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.
who cares? let's just enjoy the moment.
Exactly. No one can ever possibly win this type of argument.

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 :thumbsup:
It isn't denigrating the abilities of Martin O'Neill to say that Brendan Rodgers is a better manager than him. Indeed to think that such a claim is in some way a criticism of MON or slanderous would then be denigrating Brendan Rodgers as if it couldn't possibly be the case.

Both quality managers and I love both of them. Brendan, though, is one of the best in the world. A proper world class manager and we are so lucky to have him. It wasn't a criticism of MON in any way.

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.
He'll have fitted in nicely with his trackie bottoms and dress shirt combo.

Do you reckon he's the best British manager about at the moment? I genuinely can't think of any other decent British coaches in the club game at the moment. Fair play to him - in a bit of a fallow period for coaches from this neck of the woods he's breaking the trend in some style. At his age and looking at any of the other similarly aged managers, he could be the best of his generation by some distance from the UK for sure.

Thought it was a good appointment at the time but I think he has exceeded all expectations. He has instilled a playing style that is demanded of Celtic in our league, and also tempered that with a style that suits our European challenges.

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

No doubt about it. Not much competition mind.

What a manager we have.
I’ve given up worrying about team selections, tactics, substitutions, the lot.
This guy and his team (both players and off-the-park assistants) have it all figured out.
I trust them utterly to deliver the best possible 11 on the park fired up and prepared to deliver victory.

These are special days. Thank-you Brendan (and your team). :thumbsup:

I never get the "better than him" stuff.

Does it matter? Just enjoy what we are doing under Brendan & be glad we have him, like the MON days.

Same with the folk who go on about if Thumb is better than Dembele. Both different & I'm just glad we have the two of them!

He's brilliant at talking and doing

If he gets what he wants I think with favourable draw last 8 may be possible

If hard draw certainly Europa final

His comments on green brigade superb

And on sir awex

Fantastic all in all and glad to see he has one fault in his absolutely shocking dress sense

Over to you fatboab

Fair enough :thumbsup:

Felt it was a disrespectful way of expressing it by saying it's not even close. Personally I think that MON was also one of the best in the business and genuinely world class too.
