Jodami Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Really not bothered who the beggars appoint but the interesting thing is if he has a large transfer kitty, and you have to presume he has by taking the job, then he will bring in a few players. This will mean a large amount of players will be released/made available, some of whom I would hope we might pick up wages notwithstanding.

heartsdaft101 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I just realised he couldn't beat us under McGlynn at Anfield. Who knows!

Jodami Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 ?15 million to him is half a player in the English Premiership. I'm sure he will choose the left side if given a choice. Celtic will still have a wage ceiling of around ?20k, which will dictate the kind of player they will go for. Hard to see that being any player in the Premiership or the Championship in England at current prices. ?15m will equate to buying maybe 4 players at between ?10k-?20k a week or more if they go for younger unproven types. Their squad is massive as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough being fearful of Celtic but come on, a team that includes Danny Wilson, Miller, Foderingham and Holt as starters we should expect to finish above. Rodgers should be enough for Celtic to win the league but I still believe we can do it.

He must've been promised the world to give up all that severance pay, but how appealing is it really to win the Scottish Prem (probably by a distance if the war chest thing is true) and then even if he is given that money, it still won't be enough to do a whole lot in CL?

Number28 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 How over-rated is this guy? When he went to Liverpool, he inherited a team which included Luis Suarez who was scoring goals for fun for them. It was obvious that Suarez was not going to stay at Liverpool but would go on to bigger things in Europe. Rodgers was revelling in the success Liverpool had that season. He spoke enthusiastically of his managerial abilities and concepts. Press writers got carried away with the new young managerial star. His managerial abilities should be better measured in his second season when Suarez had gone to Barcelona. Could he keep Liverpool's success going? No! Sacked! Will win Scottish league by 20 points - no great achievement. Doesn't have what it takes to do anything in Europe. Will leave at some stage for fantastic opportunity at Rochdale or Gillingham maybe?

marquis Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There's always hype when a new manager is appointed at almost every club - remember how Ronny Deila was going to revolutionise Celtic's approach and how Tony Mowbray was the best thing since sliced bread? Rodgers could be good but could also be awful. Even if he is fantastic there's no guarantee he'll skoosh the league by 20 points - that assumes there's not another team, like Aberdeen this season, that wins the majority of its games against the other clubs.

Seymour M Hersh Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Rodgers is a disciple of tippy tappy football and for 1 season had LFC playing a high press fast passing game. The fact that he had Suarez made all the difference that season. However in all his short time at Anfield he completely failed to improve a shabby defence. And when LS left he completely abandoned the fast, high press style of play and LFC struggled and got booted. Whether he's learned his lesson or not is questionable. I also don't think he'll relish the sectarian goldfish bowl and politics that is the verse cheeks and weejie media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauriesrank Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just cause he managed a team in the english premierleagueship does NOT mean, they are punching above their weight or he's a cracking appointment, all that league does is recycle managers with tried and tested boring garbage.

Jammy T Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Not an obviously offensive guy. Good for the exposure of our game to some extent.

Similar to Warburton having a lack of experience in dealing with the big pressure that goes with the old firm. A real opportunity for us next season IMO.

You said it - second season. I said he was slow out the blocks and that his FIRST season at Celtic presents an opportunity, which is what I said. He also won't be able to get a striker like Suarez to the SPL i.e. He doesn't know what is needed to succeed up here and he won't have access to the top players that he had in that season.

He took over a complete shambles what were you expecting in his FIRST season at Liverpool?!!!!! By the 2nd season he took them to within arguably one slip away from their first title in nearly 30 years. They scored 101 goals playing to their star strikers strengths. He's hardly walking into the same scenario at Celtic with their huge budget advantage. Quite frankly your dreaming. I will say this mind you, I'm truly hoping Neilson's "slow build" continues in the SPL next season like Rodgers did at Liverpool! No doubt you will tell me he's fast out the blocks due to his success in the Scottish Championship. I'll make a prediction however - you'll be on here in October/November saying that we made more changes than you anticipated and it will be next season before they bed in, get use to the pace of Scottish football blah blah.
