  1. Brendan Rodgers | Rejoins Celtic on 3 year deal

    Rodgers hasn't been here 5 years. We've not had to spend a huge amount because we bought a large number of high quality players at low value and sold bang average players like Maguire for £85m. I do not think we're a top or big club, I think we put together a fine squad of players and Rodgers...
  2. Brendan Rodgers | Rejoins Celtic on 3 year deal

    There have been times we can blame injuries, now is not one of them. Rodgers has also spent a lot of money, it's just none of them play very often because they were no better than what we had. Any massive club with an ounce of common sense, would on due diligence realise they shouldn't touch...
  3. Maguire needs to be replaced

    This IS the level he was at here, I said when you signed him that he’d been our fourth best defender that season.
  4. Next permanent manager | Poll updated

    Please take Rodgers… thanks.
  5. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    I think people need to temper this "bottled the top 4" thing with the fact we had a ludicrous amount of injuries. He absolutely takes some of the blame, as I do feel his negativity set the seeds for it happening. But we have had horrendous injuries, last season was frankly a minor miracle to...
  6. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    Depends on what your expectations are? If it's finishing 3rd or 4th, being crap in Europe then he'd be fine.
  7. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    I'm probably coming across as overly dismissive of him, but I'm trying to look at it from a Man Utd perspective. If your board did their due diligence, there would be way too many red flags IMO. In terms of Fofana, it was said he'd been scouted from youth level, but I'm not sure. There are...
  8. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    They probably did, but if you snooze you lose. The people at the top our your club are utterly clueless.
  9. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    Praet, Perez, Vestergaard to name three. £65m down the drain. Rodgers has done a good Job, you cannot argue with the positions we finished and an FA Cup. But… you say he’s taken us as far as we can go, in one sense we are punching around the best level we probably ever will. Having said that...
  10. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    Rodgers had us install his own man as head of recruitment. In our last match all but three players played regularly under Puel… and one was a loanee. We’ve wasted huge amounts because of him and Congerton. I said it before, you’d be making a huge mistake. He got handed a very good squad, and...
  11. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    With all due respect, whilst he shoulders certain elements of blame, we've been decimated with injuries both seasons.
  12. Would you take Rodgers at United?

    As a Leicester fan I think you'd be making a big mistake, he's not good enough to go toe to toe with Klopp, Tuchel and Pep. It's as simple as that. We've got a fantastic squad that he's been lucky to inherit, don't for one moment think what we've done is all down to him. He's about the best...
  13. Youri Tielemans

    I'm sure you know all the players we know the difference is being willing to take a risk. Tielemans flopped at Monaco, we went big to get him when many wouldn't. You wait for them to establish themselves at a club, over generally jumping in before that. It's understandable for a huge club.
  14. Youri Tielemans

    Would be very shocked if we accepted anything below £60m, it's more likely the £60-£75m range even with two years left. Just because he's too important to us, we could still get our money back on him next summer at least.
  15. Youri Tielemans

    He's fantastic, he elevates us to another level. Closest we've come to a Kante / Mahrez level performer. Much better and much more consistent than your Chilwells, Maguires, Maddisons. We absolutely won't let him go easily this summer, and will do what we can to keep him. He's integral to our...
