    Aye so if Maresca gets the job over Rodgers, then obviously the decision makers need to take advice from no marks on a football forum. Cool.

    I'm not advocating for Maresca, but you can't make sweeping judgements on his ability as a manager based on one unsuccessful spell, lasting a handful of matches, when any number of factors could have transpired against him.

    The truth is that nobody really knows his level as a manager, he could turn out to be fantastic, however that uncertainty is the reason why I think his appointment is too big a risk given the upward trajectory of the club at this time.

    Rodgers 2/5. Was so close to laying Maresca on exchanges but was being greedy waiting for his price shortening a bit.

    If its gonna be Rodgers let's just get it done and maybe the board will back him this time.

    How much you think Rodgers' wages are gonna be? You think he's gonna come cheap?

    You think it might be easier and cheaper to sack Maresca of it goes * up?

    As aptly put by another poster here, he hoovered up trophies in a vacuum, those trebles were not some miracle, it's the reason Deila was handed his marching orders. Sevco are a different proposition now, and will be looking for a vital win. You think Rodgers' can handle that? Especially when Steven * Gerrard, pulled his pants down with a far, far worse squad?

    Again, people have VERY short memories and are being entirely selective with their criteria. Pointing to Conference league semi with ANY EPL side is redundant. As is an FA cup; beating the likes of Brentford, Southampton and Bournemouth to get to the final, whoopdie * doo. Needed a Motm Kasper Schmeicheal shift to win it as Chelsea battered them. I'd admire it more if he reached the final with a lower EPL side and lost it. Not a Leicester side brimming with talent.

    We had players fighting with Rodgers, claiming they were duped and lied to. We had Rodgers falling out with the hierarchy. We had Rodgers * money away on some of the WORST players I've ever seen in a Celtic shirt. We had Rodgers publicly slamming the clubs transfer policy, we had disastrous European results, we had him sneak off in the middle of a title push, and saddled with Lennon, we had to rebuild an entire squad after his tenure....

    We had ENOUGH of Rodgers. Anyone thinking of trebles instead of the reality of Rodgers final season here is sticking their head in the sand.


    So yeah, Rodgers is by far, the RISKIER appointment. Both financially, and for the stability of the club.

    I will respond to the rest of the post but I had to stop reading at this point.

    Are you being serious? So let’s get this straight, you think we should appoint a manager who would cost less to get rid of if it goes * up?

    Is that what you are saying? Ridiculous way of thinking.

    Ultimately our goals shouldn’t just be focused on bettering the huns. They should be centered around putting ourselves in the best position to play good football, attract talented young players and make a dent in Europe. Supported by a long term strategy based on continuity and a well defined style of attacking football.

    I understand that in order to do that we need to win domestically, but we shouldn’t be satisfied with simply being better than the huns and overtaking their haul. Nobody outside of Scotland cares.

    It’s that kind of obsession, complacency and narrow minded lack of ambition that got us into the mess we were in when Ange took over. Yes, we absolutely want to dominate, but not at the expense of the long term plan.

    Planning for a manager to be a failure. Never heard the likes.

    I don't think we should appoint Maresca AT ALL.

    I'm saying this bs about Rodgers will bring stability, and ppl INSANELY hoping we give him money is entirely selective criteria. It's literally ignoring the reality of his final season here.

    Neither Rodgers or Maresca should be anywhere near this * job. For entirely different reasons.

    I'm nowhere near fully on board with Rodgers but I would have him ahead of other candidates it all just feels a bit short sighted for me.

    Forward planning involved risk assessment and fallout.

    You think we should just hire a manager and assume he's gonna tear it up?

    Aye, I’ve read the rest of the post, it doesn’t get any better.

    Trying to belittle Leicester winning the FA Cup because their keeper had a great game. Ah well, I guess when we beat the likes of Barca, Man Utd etc, they don’t really count either since our keeper had great games.

    Ovb your in a bad mood today rodgers will be on a larger contract than maresca would be this is fact

    His transfer targets historically cost more money aswell than what cfg targets have cost us this is fact too so how is Brendan Rodger not a more financial consuming option

    Pretty sure McGregor has spoken highly of him and if it wasn't for Rodgers Mcgregor wouldn't be celtic captain right now IMO. There's revisionism on both sides. Some people are forgetting how well he developed players that were already there when he arrived. Mcgregor, Armstrong and Christie to name 3. Tierney as well, despite us playing him into the ground.

    I'd be more confident in our youth being developed under Rodgers than Postecoglou, actually.

    I get where you're coming from but I don't think it's wild to suggest a manager who won 7 of 8 domestic trophies presented to him and got us through 2 UCL qualifications (one with Oconnell and a 36 year old Kolo Toure at CB) is someone who I'd view as being able to hit the ground running with this current crop of players.

    I also think people belittling his time at Leicester is a bit mental. Two 5th place finishes and an FA Cup is great for them, in amongst the absolute fluke of winning the EPL which will never happen again in my lifetime.

    Stop talking pish.

    If we are going to just assume the worst, I can make things up as well. Imagine Maresca comes in, wants to change the way we play, every players hates it and they all want to leave. At least he will cost less than Rodgers to pay off though eh.
