    My thoughts exactly. We could get rid now but would be as well give up any hope of winning the league by doing it because it would be someone like maloney until the end of the season.

    A lot of the problems are above him but he’s now making some basic mistakes of his own, continually putting his trust in the wrong players and has clearly created a bit of a toxic atmosphere within the dressing room with some players.

    I’d be open to sacking him if it meant getting Ange back but I highly doubt he’d touch us with a barge pole at this stage so part of me wonders what we’d hope to achieve by doing it.

    Should we * the bed against Falkirk, he needs his p45.
    Again, a decent manager gets more out these players. The tactics, subs and lack of in game management is very poor.

    Yeah I think he’s a defeat on Wednesday away from the sack now.

    Atrocious management of our situation this season, regardless of how handicapped he’s been left by the board

    Should have got his P45 after Kairat. Keeping him on, you see what happens.

    The squad is clearly not the best, it's in a terrible state.

    Also the whole atmosphere around the club comes from the top down. The board doing the bare minimum, refusing to put in even the tiniest bit of effort, expecting to just turn up and win every match by default, that filters down to the manager and the players.

    Changing the manager is like changing the wallpaper on a house that's on fire.

    Funnily, if the board wouldn't have supported him with two 5m players and went for Kyziridis for free, we be better off :giggle1:

    Hearts spent 3m, we did 15m. Rodgers can't get away with the squad is too poor. Yes, he should have been backed more but he as the manager is partly responsible for recruitment. Even with the current squad he should perform much better. McInnes is getting more more out of a group of individually worse players. So yes, there are managers who could do better with our limited squad. That doesn't mean the board gets away with it. The have to * off as well!

    The principles of our game ? Passing back and getting overrun in the midfield.

    “Motivation has never been higher”

    Yet never see a hint of enthusiasm or passion at the side of the pitch.

    We all know he was * over in the summer with the recruitment, and sales of certain players.

    Last season when backed, he took us past the CL league stage and a whisker away from another treble

    If BR now has to now go, Lawwell has to at least * off with him!!

    " Motivation has never been higher ". He's lying.

    He's terrified of getting sacked.

    That's his ego and narcissism talking.

    We will never sack a manager no chance we won’t be up for a paying whatever it would cost.

    I think he’ll walk after next Sunday. We will get hammered I think.

    That didn't answer the question tho. Are you swapping the current Celtic squad for any squad in the league?

    Rodgers has always defended his players in his 2 spells here, and very rarely has he made excuses for poor performances, but it looks more and more evident that his ego is now first and foremost in his mind.
    He's started having wee digs at the players, and can't let go of the failures of the transfer window.
    His job is to manage what we have until January, and get the best out of them.
    He's failing miserably, and gradually shifting blame off himself.
