The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[laoislad]

So Rogers is on the same money as Deila? Don't be daft.He is overpaid and underachieving.

It's Rodgers. At least get his name right.

[Club Rossa]

If you're so unhappy with things Tony perhaps you'd be better concentrating on Totteringham for the season ahead.

[Franko]

We dont know details of Ronaldo or Messi's salaries but it is common knowledge they are in the super salary.bracket.I think it is accepted that Rogers is earning significantly more than his predecessors and has been promised more funds than they were.

[T Fearon]

No I don't think this was the right appointment.Business heads like Desmond and Lawwell see an ex Liverpool manager (not Roy Hodgson) as being a big name who is bound to deliver success.After Desmond being personally slighted by Rangers Directors after last season's Scottish Cup Semi Final,they sat down and crunched the numbers (which undoubtedly included qualifying for the group stages and the income stream accruing from that) and decided they could "entice" Rodgers with an abnormal salary and an abnormal transfer kitty.

The problems will start to become manifest if Rodgers does not qualify for Champions League.That will blow Desmond/Lawells's number crunching out of the water and also cause severe disappointment for the fans who expect and demand immediate success especially from a big name manager at Celtic.

To date scraping through against inferior opposition does not bode well.Reputations at Celtic are short lived.You can be Player of the Year one season and the World's worst the next.

Rodgers has already justified and paid for his salary by guaranteeing us european football up to Christmas. The champions league is obviously more lucrative but the Europa league would suit well also as there is a reasonable chance of a good run. We were v poor in Europe last year and Deila just didn't learn from mistakes. We already look much more solid this year and the team is getting more fluent by the game. I'm really enjoying Rodgers' reign so far and I am optimistic that the team will continue to improve.

Should he be sacked then?

[imtommygunn]

You have pre judged him. Are celtic still in the cl? Yes. Until then there is no failure on his part. Even then it is no failure.

You don't like him. We get it.

[T Fearon]

I don't see any fluency.I see us scraping through,two penalties to beat Astana at home,run ragged by Sammon and Watt on Sunday for large periods.Failure to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League will be a massive letdown and it will be hard to convince Dermot Desmond,a world class entrepreneur, that he has invested wisely and to win the fans back.This is not some unknown guy from Norway,being paid peanuts.This is a supposedly top class manager being paid a seven figure salary.It is time he started to repay the huge faith and funds invested in him

[imtommygunn]

Your attitude is nonsense. You don't like him and that's the bottom line.

So you'd sack him now then? In the second week of August?

[T Fearon]

No.Let things run their course.I genuinely hope he makes me eat my words.

[Milltown Row2]

Ok that's great, he was waiting on that news..... Phew he was sweating it there

[stew]

You take no not in Celtics win Tony, what is the point of being a supporter of you cannot enjoy the victories?

[tommysmith]

Why do you guys bother evening engaging with this fool Fearon?

[T Fearon]

Time is running out.Rodgers needs to start earning his corn now
