Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

Brendan should have walked after that transfer window. Has he the balls to go up against the board. .. nope

 

For the board to appoint a total yes man in his place?

 

Don't think brendan is any different really. He was saying they bled for the club I wouldn't want to wait for a transfusion off they *

 

Some of our support can't see the wood for the trees. How many times will we have these same conversations under different managers.

Rodgers made it clear to anyone who would listen he wanted players for weeks. He then went on to say when the sack the board chants starts it usually means sack the manager and folk couldn't understand why he said that fast forward 2 weeks from those comments and look at it he was basically forewarning this was a possibility. His comments on bleeding for the club I have no doubt he's had his knuckles rapped for airing his frustrations and been told to walk it back

 

After the next saga regarding Maeda coming out today, I think those who have been going in 2 footed on him about our CL exit should have a little rethink. To just sit and say “He should be getting more out the squad” is a very simplistic way of looking at it.

 

It's quite telling of the situation we're in just now that after how we all reacted to Rodgers leaving in his first spell that a fair amount are advocating he walks away again to make a statement!

Perhaps some revision needs to be had regarding his first exit - clearly encountered the EXACT same * he is now.

 

He left last time because he had an offer from an EPL team, same as Ange did after him, I really don't think there's ever been more or less to it than that, some people tried to spin both leaving into weirdo dramatic narratives about either the board forcing them out or the manager betraying us by leaving, when going from scotland to england is simply a massive step up that most in the game would be daft to turn down.

 

Yes he left because he had an offer from Leicester.

He was also shoestrung with several transfers. Hence why we ended up with * like Commper, Izaguirre (again) and Shved.

 

Both Rodgers and Ange left the club for the same reason and Rodgers will again end of this season.
They both aren't stupid though and only left when they had another job lined up.

The offer doesn't come for either of the two of them if they aren't actively out there with their agents drumming up interest and telling clubs they are interested.

They were both interested in moving on because of the issues we have seen time and time again at our club.

Surely we aren't gonna deny there are major issues at our club in how we treat managers and staff and how we operate towards the footballing department of the club?

Need to keep a close eye on BR as well this season. If he's not interested, he needs gone pronto no matter how useless the board is.

Very important.

Here's what i think about Rodgers and this was my fear 2nd time around and paying attention to his career outwith us.

I don't think he's a good man manger at all. Its the same story at every club he manages - he comes in, sounds like he knows what he's talking about, gets the confidence up and things are rosy. but within a year or two, when difficult situations start to arise, some losses, players not happy about not featuing etc, possibly some broken promises or just not handling situations with integrity and honestly (because really he's actually a wee bullshit artist) he just does not know how to manage these scenarios well and i think that rubs off on the squad who get wise to him.

Remembering his 1st term... Let's not forget we looked shambolic in the weeks leading up to Rodgers walking. Wantaway players in the squad... Confidence shattered with no clear plan on the pitch... we had then to rely on Lennon to come in to try and restore squad confidence and get us over the line that season .

Don't get me wrong, the biggest issue at the club is clearly how we are run at board level and all that entails (that's on another thread) but i genuinely think Rodgers race is run and he should also be replaced.

 

Hard to tell in the case of Maeda... although maybe Rodgers was a factor? Kyogo certainly wasn't a happy player under him.

khun was bursting to leave - was he managed properly?

You then think of his fallout 1st time with Boyata and then the way Dembele reacted when Rodgers left, and the scores of ex players who almost mock his ways...

I just fear he is not a very good man manager and lacks integrity. I can't shake it

 

Go up against them?

He was defending them for the past 2 weeks

 

It really is guesswork mate and I'm totally aware of the bigger issues that have effected the current squad and squads in the past since Lawell/Desmond have been involved at the club in terms of how we go about our business .

No question Rodgers does not take the full blame for the situation were in right now..But i do think there is something that should be considered here in terms of what we've seen of how he manages squads (not just at Celtic) and how things always seem to unravel wherever he goes.

 

So that's 3 players. Maeda, Kyogo and Dembele all told they could leave and then blocked.

Now we know it's not the board blocking these deals, they * would sell their granny if there was a hint of a profit.

It has to be Rodgers.

Again this shows the absolute stupidity of allowing that auld * Desmond to appoint managers that the board don't want.

Aye the board are a shower of * as we all know but id imagine Rodgers is an extremely difficult guy to work with.

He knows the structure and model of the club, even more so in his second spell, yet continually wants to fight against it.

It's not a coincidence that we are back to were we were in summer of 2018 before he left the last time.

 

Im not BRs biggest fan but in fairness most managers dont last long nowadays.

 

I think the only thing to help this team with the * going on in the backroom between manager , board and players is to change the system from the * system were playing now.
