He comes across well in that, he's much more down to earth than I thought he would be, I always had the impression he was a bit of a David Brent type.
How come he's talking about schools, I thought his kids were grown up? Hes got a young kid to his new burd I think

I know it's a completely different kettle of fish at Celtic, but I was looking at Rogers signing record during his time at Liverpool. 33 players signed, for a total of £292,050,000 There really is a load of shampoo on that list. In some ways - maybe it's a good thing he won't have anywhere near that much money to waste at Celtic. His biggest challenge will be getting the most out of the players we currently have (contrary to some - I actually think we have the basis of a decent side. Just needs to offload some of the shampoo, and supplement the squad with a few important signings).

Liverpool had a transfer committee to decide on signings. Aye, the same committee which he said he had full veto over before he started signing shampooe players and totally misusing the good ones, and blamed them later...
The Liverpool transfer committee gets a hell of a lot of stick for signing lots of good to excellent players. Brendan struggled to adapt to them and make them see it his way.
Glad he has full say here as he has no excuses now.

Is it any coincidence that the sun hasn't stopped shining since Hibs won the cup and Rodgers got appointed?

Brendinho's transfer dealings at Swansea evaluated. Spoiler: click to toggle Brendan Rodgers' remarkable transfer dealings... from £11.6m at Swansea City to £279.9m at Liverpool FC BY SIMON GASKELL
Just how do his expensive dealings at Liverpool compare to his moves in the market while in charge of Swansea City?
Following the arrivals of Benteke, Firmino, Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez, it means he has already spent £70m this summer with a tribunal still set to decide a fee for Danny Ings.
In three seasons and four close seasons as Reds boss, his total outlay is £279.9m although that is offset to some degree by departures like Luis Suarez to Barcelona (£70m) and Raheem Sterling to Manchester City £49m).
His record in the transfer market was questioned last season, with Alan Shearer contending that only one of his plethora of Liverpool signings - Philippe Coutinho - had been a success.
But just how do his dealings compare to his moves in the market while in charge of Swansea City between 2010 and 2012?
And how has he adapted from operating on a relative shoestring to having a vast war chest at his disposal?
Below we look back on every transfer Rodgers has presided over during his reigns at the Liberty and Anfield, analyse which players have been hits, which have been misses and how his recruitment has rated overall in South Wales and on Merseyside respectively...
Swansea 2010/11
Scott Sinclair (Eventual cost £1.5m from Chelsea)
Yves Ma-Kalambay (Out of contract)
Kemy Agustien (OOC)
Luke Moore (West Brom £750,000)
Leon Britton (Sheff Utd, £400,000)
Ryan Harley (Free)
Ryan Harley (0 apps) Promising midfielder Harley was signed by Brendan Rodgers in January 2011, but didn't play a Swans gamePromising midfielder Harley was signed by Brendan Rodgers in January 2011, but didn't play a Swans game
LOANS
Frank Nouble (West Ham)
Marvin Emnes (Boro)
David Edgar (Burnley)
Jermaine Easter (MK Dons)
Fabio Borini (Chelsea)
Tamas Priskin (Ipswich)
Spend: £2.65m
The signing of Sinclair - a man whose qualities Rodgers was aware of from his time working with him in Chelsea's youth team - was absolutely inspired.
He was the Swans' attacking spearhead, scoring 27 goals in all competitions including the hat-trick that sealed promotion in the 4-2 play-off final win over Reading. The loan for Fabio Borini proved astute business; he chipped in with six goals and won a penalty at Wembley.
Bringing Leon Britton back was just as pivotal with the diminutive midfield man crucial to the possession game Rodgers established.
Luke Moore and Kemy Agustien also contributed though Ryan Harley never played a game and reserve keeper Yves Ma-Kalamby left at the end of the season.
Mostly good business.
Transfer market rating: 8/10
Swansea 2011/12
Michel Vorm (£1.5m Utrecht)
Danny Graham (£3.5m Watford)
Wayne Routledge (£1.75m Newcastle)
Leroy Lita (£1.5m Boro)
Michel Vorm: The Dutchman was a major reason why Swansea established themselves in the Premier League after joining ahead of their first campaign in 2011Michel Vorm Fede Bessone (Free Leeds)
Jose Moeira (£100k Benfica)
Darnel Situ (£250k Lens)
Gerhard Tremmel (OOC)
Curtis Obeng (Wrexham £200k)
Rory Donnelly (Cliftonville £150k)
Vaneglis Moras (OOC)
LOANS
Steven Caulker (Spurs)
Josh McEachran (Chelsea)
Gylfi Sigurdsson (Hoffenheim)
Spend: £8.95m
Michel Vorm wasn't someone many people knew about when he arrived but he proved himself one of the Premier League's elite stoppers and an absolute steal for £1.5m.
Wayne Routledge also represented good business, especially given the way he has continued to develop as a player and integral part of the Swans' side after Rodgers' departure.
Danny Graham was the marquee signing at the time , costing £3.5m from Watford. With some doubts about how he would adapt to the Premier League, he paid that fee and more back with 12 league goals and was eventually sold for a profit to Sunderland.
Gylfi Sigurdsson had a huge impact after his winter loan and Steven Caulker was assured at the back. In the fullness of time, the £1.5m paid for Leroy Lita and other fees paid for players who were seen as ones for the future did not work out.
But still a brilliant season of signings, especially given so many clubs get it wrong when they are promoted to the top-flight.
Transfer market rating: 9/10 David Edgar on loan? Rodgers out

If he thought that big clown who was at Hibs was a keeper after having both seen him at Chelsea and presumably playing in Edinburgh, I'm having reservations

Yep, that's the best reason to be glad he has a greater remit. It's always a good thing to have no excuses - means he can be fully committed to the players he brings in, no preconceptions, no disagreement before the player has kicked a ball. It wasn't meant to be a negative, mate.

He's so much more reserved than he was at Swansea or Liverpool, I guess maybe he has learned the lesson from talking a big game before and getting slated for it, hopefully looking for his teams to do the talking on the park for him here.

His biggest challenge will be getting the most out of the players we currently have (contrary to some - I actually think we have the basis of a decent side. Just needs to offload some of the shampoo, and supplement the squad with a few important signings).

Yep, that's the best reason to be glad he has a greater remit.
It's always a good thing to have no excuses - means he can be fully committed to the players he brings in, no preconceptions, no disagreement before the player has kicked a ball. It wasn't meant to be a negative, mate. Doesent matter, if he does well it will be off his own back but if he struggles it will be because his hands were tied, its the (current) celtic way.

He's so much more reserved than he was at Swansea or Liverpool, I guess maybe he has learned the lesson from talking a big game before and getting slated for it, hopefully looking for his teams to do the talking on the park for him here. Possibly because of his attachment to the club? Might not want to upset family, or undermine the history of the club imposing his personality upon it in such an outward fashion as perhaps he did at Liverpool and Swansea.
