Managers rarely resign as they wait for the pay off that comes with the bullet. Look at Rodgers, he had Liverpool in a far worse position and still clung on until all but the most deluded and moronic of Dippers knew that it was time for him to go.
It's certainly not unusual, it's just I remember hearing Van Gaal was extraordinarily principled and would be willing to walk away
Most managers don't publicly announce the opposite though http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...-as-soon-as-Im-not-wanted-by-the-players.html
Nonsense. http://www.skysports.com/football/n...dgers-apologises-after-6-1-hammering-at-stoke He didn't resign though, despite doing an even worse job than LVG, he waited to be sacked as it was worth several million to him.
Rodgers said if he was asked by the owners. They didn't ask, they backed him. Van Gaal said if the players don't want him. They have voted that they don't want him.
There's a typo in there, Astro, they sacked him not backed him. "Yes, absolutely. I've always said that if the owners want me to go, then I go. It's as simple as that." - nothing says we want you to go more than getting the sack! I'm sure he was given the option to leave gracefully but, understandably, he waited for the sack and took the cash. A wise move given Liverpool will be the only club in his career to pay him a monster salary to achieve nothing! Of course having worked out what his pay off would be he changed course and said he'd never quit Anfield. How unlike Rodgers to be so confused! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...Anfield-I-want-to-stay-here-for-20-years.html I must have missed that, was it on one of those petition.com things?
Looks like you miss a lot of things. You missed the part between the Stoke loss and him being sacked where the owners gave him new staff and tens of millions of pounds of new players. And you missed the senior Man Utd fans telling Woodward they don't want Van Gaal.
Exactly. Sacked. He didn't resign. He was sacked. Fakht. I know it broke your heart but it happened! By the way, where are the links to the quotes from the United players saying they wanted the manager sacked? I'd like to read those. Cheers pal.
Nope, I want the bloke gone. I certainly wouldn't make a tit of myself by calling everyone who wants him sacked a moron and slagging off the proposed next manager. That's your speciality Astro and the reason why you don't even have any credibility on the Dipper board!
It was funny listening to Rodgers. "I've always said that if the owners want me to go, then I go." What else are you going to do? Refuse and set up camp in the centre circle? Yeh Brendan usually when you get sacked you have to leave... it's not magnanamous to say that as if you have a choice He was a perfect example of a bullsh1tter. That moronic quote was symptomatic of most of the sychphantic drivel he used to come out with. And in the end it turned off most liverpool fans... well those who werent deluded anyway.
