Who the hell would takeover as caretaker if he did get sacked this week? Not like Dillon or Downes can 'step in'.

I assume it will be Hammond.

Sebastian It's 50/50 in my view whether or not he'll actually survive as long as Leicester.


Yes a wave of negativity may just force him out now. Sad and yet happy to see it.

This is just not on.

So he can finish off what he started and completely destroy the club! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I understand Wally Downes told BBCRB that Hammond & Mad Jet Ski got shot of him and Dillon because they 'wanted a change of direction' and finished with the knock out punch of 'They've certainly got that'! :lol: :lol:

God I miss Downes and Dillon, we genuinly do feel like a plastic club now, at least Coppell, Dillon and then later Downes gave us some feeling of 'history' all be it only a couple of years

Unless Leicester really hammer us, I think he's got until the Ipswich match. Lose that, to a relegation rival, and I can't see how he can stay.


I really wanted him to do well, being Reading through and through, but he's been an unmitigated disaster. Things now appear to have reached that "comically bad" level. When the crowd gets its joy from losing, and the players stop looking like they want to play any more, it is pretty much terminal.

I think he is now officially on borrowed time and therefore it is any time now. I actually think he will walk if we lose the next two matches; providing the Club don't act first.

Bring on a manager with the balls to point out what a f@ck up JM is making of Club management and tell the anal-seepage NH to bugger-off.

-1 game by my reckoning. QPR was the final straw for me.

1 remaining for me. Takes us to the magic 15 and will be the real sign as to whether he can build on a promising performance by a relatively sensible 11, or whether he'll make a load more changes and fail.

I firmly believe we're in as bad a state as we are because of poor managment by Rodgers, but I just saw enough to give me a glimpse of hope for the rest of the season. Something I'd not seen before.

The problem is it's JM and NH who choose the managers.

So is it any surprise we go for gutless yes-men?

It's hopefully not an act of rocket science to understand that I mean is it's not exactly likely JM and NH will bring someone in who will have a go at JM and tell NH to f*ck off! :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol:

I still reckon he has at least 5 more games left, maybe as many as 10. Madejski is not a hire and fire type of Chairman.

5 more servings of Brenda's Best could see us mired in the relegation zone. 10 would almost guarantee us the drop. I think that you are right ref JM, so I am setting my satnav up for St Mary's. Sadly, I remember where the County Ground is.

I never thought I would find myself saying this but Rodgers deserves at least one more game. For the first time in ages I saw (very) encouraging signs including, most of all, commitment/effort/desire. Rodgers is right, if we play like that every game, we'll win more than we lose (assuming our luck turns e.g. shot goes 6" inside the post rather than 6" outside, etc). I was also impressed with the way he conducted himself. However, if we revert to form at Coventry (shambles, no desire, etc) then he's got to go, and I think he will (courtesy of Madejski).

As far as I'm concerned we have to see a home win against Blackpool and a good performance at Coventry - at the very least.

Agreed - last night was definitely an improvement - so we need more of the same in the next 2 games - anything other than a win against Ipswich should see BR go though imo. As for his comments that "we won't get relegated" - how bloody stupid do you have to be??? It's reminiscent of "We Won't Be Next" on the scoreboard before the games in our second season in the Prem, and we all know what happened there. :evil: I'd be more than happy for BR to have a media blackout and not talk to them for the next few weeks tbh, as all he does is say "you know" and try and tell us that he's taken a lot of positives and we're just lacking in the final third of the pitch - we're not m8. Please do your talking via the players on the pitch - please get them to practice set pieces until they're doing them in their sleep, please get them to know backwards where they should be positioned when the opposition have a set piece. THEN we might see some improvement and if there are any plaudits to take, you can take them.

This isn't from my usual reliable sopurces, so don't quote me, but apparently there was an emergency meeting held last night. Rodgers seen leaving the ground afterwards looking very drawn and lost. But don't quote me this time!

He can't have been sacked - we'd have heard by now.

I hope he was told to STFU and just get on with MANAGING the team.

I didn't say he'd been sacked.
