100%. I can't remember the last time a manager so clearly looked and sounded like he wanted the sack. He definitely has had enough and wants out. His post match interviews, he's just going through the motions. "Onto the next game", "we will get a win eventually", "boy are playing well they just need a bit of luck". You can tell the energy has gone from his demeanor. I think he knows the players need a new voice, the same as what happened with us and Poch. You either get rid of a load of players and go through a rebuild or you get rid of the manager. The problem for Leicester is they don't have the money for a rebuild, and Rodgers will also be an expensive sacking too. It's crazy how quickly it changes in football, they looked like a perfect example of how to run a club a couple of years ago, astute signings for decent money, excellent football style. Their recent signings seem to have been really poor though. It shows how fickle football is, you are always just a few signings either good from improving or bad, from falling away. We signed Kulu, Bentancur, Romero and flourished, they signed Daka, Soumare etc
Feel a bit from him he was apparently asked to resign after our game as they can’t afford to sack him.

the problem for them is simply really

Schmeichel out - true leader at the club replaced him with Danny Ward who is one of the worst keepers I have seen at professional level no idea how he is where he is!

The back up keeper is laughable even worse!

Full backs are injury prone and not actually very good at defending

Centre backs are declining the one that made the other average ones good isn’t very good anymore Evans

they gambled on Soumare who is dreadful he got burnt by Hojbjerg despite being fresh on!

Ndidi looks like he doesn’t really want to be there same with Tielemans

Vardy - close to retiring

recruitment in last two years has been shambolic gambling, Daka,Soumare,Bertrand,Faes,Vestergaard,Praet

Then throw in an arrogant manager who believes his team outplay everybody and are unlucky and it’s a recipe for disaster on top of a chairman who is worried about the clubs financials

Maddison is going to have to be sold,Tielemans and Ndidi also they will in fact probably go down!

This can't be true, a large portion of this board held them up as the gold standard for Premier League recruitment! "Why can't we be more like Leicester?" they screamed from the rooftops.

Every one of those players, "someone who would instantly make us better" LOL. Almost like our scouts and board knew what we were doing...

Now they're going to get relegated and their turnover is over 100%. Maybe they'd "do a Leeds". Would hate to see it.

Not sure anyone seriously thought Vestergaard or Bertrand would make us instantly better, and with Daka and soumare they were young players who needed to be bedded in slowly into a competing team, both could still go on to have decent careers.

Don’t even think anyone mentioned Faes this summer.

That’s why I have no sympathy with Rogers saying they need fresh faces etc.

He’s had the money previous summers and he’s squandered it.

Had a good base with likes of Maddison and Barnes etc and bought the rubbish mentioned above in then expects more money to buy further.

Especially at a club like Leicester where they really should be spending the money more wisely.

And the way they’ve handled the goalkeeper situation is also laughable.

Yet so many on SC were regularly telling us what a wonderful job Leicester were doing with their recruitment and holding them up as an example to us.

They have all switched, now it's Brighton that are flavour of the season.

Do they still have an issue with the EFL? possibly starting next year with a hefty points deduction, or has all been forgiven now?

They could be fucked.

Earlier on BT Sport they said the average finishing positin for a relegated club from the Premiership is 8th the following season, then 11th the season after.

They could stay down there for a while.

I personally think we should stay away.

He has been partly responsible.

Tweeting what he said in March shows his mentality is lacking

I don’t think it’s something we will need to worry about. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t choose Newcastle this summer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester went down again in the next 2 years.

Also, maybe Leeds. A Leeds fan was saying how much they are in a mess behind the scenes too and was saying there's no way they go straight back up or even challenge
