I see that he has apparently deactivated his Twitter account today after fans were resharing his now ill-fated "we'll be fine" tweet from a few weeks ago. He also apparently had a run-in with some fans in the ground and told a few to go away, or words to that effect.
He's clearly a good player - our best player this season by a country mile. But his complacency in assuming that we'd be fine was the clincher for me in thinking that Rodgers' attitude had rubbed off on the players. They have a weak mentality and aren't up for the fight that a relegation battle entails. That tweet was a perfect encapsulation of how the club has sleepwalked towards relegation.
From Top to bottom, the complacency that started from pre-season has killed us. You can't take a gap year in the Premier League. You can't take a year off from investing in the squad or delaying hard decisions because "we'll be fine".
Relegation has to be the reset to get this club fighting again. Seagrave has become an almighty albatross that has made the players think they're better than they are. Close down the unnecessary facilities next season and keep to the basics. I just hope we have a squad with the hunger and desire needed, because next season will be tough.

Problems start at the back. How anyone thought it was a good idea to get rid of Kasper and replace him with that liability in Danny Ward.

Ironically, we already had a Kasper replacement (of sorts) at the club. His name is Daniel Iversen, and he's been fantastic since coming into the side. Rodgers decided that our No.2 for 4 seasons - who had done nothing to suggest he was a capable No.1 - should get the shirt. It was a disastrous decision.
In Iversen, at least we'll have the best goalkeeper in the Championship next season.

Harry Kane was a better goalkeeper than Danny Ward

Unfortunately I find it difficult to disagree with anything Foxello said. Perhaps I can't see the point in closing down anything at Seagrave, might as well make use of what will be the finest training facilities in the Championship. Given that, bar some unlikely miracle happening, we are effectively down following yesterday's debacle.
Maddison's remarks were stupid, but he doesn't deserve to be pilloried on Twitter, he's been our best performer by a country mile this season. If we weren't in such a bad position, his brainfart yesterday might not have been punished so severely, ditto N'didi and KDH on Tuesday. We could easily have another couple of points and matters would not look quite as dire.
Of course one of the worst outcomes from him giving away the goal is the hit to his confidence, he looked absolutely shattered by it. Possibly realising now how dumb he was making himself a hostage to fortune by his comments.
I think I'll change my usual to for the rest of the season, I'm feeling so depressed.

"Perhaps I can't see the point in closing down anything at Seagrave, might as well make use of what will be the finest training facilities in the Championship."
I have seen lots of comment from people like Rob Tanner saying how the move to Seagrave has had a detrimental effect on team morale, reduced their hunger and the sheer vastness of the place has made cliques form easier. It's clearly a fantastic facility but we have not utilised it or implemented the move anywhere near good enough and it seems to have made the players think they are better than they are - which feeds back into the "we'll be fine" sentiment.
Some of the luxurious facilities are complete overkill in the Championship. Absolutely no need for all that space and a 9 hole golf club. IMO we should shut down the unnecessary parts of Seagrave and just keep to the basic and essential areas, like sports science. The rest can be made available again if/when we get promoted - maybe the extra incentive will give those who are left and those who join in the summer an extra bonus to play for.
