Eh?His 1st trophy.

Actually, if he can keep this up at Leicester, and Spurs and Arsenal don't improve soon, then we might have to start talking about a top 5, and he'd be in it without changing jobs.Always makes me laugh when I cast my mind back to Celtic fans apoplectic with rage that he left them to go to ‘only Leicester’. The chap obviously is incredibly ambitious and fancied himself to salvage his reputation in the Premier League and he’s done that with aplomb inside three years.
Rodgers wouldn’t publicly admit it but he undoubtedly saw Leicester as a stepping stone towards nailing a ‘big 4’ job and I’ll be shocked if that doesn’t materialise sooner rather than later for him.
In England I suppose you mean?His 1st trophy.
Fans are always going to be angry when their manager sneaks off in the middle of the night, a night before a huge away game slap bang in the middle of a title race. It was a snake move. He could've waited until the end of the season. As for the "only Leicester" part... well, the man himself confirmed Leicester are a smaller club than Celtic so of course fans are going to be angry. It isn't like he left to go to Man Utd or Liverpool.Always makes me laugh when I cast my mind back to Celtic fans apoplectic with rage that he left them to go to ‘only Leicester’.

Yes yes yes I would. I've grown to like he over the years. If things don't turn out well for Ole United will have Brendan on the short list for sure. He deserves his chance. Let's be honest he was unlucky not to win it at Liverpool back in 2014.Would anyone take him here at Utd? Anyone...anyone ?
Money?Why would he leave if he get's them in the CL? if he gets them to CL, I think the owner will spend more than what Spurs and Arsenal will for example. It's a side move for Brendan at best, at this point.
He was very complimentary about us when Leicester played us a couple of years back. Really threw his support behind Ole. Wonder if like a lot Norn Irn folks he grew up a fan of Utd because of George BestYes yes yes I would. I've grown to like he over the years.

He's got a great temprement, doesn't show arrogance to other clubs. Hell yeah I'd give him a try with what managers are available at the moment.
Congrats Brendan and Leicester.
On a side note. Wouldn't it be great to have owner/owners like Leicester.
I think he is a better manager than Ole, but do not see him take us to the levels we need.Would anyone take him here at Utd? Anyone...anyone ?
Many have been talking about that.Would anyone take him here at Utd? Anyone...anyone ?
If it doesn't work out with Ole - absolutely. He was great at Swansea, Liverpool - Celtic, and Scotland in general I know feck all about - and now at Leicester. Absolutely worth a punt in the future if things go south - but his contract isn't running up until 2025.Would anyone take him here at Utd? Anyone...anyone ?
You mean an owner who sees the club as part of the community and invests in that. Sees the fans as integral?Yes yes yes I would. I've grown to like he over the years.

Think Spurs wanted him if you listen to the media ( which I don't ) but can see why if he was approached would say no. Didn't know that about George Best but now that you've told me that I'm even more sure I'd give him a go at our place.He was very complimentary about us when Leicester played us a couple of years back.

He also won the Championship play-off Final with Swansea in 2011 as well.Tweet

He said he supported Sheffield Wednesday in England, as a family member played for them when he was young.He grew up a Celtic fan.
Unless you mean were United like his 'English team'? In that case, I dunno, but knowing him he'll claim to have been a boyhood fan of whoever is paying his wages at the time.
edit: Turns out his favourite English team were Sheffield Wednesday
IIRC he's already around the 4th highest paid manager in the league, Spurs and Arsenal come with all the pressure of a big club but without the support from above, could see him going to Chelsea or either of the 2 Manchester clubs but not Spurs or ArsenalMoney?
Also you know he'll want to prove himself at one of the "big" clubs in England after failing at Liverpool.
He'll end up back at Chelsea at some point, I'm convinced of it!
I hope they make it into top 4 . But I do not agree with it being bigger than tonight for Leicester. Do you think you will see scenes like you did post game if they finish top 4?Out Chelsea'd Chelsea today, looks like Leicester have gotten over their wobble.
Still, the match in mid week is actually bigger, a loss and they're in serious danger of dropping out of the CL.
depends on Liverpool, I can see a Big Sam master class tomorrow for instanceOut Chelsea'd Chelsea today, looks like Leicester have gotten over their wobble.

Well given that the players celebrated beating our reserves on Tuesday with just as much vigour it can't be far off!I hope they make it into top 4 . But I do not agree with it being bigger than tonight for Leicester. Do you think you will see scenes like you did post game if they finish top 4?
in all honesty I Want top 4 obviously but if we come 5th now I won't careI hope they make it into top 4 . But I do not agree with it being bigger than tonight for Leicester. Do you think you will see scenes like you did post game if they finish top 4?
I'd be delighted with that, but they're relegated now so an early goal will likely kill any resistance.depends on Liverpool, I can see a Big Sam master class tomorrow for instance
