Darren Bent claims Brendan Rodgers wants to be sacked
Analysing those comments,
talkSPORT pundit Bent reckons Rodgers wants the Foxes board to call time on his reign.
“They’re in a bit of a mess,”
he said. “The comments that the manager has made, ‘this isn’t a club it was a couple of years ago’, that just tells me that wants to be sacked. He doesn’t want to walk away from it because he’ll lose a lot of money.
“He wants to get sacked. You look at the comments Scott Parker made at Bournemouth about needing help and bodies, he kept coming out challenging the board. It’s almost as though saying to everybody else, ‘it’s not my fault, it’s their fault’.
“Even if you continue with the comments that Brendan Rodgers made, ‘we needed help and we haven’t been able to do that’. He understands the fans frustrations, they see all their rivals getting all these players and he’s not getting any. It’s quite clearly saying, ‘it’s not my fault, I wanted the players, but we’re not getting the players in’.
“I’m a big fan of his, but I do think that it has become a bit stale and I definitely think he doesn’t want to walk away, but him himself, he’s asking politely, ‘I want the sack’.”
