Brendan Fraudgers!

91*

 

I heard this as well at the time. That's why Dembele was * off

 

So how come Lenny is in charge and not Moyes if this has all been planned?
Rest sounds plausible.

 

Good question !

 

Point proven, eh?

 

See the more I sit here and think about this wee *, the more enraged I am becoming by the second. I know I shouldn't let him bother me, but the * and his name is everywhere the now...

So, Brendan complained he wasn't backed, eh? Right well let's take a shot at this one...


Told us when he came in he was looking to trim the squad, look for his next "£10m player from the academy" and only bring in players that would add to the quality of the squad, not just add to the numbers. So, in a squad he inherited that was already carrying extra fat, the players that came in during his time (in no particular order, and if I've missed anyone out please add) were:

Moussa Dembele
Kolo Toure
Scott Sinclair
Dorus de Vries
Christian Gamboa
Eboue Kouassi
Jonny Hayes
Kundai Benyu
Olivier Ntcham
Odsonne Edouard (loan, then permanent)
Marvin Compper
Lewis Morgan
Charly Musonda
Scott Bain (loan, then Bosman)
Jack Hendry
Emilio Izaguirre
Daniel Arzani
Youssouf Mulumbu
Filip Benkovic
Oli Burke
Timo Weah
Vakoun Bayo
Jeremy Toljan

Plus Maryan Shved (signed, loaned back to club)

Then adding in (what is believed factual) bids of £10m for Paddy Roberts and somewhere in the region of £6m for Timo Castagne, and existing players such as Gordon, McGregor, Forrest, KT, Brown etc etc all being tied down on long-term deals.

Then going back to when he was appointed, there was multiple outlay put out on financing both HIS arrival (and subsequent 4 year contract/wage rise believed to be £65k p/w) and a huge backroom team (off the top of my head Davies, O'Driscoll, the sports science guy, Toure and the unmitigated disaster that he himself was personal for - Lee Congerton).

The * had an absolute cheek to moan about NOT being backed - he was HEAVILY backed, maybe not to the extremes that we would all have liked, but still given adequate resources, and absolutely made an * of at least 50%.

*.

 

You could easily argue less than half his signings have been successful

 

In Scottish terms far, far more than adequate !

 

Mate of mine is a big fan of them.

 

From 22 European ties “proper”, Rodgers mustered just five wins. Whereas Neil Lennon and Gordon Strachan – twice – propelled Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League, Rodgers found himself generally helpless against serious opposition... Rodgers was very good for Celtic but it would be a chronic error to deny the reverse is also true. The club has no serious cause to mourn his loss......see this from the guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/feb/27/brendan-rodgers-reputation-celtic-leicester-europe

 

To deny his success here would be pointless...

 

As I mentioned, he coached existing players to make them better, he couldn't spot a player to buy if they come and bit him in the *
...gift of the gab and a waste of money spent on crap players

 

They fully deserved their victory of Leicester............no fluke result

 

The reason Harry Brady has been quiet recently is probably because 90% + times he is quoted on here he just looks like a total *.

 

BR : Footballs Richard Nixon...trickie dickie

 

Nobody has denied his successes.

But to deny his failings and faults would be equally as pointless.

 

So did Lenny(Vic & VVD), so did Ronnie(KT & Johansen)

 

Brendan better pick his holiday spot carefully this summer. I would suggest Syria although then again there's still probably a good chance he's going to bump into an irate Celtic fan.The Celtic family is a big one you would'nt want to * them of.

 

Funny he just mentioned on sky he's not going on holiday this year because he's worried what John Patrick McFeniany is gonna say to him- "Heya Brendan mind if i have my photo taken with you, thanks for the memories"
