    He's a loss or two away from being in the bin. He's not rated down there, by the fans or by the press, and he'll struggle to find another job in England if he goes at this early stage. He needs to go on a run now to improve their league position. If they stay where they are now he'll be gone by Christmas.

    Hypothetical: Ange gets sacked, Spurs manage to poach Brendan. Do we bring Ange home? Does Ange accept the Celtic job?

    I don't think they'll bin him as he's not miles off the top 4. They'll be pinning their hopes on him winning the League cup and Europa I think.

    Does Rodgers want to leave this club again and have more angst from us opening up sore wounds from the last departure? And to join that calamity of a club.

    Ange will probably get snapped up by another mad club in the EPL or a main land European club.

    But hypothetically yes I believe that's all probably being though of by the board

    Can tell you now Angeball will NEVER work at Celtic at Champions League level. You need an elite level of player for that tactics to work in Europe and we simply cant afford those types of players. The controlled and composed 3-1 victory against Leipzig would never have happened with Ange and his kamikaze style of football.

    So to answer your question...its a huge NO from me. He had his time and it was all very enjoyable smashing the likes of Dundee United 9-0 but he is definitely not the man to take us to the next level in europe.

    I feel like he won’t turn it around because they don’t even nearly play his style of football.

    I reckon he knows now spurs isn’t the club for him at all. They’re not small enough to do what he says like a Leicester or a Brighton, and not winners enough like us, or Liverpool or Man Utd to do what he says.

    I think he probably knew it from the start but wanted the challenge. Just the kind of guy he is. I don't think any manager succeeds at Spurs tbh.

    It’s easy to say that now but at the time we all thought Ange was that guy.

    Not me, but plenty of people pointed it out when he went to Spurs.

    Downside of failure is likely a multi-million pound payout. Not the worst outcome, and his profile has increased too.

    Wonder if he has any regrets about leaving us. He’s obviously set for life financially but he wasn’t exactly struggling to pay the mortgage when he was here either.
    Never thought Spurs was the right move for him and although it’s not over yet, it’s not looking great.

    Did Ange ever get a pay rise whilst with us? I know or think he was on a rolling 1 year and that format didn't change but was there a pay increase?

    Said before as long as we are backing Rodgers in the transfer market he's not leaving unless it's a top top job in England and after what happened with Leicester he ain't getting a top top job in England.

    Brendan would not go to Spurs if that happened, no effing way. One of the main reasons Brendan returned to Celtic is for unfinished business , that being doing well in the Champions League. And he knows we really can make serious progress in this tournament.

    So .uck Spurs and everyone else Brendan is here for several more seasons. We are on a massive green and white roll:ynwacelti

    As for Ange he can .uck off. I thought that the day he left us, he can .uck off forever.

    When I worked in Inverness, I worked with a mad Celtic lassie who on hearing Ange had left said...'that man is dead to me!' Twas mainly tongue in cheek with a dash of truth!

    Yes and ironically as he was planning on walking out it was also being discussed along with the plans for coming season/s or that was the impression we had from his side just prior to that cup final even.
    Such integrity/honesty.. so I'll not be shedding any tears for him when levy screws him over now.

    Correct me if i am wrong but was he not tempted by Leeds before Spurs came knocking on his door.
