Talking about how crazy it is to be talking about sacking a manager is generally the first step on the road to him being sacked. Another couple of bad results and it'll be the majority opinion. And if things are just as bleak by January he'll probably be gone.
No they shouldn't insist. That'll be against the working relationship they built when they hired him ie. no technical director. They can offer their advice and give him the tools to turn the situation around. Give him funding to replace the players not working out or even give him a ultimatum but they don't insist on how Rodgers should operate.
This way, if he fails then it was his own doing.
He will get till the end of the season and unless things get really bad I can't see the crowd turning on him, so there is no real problem in terms of support.
I don't think he's been unlucky, I think this situation is largely of his own making. He likes to talk the talk it seems, so let's see what he's really made of now. I'd rather he succeeded than not, obviously, but have been very disappointed so far this season.

100%
@redhorizon2 I'd give him this season and till Christmas 2015 if needed. He's got what it takes, but he's had to manage a lot of change, and last year's display was definitely ahead of schedule. I don;t want to see him punished because of his own successes. Hard times make some managers better. And he's the type to learn from his errors. What's the point in a new manager? Another huge outlay to give him the team he wants? And then if it doesn't work, we start again. NO, BR has what it takes, we know that. Give him the opportunity to integrate the new, and make mistakes as well. He'll come out better on the other side.
Would you stop Whirly. We had a blinder of a season. Far from perfect, but it was a blinder. There can be only one memory of it - a huge leap forward.
As a whole it was a success, but if you take away the contribution talent had, the systems we played had very little impact on our success.
Iirc just about all of our matches against the mid and lower table sides in the second half last year were one goal affairs or two goal track meets. We got saved by a late penalty twice I think, alongwith other late goals as well.
Analyzing the game individually paints a different picture where we often should've dropped points but didn't.
I usually just avoid the footie forum at times like this. My head's held high and I ain't afraid of the dark.
I'll support him if he starts winning. I will get on his back if he doesn't. He is no different to when Roy or Kenny was around; if he is toxic you need to cut him loose. I think many here are blinkered by what he did last year, the way he walk the walk and talk the talk, hoping or confirming him as the next Messiah. The jury was always out though, at least for me. Was last season due to him or Suarez? Many of his grandeur speeches have also came back to bite him. His lack of a defence. The over reliance on Suarez. The dodgy signings. He can no longer hide, Dec will be a huge month for him that will decide his future I suspect, whether we like it or not.
There's another member of the "Back Him" group - well done @Modo
Thats the boat I am in... Except the Newcastle fan bit..
I hope to god we can turn things around.. I was hoping last night was the turning point.. but it didn't feel it...
I do believe you are sincere Jono but would it be correct to suggest that you got some 'joy' from Rodgers interview last night. It feels like some of ye actually want Rodgers to fail so ye can get him out. That is one thing I can't support.
Im backing him, 100%. Ive always liked him and that has changed on the basis of the last 3 months of shite. He has til the end of the season to get back on the right track. Changing managers now would probably be a watershed moment for me, Im not the type of fan who clings blindly to sentiment, when its time to move on its time, but sacking Rodgers now would make us a different club as far as Im concerned. Yes Hodgson was binned early but he never should have gotten the job and every thing he said and did at the club was a slap in the face to the fans, he had to go.
I do think the board should make him consider his coaching options, it seems as though one of his biggest problems is a lack of quality in the backroom staff. It should be put to him that the defensive and goalkeeping coaches are letting him down and should be replaced. I cant remember the last goalkeeper who improved during their time with us, it seems like we sign really highly rated keepers get one or two seasons out of them and then they turn to shit, we need new blood in the coaching department. Lots of people have suggested Carra and Id have no problem with that but Id rather see Hyppia come back in as defensive coach or even assistant manager seeing as he has some experience in the hot seat hiself.

With Hodgson it was different. We knew we were getting the footballing anti-christ. Rodgers wants to play football the right way. That makes one want him to succeed. It doesn't make one excuse or ignore his mistakes and problems, but it does mean there's a hope there that he learns from his errors and evolves in a positive way. He just needs to start showing signs of doing so.
I can't speak for Jono, because he seems a good sort, but you definitely get that feeling with Modo, Whirly and KopRed, to name a few. I bet they all love Rafa too. "People are blinkered by last season". You mean like that CL win that carried Rafa for 6yrs? Not just three months of the next season.
He's a fellow Mod, obv.
Yeah, I don't care about Rafa. Would actually be against him getting appointed.
If BR said the right things in that interview it would be a sign of him coming to terms with reality. But unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.
Yada Yada, lots of bullshit and witch hunt finger pointing coming from a MOD. I post maybe 10 posts in a month and I get pointed out for having a different opinion and without reasons whatsoever. And you go on and on about Modo trolling. Talk about the irony.
I don't think im going over the top btw...
Ok maybe one topic was uncalled for, thats my passion ruling my head though... But I do think their is genuinley people on here who are prepared to stick with the manager too easily based on the the evidence of last season..
When really in a nutshell.. the problems of last season have been magnified due to Rodgers coaching inadequacies..
