    Interesting in the press conference today, Brendan asked about his involvment in recruitment and the strategy. He said:

    "The guys that are currently here have worked tirelessly on identifying targets and players that can fit into the model here. It is through no want of trying. Once those guys go through that list of players who fit into the profile of how we want to work that will then come to me to ratify the player that we would want and then that will go forward to the board to look to do the deal. That's how it works."

    Interesting that he said it gets passed on to the board to try and do the deals rather than mentioning Nicholson and McKay by name like he has done in the past. I might be reading too much into it, but it feels like he's hinting that the Chairman of the Board is involved in doing the deals.

    Also worth pointing out that before that he said that the recruitment structure will be getting looked at. And he has mentioned a couple of times that the recruitment team are working really hard, but he's never given them and other kind of praise. Never said they're doing a great job. Never said they're top guys. Nothing at all beyond they're working hard and trying. Sounds like the recruitment team needs some quality additions with pace and power.

    Just watched that press conference, pretty hard hitting and straight to the point I reckon. Brendan’s well and truly called them out.
    Got the fire in his belly. Let’s see if the rats give him what he/we want

    Think that presser was * exceptional IMO. He has backed the board major, sang there praises, put his neck out by saying confident they’ll deliver what he wants… quality and finishing the window stronger than last season.

    They need to deliver that now, Rodgers has absolutely backed them majorly publicly after a summer of saying they’re same page daily meetings.


    That’s up there with Ange after Midtjalynd or however thats spelt

    Just wish we could be taken over by someone with some ambition to move us forward. Stagnated for years

    Rodgers isnt stupid.

    He's basically said "we told THE BOARD what we want. Its up to them.

    So thats a bypass on Nicholsen etc. its the board ie. * Peter Lawwell thats negotiating.

    I couldnt have asked for more tbh. Hes landed them right in the * with the "we've done our job, but we have to wait on "the board" doing theirs".

    Very cute from Rodgers.

    Now let's get these * parasites out of our club.

    Genuinely don’t believe it’s about ambition with them.

    If we were taken over by someone who knows how to run a football club, we’d be a far more ambitious outfit.

    Watching Celtic trying to sign somebody is like watching * "A place in the sun" Low offers knocked back then counter offer after counter offer going in till hopefully we get there.

    Think we'll be ok in the end but by * the board need reminding that the season started nearly 4 weeks ago

    £40k to be sexually assaulted?

    I'd have done it for half that!
