6 months later we can't let go and it needs to be a major topic if discussion every day when we have already discussed it in every way/shape/form for 6 months.
First off I'd like to apologise for initially leaving my post open so that it could be hijacked (like every other thread of late) and then steered into a 'look at me' excercise. That was never my intention and my post, if people had the intelligence to understand was written, was very much on point with the O.P. - i.e. coherence and consistency of approach when "judging" Brendan.
And I would say the mitigating circumstances are even stronger for Rodgers.
And I wouldn't disagree... apart from creating/missing more chances - we don't
seem to be doing that as much but I may be wrong.
It is and it brings me back to my point earlier when I alluded to my doubts that a lot of the die hard preachers of longevity would have the same coherence for Rodgers if he spent a load of money in January and then had a poor second half to the season and we finished 15th.
I can only speak for myself wahs but (in keeping with the 'sentiment' of the O.P.) we could postulate what would happen
if each 'faction' remained consistent in their approach
(If what you've suggested actually were to happen) - let's look at it:
Those, fans, who thought Kenny should have been given another season to rectify any mistakes: - If 'they' were to remain consistent; would afford Brendan the same luxury.
Those, fans, who wanted rid of Kenny 'because the table doesn't lie/he's not the right man for the job': - If 'they' were to remain consistent; would call for Brendan's head.
Those, fans, who, let's just say, "understood" why Kenny was sacked: - If 'they' were to remain consistent; would say how wrong it was but would, naturally enough, just accept that FSG have their reasons for sacking Brendan; remain dispassionate as ever and move on to the next rebuild.
FSG: - would, if
they were to remain consistent, sack Brendan.
So getting back to my earlier reply - I'm all for consistency (but not from FSG
). Oh and I'd be more than happy if all fans
and FSG had a "coherent" approach to the manager: i.e. back and support him.
