Rodgers is leaving… To Chelsea?!

Rodgers has been a consistent manager for Leicester in his time so far with us, but once again he is being linked to one of the so called ‘big 6’ clubs.

When we were doing well this time last year, Rodgers was linked with a big move to Arsenal before Arteta got the job, and a lot of fans thought he would go, but he signed a contract extension with Leicester, which meant that he is probably on very good money at Leicester… But once again as struggling side Chelsea are giving Frank Lampard ‘a few more chances’ it might look like they’re looking to part ways with the former Chelsea Legend… and Rodgers is linked with the job!

However, with his Leicester side currently flying high at the top of the table challenging for the title once again, you’d be hard pressed to see him wanting to leave right now.

But he does have connections with Chelsea, having been a youth coach there for many years, and Adrian Durham from TalkSport believes that he would be turned if Chelsea offered him the job right now.

He describes Rodgers as ‘a perfect fit.’

“I’m looking at Brendan Rodgers, and with him being a coach there before, he looks like a perfect fit,” Durham said on Drive.
That’s not me trying to get Frank Lampard out of a job, but Brendan Rodgers is a perfect fit for Chelsea.
When you consider he left Celtic when they were on the brink of a treble-treble, he won’t mind at all.
If someone says to him, ‘This is the salary we’ll offer you, this is the transfer budget, this is the ambition we’ve got’.
That’s where Brendan Rodgers wants to be, in among the elite. Will he achieve that at a sustainable level at Leicester? Possibly, but it’s less likely.”

Do you agree with this quote? We find it it hard to believe that Rodgers would leave us at the moment…

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say about Rodgers leaving Leicester…
“It would be his loss if he decided to leave now. Yes, im sure it would be a lot of managers dreams to manage the ‘top six’ in the Premier League, but Rodgers has already had a run in with Liverpool, and it didn’t quite work out there for him. For me he has managed to control Leicester at ridiculously high standards, and it shows as we are fighting for top spot, so i can see why clubs would want him, but expectations change at different clubs. He will have a bit more of everything at Chelsea if he left, yes, but the standards change, they would want to win week in week out and if they don’t get a top 5 spot it is usually considered a below average season for them, so its high pressure for Chelsea…
We are in a good spot at the moment, still in the FA Cup, we won the Europa League group stage, fighting for a top spot in the Premier League, it’s all going right at the moment for us, so would he leave? For me it’s Rodger’s loss if he leaves, but i have loads of faith that he will stay and want to be part of this story we are creating at Leicester!”
