Wycombe Royal Rodgers has lost the support of the fans and it looks to me like he has lost the support of the dressing room as well.
Those two things are extremely difficult to fix and not many managers have done so. I really can't see any way back for Rodgers now and we need a manage who can put some belief back into the players and make a team out of this squad.

Considerable success that was achieved over a long period of time....!!! BR has had 4 months in charge and you expect him to pick up where SC left - when virtually the whole of SC squad had been sold before he even arrived at the club!!
NO NO NO. Idiot.
Rodgers is expected to consolidate in lower mid-table. THAT IS PERFECTLY ACHIEVEABLE!!!
He is completely failing in every possible way to manage the team.
Watch who you call an idiot mate!!! No way to speak to a lady!
The chairman is failing BR and the fans!! £3m to spend on a building a new team...Ridiculous!!
I don't know what you are all crying about... last season you were all up for having a shake up in the club and we all knew SJM wasn't going to invest - so please don't tell me you were expecting mid table it was never going to happen!

Ian Royal He hasn't built an entire team and he didn't need to. He needed to bring in a quality striker who can score goals, a quality centreback, a quality winger, a quality midfielder and a quality left back

Is that all?! We could sign the moon on a stick to play in goal aswell.

Big Ern I voted "Yes" but with a heavy heart. He needs at least 20 games before we can really decide if it is him who is truely crap, or whether he accepted a poison challice. I remember Pardew´s first 20 odd games in charge they were not much better to be honest, and then suddenly things seemed to click. Lets hope the same happens for Rodgers.

The whole year inn Watford have lost Smith, Priskin, WIlliamson and Rasiak since Rodgers left
But they have got in a better manager

Royal1983 At the end of the day it is not good seeing what is happening to the club but why can people not see that he has no choice in what he can do at the moment? A new manager would not be able to solve anything until the new transfer window anyway and if Madejski and Hammond don't put cash forward then the team will be the same. The person who should go is Hammond for selling players before Brendan arrived as he is the person who left the team in a mess!

We sold Doyle before Rodgers arrived iirc. Only 1 player.
It's no bloody good waiting for the transfer window to get in a new manager. He needs to come in before that to assess the squad and start initiating changes in readiness for new players.
Do you not think tactical ineptitude, frequent formation changes and a completely unsettled starting 11 might have something to do with our problems? Just a thought.

Ian Royal Murty - passed it and injured
Lita - massive disruptive influence woeful for two years and hardly setting the world alight at M'boro. Oh and refused several contract
Hahnmann - bench warming in the prem - not really worth the wages
Duberry - Wycombe, says it all.
Massive loss that lot.
Obviously you missed the bit about a new manager initiating changes, like in training, tactics and team selection which would certainly improve things.
Please stop with the bullshit claims that people thought this season would be about promotion. ALMOST EVERYONE has been saying it would be about re-building and consolidation in mid - lower mid-table.

Then why are people asking for refunds on their season tickets if they were not expecting promotion or to have stayed in the prem? They weren't brilliant I admit but they were still older/experienced players who could have helped with the youth till December rather than getting rid and dropping the youngsters in the deep end and praying that it went well. Realistically mid-lower table is not looking likely, relegation however is more possible. Something that will not change is that I will support the team and whoever the manager is (as part of the team) no matter what - this was how I was brought up if I wanted to watch/play football. It is heartbreaking seeing the team that I love and support not doing as well as they could but such is football and as a supporter there is nothing that I can do to change this.

Assuming you go with the full back, centreback and winger being achieved that leaves £1.1m + loan money to get a striker and midfielder. Not an unreasonable ask really is it given we've only ever paid £1m for a striker once and done pretty well. The midfielder isn't even that important really.
And of course there's always the £1.8m the club were supposed to have available for Smith which apparently wasn't used for Rasiak & McAnuff, so lets assume it was used for Cummings & Howard and call it £1m left.
That's over £2m available for a decent striker.
