I don't think Brendan will get either the Chelsea or Arsenal jobs. Having said that I've always thought he is likely to have a gentleman's agreement with the club if a big English or European job came along.
Timing of this speculation is not ideal as our friends in the press will no doubt use it to take the shine off our championship win and hopefully double treble.

C'est la vie.
My friend Celtic don't have any friends in the sporting press, been that way in Scotia for decades, besides who in their right mind would care a fig for what they say.

Like others I doubt Arsenal will go near Rodgers. This, however, is the beginning of the end. He won’t be here for ten in a row.
That's interesting, why do you think that ?

Brendan is too good for Arsenal, even if he is offered it I am sure he will turn it down. AS he says he has unfinished business with Celtic. I believe that although managing the BEST TEAM in Scotland has a shelf life he is nowhere near the end of the line yet. I also think that when the time comes, Brendan will leave for a bigger club than Arsenal.

I agree with McSwain.

Rodgers is seen as damaged goods in England (wrongly, but it's the way they think).
To Arsenal fans, Rodgers was a Liverpool manager who was sacked and didn't win the league.

After the long term stint of Wenger at Arsenal, their board will want to put someone in place that is a real statement. A former manager of another EPL team is not that.

They'll go for a big name foreign boss that hasn't bossed before in the EPL.
Luis Enrique, Joachin Lowe or Tomas Tuchel.

Technically the day he started was the beginning of the end.

I think Rodgers will see out his contract then look elsewher if we clinch ten. He's a fan, he wants to be remembered forever. Ten puts him up there with O'Neill and Stein.

Also, things are changing. Lawwell has already alluded to that. Five/six years from now I think Celtic will be in a whole different place.

I think Arsenal fans would get over their snobbery pretty quickly.

I think he'll stay though. If it didn't work out, he's leaving a place where he's happy to go somewhere he has no calling, no affiliation, just another big club in a sea of them trying to buy titles with monopoly money.

I'm not sure why people are so quick to discount someone's happiness and contentment in their existing environment being a factor in whether they stay or go. He's probably already got more money than he could reasonably spend, unless he suddenly lost the plot. So, taking that out of the equation, why bother, when you've already tasted the cut-throat nature of a league where second for one guy means a sacking, but hero status for another. It's too arbitrary, too much of a gamble and, like Tierney, I think he wants to cement his name as an all time legend of the club.

Arsenal are probably the ideal club for him. I think he wants to build a legacy and to do that he’ll need time. The Arsenal board have shown over the last 8 or so years that they’re happy to give a manager as much time as he wants. If he went to Chelsea or someone soulless like that he’d be out on his arse in 18 months regardless of trophies won. I can’t see Arsenal going for him though, not when there are European Cup winning bosses available.

I wouldn't use such a dramatic statement.

However I'm not 100% convinced he'll be here in May 2021. If he was, I'd be delighted.

Exactly my thoughts. Never rule out going to work everyday and feeling happy. Not even Mourinho is getting that these days and as you say, the chances of it not working out are pretty high. Even if he did win the title, one bad season would result in the sack. Look at Conte. Everything he achieved last season counts for nothing just a year later. Ranieri was booted six months after achieveing the impossible.

I think that's why McIness won't go near Sevco. At Aberdeen he's valued and respected. At Sevco he'd be lucky to last a year. Rodgers loves Celtic and he's been on the sharp end of the managerial merry go round in the past.

Probably because it’s a big chunk of his career for something that shouldn’t be very challenging. If he stays too long at Celtic he’ll get pigeon-holed. This was always a stepping stone for him.

Makes me wonder that if Brendan isn’t here for 10IAR, are we letting a new manager take that on as his first season in charge.

I want Brendan to stay, but if he was to show some interest in any big jobs this summer we should bring Clarke in.

Really don’t want to go through a season with the team knowing it’s Brendan’s last.

There’s fair chance that’s happened down south already. Klopp has taken Liverpool to the CL semi final, which has more than eclipsed BRs achievements, and whilst he did well at Swansea, the likes of Sean Dyche and even more impressively Claudio Ranieri have eclipsed what BR did at Liverpool.
I think he will go in his own time, but he’s not a major target for Arsenal or any of the top six in England. His previous association with Chelsea would maybe see him considered for that position, but my feeling is when he leaves us, he’ll go to Spain.

Arsenal will pick someone from the continent because that fits the profile. Brendan is still seen as a loser down in Ingerland. Most of their fans wouldn’t know a decent manager if one booted them in the arse :lol:
Like most EPL fans. Sky need “stories” so Brendan gets named, no doubt there will be several others until the eventual choice is revealed.
The SMS will bang the drum because they’re desperate for Brendan to leave :lol:
Well eff them :thumbsup:
