what a step down

I'm an Arsenal fan and I don't see why you'd make the move.

In terms of the stature and ceilings of the clubs then I think it could be tempting, but you'd be moving from arguably the best owners in the league to arguable the worst, which is a huge deal.

Depends on how ambitious Leicester are. If he feels they can match his ambitions then by all means moving to Arsenal would be illogical.

But there's no question that the scope is their for Arsenal to fulfill his ambitions, even if the starting point would be further back than he is now.

There certainly are questions. Most obviously what are his ambitions? If it’s competing for the biggest trophies then Arsenal can’t fulfil that ambition.

Rodgers is in a pretty comfy position right now. But he’s rebuilt his reputation, and he could probably look jobs like City, United and Chelsea in the coming years as ones he might be in the running for.

Literally no pressure at Leicester and Brendan just seems a really good fit there.

They have big plans so I see no reason to go to the poorly administered Arsenal where he’d have to start from scratch again.

Liverpool were a mess when Brenda went there and they were a banter slip away from winning the league. Admittedly he left a mess behind but maybe he thinks he can do something similar with Arsenal, and obviously he’d double or triple his salary. He could also think that he’s taken Leicester as far as he can.

I think he’d be an idiot to leave Leicester for Arsenal tho

They had Luis Suarez as well. I wouldn’t completely rule it out because of his ego, but that same ego probably thinks he can get an even better job at one of the top four teams. And to be honest, I don’t think it’s that unreasonable either.

Pep only has a couple of years on his contract. Tuchel only has a couple pf years before he’s sacked. Ole may get replaced if we can’t kick on any further.

I’d be sitting tight if I were him.

Tbf we played some great football under Brendan

Come on. It’s 2021. Going from Leicester to Arsenal is so obviously a step down.

This, basically. I’d imagine he has a longer-term eye on Man Utd or Chelsea, and that he’d be better off staying put and trying to win another trophy (Europa League?) or even a surprise disruption of the top 4 rather than taking on what could be a losing situation at Arsenal or Spurs that could genuinely hurt his chances of stepping up further.

Of course, you never know. But from the outside Arsenal need at least one rebuilding manager before they can get a glory deliverer. And Rodgers will want to be the latter.

I think the off putting thing for some of these clubs will be Rodgers’ record in Europe, it’s really poor. But he’s got an opportunity with Leicester to try and put that right, especially this season where you’d make them one of the favourites, on paper at least.

If Leicester are going to properly replace Vardy next year he should stay

I doubt Rodgers would take on Arsenal.

Heavily in debt, run seemingly by clowns, bang average players from front to back and already earns twice as much as Arteta.

Rodgers is the joint third highest paid manager in the league now Mourinho and Ancelotti have left.

To be fair, it’s worth it for Leicester. It’ll have more than paid for itself just by qualifying for Europe.

Yeah I am not sure it is obvious he'd double or triple his salary as stated above because he's on a whopping £10,000,000 a year now I think.

Yeah that’s right. Only Klopp (£15m) and Pep (£20m) earn more.

Which means Arsenal would need to pay off the remaining £40m on his contract to Leicester, and offer him a pay increase, as well as paying off £10m to Arteta.

Barca is his dream job I reckon. I remember him whoring himself to the Spanish media when he managed us.

Does speak Spanishn fluently tbf and I'd rather bet on that than him going to Arsenal who are in real danger of becoming a bonafide midtable club.

Problem with that is he didn’t play for Barca. Xavi will be their next manager I reckon.

Yep, be great to see some British managers go abroad though but when you look at the salaries here I doubt there will be many.

Plus I doubt many speak another language.

Yeah we're pretty ignorant

Maybe that's changing though. Your new coach speaks a few languages I believe.

But for everyone of those there is a Barton or McLaren.

Here is David Moyes speaking Spanish.

Classic.

Was reminded today that no English manager has ever won the PL.

You have to go back to Howard Wilkinson to find an English manager who topped the league.

Yes, so think this is spot on. I think Chelsea is the job Rodgers wants, but I don’t think they want him. But the first Utd, Man City, Chelsea or Liverpool that come calling and he’ll be gone.

Arsenal though, amazingly I don’t think they’ve got a chance. Which is incredible to think how far our club has come!!!
