# Leicester: Journalist drops significant Brendan Rodgers update

**[Leicester City](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leicester-city-news/) are set to give Brendan Rodgers more time at the helm to turn results around, according to journalist [Jordan Blackwell](https://twitter.com/JrdnBlackwell?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor).**

### The Lowdown: Under increasing pressure

The Foxes went into the international break at the very bottom of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) after taking just [one](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) point from 21, with this hugely disappointing start piling pressure onto the 49-year-old.

After the 6-2 defeat at the hands of Tottenham, Fabrizio Romano [revealed](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leicester-city-news/rodgers-leicester-future-romano-dyche-frank/) that the hierarchy were set to hold internal discussions regarding his future, but as it stands, he is still very much in charge at the King Power Stadium.

### The Latest: Blackwell’s update

Asked during a [Leicester Mercury](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-rodgers-future-forest-team-7637708#comments-wrapper) Q&A whether Rodgers would be sacked if his side lose to Nottingham Forest on Monday, Blackwell responded:

“The suggestions I have heard from sources are that he will be given a chunk of games, but I think Monday’s game will be significant.

“In the event of a defeat, I suspect the atmosphere will be the worst in recent memory at the King Power Stadium, and I don’t think the hierarchy would ignore that.”

### The Verdict: Time for a change

Rodgers will go down as a hero having given supporters the memories of lifting both the FA and Super Cup [trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brendan-rodgers/erfolge/trainer/1366), but now is the right time for a change in the dugout.

The Northern Irishman hasn’t won a league game with the Foxes since [May](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brendan-rodgers/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/1366/plus/0?saison_id=&verein_id=1003&liga=&wettbewerb_id=&trainer_id=), and if the board don’t make a decision soon, it might end up being too late where the season becomes unsalvageable.

Reports have suggested that it could cost the club [£10m](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11182793/Leicester-boss-Brendan-Rodgers-paid-10million-sacked.html) to part ways with Rodgers, but paying him off is vital if they want to get Leicester back on track again.
