This has happened too many times lately - I put out a quite negative prediction yet somehow end up being overly optimistic against what actually turns out. See also our five games so far.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted September 9, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't know. I think maybe the summer as he's a year behind Tielemans essentially with the contract situation. Next summer is going to be fucking bumpy.

The summer could fix things but that requires us being very smart. The fact Rodgers has survived this particular run where he's practically begging to be sacked doesn't fill me with any confidence. We're going to lose players whether we stay up or go down. We might be in some real mess if we go down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 298 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Just now, Stan said: Which sources were these? none I would definitively say is worth completely leaning on but it is plausible. Leicester's financial woes are not just down to payroll which is actually not that high. COVID impacted the owners assets badly falling what was said to be substantial financial damage. this is why they closed the tap given that even at profit a football club is not a cash cow. maddison, Rodgers, Vardy cut pretty dejected figures neither seem interested. the other question is why wouldn't Maddison want to play for Newcastle?

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted September 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted September 10, 2022 I think it's more believable now given what has panned out and I think it's probably the likeliest scenario you get him in a year, albeit based on this summer I can see it dragging out, unless we've been relegated in which case you'd get him for probably less money - although if we go down I expect others to come in for him too and that could be your problem. If he went to Newcastle he would do well to achieve more there than he has here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have about 4-5 good young players to build around though so it's far from doom and gloom. I do feel for Rogers, overachieving has finally caught up and it's no fault of his. hopefully Leicester can do enough to survive and maybe even better.

Rodgers is definitely partly at fault but the club made the mistake in giving him an enormous, risky contract that a club of our stature quite simply shouldn't have been paying out, particularly given his poor track record of building at clubs. We also largely gave him the power to shape things. We bought in his head of recruitment, his club doctor, and both of these departments went to shit - and have contributed to our malaise. But the club ultimately should've had the foresight to see this. I think our owners' naivety cost us. Maddison will likely leave in the summer regardless. We're simply not going to be able to match his ambition anymore. Worst case scenario is last last season turns into a bit of an outlier in his form and the World Cup passing kills that extra bit of motivation. You can see it as well.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted September 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted September 10, 2022 4 hours ago, True Blue said: How much is he on mate? £9-10mil a year. A club like us just simply shouldn't be giving out contracts like that. More than just that though is the length of contract - he's got another three years, so he's still contracted to get about £25-30mil from us. We're not an elite level club that can take a gamble like that on a manager. It was particularly ill informed given how badly he's given up as well. I'll never forgive the way he's just flunked this. He's either absolutely lost the plot or he's trying to get sacked. Whatever it is it's not on. We took a risk and it backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted June 26, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 26, 2023 It's a fucker that we've got a bidding war between two tightarses. We need Chelsea or Man Utd to save us. Our summer is sort of paused until we make a big sale and I wouldn't bet on it being Maddison or Barnes. I'm thinking possibly Castagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I long had a theory that it suited him whilst being to the detriment of the team. I think there's a case to say that's a lot of what's happened in the past couple of years.
