Delighted with the appointment (even though I wanted Moyes as my first pick). That said, are we not getting a wee bit carried away with a carnival on the Celtic Way and comparing this to the MON days?

When Brendan has pumped Barca, Liverpool, Juve, Lyon, Blackburn and taken us all the way to a Euro final maybe then we can compare him to the blessed one.
For me, this is a bigger appointment than MON was at the time. Big as that was. MON was appointed at a time where we were "bigger". Our position, especially in comparison to the EPL and the fact that the Huns were in full blown cheatmode and spending freely. SPL was higher profile, the quality of players we had etc. O'Neill was a great appointment but to get a manager who a few seasons ago was manager of Liverpool and took them to within a whisker of the EPL title for the first time in years is in relative terms bigger for me.

What followed with MON of course will be difficult to match, primarily because of external factors that now exist, but I think this is a bigger appointment at the respective points in time and DD and the board have shown ambition (so far) with this appointment.

What is true is that both MON and Brendan Eugene Aloysius Rodgers ;) understand the nature of Celtic, what it means to a lot of people and especially that it offers them an opportunity that a lot of managers just wouldn't see.

Anyone know where I can find a video of MON making that speech after being unveiled. Iconic moment. Monday will be up there with that hopefully.


In that.
Cheers mate, that's all we ask for
In fairness to Lenny his "I want to bring back the thunder" speech was as good as inspirational speeches go.

I agree with this. In terms of box-office, Rodgers is a bigger appointment. Doubt he'll come close to O'Neills achievements either but we can live in hope.

I see today that the norwegian squad in our backroom team are away. That means we will be looking for new Physios ( Tim williamson getting his old role back?) and fitness coaches. Heard that JK may be kept on as first team coach but he will more than likely go back to the U20s. Will be interesting to see who Rodgers brings in.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Paul Hartley would have been decent, sure.
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.
Don't remember anyone saying the manager didn't matter. There was a discussion about a book called Soccernomics that suggested the managers role was not as crucial as the players salary budget. Since the manager usually has a big influence on the player budget it's a kind of circular argument.

Wish the board had taken action like this sooner, but still delighted they've finally taken the finger out. Proper buzzing about Celtic again :rocker:

There's no chance Rodgers will stand for any interference.

He despised Liverpool's transfer committee set up and said he'd never work under anything similar to it again.
Does that mean the buck stops with Rodgers ? :ph43r:

Delighted with the appointment (even though I wanted Moyes as my first pick). That said, are we not getting a wee bit carried away with a carnival on the Celtic Way and comparing this to the MON days?

When Brendan has pumped Barca, Liverpool, Juve, Lyon, Blackburn and taken us all the way to a Euro final maybe then we can compare him to the blessed one.
For me, this is a bigger appointment than MON was at the time. Big as that was. MON was appointed at a time where we were "bigger". Our position, especially in comparison to the EPL and the fact that the Huns were in full blown cheatmode and spending freely. SPL was higher profile, the quality of players we had etc. O'Neill was a great appointment but to get a manager who a few seasons ago was manager of Liverpool and took them to within a whisker of the EPL title for the first time in years is in relative terms bigger for me.

What followed with MON of course will be difficult to match, primarily because of external factors that now exist, but I think this is a bigger appointment at the respective points in time and DD and the board have shown ambition (so far) with this appointment.

What is true is that both MON and Brendan Eugene Aloysius Rodgers ;) understand the nature of Celtic, what it means to a lot of people and especially that it offers them an opportunity that a lot of managers just wouldn't see.

Hang on Brendan Eugene Aloysius.....He's a BEAR......cancel the party......
