Happy Fox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Just now, StriderHiryu said: A lot of ITK's on here said the deal had already been done in January. By "done" I imagine that Top and Rodgers shook hands on the deal rather than an official agreement, but I'm pretty sure it had been agreed at that point in time. I think that Rodgers would understandably want to stay with Celtic to win the 10th title in a row with them, but recent results (and more likely the home crowd) have prompted the move. Kind of surprised if he joins us now and I'm not sure that speaks that well about him as a person, but at the same time he has done a great job with them and coming in now is great for us. Working with the team now means he will know exactly what we need in the summer. They have practically won the league 8 points ahead of Rangers, they are unlikely to lose 3 games on the spin.

AjcW Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 On the one hand excellent. On the other he’ll do the same to us in two years. But that’s football so I wouldn’t hold it against him! Clearly thinks he can make a change straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was similar with Puel as shortly after a few clubs were also after managers such as Everton, though why we were so compelled to hire him I don't know. Nothing against the guy, but he was a surprise appointment. But then again I suppose Ranieri was too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely, but it's the type of move that can leave a bitter taste in the mouths of supporters. Let's say the tables were turned, would we be happy? I suppose it's all relative as when MON left though upset I had nothing against him as he had done so much for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubts in him being the right man for the job BUT the minute he's in the door, I 100% behind him. In my opinion, Puel never stood a chance. To many people made up their minds about him before he was even in the door. It's important that doesn't happen again. Spot on. I've voiced my concerns too, but he'll have my total support if installed. (But I wonder how this forum will react when we go 0-2 down after 10 minutes in his first match in charge!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 He done a decent job at Liverpool and but for the famous slip probably would have won the league. If he can bring one of two from Celtic and find another Suarez for us in the Summer that would be a real bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Hopefully we will give the man time. All I want is a steady end after this fractous and tragic season. Brendan will have the summer to mould the team he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 (edited) Wow, thought this might happen but no way did I expect it to happen now. He must be desperate to get out of Celtic or we've offered them something they can't refuse. He may also see massive potential here and might think he might not get a better offer for a while. Sorry Celtic, not only are we taking your manager, it also means Neil Lennon might be your next one. Talk about double whammy. I'm undecided on Rodgers I must admit but i'm glad it seems there is a plan and we've not gone for one of the merry go round managers.

Happy Fox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Jonathan NorthcroftVerified account @JNorthcroft 33s33 seconds ago More Jonathan Northcroft Retweeted HeraldScotland A very good match. A lot of Leicester supporting friends loved Ranieri but their favourite ever manager was Martin O'Neill. Brendan fuses the development/playing elements are LCFC looking for with a bit of the O'Neill, self-styled, 'underdog messiah' stuff. He'll go down well.
