Anyone who thinks that the board has backed Rodgers to the full has obviously never had any business dealings with Peter Lawwell. |

you want to explain what that means? What kind of dealings have you had with Lawwell that would give you an insight into how the Board have backed the manager or not, as you suggest? |

I'm not saying he hasn't. A number of posts here are calling for BR to be backed and that the reason we lost is because we don't have the personnel. He is backed, I imagine that will continue and while we always aspire to greater and greater potential, there's a stone cold reality to managing Celtic. He has brought in Hayes, Sinclair, Dembele, Edouard, Kouassi, Ntcham, DeVries Gamboa, Roberts (The second time) and now probably Commper. He re-upped Lustig, Brown, Jozo, Gordon, Armstrong, Tierney, Forrest and Rogic. I imagine that was because he wanted them. Apparently we have actively looked to add Boyata to that list. This is no longer Deilas or Lennons team, far from it. These are the guys BR wanted and while we should always be looking to improve, it's a fantasy to say this isn't BRs team. It is.

I don't think he's dropped players he should have. Jozo has cost us a few goals directly, he should've been dropped for either Bitton or Ajer - both have done well when asked. Gordon for DDV, at least to make a point. He should IMO be rotating the other squad/development guys to better rest the 1st team. So many games in recent months, with very little rotation - is a mistake for me. I'd be happy to see us play the LC in an Arsenal style, with the development/back up players. It comes when we've had qualifiers & league games + other Euro games should we get there. I'd be perfectly fine with playing a massively rotated squad in the LC, which would also give us more development opportunities for guys who've not really had games: Ralston, Miller, Ajer, DDV, Eboue, Edouard etc.. Eboue in particular has been a complete ghost, but appeared from the stands to be decent & in need of games - bizarre. Brendan is great, I'm a huge fan, I hope this unbeaten run can be put away now & he can concentrate on what he says he wants to do - develop players. I'm hoping to see many more changes now. |

And Rodgers hasn't? Deila got pelters because he wanted high pressing, possession based football and 2/3rds of his midfield was Charlie Mulgrew and Kris Commons. |

Fair points On the new deals for existing players I'd say only Gordon's could have been challenged at time as not good management On players brought in dembele I understand was scouted/agreed before BR although he may have signed off Of the rest Sinclair Roberts and ntcham represent significant outlays - obv combined the others do too However in comparison to what he has brought in in funds for the club I don't think he has been fully backed |

At the time of signing the new deal, March, Gordon had 22 clean sheets and looked to have gotten back to top form after a ropey start to last season. I still think he won't be here next season. |

£2m Desso added to the signings he's made and renewal of plenty of contracts - no doubt on improved wages. MON did the same by rewarding the players he had instead of breaking the bank after his first season. Total control of football operations, travel etc. He's been backed better than any other manager since MON |

Apart from the guy after him who ended up with a higher wage bill and was cutting about signing guys from Real Madrid and AC Milan and that? |

And as a percentage of income to spend, I doubt he's anywhere near MoN's level of backing. Not to forget the quality players that O'Neill inherited, compared to Ronnie the Rocket's. Time to back the manager; go big or go back! |

True. I was thinking more in comparison to Deila, completely forgetting about anything before that. |

Mhogga signed about 35 players and got Robbie Keane flung in as well. |
