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. It is great to dream of Zlatan who can earn £200k per week with Manure or £500k per week by moving to China…decisions!

     

    Bookies PP did the same with Keane brought his odds brought down.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  2. We are trying to build a team and rid ourselves of any disruptive influences.

     

    Zlatan has had numerous dressing room controversies and We have been stung before by ageing superstars.

     

     

    A striker approaching 35 is a mega bucks gamble that would not be worth the outlay unless we got him for practically nothing.

     

     

    Anyway, how can you add an extra 10k to the attendance, when Parkhead will be full anyway.:-)))

     

     

    Hail, Hail.

  3. A very good evening friends. Hope you’ve all had as fantastic a last 4 hours as I’ve had ;-)

    Very little Dave Swarbrick in my house. .Not really my cup of tea.Saw him twice – once with Ian Campbell at the Glasgow Folk Club and once with Fairport Convention.

  5. Hrvatski Jim on

    Zlatan means golden in Croatian.

     

     

    No wonder with a reported salary like that.

  6. Mr Pastry is an anagram for Mats Nilloc

     

    You are no right in the heed mi amigo.

     

    I don’t have any hatred for Pedro, never have done, never will do, the difference between you and I is that I can see past my brown nose and see that maybes Pedro has a fault or two.

  10. RIP Swarbs. No more roisin up the bow.

     

     

    He and the rhythm section were the cement in a band with two major talents Sandy and Richard.

     

     

    Not a strong enough singer but he wrote a good song. Not a flashy virtuoso but he could make his instrument enhance the song.
