H88 is one of the chaps who gets a few bits & pieces from behind the scenes.

The general rule (or so I’m aware) is to keep questions around their info to a minimum as well as not questioning the validity of what’s being shared.

It’s being shared in good faith with the idea being that there are multiple moving parts to any one deal, so things are bound to change.

I’m only telling you this to save you getting an ear ache from other members.

Go well.

Appreciate the post mate.

I initially replied to the poster but will let the mods deal with it.

Not everything I post is info, a lot is opinion. Things change regularly behind the scenes and when I make it very clear this morning that I've heard nothing for 5/6 days, it's just pure laziness from the poster.

Not going to waste anymore time on it anyway, but you can see why ITK doesn't always hang around too long when you get comments like this.

This position we are in, 4th and well in the mix for a CL place challenge, is exactly the positon Rodgers has twice bottled in recent memory.

May he never manage our club.

Challenging at the top means large serious investment. Probably 2 CB’s, 1 GK, 1-2 top draw AM’s (if we are getting someone like Naglesmann). It’s at least 5-6 players of good quality, a £200-300m outlay. I am not sure we are doing that and this is assuming Kane signs a new deal.

Levy isn't spending 200-300mil, I can't think of any club outside of City or Chelsea that would. And certainly not over a season or two.

Football Manager is a game by the way.
:whistle:

But he reached second with Liverpool. His Leicester team weren't one of the so called 'Big 6'. He had them punching above their weight.

LCFC Statement - Brendan Rodgers

Leicester City Football Club has reached a mutual agreement with Brendan Rodgers that will see him leave the Club after four years as our Men’s First Team Manager.

www.lcfc.com

Rogers on choosing a club, and on Spurs:

“They’d had 11 managers in 18 years. I needed to create something; I needed to go to a club that was going to give me that opportunity"
(2013)

Leicester are 19th, with the players they have they should be much higher, Rodgers may have somewhat over achieved at Leicester in the but he’s currently massive under achieving and is not right for us imo.

The concept of “bottling it” is fast becoming one of those annoying (lazy) football clichès. So over-used and often out of context.

It’s become acceptable to say a side has “bottled it” if they don’t win, or finish second. I appreciate it’s designed to rub salt-in, but it’s so boring and often predictable to read.

You can’t “overachieve” and then “bottle it”, that would be the definition of an oxymoron.

All part of the "banter" culture that is rife on social media.
Which I'm sure is connected to the increased trouble in and around the stadiums.

Please don’t be Rodgers
……

Didn't Leicester beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final two seasons ago?

For a team that has won bugger all in two decades we are getting rather choosy of late on who should replace two managerial serial winners.

For a team in the bottom three Rogers put out a side that destroyed us a month or so ago.

I feel that he wouldn't manage us anyway, and possibly wouldn't get interviewed, but a lot of people in here seem to be dismissive of experienced winners.

Leicester are ninety three million in debt, and have cut their cloth accordingly, and Rogers hasn't become a bad manger in three quarters of a season and for sure wouldn't have brought in Sanchez, Sess and Perisic and would have given Gil, DJ and Danjuma some first team playing time.

Oh and plays a system that would have the stadium buzzing.

Agree, I've always seen banter as teenager behaviour or at least the behaviour of an 'adult' that can't or won't grow up. When grown ups talk about football it's just different.

A large proportion of football banter on social media seems to be from overseas fans.

CookieYiddo · Apr 2, 2023

I’m not saying we should have Gucci belt at the top of our list but i he wouldn’t be a Nuno level disaster like some are making out. He did very well with Leicester until this season.

I don't understand that people outside of Spurs actually rate Rodgers. To me he's a serial loser and if Levy does employ him he will be gone by the end of next season or before.

Agreed.

For the love of Spurs · Apr 2, 2023

We all have in our own minds what needs to happen but I guess most fans would be for the below

- manager who plays either possession or hard press attacking football.

- manager who uses and develops youth to supplement this with high energy.

- culture from top to bottom to support this including new DoF who has this vision.

- time, patience and above all support from the board for this.

curious to hear fans who have a different viewpoint of how we should proceed.

Correct me if I'm wrong couple yesrs back didbt we have itk that Rodgers hates Levy and wouldbever work for him

Brenton would absolutely jump at the chance to manage Spurs. His comments about avoiding us being a “close shave” were said at the height of his Liverpool arrogance, when he genuinely thought he might be in the top 5 coaches worldwide.

Whilst I’m certain he retains a vile level of smug self-confidence, he knows that there are no top clubs in for him and his most likely next destination is a sideways or downwards move. His budget at Spurs would be incomparably larger than he had at Leicester, and the glory he might receive at actually winning something after so many have failed would be a far greater accolade than a one-off FA Cup with Leicester.

He would wank himself into a coma if Levy offered him the job.

I desperately hope he doesn’t get the job.

What’s all this Brenda bollucks. Nothing is ever going to happen there.
