The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Franko]

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.

I'm not sure which is more worrying - that Tony would believe the nonsense he's been posting all season or that he really thinks he's winding us all up

[Applesisapples]

Why anyone pays heed to the prawn munching troll, God only knows.

[illdecide]

Tony will be sitting in work bursting his sides open that everyone is taking the bait and rising to his posts (I know i've done it in the past too)...

What Rodgers does in his personal life is none of anyone's business (he who cast the first stone...and all that sh*te)
Money does not buy you success
R Delia was a poor Celtic manager
Rodger's wage is none of anyone's business and whatever it is he's well worth it
Celtic reaching the last 16 of the CL is punching above their weight (no matter what team has done it with whatever resources)
Sevco fans now realise how far Celtic are in front of them (last year they thought they were close)
Rodgers will continue to attract players of a higher calibre to Celtic Park
Rodgers is one of our own

I honestly think thats the main reason or that hes better looking and from Co Antrim and makes shite loads more money

Just looked at the average attendances for the last 3 seasons:

2014/15 = 44,585
2015/16 = 44,965
2016/17 = 55,544

The supporters will always talk with their feet. Lets say tickets average out at £20 per ticket and an extra 11,000 tickets were sold per game. Thats an extra £220,000 per home game and if there were 20 domestic home matches in the season then that is £4.4 million in extra revenue just from the domestic fixtures not including the CL extra home games. If it is purely an argument about the managers salary then Rodgers has more than paid for himself. That's not to mention off field additional income from merchandise, TV money and other sponsorship deals.

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

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.

[T Fearon]

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.

[Dougal Maguire]

Are you just cutting and pasting from 8 months ago?
