Can everyone just calm their jets on the notion that Brendan Rodgers, or anyone else for that matter, is in prime position for the manager’s job?
I’ve seen these appointments at close quarters for a long time. An interview is often little more than a courtesy. Remember years ago, the ex-Juventus boss, a disaster in Turin, never taken seriously in Glasgow, but he had an influential agent that Celtic wanted to get closer to?
There was also an ex-Celtic player who applied. Everyone know he was a hopeless manager, but still, am ex-player deserved a little courtesy. He was interviewed, then politely told they were going in a different direction.
Brendan was a winning Celtic manager. If, as reported, he was interviewed, you’d better believe he has invested some capital in even being considered. The way he behaved at Liverpool, then Celtic, and his lack of structural legacy at both these clubs and at Leicester, means Brendan has a bit of a reputational challenge going forward. Even being considered by Celtic would do him good.
I don’t see it going any further than this, though. We’ve seen what an actual great manager can do. One that leaves a legacy of a valuable squad. One that never considered short-term loans as part of his modus operandi. A team player in every sense.
We have had an elite operator for two years. The difference to what went before is stark.
I know that in 2019 we didn’t as much appoint Neil Lennon as end up with him after an unfruitful search. So, if we’re reading the signs, there’s a chance we’ll end up with a breaker, not a builder.
I’m reading the signs and I just can’t see Brendan Rodgers getting this gig. His interview is just noise, it’s not the sound you should be paying attention to.

Oops, just when you thought things were getting a wee bit crankie!

So much effort put into a post, soon to be deleted! Hope you are well Kev 👌
GUESS WHOS BACK
Posts should only be deleted if they break the rules – not sure I can see a reason.
I really do wonder if there is another support in the world who would watch their manager win 5 trophies in a row and then have the audacity to say “it was a disastrous appointment”

To be fair plenty slip through but you’re right
Rangers’ move for Malik Tillman could be off as Bayern Munich believe they can attain ‘higher fee’ for American superstar..
– A headline that will come as no surprise to anyone.

Thought the huns had a right to buy option at an already agreed sum from the beginning of the loan ?!
Sometimes a bit of straight talking is just what you need.
Chatting to my old Belgian pal who’s a big Standard Liege fan, and was a big fan of Ronny Deila who has just left Standard for FC Bruges.
Apparently in the dog days of the season Ronny was giving it – well, we all know the speech by now, “I’m just thinking about my summer holidays and then we can focus on next season” etc etc.
Two days later he’s away to Bruges, and the Standard chairman is reputed to have said “I’d like to wish Ronny all the best for the future but I won’t because he’s a f*cking Judas.”
So much for corporate-speak :-)
what fee did the currants get for kent ?
PRESTONPANS BHOYS on 12TH JUNE 2023 5:02 PM
So did I. £5m.
The cynic in me suggests that the Huns, with a squad to rebuild, don’t have that now nd are looking a way out and to save face. I think Tillman doesn’t fancy it either.
Stupid, stupid Huns….

Why are so many digging up stories about Lenny,Lawell.Any chance you could move into 2023.
Go stand outside CP with a placard telling them who you DONT want.Make things simple.
No to Rodgers,no to Maresca,no to Farque,,the list goes on.
I like the look of Knutsen,but he could be a disaster.No one knows.Rodgers will be a reliable,dominant figure .If he goes in 2 years,with a record like Ange,who cares?.

Currently in Teach Tessie – Mín a Leice.
I’m sure I’m missing the obvious answer, but which ex Celtic player who everybody (?) knew was a hopeless manager is PL, sorry P67, referring to?
Henri Larsson or Roy Keane?
Let’s see if this works.

Fixed that for you
maybe tillman asked bayern to buy him out of his ibrox hell
AURORA….Stubbs, supposedly….
Malik Tillman has issued a plea to Gers to ‘end his Bayern Munich hell ‘
Rainjurz on receiving a flat knockback with an inferior offer, will be congratulated for not breaking their strictly staunch wages cap even when bidding on Superstars
If we appointed Rodgers…we know he wouldn’t be here long…that is the time to make plans ..and lists of younger managers who want to make a name for themselves…but you know what….they’d be away as well if miss EPL flashed her knickers!!…there is no such thing….as a long term plan…it is utter nonsense….you get the right person for the job at that moment in time …you pray he’s successful leave in 2 years or not.
By the way the board got very very lucky with Ange …there was no plan …just luck
