One thing that worked against Ronny was his relative obscurity in comparison to his predecessors, I think we'll see a different caliber of player wanting to come and work with Brendan. |

Very chuffed with this. Exactly the sort of appointment we wanted. Moyes was my first pick but Rodgers was probably the next best option. I just want a team on the park that shows a bit of mettle. We need to go out and back him in the transfer market now. The whole purpose of this appointment is to flex a bit of muscle so let's follow it through. Time to move up a gear, Celtic.

I am confident he will do his own thing and not go with the "experts" on kds or elsewhere.

There is a quote from one of the commentators (can't remember who) just after Sutton sticks away his second and our sixth in the 6-2 game. "Martin O'Neil said all he lacked was confidence, well he certainly won't lack it now. He's a hero in the East End of Glasgow today." On a recent re-watch of the season review from 00/01 this quote had me scoffing purely because knowing what we all know now about Sutton's exploits for us, it is hard to imagine him as someone lacking confidence. At the time though MON will have had that right. Sutton had just come off the back of a bad season at Chelsea. Shows how much confidence can be worth. MON Chris Sutton

Confidence definitely wasn't the issue for Sutton at Chelsea. He was of the opinion that they weren't playing to his strengths and made sure everyone around knew it. I think he actually had to be dragged away from Gianluca Vialli on a flight back from a European defeat because he was being made to look bad as a result of the managers tactics. |

Amazing how quickly things change in football. We've went from nobody wanting the job in 2014 to debating over Davie Moyes and Brendan Rodgers in 2016. I thought Moyes would be good too, simply because I wanted a proper defence as we've been pumped daft in Europe for the last few years and especially weak at the back. But if we could pick a manager that fits with the mythical Celtic way of playing, Brendan Rodgers is probably the closest we're ever likely to get. Celtic minded, Irish, sought after, experienced at the highest level and his teams were acclaimed for playing attacking football and scoring lots of goals. He's perfect for how we conceptualise ourselves. What changed since 2014? Scottish football isnt any better. So it looks like the entry of Sevco into the league has prompted the board to loosen the purse strings for wages and transfers. And the manager knows there is likely to be an increased level of competition. Added to the CL qualification route. As Brendan pointed out, we have a good infrastructure and are financially healthy. The last few years have been awful. For the first time I switched off. But its amazing how a new manager can reinvigorate a club immediately. A few good signings in key areas and we're back in business. Hump Newco in the first game, qualify for the CL and a full Celtic Park will be rocking again (with 10,000 fairweather supporting fuds). Whoever on this board said a manager doesnt really matter is going to look pretty daft if Rodgers hits the ground running. |
