Well, that would be a kick in the plums. I think Celtic have got it right with Rodgers, although I would also have been happy with Moyes. Couldn't really stomach Mackay at the club.

Hopefully that won't come to pass.
Everyone deserves their chance to atone in my book.

Just tell us who you've been told then, save the rumours.

On the big news - I didn't think we'd go for him, let alone get him. Board have done well, now back him properly and watch the place fill up and the jerseys sell!

Great news, a few who have had it easy will be worried about their futures. He is the highest calibre manager we could have possibly hoped for, and would not have given us a second glance were it not for where he comes from and what our club means to his community. He is not going to be a messiah but he is the best we could have hoped for.

Welcome to Celtic Brendan.

I've got my reservations about this. Possession for possessions sake might not work against teams camped in their own penalty area.

However, Welcolme to Celtic

Welcome to Celtic :thumbsup: :rocker:


Well played Celtic. There were 2 clear, top candidates and DD has delivered one of them.

http://www.celticfc.net/news/10565

CELTIC Football Club is delighted today to announce Brendan Rodgers as the new Celtic manager. Brendan has agreed a 12-month rolling contract with the Club.

Brendan (43) is one of Europe's most respected names in football management and has previously held managerial positions at Liverpool, Swansea, Reading and Watford.

New Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: "I am absolutely delighted to be named Celtic manager. This is genuinely a huge honour for me. I have followed Celtic all my life and to be given this fantastic opportunity and to be part of such a truly great football club is a dream come true.

"I will give my new role everything I have and do all I can to bring our supporters exciting, entertaining and winning football.

"The Club has been in magnificent shape in recent years and has collected silverware regularly during this time. My objective now, of course, is to continue this work, to keep us at the top and again make our mark in Europe.

"I know what a magnificent support Celtic enjoys and I can promise our fans one thing - that I will be doing everything I can to give you a team that you can be proud of and a team that delivers.

"I can't wait to be in Paradise with our team and our fans as we all get to work."

Celtic Chairman Ian Bankier commented: "We are delighted to welcome Brendan to Celtic as the Club's new manager.

"As expected, there was huge interest in the position of Celtic manager but we believe we have chosen the outstanding candidate to take the Club forward.

"Brendan is a man with a tremendous pedigree in football management, he is someone who knows all about Celtic and someone who has a real passion for Celtic. He is also a manager who we believe has the talent, the drive and the determination to bring continued success to the Club.

"We are sure Brendan will receive a fantastic welcome from our supporters and we now look forward with real excitement towards next season as we tackle the many challenges ahead domestically and in Europe."

Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "Brendan is a highly-sought after manager and we are pleased that we have been able to bring such a high calibre individual to Celtic.

"He has a huge and genuine affection for the Club. I know Brendan feels privileged to be named Celtic manager and I know he will give us everything he has to be successful at Celtic. Above all, he will bring huge experience, knowledge and ability to the role.

"We wanted to bring one of the biggest and best names to the Club to match our own aspirations and those of our supporters - we believe, in appointing Brendan, that we have done this.

"We have appointed a special manager and we are sure he can bring some special times to Celtic."

Brendan Rodgers will be officially unveiled at a media conference on Monday, May 23, 2016 at Celtic Park at 4pm and he will then meet supporters at 6pm at the stadium.
"The club has been in magnificent shape in the last few years..."

Ruh-oh!

Welcome anyway, Brendan. How much money you getting to spend BTW?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
It's been a fun ride and well worth the money. I'm delighted with Rodgers. A real statement of intent and exciting times ahead.

Ps thanks for the pm mate :thumbsup:
You've taken this in a good spirit, now we can all get behind Brendan and get back to "speculating on done deals" in the transfer thread :lol:

Only passed on what I knew :thumbsup:

The fact we even had Rodgers and Moyes vying for the job was a fantastic position very few people could have imagined recently.

Well done Celtic and welcome Brendan. Now get us back to where we belong.
