    Also Mulgrew said half the team were hungover when we lost to Inverness which cost us the league in 2011. That lack of professionalism comes from the manager. It's no wonder Boli * off to Spain and broke covid rules

    So basically if a manager has done well for a club in the past then the fans should just put up with any poor results and performances and reminisce about past achievements.

    No manager will ever be sacked again.

    Was it that game? I thought it was after we beat Barca? Neither’s acceptable btw. That team the next year got to the last 16 under him and scored the most goals out of any Scottish team in the CL. He did win 5 trophies in a row when he came back as well.

    But that’s my point, what he has done in the past is dismissed because of how he keeps talking, his lack of self reflection. If he held his hands up, kept out the limelight for a while, stopped making excuses, a couple of years into Ange’s reign it would be everyone saying aye he absolutely * it, he recognises that but that’s not all he did, he had his highlights for us that we all loved.

    He’s making that impossible

    Pretty much why I’d never want Henrik managing us, he could relegate us and I’d still want to square go with anyone saying a bad word about him :56:

    If he had resigned after the 2-0 defeat at home to Ross County, I'd have long forgiven him now, and lay 100% of my blame to the board.

    If he left after the huns defeat at Ibrox, I'd still struggle to forgive him, but I know eventually I would.

    Instead he kept on until we were 100% out the league and refused to move, and still refuses to put his hands up and say "I got it wrong"

    I've no doubt he's done some good with us, won't deny that, but the damage he done in his last season looked like it set us back years. Ange is an absolute miracle worker, because I genuinely believed it would have taken 2 seasons to get where we currently are after Lennon's mess last season.

    Brilliantly put and it pretty much summarises how I feel about it too.

    I'm torn here, Rodgers was a snake about it. But he didn't * it up.
    Well he * up his own legacy.

    Lennon, * his own legacy, * his own character and * the club and the title.

    Yeah I'm still not letting it go, but I do agree it's wanning a little I guess.


    You're also right though, he is a * still :56:

    Where'd mulgrew say this? I've never seen it! Be definitely interested to see it.

    Wasn't that the game commons walked into the crowd and got sent off after scoring thinking all we'd have to do was turn up and win.

    This one is news to me and if it's true it's pretty unforgivable to be honest.

    Joe Ledley saying he was the best manager he played under. Just saying.

    When you see the list of other clubs he’s played for it’s hardly surprising.

    Probably due to drinking culture and lack professionalism at the club at the time. Most players nowadays don't really want that anymore

    It just doesn't feel right still going on at him. He might be a *, but he's our *.
