Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

While everyone is indeed entitled to an opinion on the success of the board or not, what gets me is the ones who are convinced they know better and constantly go on and on about how the board are full of individuals who are not fit for purpose, useless at their jobs, only interested in their salary/dividends, continually * up transfers, lack the vision to run the Club and on and on the list goes.
The problem here is they utterly ignore the board have been selected and approved by a billionaire who probably knows a few things… and have/are all successful individuals in their own right I’d imagine… while those making the most noise probably didnt even run the school tuck shop but they know how to run a football club better.. football manager really does have a lot to answer for

 

That’s me done with this * board… * useless * need chased….

 

Agreed.

Also a guy like Rodgers was never gonna come out and say he was absolutely fine with the window. He’s got too much of an ego for that. IF things did go pear shaped in the league he has an already made excuse to fall back on, so of course he was going to mention publicly he wanted another striker. Everyone knows though we have more than enough as it stands to see out the league.

 

There's no doubt we're a well-oiled successful business, staffed by competent business people..

However, when you fail to deliver the bare minimum that the manager asks, the minimum that any ordinary fan looking on can see is required.. then it's clear that business acumen doesn't always translate into the footballing world..

Whether we've run a tuck shop or a FM team or whatever..

 

Sorry, mate.

None of this makes sense because you’ve never ran a football club.

May as well just shut the forum down.

 

Right. Successful individuals are always bang on and shouldn’t be held accountable.

Don’t know what world you live in, but there’s a bit of a gap between billionaires, and folk who haven’t ran a tuck shop, or whatever other term you want to use for the subservients who aren’t allowed to discuss what they can see with their own eyes over a sustained period of time.

 

So what if that other club was open to selling. Suddenly they came into money. (And they did) so back tracked and refused for any price (going by recent director comments they did) what have we meant to do? Sure we can go buy some backup palma, but rodgers doesn't want the sqaud littered with *. So we wait. We've now time to formulate a plan. Transfers are never simple, especially if your going after a high calibre standard of player.

What the board done wrong was selling before getting a replacement in. However I bet that deal is the only reason they let us get jota. So imo * happens, but atleast the type of player we're signing seems to be alot better than recent years.

 

Whatever way you look at it. Kyogo left (whether he was playing pish or not) and we have failed to replace him WHEN the manager publicly wanted one in. That's a failure and the recruitment team, board or whoever else deserve to get pelters for it. It doesn't make you any less of a Celtic fan.
We went for Kvistgaarden and didn't get him (that's fine it happens) BUT we should have 3 or 4 others lined up scouted and ready to enter negotiations with. Should even have a loan list ready to go for emergencies no? Or is that wrong?
Just seems very * to me

 

I stupidly thought we'd changed, as the summer window was excellent.. but even then it was last day of the window stress.. which highlights how inept we can be..

It's as if they realise we need a DoF but have appointed Tisdale as a sort of jack of all trades Head of Footballing Operations which allows them to maintain total control of the direction of the club..

There's no sign Tisdale has been able to influence anything as of yet..

Whilst our CEO remains silent, always..

 

The manager asked for a striker and further clarified that yesterday. We didn't get one

He also laboured the point yesterday we knew Kyogo was wanting to leave for months. We had no plan in place for a replacement

He wanted to come out the window stronger and acknowledged yesterday we come out this window lighter

He also stated the squad as a whole is tighter than he wants it to be.


Thats coming direct from the horses mouth. The fact we're at the stage of not being able to have opinions because we've never ran a club or dealt with transfers is just daft. What is also daft is this weird positive spin that some people are putting on the fact we didn't just sign a striker for the sake of it as if that is deserving of praise

 

Aye, that's it..

What's the vision every head of an organisation publishes a vision, strategy etc.. the lack of communication and transparency has always been an issue..

If they're not careful I'll start bumping and necropost my old DoF or Fan Ownership threads
