His bonus is directly correlated to transfer dealings. He is playing certain players to get them sold.
Who?
Jackie McNamara at Dundee Utd?

That sounds like made up bollocks.
Bonus will not be on the back of transfer dealings ffs. :brickwall:

It will be performance related like 99.9% of professional managers.


That said his team selection this season is baffling picking to many off form players and neglecting players he brought in. Nearly all of us are baffled as to why this is and it is happening ALL the time.

It is resulting IMO in poor performances when we DO have the players who should be able to tear apart a woeful Dundee team. Im all for stronger competition etc. but the football for a large portion of the time this season has been woeful to watch.

Like most seen some right poor celtic teams over the years but we do have the personel at the club provided setup correctly to destroy teams like last night.

It is a bit worrying just now to say the least what he is doing and the way the team is playing.

Still basically Deila's team.Out of his own signings,has there been any successes apart from Dembele,Ntcham ,Henry and Sinclair (last season).Don't see any improvement and think Rodgers has been sussed out.Personally ,I wouldn't trust him with a large transfer kitty as the majority of his signings are nowhere to be seen.I mean Comperr,ffs what a waste of money and wonderkid Musonda?Totally baffled.
It’s not “basically Deila’s team”, he’s signed 9 players this season alone.
Recruitment just isn’t good enough

He is about the only one I can think of that did...got sacked weeks after it was announced and Thompson with whom he agreed it with went on a downward spiral with Utd support.

Jackie is as dour as a december morning was not daft...GMS,Gauld, Russell & Armstrong all sold under his agreement.

Pretty sure Dario Gradi had some setup at Crewe as well many moons ago.

That's what I heard (and posted) when br signed his new deal. Don't know the ins and outs other than I was told he has a bonus/payment linked to transfer dealings.

Just to clarify it came from a different source - not my reliable one :lol:

That's where i thought he'd make a difference. I tgought he'd put an end to our policy of collecting dross that add little to the squad and got rid of some of the wage thieves we already had. If anything he's made it worse

Celtic are just doing enough to win the league handsomely. Its human nature. Like Anthony Joshua at the weekend. Not totally entertaining but born from a winning attitude.

Where are his 9 signings,which is my point?Hardly plays any of them.Total mismanagement in my opinion and a waste of money.Our wage bill is massive and god help us if we don't qualify for Champions league.

Some of the comments on here are mental. Lost his mojo. Like Delia. Not worth the money he is being paid.

We are doing just enough to get the title. Has the football been great? No. We were outstanding last season. This term we have been ok.

Rodgers showed what a great manager he is when we went down to 10 men at Ibrox. Every domestic test he has faced, he has passed.

Next test is knocking the huns out and then winning the cup.

We do need to improve though.

And he is not above criticism. Last night he should not have subbed Sinclair imo. He was actually causing Dundee a bit of bother.

Ntcham should not have been brought on. Musonda or Roberts were surely the better bet.

In saying that no manager gets everything right all of the time.

Rodgers though tends to get things right when it matters.

As much as the rest of yer man's post is a lot of shampooe ("sussed out" - aye, nae bother) it is still mostly Deila's team that is playing.

Rodgers could have made 100 signings this season but it doesn't make much difference is the signings are poor/he won't give them a chance.

I must admit I find his after match comments disrespectful to all us who stand in the cold and watch that garbage ... very good, excellent etc ? Were we at the same game as Brendan ?

Get a new source then. Preferably one that doesn't talk rubbish to you.

For me it's all about the player's attitudes. This is the same group that went through the whole of last season without a single domestic defeat and 4 draws, one of which we were blatantly cheated (Ross Co.). My point is that they clearly have the ability to wipe teams aside, they just don't have that same desire this season; they know they can stroll it in second gear.

I've not doubts they'll show up in both Huns games and win though.

What a poor attitude if so. We could get any diddie in with our resources to do that.

May as well save 2m and take Clarke on.

And his blind spot with Sinclair continues. No way does that guy deserve a start.

It does because it is bollocks.

He chops and changes his teams for a start and the players on the bench last night where for the most part better players than a fair few on the park - From last night -

Gordon,Lustig,McGregor,Hendry, - No serious dosh in them.

Boyata - Some money in him but inconsistent and error prone - Top clubs for the most part won't buy that sort of player

Brown is going nowhere,

Forrest is one of his favourites - Generally speaking deservedly so on this season's form - Just wish he would put in a performance against the Zombies.

Rogic - There is money in him dependent on where he would go and who buys him.

Dembele is always liable to be the one sold as he has the most value albeit not as much as it once was on this season's form.

Armstrong playing well as in Ross County form is worth a good few quid - Armstrong again generally this season not worth serious money.

Sinclair off form and not worth that much presently.

It is just abject bollocks to say he is playing certain players to sell on to get his bonus - The guy is a multi millionsare ffs - When he split from his first wife the divorce carved up 102 properties in his portfolio - He turned down three Premiership Clubs and Marseilles who would all be paying much, much more than Celtic.

There are problems with the product on the park and his track record on signings has more cons than pros which he needs to get right.There will be big changes on the playing front this summer one way or another those coming in he really has to get right.

I agree it's a poor attitude to have.

Hopefully we can finish the season with a bit of flair.
