when Rodgers called out ownership a couple of weeks ago about not investing into the squad, it might have cost him internally, but he was absolutely spot on. This was a really good squad three years ago, but they failed to build on it. They made a #### ton of money when they sold Maguire, Chilwell and now Fofana, but their incoming transfers have been mediocre at best. Some players have regressed (like Tielemans), others got old (like Vardy) and most of the new signings haven't had a huge impact. It's just not that good of a squad anymore and Rodgers is certainly not the great manager that some media outlets claimed he was.
He hasn't been sacked yet, but the media has already started to name possible replacements. Thomas Frank has been named, but I don't see how or why he would go there right now. If he stays at Brentford until the summer, he'll surely have better offers then.
