What a difference he has made since returning to the team. In two games he has already showed the quality, aggression and commitment to defend that our backline has lacked for so long this season.
He is, quite rightly, making Rodgers look like the utter fraud he is. What an absolute disgrace that our best defender couldn't get a look in all season, all because of the fragile masculinity of the toxic clown and his inability to admit that he was wrong. Thank god we finally got rid of him and have now given ourselves half a shot at survival before it was too late.
You can also make the case for Iversen and the difference he has made. The fact that Rodgers kept his teachers pets of Ward and Amartey in the team ahead of Iversen and Soyuncu is a testament to his shambolic mismanagement.
Also, fair play to Dean Smith and his team for reinvigorating the group and giving us fresh hope. He has made some bold decisions - some of which haven't worked - and it's so refreshing to have a manager who is honest with fans and who actually seems up for the fight and wants to be here. The process of hiring him was a dysfunctional shambles, but we got there in the end, and we seem to have landed on the best option that was available to us.
Follow today up with 3 points at Elland Road and even this most pessimistic of Foxes will start believing again.
Soyuncu

How would Leicester fans feel if Leeds sack Gracia tomorrow or Monday and announce Brendon Rogers as our new boss?
I think Leeds fans would mostly feel really hopeful and encouraged but as you have experienced his methods and seen disappointing results I suppose you don't miss him but I think he might just have gone a bit stale and a new fresh challenge would reinvigorate him and his new team will benefit.

Brendan Rodgers is completely ill equipped for a relegation fight. To be fair to him, he's never had to deal with one before but he's shown with us that he's just not up for it or able to deal with it.
After every defeat he looked completely lost and just kept repeating, we'll be fine, we'll be fine. Even though it was glaringly obvious we were not fine and were not going to be.
If you're pinning your hopes on Rodgers keeping you up, you may as well accept relegation now.
That said, I cannot see Rodgers going to a club like Leeds. He's an elite manager don't you know and he's probably sitting by his phone right now waiting for the call from Spurs or Chelsea.

To be fair Soyuncu was awful this season when he played.

That's because he had Daniel Amartey playing next to him and I'm a better footballer than he is.

From a Leicester perspective, I wouldn't really be fussed. I don't think changing a manager again would give you that much of a boost, as the issues with your defence can't be fixed with only a few matches remaining.
From a more general perspective, I genuinely wouldn't wish Rodgers, his planet sized ego and his coach load of sycophants on anyone. The way he wrecked the ethics and morale of the club this season has been one of the most disgraceful acts of self-sabotage I have witnessed. Any success a club may have under him would be short-lived and then destroyed by him. He was a toxic influence on the club and, whatever happens to us in the last few weeks, I am just so delighted and relieved that I never have to care about what he does or says ever again.
That said, him and Spurs feels like an absolute match made in heaven.

Interesting to hear your perspective and I now understand why you guys weren't too upset when he left and I think the Leeds job like you say wouldn't probably interest Rogers unless we are taken over by new owners with very deep pockets.
I think Hassenhutl is a more realistic option and he is being mentioned on twitter land as a short term desperate last attempt by Leeds to somehow get a tune out of our players...we will see.
You definitely dodged a bullet not getting our ex Marsch to take over from Rogers as he would have almost certainly got you relegated and Smith seems a safe and competent pair of hands.

Yes I think Spurs too but I'm shocked at how badly he is thought of by you guys... it just shows how different and wrong a neutral fan can see things.

I actually rate Hassenhuttl as a manager and coach but I’m not sure he’s a short term fix it manager. He has a style of play and if your players aren’t suited to it it will take time to implement.
As for Rodgers, I wouldn’t wish his disgusting ego and ability to convince all around him that he is the god of all coach gods and that all should love him, including the media, is vomit inducing.
His arrogance and inability to adapt his style to get the best out of the players in front of him make him so restricted as a coach, and his ego makes him extremely dislikeable as a human.
He also has terrible lips.
I’m also glad I’ll never se whom near our club Al ever again. He destroyed what could have been a good leg Andy with our club through pure arrogance.

Nothing wrong with Dean Smith, did a very good job a Villa and will imo keep Leicester up.
Good run of fixtures coming with so this win will be a massive boost. 2 wins and a draw should be enough.
