The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

They have superior resources than all the clubs they have met,as Ronny had last year.It is up to the manager to justify his huge salary and get the best out of these resources.

I supported Ronny to the hilt but a change had to be made.Rogers is allegedly more experienced in the ways of managing a big club etc,and is earning a record salary and is being given resources that Ronny and Neil Lennin could only have dreamed of.It is not unrealistic that he should deliver the group stages of the Champions League,nor is it untrue to say he is not delivering yet..Good managers come in and make an immediate impact,eg Jock Stein,Mourinho etc.

I agree with that in the long term. But he.doesnt have a magic wand. This things take time. I've listed the reasons above and I'm not doing so again.

If Jim gavin  was appointed armagh manger next may should they win ulster and Sam next year?

Different scenario,Celtic have better players than their rivals for a place in the group stages have,and better players than all of their domestic rivals.Given his salary Rogers must deliver the league title and  at least one domestic cup and a credible Celtic performance (that is at least a third place finish) in the group stages of this year's Champions League.

So you apply logic and realism to one scenario but not to another. Says a lot

BTW...if we managed to scare through, we'd almost certainly be 4th seeds. What basis are you demanding a 3rd place finish when you haven't even seen the group?

Surely edit your post there instead of putting that reply with the more current one.

I suggest you look at the list of players lennon signed. To say Rodgers has had more resources is a complete and utter lie.

[T Fearon]

He has more resources and will be given more if he does what he is handsomely paid to do which is qualify for the group stages.

can you show us evidence of the break down in regard to resources available, against say what Lennon had at the start of his management

He doesn't have more resources. That's a lie

Can't wait to see how he attempts to present his evidence 

[T Fearon]

Lennon inherited Mowbray's squad enough said.Also he was earning a less than a tenth of Rogers salary.He wasn't able to splash out £3m on individuals.

So no evidence then? Thought so... Bullshitter

[T Fearon]

Evidence.Rogers paid £2m salary per annum has just shelled out £3m for Scott Sinclair.When did Lennon do the same?

[imtommygunn]

A whole 3 million on a player who didn't always make one of the worst ever teams in the premiership?

The opposition in the cl are spending millions but celtic spent 3 so should compete

One of his first signings was £3 million on jaurez Ffs   

He spent over £10m in his first season plus mulgrew and Ledley On frees

He also got absolutely horsed out of Europe by both Braga and utrecht that season (2 teams celtic have vastly superior resources too.....ya know the way you like to go on about that)
