Sky - this sounds about right TBH.

"The alignment between the manager and the club, the sustainability of the club and being profitable and doing things in the right way is important. There was a big gap between what Scott wanted and what the club wanted. I don't think the results are the issue.

"They beat Aston Villa, they weren't expected to then get anything against Manchester City but still played well in the second half. Arsenal was a tough game. Liverpool could have won the quadruple last season, so results are irrelevant. There was so much more at play."

---------

It gets a lot easier for the incoming manager !

You’d expect Bournemouth to be shite ever since they allowed generational talent, Ryan Fraser, to leave on a free.

He’s been instrumental in Newcastle’s turnaround.

Definitely the sort of player you’d want “in a heartbeat”.
 
Fixtures don't look favourable to Gerrard and Lampard in terms of turning things around...

Leicester wont sack him.

They know they've not backed him, probably don't have the money to even pay him off.
 
I’ve not followed what’s going on there. Probably because I don’t care. But what’s the deal?

I don’t think they need a wedge to sack Brodge. They can just keep paying him till he gets another job and pay any excess for “loss of earnings”. Maybe @Beamrider knows.

In terms of cash, haven’t they just built better training facilities than us?

It will depend on his employment contract. There's a pretty rigid, standard contract for players in the EPL but there's no equivalent for staff (including coaching staff). When Rodgers left us, he got a whopping pay-off, which probably means his contract provided that the only way he could be removed from first team duties was if he was sacked. If his adviser is worth his salt then he'll have negotiated the same with Leicester.
For the garden leave option to work, it will either need to be provided specifically in the contract (I think Spurs try to do that by default, for example), or else it would need to be agreed between the manager and the club when they remove him from duties. I did see one case where that happened by mutual agreement as the manager wanted to defer his termination / pay-off until after 5 April as the top rate of tax dropped from 50% to 45%.

Why do you think he'll get another job? He could sit around for years living off Leicester's money whether by choice or because his reputation is shit. They'd be paying two managers. It'd be easier to agree an expensive one off payment as a compromise
 
When you "bad mouth" about the management, things usually don't go well... 🙄
[article]He said: "I understand the fans' frustration. They see all their rivals getting players in and we're not getting any."

Rodgers, who lost keeper Kasper Schmeichel and then defender Wesley Fofana in a £70m move to Chelsea, added: "With the greatest respect, we have not had the help in the market this team needed.

"To watch clubs in the top five leagues add players and we haven't been able to do that has been difficult. We needed help and we haven't been able to do that.

"I came to Leicester to compete and initially I was able to do that. You have to add quality but in the last two windows we haven't been able to do that. I would have loved to have added five or six players but if you can't do that you have to respect it and work with what we have."[/article]
 
What's going on at Leicester, Rodgers is right they are selling off every asset they've got and putting nothing back into the club.

Tough ask perhaps, but Rodgers barely missing out on CL in 19/20 and 20/21 doesn't help his case.

Those who run football clubs are stupid. We had decades of the same faces getting jobs. He’ll join that circus.
