Rodgers two games away from sack after Leicester fall-out
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is apparently two games away from receiving the sack following a reported fall-out on Filbert Way.
If Thursday morning speculation is to be believed, Rodgers could be fired after only a match or two if he fails to win or loses both clashes. To be honest, my prediction is that the Northern Irishman shall possibly depart should three defeats transpire. In other words, if an overall aggregate betters him and the team in the Europa Conference League.
You see, the Foxes meet lowly Danish side Randers on February 17 at home in the first leg. Then Leicester travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 20th of the same month in the Premier League. A Midlands derby could also undo much quality groundwork laid by Rodgers in his three-year tenure.
Subsequent to those couple of encounters, elimination in the return away leg versus the Horses of Denmark may perhaps ultimately see Rodgers’ time up on Filbert Way. Though according to Football Insider, the Wolves contest could be the one that seals the former Liverpool boss’s fate:
"A Leicester source has told Football Insider that Rodgers could be dismissed if his team lose at seventh-placed Wolves on Sunday.He is believed to have fallen out with longstanding Foxes director of football Jon Rudkin, with the club’s recruitment a particular bone of contention.The source explained that Rodgers may even have been sacked had Leicester lost at home to West Ham last weekend."
