I think Brendan will stick around and guide us to 10.

I can't see any of the so-called big clubs in England taking a punt on him after his perceived failure at Liverpool.

If he goes back to the English Premiership, it will be to an unfashionable mid-lower table club.

They don't rate Scottish football, so his achievements at Celtic will be dismissed with the usual smug arrogance.

Arsenal should go for Simeone but theyll let Arsene choose the successor
Mark McGhee ís probably expecting the call
Who told you that. Mark McGhee? :lol:

He think he is a master tactician and kwality manager.

Another Scottish footballing dinosaur.

Same as Jeffries, Calderwood, McCall, Strachan…

He all but lost the plot recently. From Chris Davies at fir park, to the sending off he said was not against Hearts (it certainly was) to his melt down during the week.

Cringe worthy of the highest order. Plus he is an utterly pish manager.

Arsenal is the one team in the EPL I can see Brendan's head being turned by in the next year or so. They've got a history of not rushing through managerial appointments (although as Man U showed that can easily change) and already have a culture in the playing staff which BR likes - barring the winning thing :ph43r:

I really don't think BR will move to England to manage an Everton or Sunderland to be honest. He's spoken often on the project he has here, the players back him up and he's already had success and failure in the EPL with all the money that that entails. I think he knows that if he wins the 10, gets Celtic competing in the Champions League and puts a few trophies in his cabinet he'll be a more sought after manager in Spain than if he gets Crystal Palace to finish 7th for 2 seasons.
Arsenal is the worry.

Time for our CEO to actually prove he can deal effectively in the incoming transfer market, as opposed to his bottom-line-boosting, transfers out.

We are as cash rich as we can hope to be, and in the management team and the core of players they are developing, we have a decent base to move forward on the field of play.

The manager has already intimated that he was less than satisfied by our dealings in the last window.
Let's hope Splob gets the message, and delivers the appropriate targets timeously (no pun intended) for the qualifiers, and hoped for, CL campaign.

Making the right signings of two or three players, sends out a strong message, and maybe even convinces the likes of Dembele to stick around for another full season, especially if we have European action post-xmas.

Hopefully, Desmond isn't doing too much snoozing, on his dollar cushioned hammock in Sandy Lane.

Wouldn't it be lovely, for once, if the business was all but done, and only the T's needed crossing, and the I's dotting, once the window opened?

No better way to show that the manager is being backed to the hilt.

Arsenal need an Ancelotti/Simeone type manager who has the experience and personality to make the job his own. With someone like Eddie Howe, they risk the Moyes at Man Utd scenario of a manager who's too deferential to his predecessor. Rodgers would actually be a decent shout for them but, as others have said, he's considered down south to have blown his chance at an elite club and I don't see Arsenal's foreign owners taking a blind bit of notice of anything that's happening in Scotland.

Allegri seems to have moved into red-hot favourite in the last few days, maybe deal already been agreed. Can't see Arsenal waiting until the summer before he decides. As much as we love Rodgers I can't see him being in the running for this one.

Simeone is a great manager, but Arsenal have such a culture of possession-based football engrained into the club it's hard to see how Simeone's style of play would fit.
Yet Wenger's greatest successes came from ruthless counter attacking from Ljunberg, Pires, Henry and Bergkamp. It's funny how these things work at times.

All this Wenger talk inspired me to find out whatever became of Bruce Ricoh.

Last seen leading training sessions for a team in the south west peninsula league in Cornwall.

Good man.

can't see Simeone being interested in the Arsenal job

IF he leaves Atletico it will be for one of "his" Italian teams, Chelsea or a return to Argentine

It's mental Inter have never approached him considering the how shampooe they have been since Mourinho left.

He's already said he'll manage them in the future. :thumbsup:

He's leaving Atletico next season, I think.

Decision on Wenger's future at the end of the season. Looks like he will be stepping aside at last.
Time for Peter Lawwell to do his Jedi mind trick: "This isn't the Brendan Rodgers that you're looking for" :pray:
their fans won't be satisfied with a manager who is perceived to have failed at Liverpool. Rodgers is nowhere near good enough for the EPL. Tell everyone you know. :suspect:
To be fair to Arsenal fans you can understand why they'd be underwhelmed with the appointment of Brendan based on his time at Liverpool.

Yes they had a great season in 2013/14 & were brilliant to watch and finished 2nd, however they also finished 6th & 7th either side of that season. Wenger winning 2 FA Cups in that time wasn't seen as good enough, Brendan didn't win anything with Liverpool did he?

Arsenal will go for someone like Allegri & Brendan will win Celtic 10 IAR :thumbsup:

I don't think Brendan will be thought of for the Arsenal job, thankfully - though he should be.

Names mentioned in The Times today include Koeman, Jorge Sampaoli, Simeone, Tuchel, Eddie Howe, Allegri and Leonardo Jardim.

What happens at Barcelona could influence one or two of those, you'd have thought.

If you buy the theory that after a certain point a manager becomes less effective & it needs a fresh set of eyes & Simeone agrees where else is there to go?

I don't see the Real Madrid job available, would his style of football suit Barcelona? Chelsea & United jobs look secure.

Ancelotti is just in the door at Bayern & is usually good for a CL win, Inter is a possibility but they are a basket case, Juve possibly if Allegri decides he's had enough?

Arsenal are a well run club, have some brilliant players, play in the EPL & more importantly London & he isn't under pressure for instant success.

Barcelona want Enrique gone as he's taken them too far away from their roots. There was actual disappointment when Tata Martino's Barca had less possession than Rayo Vallecano despite winning 4-0. :lol:

Simeone could not be any further from what Barcelona and their fans demand from their manager.

It's the Inter job he wants.

They're his other team.
