To call him a rubbish manager is just daft really, he's obviously not rubbish.
Pretty much. I just don't understand what people see in him, but his Leicester team choked twice in getting into the top 4 before they got well below their own recent standards so far in the League. We're not going to find consistency nor proper glory with him.
Harsh on Rodgers. He is a decent manager, but a decent manager isn't what we need to fix Ole's mess. Maybe if we didn't waste 4 years on Ole, Rodgers would have been fine as an option, but right now we need proper class. Can't have any more half measures.
Probably wont leave mid season. Real reason probably being the board never heard of him.
Can't say harsh on Rodgers then say we've wasted 4 years on Ole, which in itself is just as harsh.
I find the underrating of Rodgers so bizarre on here.
The Rodgers talk is 100% coming from his side through the media like Conte
Hey at least if we get Rodgers and it's clearly not working we won't give him 3 years like Ole.
We get Rodgers, if Ten Hag or Poch become available in the summer you sack him. Time to become ruthless, we're Manchester United for Gods sake. We need to start moving like Madrid and Bayern, Madrid have had 4 managers since we've had Ole, they've won 2 la ligas in that time. Bayern have had 3, they've won a treble and last season won the league in that time.
Forget all this long term bollocks. Get the best manager available if he doesn't work out bye bye, go for the next one.
It’s like we are just buying into any old shite on Twitter because we are so desperate to see the back of Ole.
BR would be hugely underwhelming but the way his teams play would suit the players we have at the club.
If it was a short 2-3 year contract it wouldn’t be too bad I guess…..anyone but Ole really.

It's not harsh at all. We've spent 500 million with next to no improvement from Jose's days. Years have been absolutely wasted while Liverpool and City have improved tremendously over the same period. Liverpool, in particular, with very little spending done.
Anyone else think it’s spin, get excited by Rodgers (for some) only to find Ole in the dugout come Watford??
None of that is based in reality though is it, what's the point of these fairytale scenarios? We're not hiring Rodgers to then sack him a few months later, are we?
look what's going on right now with Ole!If you see no improvement from the Jose days, thats your opinion. I think most would disagree with you. Yes we've spunked money not brilliantly, its the thing we've done best since Fergie left.
It's the Daily Star rehashing the same stories about Rodgers and Newcastle from a few weeks ago.
It's funny how people can convince themselves it's a good idea just because he isn't Ole.

Where's the improvement, in your opinion?
This makes no sense.
Why would we need to make a deal with Leicester if we're triggering a clause in Brenda's contract?
So all you’ve done is say ‘rumours coming from sources that are far from reputable are coming out of the Netherlands’. Should I just quote the express if they have rumours about Rodgers?
We’re close. We’re not quite there but we’re very close to that level of apathy that would be indistinguishable from toxicity. It seems like they players have reservations and thoughts, but it hasn’t yet transferred into the training ground being a poor place to work. Give it a loss more or two then no matter how much they like the boss they’ll just become too jaded to work hard.
It's the daily star, it's not supposed to make sense.
Fair enough.
Rodgers is a very good manager. He would be the best appointment post-Ferguson. Plays good football, been good everywhere he's gone, with the only asterisk against him being that he conceded a lead in the league with Liverpool side that some think should have won.
Eriksen was touted as Ferguson's replacement when he was going to retire the first time around and Ferguson mentioned it himself in hindsight saying how flavour of the month/year managers quickly turn out to be very underwhelming in retrospect. Bielsa comes to mind.
Of all the available managers, Rodgers makes the most sense.

That's hilarious. It sounds like someone other than United are in charge of sacking Ole.
Totally agree. I hope it happens soon.
I don't think anyone doubts his ability as a manager. It's more a case of we've been mocking the guy on here for years and years, only for him to become our next manager?
What if he sees this? https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the-brendan-gerrard-show.439873/
I’m trying to remain optimistic about the potential arrival of Rogers. My concerns like many are he has been in charge of teams that have bottled big situations. You could say it was Gerrard that bottled it for him and his Leicester side never really had any right to be challenging for top 4. At least he plays decent football but like with Ole I have my doubts if he can win us the big trophies
Ideally I wouldn't want Rodgers but if I woke up tomorrow to here Ole was gone and Rodgers was in I'd be happy enough.
Plus if Rodgers failed I doubt we'd stock with him long since he used to manage Liverpool.
We need to learn to fire managers quicker

I agree, he still has a lot of question marks. But, if he's the only manager available right now I'd take him. At least he won't get as much patience from the fans and the board if it's not working out. He'd be gone fairly quickly.
If we win against Watford I don’t want to see players beating their chests on twitter saying “this is for you” or some other bs. Pass me the sick bucket already
Ole has been so shit we’ve wasted 4 years on him despite him not even having been here for 3.
The forum will be full with the Ole-In fans saying "I told you so".
The thing is, even if Ole turns it around, it will never be good enough. There is just no point.
I never said I think that would happen. I think it should happen, I hope it would happen. But with this board it will not.
Yeah I think it’s a legit thin too. He will know Ole isn’t up to
100% agree there. Imagine if someone had come in and basically just continued the success he was having - it’s a unique situation to have someone choose their successor in the first place.
Do agree it’s different now, but think he’s too loyal and perhaps to attached to Ole to even consult on this matter. Wonder what it would take for Sir Alex to go full ole out mode like many of us
I would take rodgers over ole but feck i don’t think he’s the level of manager we should be looking at. This sucks.
Not sure that click bait news is as much of a thing overseas as it is here. Ten Haag to city would certainly seem plausible with the forethought their board have shown before, knowing guardiola is leaving in 2023 and him playing a similar brand of football.
We’re fast approaching a situation that’s more toxic than the Jose one simply because it’s been allowed to fester.
Do you really believe that people in the know get fed information from people in the board or even the damn owners?
I wish Ole had the balls to call out the players like the great man used to do: I see his lack of authority as being a major reason why his time is now up…
This, especially after seeing his anger and dismay at OT when Liverpool beat us. I thought he had enough at that point, especially as it came so soon after he expressed his view about Solskjaer needing to start his best players while surely knowing cameras where on him
Don’t worry we won’t beat Watford
I disagree, were worse
