    In a heartbeat. Took him only 2 seasons to build from scratch the most entertaining Celtic team I've ever watched. Would love to see what he could do if given more time.

    There are some positives obviously with him but i just see us as way more stable defensively now. We leaked goals like crazy under him but we scored bucket loads as well.

    No chance, He has that cold hearted approach and whilst on the surface appears to be getting it...he will drop you like you never mattered at all.

    No thanks

    Who really gives a * anyway, Rodgers if far more successful than him, so why would this even be an question?

    Bought absolute * from the East outwith the trio and anybody who brings Werner to a team not once but twice, needs punted for me anyway.

    I was hoping Tottenham would get the zombies. Who knows at this point where the game will actually even be played but hopefully Ange gives them another going over.

    Ange looking a bit out of his depth recently. Made an excellent start but have honestly been largely * in the last 9 months.

    I thought his signings in the summer were largely *. The amount spent on Solanke off the back of 1 season was mental

    He’s in trouble. That was a shocker of a performance against a team missing their best player, and two best midfielders.

    He’s been given money but the way it’s been spent is farcical. £60m+ on Solanke is as bad a signing as you’ll see. £130m+ between him, Odobert and Brennan Johnson.

    They look worse than they were last season. And Son looks like he’s massively on the decline.

    That Brennan Johnson is utter garbage..

    So limited. Never seen him have a decent game..

    That was their big chance and they went down pretty embarrassingly at home..

    He needed massive transfer windows which he hasn’t got. I don’t think he’ll be in the job much longer but might’ve done enough to get another job with the right support.

    Was quite annoyed he went there. I do understand why but he's never winning * all there.

    I love the big man but I’m delighted it’s Rodgers taking us in to the Champions League and not him.

    Naive at times and very one dimensional.

    I think he will be gone soon. The recruitment at Spurs has been abysmal since he's been there, don't know how much is down to him but this summer £105m on Solanke and Gray. Summer before they lost Kane and didn't sign a striker although some solid signings like Vicario and Madison were made.

    Regardless of style, one dimension etc I think one of the main issues is his players aren’t very good.

    They’ve got a who do you want as the next manager on their fan forum. Never a good sign.

    I know it's easy to say now when everything is rosy, but I think games like today show you the quality difference between Rodgers and Ange.

    Want to say I absolutely love the big man and he gave us 2 of my favourite Celtic seasons in my lifetime, but if Plan a wasn't working for him he didn't have a Plan B, his Plan B was essentially "do plan A better".

    There's been countless times over both tenures where we've seen that Plan A hasn't been working, Rodgers has clocked it and we've went on and vastly improved.

    Very easy to say this in hindsight but I don't think Spurs were the right move for him, a nothing club that'll never win anything yet expects a top 4 finish every season, I think he'd be best moving to the Bundesliga or La Liga.
