More I think about it, more I want Emery, but I think we will go much safer.

I did think it might be Dyche, but I reckon we will bung a few million to Leicester and solve their issue of not being able to sack Brenda.

I’d rather it be Rodgers. He’s been successful. He has hit a sticky patch but he’s created teams that play good football, and have won things.

For where we are at, he'd be a decent appointment in fairness.

Rodgers is a blast from the past. I wanted us to appoint him as manager when we then appointed Lambert.

I’ve nothing against Rogers but it’s a game of momentum and he’s in charge of one of the few sides worse than us

The statement “wouldn’t totally hate Dyche” I think is bang on. I want us to be more ambitious, but the position we're in ... he may be what we need.

I'm just being a realist.

In terms of momentum they’ve started to look a bit more decent and have 4 points from their last two games, whereas we’ve lost our last two and not won in 4.

Paying compensation to a club to take a manager who most of their fans would be happy to pay off to leave doesn't seem like great business sense. Rodgers would be very bland and I want "holy shit he's amazing", thanks.

Yes although if ended up as a choice between Rodgers and Dyche then Rodgers every day of the week.

Forest payed £40m for Morgan Gibbs-White so it sounds like  a bargain to me.

No, I agree. It's ridiclous.

Some bloke on Twitter who has long claimed to be ITK reckons we're making an official approach for Rodgers next week.

At least Rodgers knows Coutinho, I think!  I'd be ok with Rodgers.

Leicester have either sold their best players or let their contracts run down to the extent that the players have one eye on a free transfer.  It’s a tough job at the moment and I’m not surprised Rodgers is struggling.
