Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

I said this at the end of last season. The guy is absolute class. He knows the game and demands such high standards.
If we can’t get him to stay as manager give him the DOF role!!! My * we’d be a force with him in charge of all the aspects of the football department.

 

Brendan, the tom ford's and the gucci belt never change brendan elite level manager and absolute * box office man!

 

His Hampden record is astonishing, even when the GK misses a penalty in a penalty shootout Brendan still won't be denied a victory in that stadium, Scotland should be looking to give him the job one day for his Hampden record alone

When you also remember that since 2010 there were two defeats to Ross County, three defeats to Oldco/Newco, defeats to Hearts, Kilmarnock, Inverness, St Mirren all at Hampden, it was a proper Hampden curse, tbf to Ange he had a decent record at Hampden too bar the hun defeat, Brendan stands alone with his record in that stadium though

 

He knows that he has to deliver the Champions League or 10 in a row to fully make up for his last departure, won't be leaving until either of those targets are met

 

Think that's the feeling when he came back i don't see him signing a new deal but never know

 

Would love it, but he's still fairly young for a manager, will only be 53 when his deal is up.

Can see a big team abroad going for him next, think he would be daft going back south.

Despite all of what I've said above, we should be doing everything we can to try and convince him to stay, even if it's just for another year.

 

Hope not, he’s an elite manager and if he wasn’t a genuine fan of the club the chances of us getting someone of his class would zero. To think folk were calling for his head last season ffs.

When he’s cracking jokes about a pair of 2 grand Tom ford shoes you know he’s well in the zone.

 

BR deserves all the plaudits from the fans.

 

The football under Ange was brilliant. The football we are seeing this season is on another level. We are far better drilled under Rodgers in my opinion. I honestly want him here for the foreseeable. We need to keep backing him and let’s see what our success can look like. We won’t get a better manager to try and achieve something special.

 

Bhoys played great football right when it mattered. Fantastic result and credit must go to the manager.

That is the slate wiped clean for me. Has won several trophies and has the team constently playing some great football as well.

Not sure what tipple he celebrates with but he deserves a generous pour. Well done Brendan.

Testament to Brendan and the recruitment that we never mention MO’R. Most in here were fearful of the gap he left.
What an unbelievable coach we have.

 

I disagree.

All goes well, and the success continues and the team doesn't stagnate, if he sees out his 3 years then he goes amicably.

 

Brendan Rodgers stressed that every Champions League game is like a cup final for Celtic as they prepare to meet a team who feel their campaign hinges on the trip to Glasgow.

RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva likened Tuesday’s game to a final after his team lost their first three matches in the tournament.

Celtic have picked up four points ahead of the visit of the German side but Rodgers believes they will match the must-win mentality of their visitors.

“Every game for us at this level is a cup final,” he said. “I mentioned that right at the beginning of this competition to our players – we have eight finals to see if we can get into that play-off stage



They’ve had tough games, they’ll obviously be disappointed with the Juve game where they were at home and they lost a man and lost the game. Of course, you come into this fourth game then they’ll be obviously desperate to get points on the board.

“But thankfully we are too and that should mean for a really, really fantastic game.”

Celtic beat Leipzig at home during Rodgers’ first spell in charge but he was on the end of two defeats against an RB Salzburg team who were managed by Leipzig’s current manager, Marco Rose.

Rose also masterminded home and away wins over Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic team two years ago.

“I know how Marc Rose’s teams will play, I know what the Red Bull philosophy is,” Rodgers said. “You know they want to press, you know they want to be aggressive, you know they’re going to have physicality in the game and you also see what they’re doing back in the Bundesliga to tell they’re a top, top side.”

Celtic started their campaign with a 5-1 home win over Slovan Bratislava before being on the end of a 7-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund and then steadying the ship with a goalless draw against Atalanta.



Rodgers was happy to admit he is learning as well as his players after they produced a far more compact and connected display in Italy than in Germany.

“Listen, I think Red Bull Leipzig will be no different to Atalanta and Borussia Dortmund,” he said. “A top team right towards the top of their league, have everything that you would want in a top European side – speed, strength, power, technique.

“We really look to bring our energy to the game but also know that we’ll have to defend for a good period of the game as well and defend with the concentration and commitment that we did in Atalanta.

“I’ve mentioned it before but this group of players, I think what carries any individual or any team is the mindset. This is a team that’s mindset is to improve and to be better and we knew we needed to be better after that (Dortmund) game, me included. We were able to go away and focus on that and were much better in our game in Atalanta.

“Listen, it’s the highest level of European football, so we’re playing against a lot of teams that are superior to us and from superior leagues.

“So that challenge in itself is absolutely great, trying to find ways to gain the results that can bring you to your end point.

“It’s an amazing competition to be involved in. You have some games where you have to take your medicine. But I’m pretty sure it’s all learning and it’s no different to probably yourselves.


I’m pretty sure you don’t write your scripts first up all the time. I’m sure you draw your line through some pieces of paper and whatever else. And we’re exactly the same, where we learn, we hope to be better, improve.”

 

He’s practically a * in Scotland and he’s making £3 million a year. If I had to predict what he’ll do, I’d guess he stays here for 10 in a row and immortalises himself.

If he plays hard to get when his contract is expiring I would have no problem with upping his pay to 4 or 5 million a year. He’s absolutely worth it.

 

Give him everything and anything he wants..

We couldn't do any better..

Most complete Celtic side in years and years and years..
