Rodgers and his sympathisers moaned at the time that he was starting to turn the corner when he was sacked, but in his last 4 games we recorded just 4 points and the last couple of games under his tenure comprised of a staggering 1-1 home draw against relegation favourites Scunthorpe in a game we entirely dominated and just a few days before that a quite horrific capitulation against a struggling Palace side.
Hi Snowball. Why pick four or even two games? So BR he put out a team that entirely dominated "relegation candidates" Scunthorpe (they didn't get relegated btw). What's wrong with that? It was an easy three points if golden boy Sigurdsson hadn't played like an absolute drain and spaffed away chances that even a hungover Wax Jacket would've buried. Rodgers' last 7 games were clearly better than the first 7 or the second 7 but with the egos already at the club, well, there just wasn't room for another one.
Yeah he talked absolute shit but the sacking was short-termist (comparing him to Leicester? - their incessant managerial changes have consigned them to endless yo-yoing) and the relatively decent performance of Brian McDermott is a purely serendipitous disovery on the part of RFC.
At the end of the day some fans just had it in for him from the beginning and were glad it didn't work out sio they could come on HobNob and make hilarious quips about the size of his watch.
