[Football] Rodgers gone

[Cowfold Seagull]

At least Leicester have sorted out their FFP issues by offloading at the start of the season, but have not replaced with cheaper options that were not too much of a downgrade, and their position reflects this.

Probably too late to save them, particularly if they draft in a Nathan Jones type appointment.

Too late to save them? l''m not sure, still a fair few games to go yet. Southampton, Bournemouth, Leeds, Wet Spam, Forest, Wolves, Everton, Leicester . . . it will only be three of them.

 

[CaergybiGull]

How odd that the career path post-Celtic is managing Leicester…

 

[Screaming J]

Quick return to work for Vieira ?

 

[Weststander]

Almost all their fixtures look winnable, 6 are at home.

So tight down there, just 5 points off 12th, 1 point from safety, with a far superior GD over 5 clubs.

A great opportunity for a quality coach/man-manager.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

One of those clubs in my opinion which has been over-reaching for a while. I thought despite us salvaging a late draw at theirs, LCFC were utterly woeful on the day. Rarely seen a PL home team play so negative. If they go down, they could easily become a Wednesday, Boro, Stoke type of club because aside from two or three decent players they have a LOT of highly-paid dross in the squad….

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You have to wonder who they're going to get in. Really not a lot about.

Curbs
Souey
Steevie G?

Is Baby Doc not in balls deep like Papa Doc?

Brendan Rodgers is taking a break from the game to spend more time in front of his mirror.

Sad.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

That’s a roke way of looking at it

Welease Wodgers

I have a speech impediment.

Gotta be Potter. It’s an absolute dead cert, surely. Perfect move for both sides.

 

[saafend_seagull]

A good fit for potter, more his level.

Ooooh, yes. Good shout.

And let us not forget.....Big Sam!

No you ducking foant. Lat's a thigh.

If he takes another job straight away, won't that impact his compensation payment from Chelsea (however much that is)

I believe he can command his Chelsea basic salary for a reasonable period of time whilst out of work. He could argue he’s a top six manager and not apply for lower clubs and get away with this for a couple of years if it was simply a money motivator.

However if he were to join someone else within a year there’s probably elements of the pay off that stop (wage contributions) but probably won’t affect any bulk compensation arrangement.

All down to the contract. I imagine the terms of UK employment law have come as a shock to the Americans!

I'm not so sure, I'm fairly certain he wants his family to stay living down here as his daughters are in there early teens and he doesn't want to keep moving them about after Sweden, Swansea and Brighton in a short space of time. That's why he and the family has remained living down here. I imagine he'll want some time off and then hold out for a job in London or even Southampton/Bournemouth.

I got on at 10/1 as the news broke. Worth a punt, it just seems a perfect fit from purely a playing/ethos perspective.
