He has something like the 5th lowest net spend in the league this past few years. Shitloads my arse.
Brendan Rodgers | Rejoins Celtic on 3 year deal

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
he claimed he wasn't a panic signing and was a first team player then this summer said he was signed to be back up when it suited his bullshit
you're wrong
He'll be gone in few days or weeks, it's clear. Probably after losing to Brighton away on Sunday. Can see him then going to Vila or Everton when Gerrard/Lampard get the sack there.
Pochettino is a quality option for Leicester now as Potter is not leaving Brighton before the end of the season.
If Leicester weren't so poor last season (especially when we sacked Ole), our board would have probably seriously considered Rodgers. I mean, he's very good manager, one of the best amongst British managers, but has his limitations and, as others said, isn't great after first 2 years into the job it seems.

I do wonder if we didn't have a game so close if he would have gone last night or this morning
We spend shitloads, Leicester don't.

He seems to be good at getting teams to play some very entertaining football/players to buy into his methods on a short term basis, and then it goes to shit. I'm not sure what the issue is exactly; do players quickly realise he's a-bit of a nob?
His record in the transfer market is also extremely hit-and-miss, too. I do think he's a good coach, who is capable of having teams play some lovely stuff, but he just can't seem to sustain it.

You look at this Leicester team and there are some talented footballers there. How are they so bad?
ETH resorts to playing a back 5 against Arsenal
I reckon he will be gone by the middle of next week.
How much do they have to pay him to leave?
He’s done. Foxes should get rid ASAP to save their season.
If he can shore up the defence they aren’t bad going forward.
What has happened to soyuncku? Why is he not getting a look in?
Vestergaard I understand being left out, pretty average player but they miss ndidi tidying up things in midfield.
I think he’s getting it wrong at the moment.

Would Pochettino fancy Leicester? They are of a similar quality to Spurs when he arrived there and I think he'd do really there if they let him build a squad.
Not his fault. Club spent next to nothing. Players left. Others want out.
Literally nothing he can do to turn that tide.

Poch would be a coup for Leicester. But I doubt he’d be up for a club that has refused to spend this season.
Rodgers made Soyuncu a scapegoat last season and won’t let him get a look in, now seems he’s heading to Galatasaray
It literally is he’s spend so badly that the club can’t spend due to ffp
Yep he's gone.
Probably thinks there is still time to throw his hat in the prime minister ring.

Logically I agree, but he does still have some very good players. I think managers more used to these situations do a better job of keeping morale and confidence up amongst the squad, whereas Rodgers had publicly voiced his frustrations and I doubt is setting the right kind of tone behind the scenes. I suspect Rodgers doesn't really want to be there any longer and would be happy to be sacked. A manager more experienced/willing to work on a budget would do better in their current situation imo.
5-2
That’ll do pig
That’ll do pig
He can't survive this surely. Sacked in the morning.
Has to be gone surely.
I thought he’d be done after the post match comments on Thursday. I’m somewhat amazed he took charge of this game but I’m guessing the three day turnaround between games doesn’t help.
Who‘d take charge of them? Are they going to be ambitious as feck and go for Poch?

Surely gone now; 5 defeats on the bounce.
Good shout, match made in heaven by the looks of it
He's fecked, but the club haven't helped him.
I'm glad we've already played them now before he got sacked. They've got very good players and someone will do a good job coming in
sky sources are reporting that he’s frantically opening envelopes in the dressing room and sobbing as he keeps pulling his own name out of each one. most of the players are slinking off to the team bus.
Just heard on the radio that's Leicester's worst ever start to a season.
Poch isn't going from a team who bought Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to a team who sold good players and are refusing to buy. And are bottom.
History has told us that you can have a good squad but continuous additions are still required to keep things ticking along. Similar thing happened with Poch at Spurs.
That's him done, what a torrid year he's had from beibg touted fir United job to getting the boot ten months later!
Roy to come out of retirement?
He got fired though, his stock isn't that high.
If he's hoping for Europe's elite he might be disappointed and he seems a man of principle so he might rule out a club like Chelsea.
Bayern - probably won't sack their manager any time soon
Real - doing well with Ancelotti
Barca - won't go there
United - was probably favoured until ETH
Man City - unlikely to part with Pep
Liverpool - Klopp will most likely remain until next season
Chelsea - Spurs rival, would he go?
Arsenal - even bigger rival
Spurs return - Conte doing well right now
Juventus - would be a good shout but dont look like sacking Allegri
AC/Inter - same as above
Dortmund - would be a good fit
Newcastle - would be a good fit but Howe doing well
5-2 loss could be too big for their board to wait for international break before sacking him. It may be a matter of hours now..
I think his inability to recruit the right sort of players to build on the foundations he makes is a big issue. That, plus him being a knob seems like a bad combo. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s massively fallen out with some of the players — Fofana seemed to make a jibe, Sonyuncu has been completely frozen out to the point where a midfielder is playing CB, Castagne doesn’t seem to get as many starts anymore etc.
