The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Main Street]

He coulda been a contender, coulda been a legend, not just in this life but for generations of Celtic fans, instead of just another epl managerial statistic.
Was he worse than Ronny in Europe?
At least Ronny had an excuse, he was a daft Norwegian (probably still is).

[Targetman]

Disappointed at the timing of Rodgers' decision, we have to move on and Lennon if appointed will make sure we clinch 8 in a row, as for long term I'd be happy enough with Steve Clarke but you just don't know what the decision makers will come up with!!

[Dougal Maguire]

I'd almost put up with having Fearon back for the evening to hear his views on BRexit. Good luck to Lennon, he started the 10 in a row, I'd like to see him complete it.

[Insane Bolt]

Would like to see Henrik Larsson appointed.

[BennyCake]

Makes it look like Rodgers was only biding his time until a PL team came in for him. Won't sit well with Celtic fans. Had he waited till end of season, I'm sure nobody would have complained, they'd have all come to the station to wave him off.

It somewhat tarnishes his time there and his achievements (which were very good tbh).

Rafa would be an obvious choice for a club with money and ambition, even if that club has such a puny ethos like Leicester
Possibly Rafa's not available or not willing to down tools right now or waiting for another call.

It can't be just for the spending money he would get...

Has to be his bird wanting back to Blighty... this whole thing doesn't make sense ... to jump ship for a tiny minnow like Leicester ( Ok they have millions more in spending money than celtic)  .. it does t add up from footballing perspective..

But if he goes then that's fine

As jock Stein once said.. no one person is bigger than Celtic football club

You do know they have won the Premier League more recently than Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs...... They're a massive club in relation to Celtic.

[Saffrongael]

So youse all swallowed Rodgers bullshit about "living the dream" etc ?

[cornerback]

Should go for Steve Clarke straight away.

Lennon may have issues from when he left.

Same issues of non funding that Rodgers is considering leaving for.

It coukd be a ploy to shake the board into spending money.

I can't believe he would go to Leicester. Ok more wage and loads more money to spend... but the only glory there will be getting them promoted back into English premier next season...
So I can't believe it's a pure footballing decision.
More likely his bird wants back to engerland

What are you talking about?

If they are relegated... apologies for not spelling it out

( Leicester that is..)

If Leicester are relegated from their current position I'd be very surprised if Rodgers will be given the chance to get them promoted!!

Lads the reality is the Celtic job is like shooting fish in a barrel. It's easy to someone like Rodgers domestically and the challenge has completely gone.

The board have shown they're not interested in even trying to become competitive in Europe so when you take all that in why would he stay??

[charlieTully]

Unfortunately so. Took the man at his word. Turns out he is just a hoor. Hope he gets the English team relegated next season.

[screenexile]

The hyperbole on social media is ridiculous you'd think he shagged every Celtic supporters missus. He's taken Celtic as far as he can and he's moved on... I don't see why he's gonna be such a hate figure now!

[ned]

Usual pricks out today.
BR had something good to build on but the intransigence of the board has put paid to any chance of him wishing to continue.
However, going to Leicester proves he is a complete spoofer and bullshitter and I'm not ashamed to admit he had me conned. Money is obviously his motivator as Leicester are just another in a long line of English clubs who have ridden on the crest of the EPL moneybags league.
Celtic are bigger than almost every club in England in every way except in being able to suckle from the Sky/Bt money teat.

He will do the same to Leicester, get them to a certain level then upgrade to a better, newer model.

What doesn't help him is his press conferences where he proclaims undying love and commitment for his latest club. I find him very insincere and full of corporate management speak. In his opening press conference for Leicester he is at it already.

What manager doesn't do exactly that?
