Football contracts make no sense at all do they?

Don't know about the manager issues but there's a couple on there that would get in the starting 11 at Leicester

One thing that crossed my mind is how keen BR will be to turn this around.
I get the impression the likes of Mourinho are quite happy to be sacked and take the pay off. He's knows the peak of his career has already been and gone, so he's just a slightly improved version of Sven now.
Rodgers isn't in that position. If we sacked him, realistically he may never get another shot at one of the really big teams.
This should be Rodger's season. He's had the time to build the squad, won something and got two successive European campaigns. Were he to have a good season this year, by which I mean either win the FA cup again, Europa League or finish in the top 4 - his stock would be sky high and he could probably get the United job or maybe even Man City with a fair wind.
But if we sack him, where's he going to rebuild his reputation? Everton are not going to appoint another ex-Liverpool manager. Spurs have Conte for the foreseeable. Even Newcastle, which I think would be the most likely destination, will probably be in the Championship.
So if his goal is to get one of those big clubs, getting sacked here is going to set him back 2-4 years at least and in my opinion, it'll be his chance gone.
So I imagine he'll be properly desperate to turn this around - problem is, in my opinion he's lost it. As soon as you start criticising the fans, you're on a hiding to nothing. Looks like he's lost the dressing room too. Most criminally of all, we're playing a style of football that doesn't suit our squad and we're playing it at a pace that is mind numbingly boring to watch.
We're in the same position Villa were a few weeks ago with Dean Smith. They've gone on to win 3 out of their next 4. Sometimes it just goes stale with a manager.

And it was an absolute mystery how we didn’t concede a few against Wolves on the opening day.

I wish I sat close enough to BR to do this:

Not sure how much more of this I can take. It's getting closer.

I’m not even sure if I care about a win now. His one and only focus now should be a clean sheet at all ****ing costs.

No, it's now about what he's doing now. He was in charge in the cup final so deserves more time, and then more, and then more.

Have any of these points gotten even remotely better over the past month?
The answer is no. Get rid.

Getting worse, not better. We see no signs of improvement in areas that are plain for all to see.
Losing any remaining faith with each match.
