If I’m being magnanimous, Brendan made no secret of the fact that he wanted to return to the English Premier League. When he was here, he won everything available to him domestically and proved that you can please all of the people all of the time. We want managers to be ambitious, honest and successful and that’s what we got.
It rankles that his timing was so poor, a day before we visit Tynecastle on league duty and five days before we visit Easter Road in the Cup. Brendan saw little compensation in Moussa Dembele’s success here, or ambition, when he engineered his exit at a bad time for the manager, the same is true now. Celtic knew nothing of this before yesterday and have a major job on their hands to ensure the quest for the treble treble remains on course.
Neil Lennon is likely to be announced as interim manager. We are fortunate to have as an experienced hand available. If anyone knows how to take a Celtic team to Edinburgh, it’s Neil. Plans for next season will continue in the background, but Neil will be asked to deliver the treble and nothing will be allowed to distract him or the players from that objective.
I have heard from a few CQN’ers who are surprised today, but we should know better. This is football, managers and players are highly paid professionals, all the badge thumping in the world does not change that. Exceptions are rare.
Best of luck to you, Brendan, and thanks for the trebles. You could have held out for better than Leicester, but there’s every chance you’ll keep them in the division for many years.

Leicester city statement
– Leicester City appoint Brendan Rodgers as First Team Manager
– The 46-year-old signs a contract with the Football Club to June 2022
– Rodgers joins from Celtic, where he won seven domestic trophies in two and a half seasons
– The former Liverpool and Swansea City manager will watch Tuesday’s visit of Brighton from the stands
Brendan, 46, has signed a deal with the Foxes to June 2022 and will be at King Power Stadium for Tuesday night’s Premier League visit of Brighton & Hove Albion. He will take charge of the squad for the first time ahead of Sunday’s trip to Watford.
Joining the Club’s established team of First Team staff will be Assistant Manager, Chris Davies; First Team Fitness Coach, Glen Driscoll; and First Team Coach, Kolo Touré.
Rodgers joins the Foxes after two and a half seasons with Scottish champions Celtic, during which time he guided the Parkhead club to an impressive seven domestic trophies – including two Scottish Premiership titles.
The Northern Irishman arrives at King Power Stadium with an impressive reputation on both sides of the border, having also taken charge of Liverpool, Swansea City, Reading and Watford during his managerial career.
New Leicester City First Team Manager Brendan Rodgers said: “I’m very privileged and honoured to be here as Leicester City manager and I’ll give my life to make the supporters proud of their club.
“Together, we’ll be stronger and I’m looking forward to working with the players, staff and supporters to make the right steps forward.”
Leicester City Vice Chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to bring a manager of Brendan’s calibre to Leicester City and I look forward to seeing what he, our talented, young squad and our dedicated, skilled team of staff can achieve together.
“As projects, including the development of our new training ground and the proposed expansion of King Power Stadium continue to take shape, and as a young squad of great potential begins to mature, Brendan and his colleagues arrive at an exciting time for Leicester City. We’re continuing to grow as a Club and I am anticipating that Brendan’s coaching methods, knowledge and experience can enhance our journey.”
Rodgers brings with him a wealth of experience at the top level, having taken charge of well over 150 Premier League matches during his time with both Swansea City and Liverpool, as well as numerous European campaigns.
His managerial career began at Watford in 2008 after a number of years coaching in the academies of Reading and Chelsea. He successfully steered the Championship side away from relegation in his first season before a spell with former side Reading in the following campaign.
Brendan then embarked upon a highly successful spell as manager of then-Championship side Swansea City. He succeeded Paulo Sousa in the role as he built a side whose eye-catching playing style helped guide them to Premier League promotion in 2011 with a 4-2 win over former team Reading in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley.
The Swans won widespread plaudits for an impressive first season under Rodgers in the Premier League in 2011/12, where their stylish displays helped them to an 11th-placed finish. Such performances, particularly against the big teams, earned Rodgers a move to Liverpool in the summer of 2012.
Brendan again put together an exciting team at Anfield, and after a seventh-place finish in his first season, an incredible late run of form saw the Reds finish just two points behind champions Manchester City in 2013/14.
After a further 18 months at Anfield, Rodgers was appointed as manager of Celtic in May 2016, leading the team to a domestic treble in his first season at the helm. Celtic would also end the season unbeaten in all domestic competitions – the first Scottish side to do so in the league since the 19th century.
The following campaign saw Rodgers’ Celtic set a new British record of 69 domestic games without defeat, while also completing an impressive ‘double treble’ by winning the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup once again.
This term, Celtic once again find themselves at the top of the Scottish Premiership table and have already lifted the Scottish League Cup with a 1-0 win over Aberdeen in December – Rodgers’ seventh trophy in just two and a half seasons in Scotland.

Blaming the board,blaming PL is just a sad excuse.
PL never walked out on us.
=====
PL leave Celtic when he is paid more than the majority of EPL CEO’s already, why would he want to?
Wow.
Rodgers has made me feel the same way I felt the day Mo Johnston stabbed Big Billy and the support in the back and signed for the dead club, that is how I feel and I am sure I won’t be alone in feeling like that, take your smile and your work and shove it right up your jacksie. I hope you enjoy your salary and the ambition and the grandiosed title of working in the best league in the world. I won’t be giving you a second thought or be interested in how hard it was for you to make this decision, because it is in my mind fake.
Sick-inducing statement from Celtic re Rodgers’ departure – corporate bullshit of the highest order from all parties quoted.
Patronising utter pish.
Maybe in Lenny we will have a manager to call out the cheating from the refereeing fraternity and Scottish football in general.
D. :)
Mo Mo super mo…. that song appeared in my head
Welcome home Neil Francis Lennon
Superb appointment and very lucky to have you en board.
We’ve replaced yesterdays man with the day befores man, a battler, a winner, and
the perfect man to follow the Celtic supporter, who’d never even seen Hampden
Looking forward to watching Celtic with you back in the dug out you’ve started ten in a row,
and now you have the chance to finish it.
Hail Hail
Well we’ve been through the 7 stages of grief and 40 shades of green opinion in the course of the last 16 or so hours. There’s been some excellent analysis and some heated emotion as the heart wars with the head in trying to understand all of this.
Brendan is ambitious- I never thought he would ever sign on with us – and I was dead wrong on that. I thought he could never recover his lost EPL reputation with us but he has by achieving an unprecedented double treble. When he arrived with us, I think the only significant English League club that would have looked at him was Swansea so he preferred us to Swansea. By the end of his time with us, his reputation was secure enough to get him a shot at a Leicester/Everton/Newcastle/ Bournemouth level (but probably not Watford), which is pretty decent but it is not Arsenal or Spurs or Chelsea. Only by doing well at Leicester will he get a shot at that level again. We should all know that fact, but through our grief we have been hitting out all over the place today.
We did not lose Virgil Van Dijk to Chelsea, we did not lose Stuart Armstrong to Spurs, we did not lose Wanyama to Man U and we did not lose Ki to Liverpool. (Kieran tierney may be an exception in getting a chance with a big club like Kenny D, Charlie Nick and Davie Hay).
We are predated upon by Southampton and Swansea, we lose out on transfer targets to Championship clubs like Villa. We see transfer targets like Lee Tomlin of Peterborough choose Middlesboro instead of us.
At some stage, the penny must drop. We are a big club in a small league. We are not the Celtic of the Jock Stein era. We are not the Celtic of the pre-Bosman era. And we are not the Celtic who was able to tempt Martin O’ Neill (and NFL) FROM Leicester or even Tony Mowbray form WBA without paying a King’s ransom. Football and the football market has changed utterly.
We can blame PL. We can blame BR. We can blame DD.
We can indulge in the delusional belief that if the let me take the reins I’d soon sort it and do it better and restore us to former short-lived glory.
But, in the end, we have to wake up to reality and have project managers who are not wanted by bigger clubs just as we have to be smart in hoovering up overlooked projects like Edouard, Boyata , N’tcham, Christie and, hopefullly Bayo. We have to grow our own like Mikey and Hendo.
Brendan Rodgers was good for us and we were good for him. He goes with my thanks for what he did in trying to make us a braver club but, once he’s gone I’ll stop pining for him instantly ( many could not do this when MON left).
Neil is a great interim caretaker and we should have enough to get over the line in the league this year. Let’s not prepare any excuses for failing to do so!
I worry that Neil is not a great long term solution as this country hates him too much and we put too much stress into his life- we should respect his limits and his needs.
My big worry is that we try to change our direction from challenging brave football to pragmatic again because after 2 or 3 years we will be pining for what, today, we are calling tiki-taki and heart-attack football.
Diddy clubs chop and change their managers and their football philosophies in a blunderbuss approach to targetting success.
We need continuity of football direction.
And- No! I don’t care much whether that is with or without PL.
If he goes we will need to hire some other scapegoat in a suit to take over. We could easily get a cheaper one- planty of guys know how to do it apparently.
Let’s just beat the Hearts and take it from there
What did people expect of a corporate statement?
It will bear no reflection to the anger inside the club currently that we all share.
It’s nuptials nonsense.
OK Bhoys what will Lenny’s line up be? What tactics will we adopt.
!!BADA BING!! on 26TH FEBRUARY 2019 6:26 PM
Catman- keep up the good work HH
Thanks mate, the worst news I have ever brought to the blog. Like most I feel sickened by his timing. A strange way for a supposed true Celtic man to behave.
Anyway onwards and upwards we all need to get behind Neil Lennon and Scott Brown we have a Treble Treble to win
HH
Scott Brown is most impotant man tomorrow. Drive team forward but stop us getting involved in a kicking match
BGFC….braw post..
give the wee man my best..
there will be a lot of wee Celtic girls and boys bewildered at the moment…..but with the abundant robustness of youth they will be singing loudly again..(its us auld codgers that will need to embrace the change wisely)
smiley Neil Francis Hunskelping Lennon thing
hang em high
Braw
Oglach- think I heard that JK has picked the team for tomorrow night.
Going forwRd I would hope Lenny would get the ball forward quicker than the pishy tippy tippy along our own 6yard line.
D. :)
I am disappointed – mostly in the timing – of BR’s departure.
But, honestly, what loyalty has the Club shown to the fans of late? They wouldn’t pee on any of us if we were burning to death … unless we were on our way to pay for our season ticket renewal.
You get what you give.
As some are keen to remind us … we are a PLC … it is a business first and foremost. Our employee got a better offer …. he took it. It was simply business.
Life … and the business …. goes on.
Perhaps the worst aspect of this is personal.
I have been reduced to being unable to wish a departing Celt.
” Best wishes for your future ”
An uncomfortable truth .
HI BHOYS, mike in Toronto im ok pal, just had too much alcohol on sunday ,so out the game until today, will resume my weather reports from Cheshire tomorrow god willing, not that anybodys interested, but I love posting on here, on Brendan Rodgers ,when he was unveiled as celtic manager there was 10,000 fans at parkhead to welcome him, lets see how many fans turn up at leicesters stadium, money talks im afraid, don’t let the door hit you on the way out mr Rodgers.hh,
Dembele saying he told us so
Anyone who has twitter needs to go see what Mousa Dembele has been tweeting. Seems to be saying BR was a fraud who didn’t have us at heart.
Brendan Rodgers: I realised I’d taken Celtic as far as I could when Leicester came in for me

New Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.
BREAKING
New Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.
0 comment
BRENDAN Rodgers tonight revealed that he believed he had taken Celtic as far as he could after being confirmed as they new Leicester City manager.
Rodgers led the Parkhead club to domestic trebles in his first two seasons in charge and also into the Champions League group stages.
But this season they failed to failed to even make the Champions League play-off and lost their first league game to Rangers at Ibrox in December.
The Northern Irishman’s voiced his unhappiness at the transfer business that the Glasgow club conducted during the summer publicly.
In his first interview with Leicester’s official television channel, the former Swansea City and Liverpool boss stressed he had enjoyed his time at Celtic and was in no rush to leave.
However, the 46-year-old admitted that he felt there was nothing more he could achieve in Scotland when the former English champions approached him.
Speaking to LCTV, Rodgers said: “It feels great. It’s obviously come very quickly and obviously, of course, over the last few days, but I know I’m joining a fantastic club that has grown so quickly over these last few years.
“I’m just delighted to be here. I think there was a number of reasons (why I joined). I was certainly in no hurry to leave Celtic. Celtic is a club that’s a huge club worldwide, a renowned club, and I loved working with the players there.
“We were on a journey of great success over these last years but when the opportunity came to talk to Leicester and I was able to analyse it, it allowed me to think that I’d probably achieved and taken the club maybe at Celtic as far as I could at this moment.
“The opportunity to speak with Leicester and find out their ambitions and where we can grow the club and the training facility. Of course, the big attraction for me is working with the players.
“It’s a young squad, a very dynamic squad, it’s got huge potential and you’ve got some of the players with good experience also. There was a number of factors in being here and, like I say, I’m absolutely delighted.”
Rodgers added: “Coming into the club at this point of the season, it’s never normally ideal, but it gives me the chance to observe and analyse the players over this last period of games.
“I know it’s been a really difficult season for the club on and off the pitch. It’s been really emotional in many ways.
“For me it’s the case of just trying to stabilise the emotion of everything that’s happened this season and looking to inspire the players so that they can then inspire the supporters.
“Myself and my staff will come in and we’ll look to immediately put in place our philosophy and that identity that my teams normally play with and hopefully then over the course of time, the supporters will recognise that and they’ll come to enjoy it.
“Supporters maybe have seen my teams at Swansea and at Liverpool and at Celtic and will recognise how intensely we try to press the game and from that.
“That’s the base then to use your qualities technically so that will be something that we look to do over the course of time and that will take place straight after the game (vs. Brighton & Hove Albion) and into our first training session.”
“It’s obviously a league I was involved in heavily with both those clubs and it’s been nearly three years away from it, but of course, you’re observing from the outside looking in.
“The one thing I’ve always known with the Premier League, it gets quicker each season. I felt that when I was there with Swansea and Liverpool and it doesn’t look any different to that, so I’m really looking forward to the challenge of coming to work with the players.
“They seem a very honest group of boys who want to work well. We want to go on and impose that way of working and give them the confidence and clarity to play to a level that I believe they can play at.
“The two things that I would always ask for is commitment and a positive attitude. Players will make mistakes, but you have to be able to let them go, but primarily I always ask my teams to play with that commitment, that structure, but also the attitude.
“I want them to be really aggressive in the game, both with and without the ball, so those will be the messages early on and then, of course, when we’ve had more working time together we can start to implement the tactical ideas.”
“My natural environment is on the grass, working with players, and that’s something that, as I’ve said, I can’t wait for.”
Rodgers expressed his hope he could play a part in rebuilding Leicester following the tragic death of their chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash last year.
“I’d just like to say that I’m very privileged and honoured to be here as the manager,” he said. “I promise that I’ll give my life to making them proud of their team and proud of their club, and I look forward to working with them because together we’re stronger.
“It’s been a really difficult period, like I say, but my message is that together we’ll be stronger and on and off the pitch let’s make the right steps forward and I look forward to, like I say, making them proud of their team.”
BP
glad to hear you are okay ….was a bit worried that you had left us and signed a contract with LeicesterQuickNews
(too soon to joke about it?)
:)
Interesting subject with Lenny being in charge we might actually sign a couple of decent defensive players- such as Big Fraser, Virgil, and Big vic. We live in hope
Corkcelt @ 6:53pm – Really good post.
Lifted my spirits.

Stewart Fisher: Neil Lennon always had unfinished business at Celtic but his return caps a remarkable turnaround

FASTEN your seatbelts. Neil Lennon is back in the Celtic hot-seat.
Even by the turbulent standards of this 43-year-old from Lurgan, the last 24 hours have been tumultuous. If Celtic were on cruise control under Brendan Rodgers, there was surprise in some quarters yesterday that his Northern Irish countryman should be the safe pair of hands parachuted in by Peter Lawwell to steady the ship after the man at the helm jumped ship for Leicester City.
It is a triumphant return indeed for the man who racked up two league titles, six trophies in all and even managed to beat Barcelona in his previous stint at Parkhead. But if Lennon’s recent managerial history is anything to go by, everyone might also be in for a bumpy old ride.
There have been times during the five years since the Northern Irishman brought the curtain down on a successful first stint at Celtic that a second coming at the club seemed well-nigh inevitable. For all the low-level grumbles and frustrations over transfer kitties and the like, it was an idea which never really went away – in the minds of the key protagonists as much as the fans.
“I left on very good terms with the board and Peter and Mr Desmond,” said Lennon during what turned into a challenging time at Bolton Wanderers. “And we did say that if ever the opportunity came up again further down the line, if things were going well for both of us, I would have no hesitation in coming back.”
A victim of circumstance down at fiscally-strapped Bolton, it should also be stated beyond doubt that Lennon’s two-and-a-bit years at Easter Road proved once again that he is a very capable football manager. He won a league title there, racked up a record points haul, and built a team capable of playing engaging football.
His players seemed to share the same big game temperament as their manager: Easter Road wins in each of the last two seasons proves that, along with Steve Clarke’s Kilmarnock, his Hibs team were as capable as anyone when it comes stepping up to the plate and going toe-to-toe with the Premiership champions.
Yet, at other points in the journey, the prospect of Lennon rocking up again at Lennoxtown seemed like the most outlandish thing in the world. Life under him was certainly never dull. The only question was whether Lawwell and co needed all the hassle.
The Northern Irishman remained a lightning rod for controversy – not to mention a target for abuse, sometimes of a sectarian nature, from opposition fans. A rather unseemly set-to with Morton manager Jim Duffy, after which the former Dundee manager had to refute the suggestion that he had offered Lennon ‘a square go’, was just the start of it. When he was struck by a coin at a goalless Edinburgh derby in October 2018, he called the Hearts fans out for ‘anti Catholic’ racism said he may consider his position at the club.
Fast forward to May 2018 and another rollercoaster week in the life of this 43-year-old from Lurgan. When a 2-1 Hearts win in the Edinburgh derby ended his hopes of finishing second, Lennon said it wasn’t up to his standards and again said he was considering his future. Yet days later he was back, running onto the field towards the Rangers fans mimicking an aeroplane after a riotous 5-5 draw on the last day of the season. It was typical Lennon.
This season has been more of the same, as the Northern Irishman’s demeanour seemed to fluctuate on the sidelines and his team’s performances with it. With results up and down, as the season wore on, media duties would often be left to his assistant Garry Parker, as relations seemed to fluctuate with both his own dressing room and the boardroom.
When he departed in typically dramatic fashion – at first suspended amid talk of heated exchanges with certain players, before lawyers clarified that no misconduct had taken place – the world wondered where exactly Lennon would end up next. Few expected him to walk into one of the biggest and best jobs in Scotland within a month.
Yet here he is, being told yesterday to make his way to Lennoxtown to finalise the contractual arrangements yesterday before being announced as caretaker manager – at first until the end of the season.
Who knows? If it goes as well as his first one did, he might even earn the chance to become the club’s new permanent boss. Few, after all, expected him to make the success of himself that he did back when inheriting the job in 2010, a period which saw him survive a Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County to make the position his own.
By comparison, his demands this time around seem prosaic. See out the league campaign – perhaps masterminding an Old Firm victory or two – and deliver the Scottish Cup and Celtic could even be celebrating their first treble under Lennon’s watch. There would be few at the club if that came to pass who would deprive him the opportunity to lead Celtic to what would be a historic ten top flight titles in a row.
In the short term, the benefits are obvious. He knows many of the players, knows the demands, knows how the club operates, and knows the league like the back of his hand.
And what a start it is. John Kennedy, and not Lennon, is expected to be in charge tomorrow night at Tynecastle, but this weekend it is his former club Hibs – and Flo Kamberi – in the Scottish Cup quarter finals. Everyone should fasten your seatbelts all right. Because Neil Lennon is back in the Celtic hotseat.
Well Brendan has gone and no matter what you think of him money talks we have to move on and we cant kid our selves the treble treble is very much at risk can you imagine the lift todays events have given the huns as they see it Gerrard has seen Rodgers off ? We have no idea how the Celtic players feel tonight but there are a few who will hope Brendan comes in for them in the summer and there will be a few who feel sorry for themselves not the best preparation for a tough away game at Tynecastle. Brendans leaving is not well timed but I dont believe for a minute a true Celtic man would have walked off at this time.H.H.
Notes from the underground
We’ve been here before and, equally, we haven’t been here before…
My worries are twofold – there’s a creeping realisation that this was on the horizon – it’s certainly being framed that way on certain blogs
And, more importantly, we are actually in need of a rebuild – that rebuild will be steered by a new philosophy.
The legacy building I’ve been hearing about over the past few years, isn’t as concrete as we thought – as the amount of temp loans will prove…
It’s a shame – especially in that it reeks of Celtic – it’s got a ‘only Celtic’ feel about it.
Felicitations to all the ole hands – good to see some familiars.

Hear hear! Thank God Lenny was available . I can think of no better person to have beside us in the trenches with the games coming up.
Brendan Rodgers will never have some of the core qualities that Lenny has.
Football fans are often/ usually a bit divorced from reality when it comes to there clubs. We see it all the time, & even find it amusing when it’s other teams & fans that are at it. But, it hurts when it’s your own team, & I understand some of the vitriol & sense of betrayal around Brendan’s decision.
The, sad, reality is that we as a club are very much lower in the food chain than are Leicester. Historically of course, & in terms of fan base, & potential if there were to be a restructuring of how football operates, we are on a different planet to them, but in the here & now, a decent EPL team is quite simply a much greater attraction to both players & coaches than we are. Apparently there average player wage is over 3 times ours, & they have spent over £300 million in transfer fees in the last few years.
It’s a different world, & just as I could not criticise Moussa for leaving to go to another team higher in the food chain than us, I can’t begrudge Brendan taking this opportunity. I suspect that he would rather have waited till the summer to go, but if as seems to be the case Leicester forced the issue, then I say good luck to him.
We are immeasurably better off as a club for his time here, financially, reputationally, & in terms of trophies. We’ll also make a few bob in compensation. Although it isn’t really a compensation for the loss of a top class manager, is it?
The next appointment is obviously hugely important. NFL or Stevie Clarke would be decent if unsexy & fairly safe appointments, but if we could get someone whose philosophy is a bit more like Brendan’s, that for me would be better. David Wagner, perhaps?
Anyhow, I echo Paul67’s comments. Best of luck Brendan, thanks for all that you have done for the club.
can you imagine the lift scotlands referees get with brendan leaving, the honest mistakes will be racked up, lennon will react, the press will say he brought it on himself.
no chance a treble treble will be allowed.
BP1– how much drink did you have?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Was it that many?
Glad you are ok
D. :)
As Chris Sutton has tweeted “Good Luck to Brendan Rogers in his “new” dream job!”
In Lenny We Trust!!
What a day.
I hope Lenny is in charge for tomorrow, and I thank God that Scott Brown is still with us and not in Australia.
We are going to need everything about us to get over the line this season in the league and cup – but imagine the feeling if we do it after this.
I can’t imagine what the former manager said to the players at Lennoxtown yesterday when he made his farewells, but their heads will be all over the place.
We need someone to pull them in, focus them and remind them that we are Celtic and that they are professionals. I can’t think of anybody I would trust more to do that than Lenny and Broonie.
I’ve loved Celtic all my life. If we can win a treble treble this year under these circumstances it will rank right up there with our greatest achievements.
As for the former manager, thanks for the positives you brought to my club, but after yesterday and today, your legacy is dust.
I haven’t felt more used and betrayed since Tony Blair.
” BRENDAN Rodgers tonight revealed that he believed he had taken Celtic as far as he could after being confirmed as they new Leicester City manager ” .
What an insult .
A departing kick in the teeth .
Thanks , Brendan.
Unwittingly , you have given Lenny all the incentive he could have wished for .
Brendan forgot to say that he’d be taking Peter and Ian with him.
No, that’ll be left to the Green Brigade to say it…and they will.
And they’ll be right.
Where’s Garry Parker? Kennedy forced upon another Celtic Manager? Here we go again…..
