Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

From 2003 to now, I don’t think Aberdeen etc were the biggest challenges for us. One of they seasons the not challenged is thrown at us we got the best ever CL season for a Scottish club as well, most points in group stages, most goals. And then yes, we * it after that by again going cautious as *.

it is downplayed the era we’re in for me mate, they’ve had something like £120m loss in the seasons we got 4 trebles, to try and match us. Eventually the one we cared about majorly they got in a weird as * season, that they absolutely nearly broke themselves to do again.

There is absolutely 100% stuff I’m seething about and I want him the * away from the day to day running of the club, I wanted Bankier the * away majorly as well btw, and I’d swap him back in at this point.

The depressing thing for me is I think we are actually genuinely trying, I don’t think BR would be back here if we weren’t. But the guy in the job just before BR forced it to happen, he made direct professional good business revolve around the club on his own.

He’s left and he’s doing the same to Spurs, a club that isn’t renowned for that either.

And we have a guy in place with a superb pedigree in the game, who is respected at every level through our club, has the favour and ear of Dermot. And we’ve went back to * at it.

 

He’s no daft is he, he’s not included Lawwell as a boardroom guy there. If he says great relationship with him as well, fans get more annoyed. Not mentioning him, also puts himself out there as more in charge signings wise, which is a thing he’s been saying since he’s been back.


but he ends that interview contradicting his ‘need quality’ talk in November/December

 

I didn't walk away from Celtic mid season *

 

What happened to brendan bullshitter " hopefully 2 in early "?

 

That would be Brendan bullshitting, so… nothing happened to him? He brendan bullshitted and kept existing?

 

After this interview, one has to wonder why Rodgers came back. The board won't budge on their strict financial criteria, and Rodgers is not exactly skilled at working with meager funds. We are not a club that should be hiring Rodgers in the first place, if we aren't prepared to match the appointment with a transfer funds and wages expansion.

 

The guy before Rodgers was doing it without Peter Lawwell in a position of power. We are acting the same way now as we were prior to Ange. Has that all been down to the managers? It’s no coincidence for me mate, there’s too many pieces of evidence there to suggest that Lawwell is playing a major part in how this club is being run both now, and prior to Ange.

I also never said since 2003 we had to beat Aberdeen etc. I said for a large spell we did. That is a fact. The last 12 years has undeniably been the easiest time to dominate Scottish Football. Which we have by the way, I’m not disputing that. It can’t be disputed it’s been the easiest time either though to put it into context.

The fact those horrible * have been down the tubes, created a new club and have reached a European final whilst we have been unable to win a European knockout game in the same time and well before that is nothing short of a disgrace.

 

It's his birthday today - will the club get him any presents

 

Birthday presents for males over 50 are like new LBs. Not to be relied on. I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

I don't see a contradiction mate. He's still saying he wants to bring quality in, just that it's not that easy.

FOr me though he's clearly accepting full responsibility for any signings we make during that interview so maybe lawwell not as much involved as some would like to think.

 

rodgers waffling a lot of * again about why we have failed yet again on the recruitment front ,no * is demanding £20m players and no * is demanding signing more squad players pretending that there is a scarcity of players that would improve our first team available for under £20 m in the world of football is * bullshit

 

Not sure why he's mentioning £20m players at all. No one I've ever spoken to or read online has asked for a £20m player. Ever.

Nice he at least then acknowledged that £6-7m players are attainable. Much like we've been told for many years now. But we hardly ever push that boat out.

The fact we can all name them on the one hand, over the course of about 8-10 years, shows you how few there are.

£6-7m players shouldn't be an outlaying exception.

See you here in May..

You better wise up you..

 

People can say he's been shafted in the window but he has CCV, Scales, Kyogo, Bernardo, Cal Mac and O'Riley. The other clubs managers would throw their gran to the wolves to have them. We shouldn't just getting by.

 

Our transfer policy is rotten but Rodgers also has to take some responsibility for how poor we look against really mediocre teams this season. That performance against ross county was rotten - no pace or energy or bite to the team at all. We have about 25 players in our squad that would walk into that ross county team. Really poor.

 

Yet, he said there's merely hope of a few signings, no expectations. He's been told there won't be any strengthening of the first team. It's up to him to tolerate it or pack his bags.

 

Style of football is woeful. Makes good players average the way he has us spreading the ball along the backline all day long with little to no attacking threat coming from it.

 

I 100% trust him in games against the huns, he has their number and they're petrified against him.

Problem is, I don't really trust him against any other SPFL team. Today should have been a day to increase our goal difference, yet it ended in a nervy 1-0. Our home form has been utterly abysmal in general this season.

I give him some leeway as I do geninenly think this squad is abysmal and in need of about 3/4 new players, and he can't do anything about Bernardo missing a sitter and Palma missing two penalties, but it's torture watching us play now.
