If Brendan has any self respect he should walk away and throw the board under the bus with a resignation statement. I would have nothing but respect for him if he did so. Other than money why else would he stay now.
This window has been so bad and we are in that much of a mess i can't do anything but laugh now. Its that embarrassing.
A player that was playing in the league of Ireland last season, a £500k project from japan and a youngster that's never played a senior game are our only recognized strikers. I just can't comprehend how the board think they can get away with it.
I hope we can't sign that ihanacho as he's a donkey. It will only infuriate us more
If that other mob sacks that clown martin before they fall any further behind i think the title will be theirs.

We are owed an explanation from the board. Brendan should direct the transfer questions to them. He can't keep taking the brunt of their failures.

Man, just typed a long reply and it crashed so can't be bothered retyping. Short version I agree to some extent. I'd be fine with him walking if he's been let down too. But he's also partly responsible for the downturn in performance (not all his fault - players need to do it on the park) . On flip side he's brought loads of trophies in last couple years and hopefully just short term dip. Where I feel sorry for him is the fire-sale of players with no replacements, which is on the board. He should be doing better with the players he has, but he does need upgrades.

We have signed 10 players this window! We have the 2 new wingers and the back up LB that everyone wanted. It looks like Maeda is going to be playing through the middle. Who's the player that was playing in the League of Ireland? Sevco winning the league? c'mon they need to win a game first! People new to realise that unless BR changes his tactics and style then it will just be new faces playing the ball from side to side and backwards!

Bhoy88 you must be having a laugh. If so, we'll played. Signed 10 players? Doesn't matter how many we've signed. Compare the squad to the last few years. Are these players an upgrade? Are we stronger than last year? Or the year before? Over the last couple of years we've been flogging our best players and replacing them with cut-price additions thay may or may not play on any given weekend. We're an utter joke. We're morphing into them.

Bhoy88 kenny is the league of ireland player. Yes maeda will likely move to the centre which makes it even worse. he's rank thru the middle as we saw at the weekend. Yes we have signed 10 players this window and will be lucky if 1 turns out a success.
We have brought 10 players is and spent about £10m
Have you ever heard of "quantity of quality"? This is a perfect example.
If you are happy with that board then you need to give your head a shake.
02 Sep 2025 06:01:55
Time will tell if the likes of Nygren, Balikwisha, Tounetki, KT, Shin, Inamura etc are upgrades. Is it quantity over quality? Inamura for example isn't bloating the squad with quantity as he's quality. I'd rather have quality over quantity!
I agree that Ange's squads were far stronger than BR's squads and had far more quality and attacking threat.

Bhoy 88, I'll start with Kenny, he's the lad that was playing in tehe league of Ireland last season with shanrock rovers. we signed a LB that not everyone wanted, just ask ED im sure you've read his opinion on that one. we've signed 10 players, how many will actually be involved with the first team? We sold how many and recouped how much yet spent buttons. we were told on Saturday that idah couldn't leave till a striker or 2 came in, did idah go? Did we sign 1 or 2 strikers? This squad is so far off being fine it's unreal, im guessing you've totally blocked out anything rodgers has had to say on recruitment this summer? As for rodgers wether he's everyone's cup of tea or not, that's another debate, bottom line here is we've a board completely out their depth when it comes to recruitment and timing of it. a scouting system that clearly isn't up to scratch, and a manager that's done everything to bring this to the fore and the powers that be have totally blanked it. hell mend that board now.
02 Sep 2025 06:44:06
Its a poor state of affairs, but let's see the manager work his magic as he repeatedly tells us he develops players so let's see if he can rather than waste our cash on the gash he wanted last year.
02 Sep 2025 07:27:28
I don't know if this is true but I am sure I read somewhere that Rodgers is telling the wingers to keep possession of the ball and to pass it backawards rather than take a man on .

Surely this window past with only 10 players signed, would have been a lot better if BR didn’t. have final say on signings. BR is the man responsible for us having many glaring holes in our team. He spent almost £30m on 5 players and none of them were sure first team this season . it will be interesting how this window finishes up and we need to give players about 6 mths to prove a decent level of consistency.
It shouldn’t be all gloom and doom because we have signed KT, Nygren Balikwisha, Yamada, Tounekti, Pusey, Saracchi and hopefully Ideacacho .
If BR and his coaches forgets trying to make the job more difficult for Board, by attempting to stir up fan hatred against Board, I am sure with these signing ( obvIously not as good as hoped for ) if BR and coaches work hard at coaching and developing them we will do reasonably well in Europe and continue our superiority in Domestic football.
We too can do our bit by building a happy aura around the club . Over the past number of weeks there was a terrible split with supporters on their annual
“Sack the Board calling . How could we win the first leg of play off with the frequent chanting of sacking the Board.
Surely it wouldn’t be beyond the ingenuity of fans to stay on after the game is over before having future protests . We shouldn’t make team suffer lack of encouragement and confidence building during games.
If fans have an interest in getting rid of Board or sacking it, they would need to try something different, all they are doing with chant is making a fool of themselves.

We have also seen BR work his vanity which includes not attempting to coach and develop players that he hadn’t personally signed off . We seen him sending away a player Inamura, that very many fans thought highly off for the same vanity reasons.
We also see the lack of value the players he signed off last season for exceptional money in Scotland . If the loss of one of them, Idah who has regressed at an alarming rate causes us to lose league, I can only say we would have lost it with Idah . Winning SPL as usual won’t be a problem if fans do their job support team and if BR even tries to do his.

Well Idah was a Norwich reserve player the year before he came here, and you all think he is the bees knees, Kenny is a much better striker than Idah, and he will prove it, if he is given a chance.
