Nah. Being alive and actively managing for a 100 years alone is a huge fecking achievement. Guess you'd get to around 130 years old.
Brendan Rodgers | Rejoins Celtic on 3 year deal
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
A lot of Celtic fans seem a bit deluded on the standing of their club. I know all fans do that but it still needs saying.
Yes of course they're a bigger club historically than Leicester. But in 2019 Leicester City are a much more attractive proposition, working in a vastly bigger league with better players on much better money too.
What else is there left for him to do at Celtic anyway? He's won it all, and they're never going to be threat in Europe anyway.

Thought Celtic would he happy considering he hasn’t improved them in Europe.
They'll be lucky to sign someone who can keep the league and cup form of Rodgers with the same attacking football
Never mind upgrade on Rodgers and become an attacking force in Europe too
Any idea of the kind of compensation Celtic would receive should Rodgers leave?
He's left for a bigger job, with more money for himself and to build a squad with.
He's on the verge of a historic treble treble with Celtic and no-one cares because of the state of the league.
A lot of Celtic fans seem to blame the money in England, but fail to realise the only reason they are such an attractive proposition compared to other Scottish sides is due to how far ahead they are financially.
Money > History in football these days.

I think he was on a rolling contract if memory serves, so not a lot if I'm correct.
What a cnut. Top of the league ,good chance of winning the Scottish Premiership and as soon as a job comes up in PL he can't wait to to cut loose.
Reality check.
It isn't like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern et al came calling.
The most successful manager in the nation, of the most successful team in the nation, is about to chuck it in the midst of another successful season to go and manage..........Leicester City.
Brutal....but there it is.

Scousers have a 3rd club to support in the PL now.
Didn’t Lennon leave Celtic and join Bolton a few years back? Surely this is at least a bit better.
Their 37th fixture this season is Man City
Nope, they don't like Rodgers anymore. At the very least, they are indifferent to him even if they don't boo him.
Does anybody blame him? Nobody cares about Scottish football anymore.
He's won everything he can there so he might as well move on.

There not a bigger club, don't be ridiculous.
“When you come into any club, you come in for the longer term,” Rodgers said. “I look at Martin O’Neill, he was here for five years. Neil Lennon was here for four seasons. So you want to bring success to the club and, however long that takes, you want that opportunity.
“ At this moment in time, I’ve got no thoughts of Celtic being a stepping stone and moving back into the Premier League. I don’t want to work in the Premier League for 20 years, hence the reason I came up here.
Stolen from the Celtic forum. Is that legit?

Nothing like belittling the Scottish game.
Attendance per capita in the Scottish Premier is the highest in Europe. Very easy to speak nonsense like that when the English game is bankrolled the way it is.
Pearly whites, striped suits and all
Good for both parties. Couldn't do a remarkable job where his sucessor will collect the harvest of a good crop, but he's clearly a good manager.
Thanks, that's a shame for Celtic then.
I thought that a nice chunk of money (anything over £5 million for example) would have really helped them out and eased the pain.
Think he'll be a good fit for Leicester tbh.
In fairness to him he might of seen a situation like Ole. Interim til end of season and will probably get the job now. Risk to wait and assume the other person doesn't get themselves the job
Scottish papers saying 5-7m likely.
Sure at home football will always be popular. But in the grand scheme of things it's a 1 horse league with very little interest anywhere else.
The fact Rodgers is contemplating leaving a guaranteed CL club for a mid table premier league side shows.
How do you measure the size of a football club, stone or inches?
In what metric are Celtic bigger than Leicester?
Face facts, Celtic are a fecking Blue Whale in a very very small pond. There is no competition up there and that is obvious when they play European football.
Rodgers has done all he can for Celtic, the board didn’t back him in the summer, it showed in Europe so what’s the point in him staying there? Celtic would struggle in The English Championship to make top four, let alone The PL.
If he does move then good luck to him, I think he is talked of rather harshly by Liverpool supporters.
They won a European Cup 50+ years ago. And their stadium is bigger.
That's probably about it.
By every other possible measure, Leicester are currently a bigger and more attractive prospect for players and managers.
Bilić is free.
Theres talk about Lennon but he's a bit of a loose cannon.

Has Moyes commented yet on how he'd be interested in taking the Celtic job?
I came here to say exactly this, i cannot believe how amazed the Celtic fans seem to be that their manager wants to go back to the prem at the first sniff of an offer, nobody outside of Scotland has a single care in the world what happens in the Scottish League.
It'll be Lennon till the end of the season.
Before the secretarian farce that happened recetnly, I'd of said Steve Clarke had a good chance at the Celtic job,
What's the story there?
Rodgers and Vardy... I can see the latter not having it. I smell problems. One likes to chat shit, the other, not so much.
Yeah, I'm not surprised at all that Leicester have attracted a real good manager. The squad is excellently set to be built on. Comfortably the most attractive job outside the top six, as long as the untimely death of the chairman has not disrupted things too much.
Damn I liked Leicester as well
Rangers fans were chanting at Clarke (Kilmarnock manager) calling him a "sad fenian b*astard" (sorry if that offends anyone).
Clarke got emotional in his post match interview and broke down in his interview.
“When I was approached by Rangers about taking over the job here I was assured, nah, we didn’t have that in the west of Scotland anymore and it had gone. Hahaha.
“They can call me a b*****d or w****r but to call me a Fenian b*****d? Come on.
“We’re living in the dark ages. They’re not allowed to call my assistant a black B but they can call me a Fenian b*****d. Is that correct?
“What are we doing in Scotland?
“I wake up every morning and I thank Chelsea for taking me away from the West.
“My children have had nothing to do with this thankfully. My children and grandchildren.
“It’s fantastic to be back in Scotland.”
In response the Rangers fanbase blasted him and mocked him for getting emotional over social media and had a banner at their game vs Hamilton saying "Get well soon Steve Clarke".
Scum fanbase.
What’s the big deal with him leaving now?
He has the chance to go to a job that, by most objective standards, offers him more opportunities, a chance that may not be available when the season is over.
Look at it this way, if he was doing horribly, no one would bat an eye if he was sacked. In that respect, if he gets the chance to take up a better job then it makes sense for him to do it. He doesn’t owe Celtic any forced loyalty that may be to his own detriment.
