I don't usually read these rent-a-quote pieces but I agree, his ethos and his knowledge could inspire a generation.

Ah well, hindsight's a wonderful thing.
Why is hindsight wonderful?
Because if you don't have hindsight it's like looking at a mirror from behind, you can't see the future or the past, just a void. Betwixt and between, neither fish nor fowl but good for ne'er man nor beast. And that's a wonderful thing not to be in. :thumbsup:

Exciting times indeed. :rocker:
I was at a hun wedding last week. I was kinda worried as the person who invited me as their plus one had told the groom I was a big Celtic fan, really into it, blah, blah. My heart sank when they added that both bride and grooms families were really into the huns, orange order, masons etc. Worse - the wedding was in Armadale.

As the car drove down past the delights of High Academy Street we passed Windsor Hall (a puffed up scouts hut) with its Union Jack wafting high. A little further on was the Masonic Hall in all its tattered glory. 'That's it over' thought I 'if we go the other way to the reception we might never have to witness such spectacles again.' However, the church had a big union jack inside the porch and God Save the Queen was in the hymn book. I was surprised by this. I thought it was the National Anthem. I felt very low and was dreading the reception in case they got pissed and started fighting - probably with me! I felt so uncomfortable.

Well, I never enjoyed a reception so much. They were all nice enough. And they were all utterly, utterly depressed about our Brendan's appointment. Gloomy in the extreme. An ex Liverpool manager has far more kudos than an ex Brentford one. Silk vs Nylon, one might say. It was a truth universally acknowledged that a piss poor Celtic side had still won the league and they worried that the huns would be no competition next year. Rodgers could only improve the team. He could sign quality, manage well, get CFC through he qualifiers and our finances would outstrip theirs by even more millions. They were also unsure that one Joseph Anthony Barton would be sufficient to pierce the halo of Brendan Rodgers and stop us winning the league again.

It was all music to my ears. I just sat there, sipping my champagne, dreamily imagining halcyon days where all their deepest worries came true.

I wonder if he'll turn out any good?
Getting a wee bit worried that he seems to like the look of Brown & Mulgrew.
Also that he kept talking about filling the top tier.

I'm not for letting the board off the hook for their years of mis-managment.
Hoping that they are going to try turning it around & not just giving us Rodgers + the same old shampooe.

Fully expect Forrest & Mulgrew to get new deals & Brown to remain captain, none of which should happen.
If that happens then I feel Rodgers will struggle to do what he has been talking about, bring back exciting winning football & get results in Europe.

Hope that my cynicism is unfounded, but I'm so scunnered by the board that it remains a nagging doubt.

Regardless of what the support think of certain players, it would be a terrible move for him to be publicly slating our captain and one of the other most experienced players before he has even met the squad.

BR is hardly in the door, has only given a couple of interviews and already some are second guessing the up and giving him grief over something he might or might ot do :lol:

Let's give the guy a chance to get his feet under the door and .actually see some of our squad in person rather than on video.
That what a good professional manager would do!

Even if he wanted to punt every bandit he would still say good things about people, so that we could move them on :thumbsup:

Armadale - what a pit.

Stayed there since I got married.

If as you say the huns you met were nice enough you should count yourself fortunate.

Loathsome bunch for the most part.

Is there not a resonable middle ground you could inhabit between declaring him the messiah and deciding it might all be going wrong based on some paper transfer talk and a few quotes about our current squad ?

Jus-sayinCSC
Your missing my point mate.
It's the board I'm worried about.
He'll really need to be the messiah, if he is going to be required to work with what our board have been giving lately.

I'm hoping against my recent evidence of experience, that he'll be given the means to make improvements - this means moving a lot on - especially the underperforming senior squad members.
I'm genuinely worried that he'll be convinced to keep them on & then stifle any possible progress.

I've been worried about this for ages & I'm yet to be convinced otherwise, as our deterioration in every possible department proves.

It's going to take a while before I'm confident of having a team who could do what Rodgers is talking about. It'll take more than him going to a few games years ago to change that - that's just where I am at the moment.

Really hoping he will help turn us around.
