improve us.

    These have both either been lies, or he's been massively let down and he needs to defend his own position here.

    Time to make your voice heard Brendan.
    Or else you'll go down as being Desmond and lawwells little *.

    Hope it isn't broke. The chair, I mean.

    That'll be the summer budget spent on a replacement.

    It’s a weird one, definitely needs questioned but I think if he was to come out and say he’s been let down etc it would then publicly bring to light such a divide between fans and the board and a whole lot of negativity which can trickle down into performances on the pitch etc….. obviously I don’t know what’s going on but that’s my thoughts on it. I think he’ll try to defend the board and this shitshow of a window then try see us Through to the end of the season, hopefully winning it then he will leave and try to do so on a “positive note”. Trying to make up for how he left last time etc. time will tell. I just can’t see why he would’ve come back otherwise if he was t given assurances that he’d be properly backed. Definitely needs questioned though on his comments of needing quality and making blatantly clear that he didn’t think lads in the squad were up to it after dropping points then bringing in Kuhn and a 6 month loan of idah to fix that?….. strange one

    He definitely won't come out and criticise the people paying his wage.

    I don't doubt he's angry but I've been angry at the bosses above me before but don't go on the Monday call and announce it.

    Just don't think it's realistic to expect him to publicly put them in it and kick off WWIII. As much as I'd love him to.
