But like everything, being in the know a transfer, a done deal that bit him one on the arse, but at least he had the inside track as we all know with transfers it’s a funny old game.....
eff me the Tartan Fannies have been on the snakebite and brave pills.


It bit me on the arse. So what? That’s what happens. Transfers fail at last minute.
Brave pills :lol: :lol:

Yep, my finger was hovering above the keyboard knowing the fate that may await me.

I was unhappy with his pre-game interview today. For the first time, I thought I detected a bit of complacency before the one game on the calendar no Celtic team should ever be complacent about, not with that Hibs manager in charge anyway.

Having said that, Brendan has been brilliant since he arrived, occasional mistake notwithstanding, and is going nowhere anytime soon.
What did he say?
It was his demeanour as much as anything he actually said. It was all what a good season Hibs were having, how great Lenny was. I wanted him to treat it like a title decider, not the first game of the season. I detected complacency. It was the first time I've been uncomfortable with his pre-game appearances. :(

I don’t think you can put that performance down to that. There have been plenty of lazy performances this season and various excuses have been made. There’s a stale pattern to our play in a lot of games, especially when teams have a bit of a go. A lack of movement and taking responsibility which we all hoped would be sorted in Dubai, when that didn’t happen it was when the midweek games dry up there will be more coaching time. It’s not happened.

It’s as if it’s all about shape but it’s at the expense of our ability and it’s not a shape that’s working.

We’re fine when teams sit off unless we drop into our pass pass pass mode but really struggle when we are closed down. In the main because the pass and / or touch isn’t good enough or there is just no one showing. I can’t believe for a minute it’s how he wants us to deal with teams who have a go.

Hendry starting ahead of jozo. Sinclair on rather than edouard, kouassi, musonda or Roberts. Worrying.

So Lennon is coming back then? That’s the conclusion from today’s game?
He's doing very well at hibs - there are no doubt still some issues but he was interviewed when BR got it and he has coped with job before

Clarke has done v well but there are issues there to

Strachan also out of work :ph43r:

Most likely br won't get either arsenal or Chelsea but reminiscent of mon with Leeds
How depressing would it be to go from Brendan Rodgers to Neil Lennon, Steve Clarke or Gordon Strachan?

Effing hell what a sobering thought.

The building from the back is costing us time and time again. We are causing more problems for ourselves than our opponents.
It is. Gordon especially.

We're as well just booting it to eff, pressing like mad men and playing from the second ball. We can stil keep possession from middle to front, but have the defence on the ball for as little time as possible.

Anyone with a pair of eyes can tell you that any of or CBs aren't comfortable when they're shut down.

Mental to think that (if) when we do 10 in a row, we could do it with four different managers.

Not sure you'd get that in any other part of planet football.

Such is life in Scottish Fitba.
Bayern Munich must surely be on course for something similar?

Abysmal.
The calibre of scouting has been a problem since long before Rodgers got here, but ultimately the buck stops with him on recruitment. He’s given the thumbs up to every player we’ve signed this season. Every manager signs players who don’t work out for one reason or another. The curious thing with a lot of Rodgers’ signings, however, is the fact they’ve been signed and not even been given the chance to fail. Musonda, Compper, Hayes and Eboue have been scouted, signed and then seemingly written off before they’ve barely kicked a ball.

They've had 3 proper managers for their 7IAR, Heynckes twice, Pep, Ancelotti and Sagnol as caretaker for a game or two. Kovac takes over next season so it will be a minimum of 4 different managers if they do it, we'll do it with 3, the talk of Rodgers going is :cuckoo:

And this is something that's often overlooked, when there's talk of our NIAR or (heaven forfend) the huns tainted nine.

Our's was Big Jock's Nine, a true innovator and (dare I say) the Guardiola of his day :worthy:

Rodgers is going nowhere. The rags in England are full of Luis Enrique going to Arsenal. What Brendan has achieved in Scotland doesn't matter two effs in England. Arsenal would probably judge him on the European games where we have been mediocre, at best. Look at Lennon, achieved a lot in Scotland and ended up at Bolton.

Lennon hadn’t previously taken Liverpool to within a whisker of the title or transformed lower league Swansea into an established top flight team. Their profiles are entirely different. I agree though that the elite English teams don’t see Rodgers as a winner and are more likely to look abroad. He’d definitely be a viable contender though for anyone outwith the top six.

Look at Alex Neil he ended up at a decent size club from Hamilton.

Good points. There's no doubt that at some point he will end up back in England. Now is not the time for that though.

Probably but I'd put money on his next job being in Spain.

I was thinking the same. Brendan seemed a bit subdued before hand in his interview and after the game i felt something was wrong outside of the lacklustre performance in his demeanour too. Hope i'm wrong but.

I cant see arsenal going for him,but i found dermot's reaction to the possibility a bit odd i have to say. Brendan has improved us hugely and i want him to stay,even if the consistency hasn't been there this season we are still on the verge of the same season as last trophy wise....which is pretty incredible.

Agree with that.

DD seems perfectly capable of avoiding the press or saying eff all to them when it suits. And I can’t see Arsenal going for Rodgers, but by the same token I’m sure he’d be interested. And that’ll be out there in the same way as it was for MON and Leeds. It’s about as good a fit as he’d get back in England.


Let’s not be naive here, he might very well stay for years to come but we’ve all watched football long enough to take any player/manager promises with a huge dose of salt.
