The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[tonto1888]

Ronnie signed over 20 players for celtic including the likes of Carlton Cole, Colin Kazim Richards and Alexander Tonev. He had money to spend. He spent it badly

Ronny

Won two league titles in two seasons

Proved himself by qualifying for knockout stages of Europa League when he could call on quality like Van Dyke,Guidetti,Denayer etc

Was only earning a fraction of the current manager's salary.

Of course there has been a marked improvement this season.That was the minimum requirement given the new manager's super salary and millions to acquire Dembele,Sinclair etc,all of which was denied to his predecessor.

What is your issue with rodgers? Isit because he managed liverpool? Is it his personal life? What?

When he hit it big at Liverpool he got the teeth done and left the wife for a young thing.  Wasn't true to his Catholic upbringing.  It's mad, but that's what all this comes from.

Isn't that what nearly everyone living in Liverpool does tho?  It's like a city version of the Shankill Road.  Teeth whitening and tans everywhere you look.

Brendan is being lavished with undue and undeserved praise.

Ur rite Tonto what a clown Ronnie was!!

[T Fearon]

How much influence  did Ronny really have over transfers or anything else for that matter? I doubt if he spent years of his life in Norway dreaming of signing Carlton Cole.There is no comparison with the power and privilege Brendan Rodgers enjoys in comparison with Ronny.

As was pointed out earlier, in his time Ronny had a decent first 11 and few subs. The team that beat Rangers the other day was a Ronny team plus Sinclair.
Bren played Rangers off the park with Ronny's team.
The contrast in coaching and managerial acumen can not be more starkly demonstrated than by that example. Brendan has produced a silk purse from (Ronnys) pig's ears
Ronny is struggling in Norway with Valerenga, played 6 lost 4. Last game, they had the ball, passed it around, pressed to some good effect for an hour, other team come up the field and Ronny's defense leaks 2 goals, Ronny's game is a poor plan A with no plan B and every other copped on manager has worked him out.

No doubt Brendan is a better manager than Ronny.How could he not be having come under the wing of Mourinho at Chelsea and having managed for five or six years in the EPL with Swansea and Liverpool? But his achievements to date at Celtic are merely the minimum expectations,and not deserving of the lavish praise.

Are you just cutting and pasting from 8 months ago?

Not losing a game and winning the treble are minimum expectations? Wow, under that sort of pressure, Rodgers is under paid.

Yes,it's tremendous staying unbeaten when you're playing Ross Co,Dundee,Kilmarnock etc.That was an aberration against Red Imps,Gibraltar as for the 7 nil defeat in Barcelona,that was just bad luck

How can you call yourself a fan? Is there any other celtic fan anywhere who thinks like this? ( if you do actuallly think like this)

[illdecide]

Guys, Guys...Tony cream's himself in BR company and does support Celtic and when you ignore his posts he rarely shows his face on this thread but give him a bit of attention and he's posting regularly laughing his man boobs off and everyone taking the bait...

[Hectic]

Winding up or whatever it makes this thread nauseating and probably stops a lot of people contributing.

Rodgers has had an excellent first season. He knows what is required of him now and has the support of the board and fanbase. The Champions League will require a better standard of player and a bit of luck when it comes to a draw for the group stages. If drawn with Barcelona Real Madrid types most v clubs are on the backfoot straightaway
