@ CELTIC40ME on 15TH MAY 2021 8:03 PM
You have to look at things objectively. Many smaller teams in larger leagues prioritise the top 4 over Europa League. Leicester did this season (they rested players when they were knocked out). Leipzig and Lazio rested (or at least did not start) first team players against us in at least one leg of our games in order to focus on obtaining the top 4.
It is difficult to criticise most aspects of BR’s European record with us, although I do think he was an ideologue determined to play football in a particular manner (possession based) which was to our determinant against the super clubs. First season he got us back to the CL and was drawn in one of (if not) the hardest groups we have faced. In his second season, another tough CL group. Our opponents in the knock out rounds were CL level teams – Zenit and Valencia. Against that backdrop, it’s difficult to criticise not progressing past the last 32. Losing to a team of Copenhagen’s standard is a different matter.
Gerrard has certainly made Sevco a very tough and consistent Europa league quality team. But his knockout stage draws have been favourable – Antwerp and Braga are not in the same league as Zenit and Valencia. When Sevco played Leverkusen and Slavia – the former is certainly CL quality, the latter a decent EL team – they were found wanting.
You could argue that only his time at Liverpool could really be classified as a failure from a European perspective. Still, he got them closer to winning a title than any manager in recent history had up until Klopp arrived; Klopp is a pretty outstanding manager, so no shame in not being at his level.
I would expect Arsenal and Spurs to look at BR. His domestic record in England is sufficiently good to merit that. Guardiola with all the money in the world at his disposal has not won a CL for 10 years. That may change fairly soon, but European football is a competitive environment.
I see a new loon has appeared……..or is it an existing loon taking to himself?
Never sure these days.

Do you not think Barcelona might have a few reservations about someone with that record?
——————————————-
Barcelona appointed Koeman. Not sure his CV was much better either domestically or in Europe.

Based on your assumptions I think your decision making might be a little flawed. I’m just looking out for you, I wouldn’t want to see you ruin your future

Many thanks
Maybe best you message Dermot too, I’m sure he’ll be bricking it that share prices are not correlated to profits

who would you like to buy DD shares?
we have to get closer as a club in cororate terms better communications with fans.it is also precarious times for clubs and identityless owners/asset strippers so my message is watch what you wish for.
CELTICFOREVER on 15TH MAY 2021 8:50 PM
BR dint help his case mentioning to DD bout china offer,just my opinion but to say that was equivelent of saying to his boss he was open to offers.from that second on clock was ticking.
You could say in some ways we didnt manage ourselves well since 2012.still not at moment.
i hope new structure and management hit ground running.they better as Celtic need to win

I’d prefer more fan ownership which would need to be partnered by serious investors who have ambitions beyond old firm SPFL success as the benchmark
The Divisional Commander for Greater Glasgow’s full statement said: “Today is understandably a significant day for Rangers Football Club and its supporters. We understand the importance of football in Glasgow, how it connects our communities and, is for many, a culture and a way of life.
—
if the divisional commander had done his homework he would have noticed that ‘Rangers Football Club’ do not exist
they used exist, for over a century actually
but they dont now
he is in fact talking about ‘The Rangers Football Club’
which is the newer name for ‘Sevco Scotland Limited’ who were founded in 2012
very clear going by this

I remember when Rodgers first signed we were only playing
to about 40,000 at Celtic Park with the full top tier of the
Lisbons Lions Stand closed but when Rodgers came in our
season ticket renewals, revenue etc went through the roof
but although we won the league in Rodgers second season
it was nowhere as convincing as his first season and I wonder if
the board influence started to get to him and it was then he
knew he couldnt take us as far as he would like
Helicopter been out in City centre for about an hour..
How much is does that cost me.

Cheeky ………… surely not
Ps I get your trying to be cheeky to me too 😅
Listening to all the fireworks going off now across the city
I hope for gods sake we get our act together for next season
and shut those hun muppets up
Just what financial wizardry did PL perform. He just spent enough to be in front, money generated by us, kept £40m in the bank at one point, didn’t do due diligence on appointing NL in the shower.
Ps have a season book, had one since 1986, when it was the princely sum of £80, current seat details available if requested (automatic renewal too) I only point this out, not for the “I’m a better supporter than you award” merely for context
No doubt you are all seeing the same images as I am. Absolutely shameful. Being portrayed as a “party mood” by a compliant media. Both the Scottish Government and the Police are culpable for today for their mealy-mouthed, wishy-washy language in the build up. A phuckin disgrace and likely to increase the chances of further lockdown.
Brilliant for Brendan Rodgers and his back room staff getting that win today. So good to see.

back room staff?
🤷🏻♂️
not sure ive ever read the back room staff of an english team getting bigged up here
.
The manky mob are well named they have been spreading disease from their late euro tie till their two
rampages through the city celebrating the first league win . Fek them.

=======================
We have quite a range of share ownership.in 1995 Celtic fans stood forward and put their money into Celtic in a then world record share issue.its the admin of those shares that needs to be overseen and registration maintained.if not the voting right defaults to DD./the board.The Celtic Trust are doing a big drive.
Most who bought in still own their shares.They were not bought to sell.it was a bit of Celtic.
Who? in terms of serious investors, Wigan had a few of them recently.We have to watch here imo.we have a lot of financial stability aboard in DD since 1994/5.
some fans drifted away in Ronny years,no old frim in sight remember the top tier
Alas any time we have had success in europe it starts here.
i think DD would be receptive to a bid.all good capitalists are but the monies would be vastly dif from 94.
always good to make Celtic.

This was not there only trophy in a generation.
If you remember, they won their only premiership title a few years ago with an entirely different manager. Whom they then sacked

Leicester did this season (they rested players when they were knocked out).
He didn’t text players when they were knocked out. Rodgers played the same teams against Prague as he did in the victory over Liverpool ithe weekend before the first leg
He made one change from that team in the first leg and two in the second
Should read: He didn’t rest players
According to Slippy “ this club is like very few in the world “
You are so right, maybe some day a big boy will explain what your comments really mean!

You didn’t say the share price was related to profits, you said it was solely dependent on income. They aren’t the same thing.
sore winners.
@ CELTIC40ME on 15TH MAY 2021 10:09 PM
I’m sure they rested a few players in the return leg, but in any event, I stand by the fairly common approach that teams from the big leagues prioritise top 4 over Europa League (at least until the rules changed and they can qualify directly by winning the competition).
Thoroughly depressing and extraordinary scenes in Glasgow today. I’ve seen a number of videos and believe me what I’ve seen is sub human. The cost to the city and the country will run into many millions of pounds.

The Kelly’s / Whites were not billionaires .
They could be starved out.
Dermot won’t be.

i think it came out in that interview BR mentioned its china offer.
i dont dissent his contribution to Celtic and his professionalizing of our club and have no spite with him,he is part of our history not the other way around,as far as i know he got everything asked of at lennoxtown,it was he who left,Brand Brendan the coach overseen all.

True, but he was a stop-gap, brought in to sort out the dressing room and they are looking for someone more long-term to replace him in the summer. And they like ex-players managing the team

But according to JHB 60% of our support are every bit as bad. The dafties as Ernie the Ego described us. (BTW dafty is the Ulster Scots for a SEN child – which I am sure Mr Brain Box Ernie the Ego knows)

Rangers is a great football club, it has a great history and it’s unfortunate that they have been relegated,” said the Irish businessman.
“We would certainly like to contest with them every week – we believe we’ve got a better team and a better management structure.
“Rangers is a fantastic football club, it is one of the greatest football clubs in Great Britain, we’ve got to acknowledge that. But we can only look after ourselves.”
Desmond is sure that the Ibrox club will eventually return to Scotland’s top flight and believes they are needed there for the size of their support alone.
@ TINYTIM on 15TH MAY 2021 10:25 PM
I don’t think he will be starved out, but a boycott could elicit change in their approach to the footballing department.
If we had 60,000 supporters turning up during the Ronny era irrespective of how poor we were or how little ambition we showed, we would not have signed BR. The board wouldn’t feel the need.
Only because people did not attend and consequently revenue dropped, did they feel the need to finally act and make a quality appointment to entice the supporters back.

Dermot won’t sell when the share price is down.
It is naive to think so .
IMHO

ROLLING_STONE on 15TH MAY 2021 10:21 PM
Two changes from the Liverpool game in the second leg
It might be an approach that teams in the bigger leagues take but it doesn’t seem to be one he did. And in that case why didn’t Celtic do better against Valencia?
DAVID 17
100% correct. I am almost lost for words at some of the disgusting video images I’ve seen tonight. If Gerrard thinks that standard of behaviour is acceptable then it says more about him than anything I ever could.
Burnley
It’s something that isn’t acknowledged enough. Gerard is rabble rousing pond life scum.
@CELTIC40ME on 15TH MAY 2021 10:33 PM
Well Valencia were fairly good. Top 4 in Spain, Spanish Cup winners and semi final of EL.
ROLLING_STONE on 15TH MAY 2021 10:40 PM
Valencia are a perfect fit for your description of a team in a big leagues that prioritizes domestic league positions over Europa success, and field weakened teams as a result.
By your logic we shouldn’t be going at as meekly against them as we did. The defeat is an even bigger black mark against them in that case

Good point.
