The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

Looks like Brendan Rodgers.  I'd take that but a lot of boys won't be happy!

I'm quite happy to have BR back in if I'm honest.

Disappointed it's not Neil, but sure second best.

Reports that Leeds are interested in him also.

With Rogers, I'd say that Desmond has a big input in that deal once again.  They seem to have a good relationship.

Will a few lads leave now? Need a decent European campaign now to boost things as the league is poor. Celtic and the board need to push on in Europe.  Smaller clubs than Celtic do it.

That'll be my yardstick this year, especially when they got straight into the Champion's League group stages.

As well as his match management skills, Rogers might be better at bringing in quality players.

Great for Celtic , much better than Lennon IMHO but a giant step back for BR after being at Liverpool and Leicester.

It's like managing Dortmund and say Moenchengladbach in the German league now he's with some minnow outfit in Eastern Europe that romps their league or only has one competitor every year.

It's probably his last management stint. The business is ruthless

Why would it be?

Wouldn't think so. He has 20 years left I'd say. He must be about 50 now.

Look at Big Sam, Alex Ferguson and Roy Hodgson etc.  Managers have a long career.

Most top flight managers drop out long before 70.

Why would it be?

Because his CV will have  Celtic/ Leicester relegated/ Celtic . And he doesn't want to manage in the Championship.

Your missing the bit where he nearly won the league with Liverpool. But for one slip probably would have.

I think he is a very good manager. Definitely good enough for Celtic.

He'll be a good quality replacement for Ange, but like most Celtic supporters it all feels a bit meh. He'll have to work to win back the support and unless he radically improves us in Europe he hasn't got much room for manoeuvre as we're already TOTP domestically.

It's all about Europe now.

Need to show improvements there and make progress there.

Hopefully Rogers impresses on Desmond the amount of money required to make a mark in Europe. If I was Rogers I'd be making this a guarantee if I'm returning to Glasgow.
