You cannot seriously sack Rodgers given the start he made with us. On the 13th December, we were 2nd with 38 points from 16 matches. That was a massive over-achievement and the credit has to go to him for it.
Since then, we have had half a season - 19 matches - and we've taken 21 points (W5 D6 L8). If we'd started the season with that record, he'd have been gone. No question.
BR is on a worse run than Ranieri, Shakespeare or Puel when they got sacked. So it is only his earlier record that means he is secure.
The issue I have is that nobody but nobody has challenged him in interviews or press conferences. The previous three managers got tough questioning about their decisions. There is a blind spot with BR. It's as though they don't think he can be challenged because of the start he made.
What is clear is that the last few months have been inept from BR and the squad. I think the key was the Arsenal link and us panicking and handing him a massive new contract on money that dwarfed all our players. Maybe it wasn't but it's one hell of a coincidence.
It can only happen to Leicester City. The highs and the lows.
I think there's a lot in this.
Which in itself shows up football for the ridiculous unreality that it is.
I mean imagine...your boss gets paid more than you do? What insanity is that?!
No wonder they've got a bottom lip on.
