I don't recall how much money BR is being paid to manage Celtic but it's a lot. So surely before he signed on the dotted line he would have done a bit of research of his own.?
Basic stuff really.
How much is my salary.
How long is the contract
Give me dvds of ten of last season's Celtic games,five wins,five losses and I will speak again tomorrow.

After watching those games and as a manager of high regard and experience he must have been able to write down a list of players that he didn't want, did want and ones he was undecided about, surely.
As part of research he could also visit a fans forum.
So with all that in mind and with Celtic wanting him so much surely he would have flexed his muscles and told our board that he will only take the job if player x,y and z are got rid off, surely..
We are always told that players are tough to negotiate with and it's hard to get them to come to Scotland etc etc so it's gotta be the same for managers? BR should have held all the aces but it appears that he did no negotiating apart from his salary and length of contract.
The longer that BR let's this situation with transfers ( lack of) go on the more his power within the club diminishes.


:lol: :lol: any manager going to a fans forum for his info on players would have to be nuts :ffs:

It probably wasn't planned , just Tierney charging up the park with wild abandon and everyone else having to move over a bit to cover for him.


Knowing us like .
Brendan just said on sky sports that it was a 442 that morphed into a 352 exactly as the formation above showed!
Tierney is key to this working as he has energy to burn, and it suits Lustig who just doesn't have the legs for all that overlapping stuff anymore.

How many times over the past couple of seasons we had both full backs up the park at the same time leaving Centre backs exposed, school boy stuff.

Simple changes that use the strengths of the players you have.

Just watched his press conference. His teeth are incredibly white. It's both impressive and unnerving at the same time. Also, the stuff he says concerns me. He's either deluded about the quality of player at his disposal and/or his coaching ability, or he's a very convincing liar. I hope it's the latter.

His comments after the Imps game really rubbed me up the wrong way. I'm completely unconvinced at the moment. It's a shame because I was quite happy with his appointment at the time.

He is trying to build up a trust with his players, he is not going to come out publicly and slate his players after their first competitive performance, I am sure privately he will be having different discussions with the players, it's called man management!

its you lot whinging about 1 press conference cause he didnt come out and go mental at the players after his 1st competative game that are dramatising it.

why dont we accept the result was dreadful and trust the guy to get the job done and not hang onto 1 press conference for the rest of his time at celtic.

chill out and lets not start analysing every word he says

I feel a bit frustrated. I might be on my own with this view but when Rodgers was appointed as manager I felt there would be a cast iron guarantee that he had more of a say over the players coming in and the players going out and sadly that doesn't seem to be emerging. The more he speaks the more it comes across that he's got no more influence or money when it comes to squad management than Ronny Deila had. I am happy to be proven wrong but I feel underwhelmed at the moment.

I said I am unconvinced, that's nothing like wanting him sacked.

I was happy with the appointment, but he lost his first game in probably our worst ever defeat, playing a load of players who either chucked it/were found out last season, then his post-match reaction was either ill-judged or completely wrong.

I'm more than happy to give him a chance but he's made his own problems in a single game. It's up to him to fix it, until he does I'll remain wary of him.

hes not made any problems. he has suffered a terrible defeat but hes not made any problems for himself. Hes going to have problems if guys like you are waiting for him to make mistakes.

We knew when we signed him he had a propensity for talking shampooe. As long as he was as pissed off as Everycarrot else after Tuesday I'm cool with that.

im perfectly chilled about the siuation. i have accepted the defeat last week and i am confident that he has learned from his mistakes. Others however appear to be raging he didnt come out a call biton and brown a pair of pumpkins in the post match interview.
