We'll be continuing with zonal marking next season I'm told. Brendan's decision, not JK for those who questioned his input every time we lost a goal in Europe.
ZM is not the prob per se, Our execution of it is. What does JK, as defence coach, do? Genuine question. I don't think he has ever been "defence coach". He is a coach who happened to be a defender in his playing days.

BRENDAN RODGERS claims Celtic didn’t just get a manager when they appointed him. They also got a unique footballing BRAND. The new Hoops boss has opened up on his personal Bible that helped him land the job. Rodgers revealed he’s been working on the blueprint for more than 20 years and has handed a copy to every Celtic director. Hoops players were also given their own mini-dossiers and the Parkhead boss believes the end product could be BEAUTIFUL. Rodgers said: “What I gave to the players was just a snapshot of what I would expect. “This is the early part of the season when they are absorbing everything. The document is based on a welcome to the club, a personal letter from myself. “The players get a monthly calendar so they know exactly what their schedule is. It is not a day-to-day thing. “They also got the fundamentals of how we play — defensively and offensively. “Then they got the rules and regulations of how I work. From relationships with people to if they are late. “It’s a watered-down version of what I gave the senior directors and the senior staff at the club. That was a full document of my scheme of work. “I bring that into every club and then adapt it. It’s a snapshot of how I work. People then understand straight away. “I would say uniform is unity. If everyone is uniformed and you have a way of working then everyone feels part of it. “You then see the magic begin and over time it evolves in front of you. It’s great. “It takes time but you put it in place at the beginning, you see it develop and it’s beautiful. “It’s not the right or wrong way — it’s MY way. I wanted to be decisive and clear about how I work. Then if people want to employ me they will understand how I work. “Over the years I pulled them into a format and then I suppose you create a brand for yourself that people understand and fully recognise. “It’s something that I have enjoyed doing, I loved the experience of pulling it together. “But I was fortunate that I had time to do that, from finishing as a young player at 20 to getting my first job at 35 I had the time and chance to do that. “I invested time in it so I could give it to directors and staff and they can absorb what’s going on in my mind and how I think.” New Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a coach who shares a lot of Rodgers’ beliefs. Celtic already have a successful link-up with the Etihad side — taking players like Jason Denayer and Patrick Roberts on loan. Rodgers knows the ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss well and would be happy for more City starlets to head north. He said: “I have good relations with Man City and they are good guys. They want their young players to develop and to play. “They want them to go to the right club so for Patrick to come to us for two seasons is great. “Patrick is a very talented boy. I had seen snippets of him at Fulham and he was good and from what I saw of him here so far he is doing well. “Would I rather develop my own? I am pretty relaxed on that. I like to work with good players and of course you want a player to come in and be permanent. But if you have the chance to bring in a loan player, there are a couple of things for me. “He can come in and help the team but he has to buy into the team and not just see it as a loan. “But it also means there is the chance to sell the club. “There might be a point where down the line where he has to leave his club. “If he has had a good experience with you then you probably stand a greater chance of bringing him in on a permanent basis. “So I never see it as you are only developing them for other clubs. “I see Celtic as one of the great institutions in the world. The league and the market, is different to down south — 100 per cent. “But the experiences they can get at Celtic, not many down south can give them that. Which is why there may come a day where these young players might want to return. “Patrick will leave a different and a better player than when he came in. Then we will see what the future brings.” Rodgers also revealed that Scott Allan is ready to play a major role in his Celtic revolution. The Hoops beat Rangers to his high-profile transfer from Hibs last August but he barely featured under Ronny Deila. Rodgers said: “Scott will definitely stay. I like him. I saw him at West Brom, he is a good player. “It’s sometimes tough when you are young and you move south, a lot of adaptations and he had a couple of loans. “I really like what I’ve seen with him. It’s trying to give him good tactical understanding of the game. “He is mobile, he can run, he can press and hopefully this can be a very good season for him.” http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/celtic/7207306/Brand-leader-Brendan-Rodgers-plan-to-make-his-mark-at-Celtic.html

BRENDAN RODGERS is hoping to convince Tom Rogic and Stefan Johansen to extend their Celtic careers. The midfield duo are now in the final year of their contracts and have yet to agree extensions. Rodgers views Australian international Rogic as a real asset, while he believes a revitalised Johansen – linked with Galatasaray and Fulham – could suit his high-pressing style. “Both are talented players. Tom I really like, he is very good,” said Rodgers. “He has good skill and ability, but he is coming off the back of having a really bad time with injuries a couple of years ago. “Last year he was only really coming through that. Hopefully this year he can kick on again. “I haven’t seen a great deal of Johansen, but in the last few days he has been outstanding. “In terms of how I want to work he works well. He is really aggressive on the pressure, gets up to people and serves it simple. He gives good balance to the team because he is left-sided. And he can nick a goal. “Last season was difficult for him after having a great first year. This year he seems happy. I spoke to him and he has really enjoyed the way I’ve worked. “Considering that he’s only just joined he looks at a really good level of fitness. He is a naturally fit boy and how we play works well for him.” Rodgers has spent the week in Slovenia with his team and they will continue their tour tonight when they travel to Austria to take on Sturm Graz. He has been pleased with how the Celtic squad have adapted to his ways. Each player has been given a dossier on how he expects them to work and play under him. It is part of a blueprint he has built up and taken from club to club. Rodgers explained: “It was just a snapshot really of what I would expect. This is the early part of the season when they are absorbing everything. “They got the fundamentals of how we play, then they got the rules and regulations of how I work. “There is a document that outlines the parameters of how we work, to take on board the things I’m saying on the field, and see how it relates to how we play. I bring that into every club and then adapt it.” Rodgers’ blueprint goes back to his time as a youth coach at Chelsea. “My idea was that if I ever went into management I would use all the knowledge and study,” he said. “It’s not the right or wrong way – it’s my way. I wanted to be decisive and clear about how I work. “It’s something that I have enjoyed doing, I loved the experience of pulling it together. I invested time in it so I could give it to directors and staff and they can absorb what’s going on in my mind and how I think.” http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/685662/Celtic-Brendan-Rodgers-Transfer-News-Contract-Tom-Rogic-Stefan-Johansen-SPL-News

BRENDAN RODGERS last night outlined the challenge facing Kris Commons as he begins the process of slashing his Celtic squad. Hugely influential under Neil Lennon, yet largely marginalised under Ronny Deila, Commons is one of the players in the ‘at risk’ category. At 32-years-old and a high wage earner, the midfielder doesn’t appear an obvious fit for the new Hoops manager’s all-action brand of football. “Kris, or any player for that matter, has to be able to play how I want to work,” said Rodgers. “They have to be able to run. They have to be able to press. They have to be aggressive. They have to be able to touch and get up to people. “Celtic are, of course, used to having the ball but you have to get it back as well. Any player has to find that common idea and be in a team which will have one brain in the team. A collective. “The possibility is open to every player. But at this moment in time, Kris is injured so he is just worrying about getting fit – then we will see where he is at.” In a similar situation is the former Dundee United winger Gary Mackay-Steven, who failed to make the trip to Slovenia because of injury. Some of the players Rodgers has had the chance to look at, have already been told they can go. Others have been identified as suitable subjects to be sent out on loan. Scott Allan, who ex-Celtic regular Gary Caldwell wanted to take down on a season-long loan to Wigan Athletic, is not one of them. “Scott will definitely stay,” said Rodgers. “I really like what I’ve seen with him. It’s trying to give him good tactical understanding of the game. He is mobile, he can run and he can press. Hopefully this can be a good season for him.” While it is “too early” to say about one day pursuing a permanent deal for Patrick Roberts, who is on long-term loan from Manchester City, Rodgers has confirmed his desire to bring former £14-million man Kolo Toure to Celtic Park. “We will see with Kolo. He is a fantastic guy, who was brilliant for me. I brought him in as a cover player and he never let the team down. “He was an African Nations’ winner and definitely a big-game player. We played away in Real Madrid and he was Man of the Match. He was also fantastic in the Europa League Final. “He played for Manchester City and, going back, was one of Arsenal’s Invincibles playing more games in that team than anybody. “Although he is 35 now, he is one of those guys who is super fit.” https://www.sundaypost.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/brendan-rodgers-lays-law-kris-commons-celtic-future/?

BRENDAN RODGERS has revealed the steel behind the smile as he steps up the process of constructing a Celtic side in his own image. Heading into the second week of the Hoops pre-season training camp, the Northern Irishman is relishing the opportunity to get intensive work done in the forests of Slovenia. Yet for all his easy chat with staff, players and media alike, he knows, too, there is a necessary culling process to be carried out. A squad bloated by some dead wood was just one of the legacies from his predecessor, Ronny Deila. And it was as he discussed one of the most-sensitive issues a manager has to deal with – how to move players out of the side or, indeed, out of the club – that he admitted to a ruthless streak which should serve him well in the weeks and months ahead. “For me, it is always about the team,” said the 43-year-old. “That is the most important thing. There is no individual player bigger than the club. “Take what happened with Steven Caulker and Garry Monk five years ago when I was at Swansea. “We had just got promoted to the Premier League, and Garry was my captain, the man who had led us there. “He had been brilliant for me over the course of a few seasons. “But I dropped him and put a 19-year-old kid, Steven Caulker (who at that time was on loan from Spurs and is now being linked with Celtic), in his place in central defence. “I made that choice because I knew he could help the team. You take that emotion out of it and you just focus on that one question – will this action help us? “And, of course, it did. Steven came in and was terrific for us. He went to the Olympics, he played for England and, subsequently, for Liverpool.” While happy at the positive impact of that change, the new Celtic boss stresses he was not oblivious to the potentially devastating effect on a man who remains, to this day, one of his closest footballing allies. “It was tough for Garry, and I knew silence would have been the death sentence in this case,” said Rodgers. “So I explained it so he could understand exactly why I was dropping him. “He still had a very important role as the leader of the group. He was then able to get involved with the other side, which was coaching. “Since then, of course, he has gone on to be a manager himself, at Swansea indeed, and now he is in charge at Leeds United. “But listen. If the same situation arises here at Celtic, then I will do the same thing again. “If I feel the 17-year-old is better than the 27-year-old, then it will be the 17-year-old who plays – because it is for the best of the team.” Rodgers admits the fact he grew up a Celtic fan was a big factor in him heading north to take the manager’s job. He believes potential signing targets who head to Glasgow’s East End for a look round will quickly be bitten by the bug “I see Celtic as one of the great institutions in the world,” he continued. “We all know the league is different to the one down south, and the market is not the same. “However, the experiences players can get with us, well, there are not many clubs in England who can give them that. “Which is why there may come a day when these young players we have on loan – the likes of Patrick Roberts – might want to return to us on a permanent basis, which would be great.” The key for Rodgers, though, as outlined by his use of the example with Monk and Caulker, will always be that the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few. “Players who come to us, be it in the short term or on a permanent deal, have got to buy into the responsibility of being part of what we are trying to achieve for all the time they are with us,” said Rodgers. “I don’t want those who think this is just a loan. “Those who do come are always given a document from me, outlining the fundamentals of how we play in terms of offensive organisation, defensive organisation, offensive transition, defensive transition. “And they get the rules and regulations of how I work, outlining what is expected in their relationships with people down to what happens if they are late. “It is something I have picked up from all the years I have been in the job, from the days when I was coaching kids as young as eight years old to the great players at Chelsea. “It’s details. Or as they say in Spanish: ‘los detalitos’ – the small details.’ “Things like everyone wearing the same kit, not having people walking around in different brands of shorts. “That is something which has never been a problem for me, but I know it can be. “If everyone is in the same uniform, and you have a way of working as a unit, then everyone feels part of it. “You then see the magic begin and, over time, it evolves in front of you. “And so far the guys have been unbelievable. They smile, they run, they work. They press, they pass. And they have the humility. “It’s great. It takes time but you put it in place at the beginning, you see it develop and it’s beautiful.” https://www.sundaypost.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/theres-no-place-emotion-whats-best-team-says-celtic-boss-brendan-rodgers/?

In a first exchange, it is clear to see why Brendan Rodgers has got to where he is. Walking through the doors of Celtic’s Maribor mountain retreat with the sun at his back, he walks purposefully towards the assembled press back, burnt to a crisp, sitting sizzling in the corner of the hotel’s large function suite. With a shake of the hand and a firm introduction, one of the most recognisable faces and personalities of British football immediately sets about putting those around him at ease and making them feel welcome. Every question put to the Northern Irishman is carefully considered before a calm and articulate response is delivered straight back to the man who asked it. Every point and every person treated with respect. It is a character trait which in the wider context of his job at Parkhead serves him well. Appointed in May and now two weeks into his pre-season, Rodgers has already had a huge impact on not only those within his squad but to the very tip of every branch that hangs from the Celtic family tree. On their return from a summer break, Rodgers had issued his players with a document outlining what he expects from them and vice versa, from monthly schedules to what will happen if you turn up late to training. It is a thorough approach that is has also taken with the board members at Parkhead. It is impossible to get away from the notion that Rodgers’ influence goes way beyond managing a football team. “It was just a snapshot really of what I would expect,” he said. “This is the early part of the season when they are absorbing everything. Some people learn in different ways. Some will learn on the field, some will learn visually by looking at videos and some learn by reading. What I provide is different ways of learning. The document is based on a welcome to the club, a personal letter from myself. They get a monthly calendar so they know exactly what their schedule is, it is not a day to day thing it is monthly. “They got the fundamentals of how we play in terms of offensive organisation, defensive organisation, offensive transition, defensive transition. A short sharp block of information. "Then they got the rules and regulations of how I work. From relationships with people, if they are late. A document that outlines the parameters of how we work and give them ideas so that they come on trips like this and assess and read and take on board the things I’m saying on the field and see how it relates on the field to how we play. “It’s a real watered-down version of what I give the senior directors and the senior staff at the club. That was a full document of my scheme of work. “I bring that into every club and then adapt it to the club. It’s a snapshot of how I work. People then understand straight away. It’s details. Or as they say in Spanish ‘los detalitos’. The small details.” Rodgers’ management skills may well have been a crucial part in him landing the job at Celtic given the shortcomings of his predecessor. Under Ronny Deila, the Celtic squad swelled dramatically, so much so that there are now around 11 players who all could fit into an attacking midfield position. On top of that, it is vital a close team ethos is forged going into the new campaign. Thoughts will naturally drift to Kris Commons’ outburst at being substituted by Deila in Malmo last season. One would imagine a similar problem would not occur under Rodgers. When asked if he had been in a dressing room when egos have been an issue, he smiled: “Not for me. It’s never been a problem for me but it can be. I would say uniform is unity. If everyone is uniformed and you have a way of working then everyone feels part of it. “You then see the magic begin and over time it evolves in front of you. It’s great. It takes time but you put it in place at the beginning, you see it develop and it’s beautiful. “The players here have been a joy to work with. They smile, they run, they work. They press, they pass. And they have the humility. They all wear the kit, we are all unified, the media guy wears the kit too.” Already in his first game in charge – a 2-2 draw with Celje on Thursday – it showed that Rodgers is prepared to give youth a chance. Arguably the best players on the park were Stuart Armstrong, Scott Allan, Ryan Christie and Patrick Roberts. The issue of Roberts is an intriguing one. On loan from Manchester City, some Celtic fans have been critical given so much hype is being given to a player who is effectively not theirs, and is more than likely destined to return to the Etihad. It is not a view shared by their manager, however. “I am pretty relaxed on that. I like to work with good players and of course you want a player to come in and be permanent but if you have the chance to bring in a loan player… There a couple of things for me, one he can come in and help the team if he commits to the responsibility and doesn’t just see it as a loan. “But also there is the chance to sell the club because there might be a point down the line where he has to leave his club and if he has had a good experience with you then you probably stand a far greater chance of bringing him in on a permanent basis. So I never see it as you are only developing them for other clubs. "I have been at big clubs and I have been at lesser clubs. Steven Caulker, when I was at Swansea, we got promoted to the Premier League and Steven was 19. I dropped my skipper who had got us promoted, Gary Monk, and I put a 19-year-old kid in. And I did it because I knew he could help the team. You take that emotion out of it and you just focus on one question - can he help the team? If he comes and has a good experience and plays well he might just end up signing for the club at a later time. “For me it always about the team. That is the most important thing. There is no individual player bigger than the club. I wouldn’t fall out with players, I never fall out with players, I always explain to them the reasons behind the decision. If the same situation arises here then it will be the same. If I feel the 17 year old is better than the 27 year old then it will be the 17 year old who plays. Because it is best for the team.” http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/14594964.-/

It's always great and inspiring reading about Managers/Coaches philosophies and beliefs on how the game should be played.
Then we watch the players trying to implement it............

Looks like Scott Allan will get his chance. Psonally, I don't think he's good enough but we'll see.

Media lapping it up. If Ronny said the same things (and he did say much the same kind of stuff) they would have ripped him apart. As has been noted, the key thing is how the players react.

Deila is an inept charlatan. Couldn't do anything he promised. It was nothing to do with the media or Commons. People need to let it go.
Confident Brendan will back up what he says.

No way, Ronny was allowed to talk like this and everybody listened... for a while. It then became apparent that he was all talk.

The job was just too big for Ronny, a quantum leap from the Club he managed in Norway who were not much bigger than Pollok Juniors, and I sadly think it was beginning to effect his health.
I remember Tom English writing that Brendan Rodgers time at Swansea was more relevant to the job at Celtic, but he couldn't be more wrong. The budget up here might be a fraction of EPL teams, but managing Liverpool and the expectations of a massive club is far more relevant to managing Celtic.
Ronny lost the plot and the dressing room, the job was just far to big too quick for him.
Brendan Rodgers will take us to another level and I am confident we will be experiencing some wonderful nights at Celtic Park once again.
As for Ronny, I'm sure he will bounce back and be a good manager, maybe not at the top level, but he will be successful again.
Onwards and upwards.

No surprise to me Rodgers likes Allan and again no surprise to me Commons looks like exiting.

I'd love to see that dossier It's just a picture of Brendan on every page.

Wonder if the Garry Monk reference is a wee veiled warning to Broony. Could certainly be read that way. I wonder if Henderson, Allan or McGregor will be given a chance? As he specifically mentions putting in a young boy for the captain.

That would be magnificent for the reaction on here
Think Erik or Gordon would get the nod first but Tierney would be the obvious choice if it's a younger player, vice Captain for now could be good approach?
