Getting buy-in from senior players

1079

Delighted to see Brendan Rodgers is down to business at Lennoxtown, three weeks before the players return for preseason training. It’s interesting that he arranged an early opportunity to meet Scott Brown over a meal, and that this was made public.

Getting buy-in from senior players was one aspect of the job Ronny Deila allegedly didn’t achieve. The rights and wrongs of this can wait for Ronny’s autobiography, although you may wish to express an outsider’s opinion. All that matters to Brendan is that no one is able to speculate about the same issue on his watch.

There’s not much a manager can do three weeks before training starts than eat dinner with the captain, scout players and watch videos. I expect Brendan to have seen every minute of every Celtic game last season by the time players get back; there is lots to learn. In particular, what went wrong at the back to a team which broke defensive records in each of the previous two campaigns. You may wish to express an outsider’s opinion.

Those in the know warned us that blue collar crime is particularly difficult to prosecute, and so it’s transpired. Only Craig Whyte now faces trial in the Rangers fraud case, which saw remaining charges against Duff and Phelps’ administrators David Whitehouse and Paul Clark dropped at the High Court in Glasgow this morning. It’s far from a satisfactory outcome.

Good to hear the losing Scottish Cup final manager, who was left with some bears in Japanese forest for seven days by his parents, has been found safe and well, even if he has nothing to say for himself.

  1. Hi Petec,

     

     

    Dont dare say anything about Saint Muhamid Ali.

     

     

    Joe Frasier a much more humble man said a few truths about Cassius. Joe when on top used to fill Ali’s pockets as Ali was down. Later in years when Joe wasn’t doing so well Ali the great one would not even return his calls.

     

    That is the measure of a man in my book, not the public personna.

    Cheers, I know that is the main draw, it was CRC’s sweepstake draw, was only trying to make sure I don’t get Albania with the old tempting fate, but it’s now a cert :-)

     

     

    Canny believe wee Tierney is only 19, when I was 19 I was still celebrating the centenary double then a Joe Miller cup final winner before I hit 20, little did I know for the next decade the Bank of Scotland would dominate the trophies in our league

    Jimmynotpaul: will light a ‘Spanish’ candle for you this morning on the Costa Blanca. BTW All , red hot here but I had to PAY to get here and the plants back home will be dying of thirst in the heatwave you are having!!

    Oh it doesn’t annoy me….bores me, saps me of hope, and passes the hours between getting on with good stuff. Still it allows the dosh to enjoy the wine , cider, cooking, family dinners, garden stuff. So, on balance we just get on with it, have a good day and light one for all families while you are there.

     

    I’m not a candle lighter myself but can pray like Jesuit when required.
