Have you read the opening post links? I'm not saying they'll make you excited, but they may stop your cynicism.

As Tommy says, they made me a little excited, not as much as if Rafa came back, much more so than Martinez... Scared, going into the unknown, apprehensive, excited. That's how I feel.

Some people just don't get it. We need a manager who will lead us eventually to the premier league title, not just top 4. Rodgers might lead us back to the champions league i'll give him that but to winning the title ? i just don't see it.

Sorry if it came across as patronising. But I got excited by him from reading the OPs and researching him myself. I would advise anyone who is still indifferent to do the same.

Normally not, no. I'm sure most people on here will tell you that!

It's just his philosophies and the way he speaks about the game that excite me. Maybe its just that he's not martinez...

Well, we are either catching a wave or drowning, there was a feeling for me that with Martinez that the choice was either being becalmed or drowning. My preference was another wave  but it was not to be and as said I'm a NAFC about what the true situation is. I think many people are just worn down now and want to move on but want to be excited in some way, even if expectations have been well and truly mashed. Once you realise you can't have what you want you have deal with the reality or leave the table.

Right?

I don't think it's a certainty but it's been said and seems likely.

June 1st is when Warrior take over, the new kit is in the shops, probably a new manager, maybe a new technical director. FSG have arrived.

I'm going to get into the stadium forum.

PS. I'm getting quite a few thanks for starting this thread and the info I posted. I haven't read the whole thread but the thank yous I see, I'm very grateful for.  :thumbup
