Arsenal allegedly chasing Brendan Rodgers to replace Wenger.

Arsenal would be a brilliant fit for him given the way he lkes to play, I think he really needs a strong, defensive minded number two he will listen to, he is a fantastic coach of attacking players but defensively he is not that great and could use a hand in my opinion.

I could see him in that job and would hope he did well, that said we will see, I hope he stays at Celtic in the summer but if he won the triple two years in a row and made the CL group stages 2 years in a row, what more can he do at Celtic Park?

Unless he wanted to cement his place in history with completing the ten in a row, but somehow I don't see him hanging around for another 4 seasons.

At least every few pages! FFS.
The man is a multimillionaire, he has already managed two of the biggest clubs in European football, he is still in his forties, he is in no rush to go anywhere. Stay at Celtic for ten, leave a lasting legacy, already had a record breaking season. Double treble is very much on. Plenty more to come. Then he will have twenty odd years elsewhere if he wants. Give it a f**king rest.

Balls Ned.

The man lost a wee bit of credibility at Liverpool. Went to Celtic and got it back. He wants to be in the EPL make no mistake about that and no amount of him being a Cetic supporter as a boy will change that.

As well as this BR will see it the opposite as you do. Off to EPL where he can realistically mount a challenge for European honours. Maybe in the next ten years switch clubs a time or two, and you know what. Back to Celtic in his early 50s where he wont even need an interview. Wind himself up there till hes 55.

Sorry...I only support one soccer team and that's Celtic but BRs ambitions go further than that. He won't be at Celtic Park next season.

Not one bit of this is based on anything other than what you think. Rodgers will be at CP next season. And the season after

[bannside]

Well tbh Brendan didn't exactly tell me this himself. But I stand by what I say having spoken to him on numerous occasions in the not too distant past. And more recently to a couple of his brothers. Is that a bit better for you?

If he is at CP next season I will be pleasantly surprised. And if so the three years will do him because make no mistake he hankers to be back in EPL.

I guess we shall wait and see

Perhaps you are "in the know" bannside, maybe that's bs. I'm going by what BR has said numerous times himself. If what you say is true then I will have lost a lot of respect for him unless circumstances behind the scenes have changed drastically.

If he wins the treble again and wants to leave because he believes he needs a new challenge I would be fine with that and understand it, I would say that I hope he is honest about his reasons for leaving, he is capable of talking awful shite at times but if it comes to that I would hope he ould be genuine.

If I were him and my stock was high given what he has accomplished at Celtic I would probably want a new challenge to if, and only if, the board was not giving me the money to compete at the next level, i.e European football, Celtic should never pay one penny more than they can afford but if I am BR I am upset that I cannot sign better players because of financial constraints when the club is loaded.

Calm your jets we're all just speculating including you.

f**k all to do with being a millionaire, a highly motivated person like Brendan Rodgers has a personality type that needs to be challenged, now hes on course to win double trebles and completed a season unbeaten, basically everything that there was a chance of him winning. I'm not sure entering Europe every year with only a punchers chance will be enough of a draw to keep him about.

I reckon he will stay again next season but you're full of hot shite if you believe when a top spot comes up in the next 2 -3 years he'll not be very tempted. Nothing to stop him over his 20 odd years else where to come back either.

[illdecide]

We're all getting our knickers in a twist over something we don't need to worry about, players come and go and managers too. Thats a fact and it will always be the case, people thought after H Larrson moved on that it was the end of days but life went on and if BR decides to move on i'll wish him all the best as he's been one of our better managers. If he stays we'll support him all the way, no one man is bigger than our club and thats the way it should be.

I can't wait for this Sevco v Celtic game coming up, it's actually perfect for Celtic as we're not playing that great and they seem to have improved so sets it up perfect for us as they're at home and now only 6pts behind a lot more is expected from them whereas before they were under no pressure to perform as nothing was expected. Celtic will be targeting this game and will be ready to hand out anothetr lesson as they've done every now and then whe the second place team thinks they're catching us up...This will be a 2-0 or 3-0 game for us...COYBIG

TEN Things Only A Celtic Fan Will Understand

For most of us, we support Celtic from a young age and follow the team year after year.
Throughout the highs and lows, we experience it all and here are just TEN things you're likely to identify with/know/experience if you're a Celtic fan.

1. You ALWAYS look at the linesman/Ref immediately after Celtic score an important goal because you're used to 'honest mistakes.'
2. You don't fancy our chances against Rosenborg in a qualifier but EXPECT us to beat Bayern Munich by at least two clear goals in the group stage.
3. You're used to being lumped in with sectarianism when you've never sung an anti-religious song in your life.
4. If you wear your Hoops abroad you're getting at least one comment from a foreign bar/cafe owner saying "mon the hoops" or something to that effect.
5. On that same holiday, you'll see a wee growler at the poolside with a union jack towel.
6. That moment when the music fades out and a full Celtic Park sings You'll Never Walk Alone makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
7. You're polite as f**k when you have Celtic colours on because you're representing the club and our supporters.
8. In a game of football down the park, you've tried to emulate wee Jimmy Johnstone or Henrik Larsson at some point in your life.
9.Doesn't matter what age you are, you can rhyme off the Lisbon Lion team that won the European Cup.
10. You chant SEBO when someone makes a complete a*** of themselves trying to shoot.
