Rodgers is still the right man

[winchester_royal]

w_r you are seriously deluded if you think Madejski will not sack Rodgers.
Madejski is an astute businessman, of course he will sack him if he thinks that is what is needed.
He has sacked managers before, and he will again.

He's also shown himself to be loyal, trusting, and non-reactionary.

Or, he doesn't have the money to sack him.

[Ian Royal]

I don't give a shit. Madejski won't have much choice in another couple of weeks unless something changes.

Of course he has a choice. I doubt he gives a flying one wha you think.

Name a manager that has lasted more than a month once he's totally lost the vast majority of the fans. The position becomes untenable and keeping him for longer at that point only does more damage.

[Jimmy the Tree]

Even if he wanted to sack him, he knows he can't as we can't afford to pay off his contract and get a new man in.

So whether or not he's the right man isn't the point, he's the only man we will have.

Even if he takes us down, as he doesn't strike me as the type to fall on his own sword.

If and i think its a big if, Rodgers is sacked surely it has to be within the next couple of weeks before the Jan transfer window and as that is so close i dont think it will happen. If he stays then hopefully we can get a striker or two in, 2 centre backs a left back and 3 midfielders who are hardly freescoring didnt make for a bench with a lot of positive options.

I don't think Rodgers has lost the vast majority of the fans, maybe 60%, but certainly not an unretrievable amount.

[Ian Royal]

Give it a couple more games.

Well apart from your goodself and the Bodgers' love child Royalee, I'm struggling to find anyone else supporting Bodgers on the boards tonight.

Good job HNA isn't particularly representative then.

You are deluded. There are only three people alive on the face of the planet today that share your view, yourself, Andrew1957 (that nut who thinks global warming is a conspiracy to get people to pay more taxes), and Royalee (illegitemate son of Brendan Rodgers).

Not to mention Rodney from BBCRB, and about 10 other people I have spoken to since the game.

[Southbank Old Boy]

That's enough. Beating Coventry and Sheff Wed is nothing to write home about. Okay, Blackpool was a good result but failing to beat Derby and Scunthorpe doesn't inspire me with confidence. Today's failure against a woeful away record, combined with Palace, has made relegation appear like a probability under Rodgers, as opposed to an outside possibility. Brendan; I've given you far more time than 75% or so of Reading fans. Now I'm against you too and unless we dramatically improve quickly JM might begin to agree with me too.

Not winning today is a bad result

Not beating a Derby side who have one of the best home records in the division is not a bad result

If your going to have a pop at Rodgers there are plenty of things to pick on, not beating Derby isnt one of them

This Rodney doesn't happen to have a brother named Del does he? Only a plonker can make excuses for that loud mouthed idiot.

I still dont see the point in sacking him

We are still crying out for someone else capable of scoring on a consistent basis, but I still think we are moving in the right direction

Not getting in a forward on loan was a serious mistake, but we just dont know what restrictions are placed on him in the transfer market

And me ofcourse. What are you moaning about? You're three points clear of the bottom three. Rodgers is still finding his feet and Reading will rise up the table in the second half of his first season in charge. Have a little patience; it can't have been as bad as the drivel I watched this afternoon.

[Southbank Old Boy]

We have a long way to go thats for sure

We are crying out for some more quality throughout the team but I dont think Rodgers has had a chance to really address that yet

I agree with with Ian royal that not adding a forward was a big error, gamble or the product of the financial constrainst, but i really dont think getting rid of him will help at the moment

No disrespect but how many times have you seen us this season? Rodgers doesn't know his best team and seems to pick players from a hat or when they complain about not being in the team i.e. Cisse. We may well survive but it will be down to others in a very poor league and not ourselves. The performances are poor and the manager is not experienced enough. RFC is not a place where rookie managers can learn the game anymore, as it was with McGhee and Pardew and especially not under the circumstances the club currently face.

I think you will find that 60% is a majority. And the word you are looking for is irretrievable. HTH thicko

That's what I wrote first LOL, just didn't look right.

Anyway, 60% may be a majority, but not a vast one.
