Delete the link. Its just clickbait to provoke reaction. Don't even have to read it to know the jist of the bitterness.
I'll be disappointed if he did finish his article with "All hail Pedro".

Really good fans Q&A recorded last night with BR on the TwentyMinuteTims podcast. Available here.
Good to see he's identified the areas of the team he wants to strengthen. Pretty much the same as the consensus on here; centre back, a number 8 type midfielder and a powerful and pacey winger.
Interesting answer on the Griffiths situation too.

Why would he do that?
He supports Hearts FFS.

Interesting answer on the Griffiths situation too. he gave some good detail on the pitch improvements also. Theyre going to totally dig the whole thing up this summer and put down a new base layer. This is quite key apparently. Then they will add a top layer of turf, which will then be replaced with a new turf surface during the 2018 winter break. Finally, they will put down the Desso surface next summer. There isn't enough time to lay the Desso surface this summer due to the CL qualifiers.
Overall, the surface will steadily improve over the next 12-18 months

Go on . . . . Goes against the grain of many on here, by saying you can't just drop a striker if they have a couple of dry games. Need to let them build confidence again and you can't drop them out the team. Think I agree with that too.
Also says he wants three top strikers here, and very much wants Griffiths to be one of those three.

Podcast been taken down? Think it was a "Private" Q@A in which case they tell you not to record anything.
Somebody possibly having their stones booted for doing so?

Anyone grab it before it was taken down? What's the point of doing these things, if the fans can't access them? Pointless, no?

Brendan Rodgers insists Moussa Dembele will definitely remain a Celtic player for the club’s Champions League qualification campaign - and he’s confident of the striker staying until the end of next season. Celtic’s bid to join Europe’s elite int the group stages for the second season running will begin on 11 or 12 July and finish on 22 or 23 August. Speaking at a Celtic Q&A, Rodgers assured fans the club will not be selling their star striker before that time. When Dembele first arrived at Celtic Park, Rodgers envisioned the youngster staying for two years before being sold on. The Parkhead club are guaranteed to make a huge profit on the player they signed from Fulhan for a compensation fee around £500,000. Despite reported interest in the Frenchman from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, Rodgers still maintains Dembele will likely be a Celtic player until the summer of 2018. He said: “I believed when Moussa came that he probably had two-year cycle. That’s what I saw. For me, I still think that’s the case. All the conversations I have with him I have no doubt he loves it here. “He needs another year of Champions League experience and the confidence of scoring goals and playing for such a big club, and probably then it’ll be time to fly. “That’s the modern game. The big clubs in Europe are always crying out for a centre forward. “It’s just a natural process where if you’re on X amount of money and someone offers you Y amount of money, and the club get offered a ridiculous amount of money then you have to respect that. “That’s unfortunate. I don’t like it. For me, this is a big club and we should never have to sell anyone. But because of money that is not the reality. “If it’s the right thing to do and all parties are happy then it’s our job to make sure we’ve got the next one coming in. “To circle it back, he’ll certainly be here right up until Champions League qualification. If there’s interest then we’ll sit down and talk about it.” http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/celtic/brendan-rodgers-moussa-dembele-will-likely-stay-until-2018-1-4408985

Brendan Rodgers has insisted that bringing a high class midfielder to Celtic Park remains his No1 priority during the summer transfer window.
Speaking at a fans Q&A, the Hoops boss revealed he is in the market for a dynamic, number eight who can make the Parkhead side tick and help improve their chances in the Champions League .
Rodgers also stated he is looking to strengthen his backline, by adding a centre-half and he could be in the market for another striker and possibly a winger - with on-loan Manchester City youngster Patrick Roberts set to return to the Etihad in the summer.
The Celtic boss insisted he knows he could miss out on some transfer targets due to finance, but is adamant that he only wants to sign players who will fight for the Hoops jersey and who want to improve their game.
Talking about the areas he was looking to strengthen, Rodgers said: "We're covered well in a lot of positions, but I've always wanted another midfielder.
"It has to be someone of real quality, someone who can make a difference.
"I believe that we need a midfield player who can make a pass and make a difference in the Champions League.
"Whether Patrick Roberts comes back from Manchester City remains to be seen so I believe that I'll need another winger, with real pace and power and I'll maybe be looking at one other position in centre half."
Rodgers admits he's delighted with what he already has in his Parkhead squad and knows that there is still plenty of improvement to come from his stars and continued: "I'm delighted with all the players.
"I think there's still a lot of growth in Kieran Tierney, Dedryck Boyata's improving and I still think he's got a lot of development left in him.
"Broonie will get better, Stuart Armstrong will definitely get better, Tom Rogic will get better and we'll possibly want another striker.
"There won't be wholesale changes but we'll be looking to add to the group that's there and add real quality.
The Parkhead boss doesn't believe that the Hoops will be held back in signing top targets due to finance and is convinced that the lure of playing for a big club like Celtic still holds a lot of appeal to players who are not just interested in money: "There's a certain level that you can go to but this club sells itself.
"If players are prepared to take a hit financially then this is the place for them.
"For some players it's all about two things, game time and the money. If it's all about the money then there will be some players that won't come here. It's as simple as that.
"We only want players to play for Celtic that can defend the shirt. That want to run, that want to fight. They will get paid well alongside that.
"If they can grow and develop then all the better.
Rodgers even had time for a quick joke, following the news that Robert Mancini would one day love to manage the Parkhead side in Europe's top competition, saying: "From what I get from the scouts and the board, the level of interest in Celtic is big, even Mancini wants my job.
