That was toxic, stadium emptying after their 2nd goal, boos all around, fantastic!

Said it for ages, he's done here, we're just fking ourselves over by giving him more time, we're continually getting worse and something needs to be done. Chelsea and United next ffs.

So having finished 5th and 8th in the Premier League in the last two seasons - plus winning the FA Cup - Leicester fans want rid of Rodgers after only three games of the current season? Wow....

He should have gone in the summer, it was a ridiculous decision that he started the season as our manager. The Rodgers of 18 months ago is not the Rodgers we are seeing now.

It's so obvious to anyone watching that he's finished here.

So what's gone wrong; a good coach - which IMO Rodgers is - surely doesn't become a bad one overnight?

Longer he's at clubs the worse he does, usually starts off really well then goes stale when hes had longer to impliment own ideas, transfers etc.

I don't think he's an awful coach, but it's gone stale, he's on 10m a year and he's looked clueless for 12 months now, he has no idea how to get us out of this rot.

As a Leicester fan you're obviously much closer to it than I am but personally I never think things start to shake-out properly in a season until around ten games have been played. On that basis looking to get rid after only three matches seems a bit premature although from the sounds of it you see the start of this season as part of a longer term malaise...

You won't have too many difficulties on the Utd front.

Post-meeting note; looking at Chelsea today, you shouldn't have any issues there, either.

[Leicester Loyal]

He has to go.

That has to be a typo. Surely no one would Rodger’s £10m a year!!!

What has gone wrong at Leicester? A few years ago you seemed to have cracked it, with buying in guys you could sell at a profit and somehow keep improving.

Is it just the end of a cycle that couldn’t last for ever or more deep rooted issues?

[Leicester Loyal]

Yep, he’s on 10m a year. And this is what we’re being served up.

Was never gonna be 5th or 6th every season, but should be doing better than this. Every couple of years we’ll drop off but still should be top 10, not relegation form. Once Rodgers goes I think we’ll be alright but we’ve been stung with the new wages vs. Turnover FFP rules which means we’ve been screwed over suddenly.

The only silver lining I got from yesterday was the way we played in the second half. We just can't finish though.
Something has to change.

West Ham beating Villa means we're bottom.

I think we need new training facilities.

[Flying Phil]

What a start to the new season!
After a strong end to the last season, it is all going wrong and being bottom of the table is our just reward. Considering the weekly wage of many of the team they should be ashamed at their efforts.

I disagree, the only person stealing a living is BR. Imo there will be no major improvement while he remains at the club.

We all know these players are capable of playing better than they are, but they need a coach who actually wants to work with this squad and doesn't keep throwing them all under the bus in front of the media.

But if... "we all know these players are capable of playing better than they are" why blame the coach? They are the ones actually on the pitch.
....and another loss - to Man U, will not have helped.
Still the only way is up - from where we are.....

Rodger’s can’t survive this, can he?

He certainly hopes not....

[Leicester Loyal]

We are shocking.

If he doesn't get sacked this week then I don't see any end for him. If he stays as our manager for much longer we'll be going down, no doubt in my mind.

I can't stand the bloke and I hope it gets toxic if that's what's required to finally get him out.
