DerbyshireFox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 So in 24 hours we’ve gone from Lennon being our interim until the summer to us going in hard for Rodgers and Lennon probably being Celtic interim instead potentially a great appointment. Let’s just get behind the guy and see what he can do. He clearly sees the potential of the squad if he’s prepared to walk away from a treble treble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic’s finances have regressed I'm also taking into consideration his previous jobs, especially here, and Villa. I'm not saying Rodgers is a bad manager but it's far too early in his career to compare him to MON who has achieved wherever he's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No top 6 club will employ him without proving himself again in the Premier League, so he takes a job at a club outside top 6. We are a stepping stone, which is fine because he will only progress if he does well with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 From Rodgers point of view what does he really want?

deep blue Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 I have doubts about his personality, from a fly-on-the-wall documentary when he was at Liverpool, but otherwise his record is pretty good. He will be well motivated to move us up into contention for Europe (though unrealistic this season) as that is what he's had to forfeit, so hopefully he sees us as having good potential for making that step up. What gets me excited is the sheer speed and decisiveness of the move, surprising when we've been in a torpor of late, and the fact that he's bringing his whole management team - we'3rd not doing things by halves.

Rodgers has an easy job up there with no real pressure on him. The fact that he wants to prove he can mix it with the big boys again is great for our ambitions. He no doubt feels hard done by after what happened to him at Liverpool. The opportunity at Leicester is that you can create something brand new and special... everything is in place for it to happen. What happens with him in charge is up in the air as it really could go either way. But I think he's worth a shot for sure.
