Was just going to state that. I think we've got the capability to do something in that tournament. |

I'm loving watching Brendan's team but that is a huge pile of shampooe. MON (& Fergus) reinvented Celtic for the modern era, everything we've achieved since 2000 has its roots in his time here. |

100% We went from ineptitude to utter dominance under MON which, barring a few blips, hasn't really let up since. We have been strong pretty much every year since 2000. That is down to MON and the astonishing transformation he supervised. Brendan is the man of course all the same! |

I cannot believe the difference in us. So many times I have watched us in Europe with that horrible feeling of knowing we just weren't good enough with the ball. Plenty of heart and effort made sure that, at home, we could not be discounted, but there was no getting away from the fact our skill with the ball let us down time after time, especially away from home. That was as mature a performance as I can recall from us in Europe, and I said towards the end of the group stages last season that it was becoming clear how Brendan wanted us to play. Forget talk of how long he will be here. Let's just enjoy every bit of it and back him all the way. He knows what he is doing. It isn't just our players who have improved. I recall watching Liverpool playing in Europe when Brendan was manager and they were awful at times. We are seeing the benefit of his time there. However many and whoever he wants, Celtic, go and get them! Edited by ghirl86, 17 Aug 2017, 11:51 PM.

Are you saying it's shampoo to say Brendan is a better manager than MON? I'm not suggesting that he's achieved more as Celtic manager than MON has. He has only been here for a year, after all. I'm just saying that he is a better manager and indeed our best manager since Jock Stein. Eff, even Lenny is above Brendan in terms of Celtic achievements as of right now so I'm obviously not arguing that he's equalled or bettered what MON did here. He will, though, in time. He's that good. |

If the Rogers of today and had been manager in the MON era we would have won the CL. |

It's not that mental a statement when you look at the facts. The Porto and Monaco teams that contested the 2004 final weren't that much better than the Celtic team at the time. That season was a particularly weird one in Champions League history right enough. |

Is it too early to ask for a further 4 year extension to his contract...? I understand and appreciate the sentiment and enthusiasm here, but it's just not possible. The expectations and the relative weight of achievement just doesn't allow for it. That said, it's early days yet, but he has a very realistic chance of passing MON for the #2 spot.

I'm saying it's absolute shampooe to say Rodgers is a "far better manager than MON. It isn't even close". MON is the early 2000's was one of the best managers in the business and completely changed the mentality at Celtic for a generation. We are lucky to have two managers like Rodgers and MON is a comparatively short space of time, let's enjoy it rather than ignorantly denigrate the abilities of a genuine Celtic legend

A new guy (Celtic fan) in my office had The S*n the other day, and I asked him if he bought it, (might have been lying about, or some hun's) and he had. I was the 5th person to ask him that day. Not saw him with it since.

Great listen as always. Refreshing to see how his professionalism is installed throughout the club too (as you'd expect). John McGlynn spending a week in Astana to analyse them speaks volumes of that professionalism. Great stuff. |

Is that the same John McGlynn that was Hearts assistant under a few managers? |
