DA Baracus Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 What’s all this nonsense about the ‘timing’ of it? The timing was solely down to Leicester having a vacancy. It’s not as if Rodgers suddenly decided that he’d had enough and fucked off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Best wishes to him although timing was surprising. Personally I think it isn't a bad time for a change. Been a bit stale this season at times and his European record isn't an improvement on previous managers. A new manager ...strengthen the playing staff and a fresh outlook for next season .To achieve what exactly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester have little to play for this season where as Celtic very much do. If they really wanted him he could have said he would come end of season but Im guessing he didn’t want to risk putting that demand in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So let's get this right. Player or manager joins Celtic from Aberdeen/ICT/Dundee, at least doubling his wages, probably more likely on 4 times the money. Celtic fans:......................................... Player or manager leaves Celtic for a club in The Barclay at least doubling his wages, probably more likely on 4 times the money. Celtic fans: Fucking judas ***, tranny shagging cunt bastard. Where's the fuckin loyalty in football byraway!!!!!!!!!!111!!"!!!!!. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The heads gone from some sections of the celtic support is quite hilarious. The best quotes I've read about him creating history around 10 in a row are the best. He created history by winning back to back trebles but it was still all about 10, why, because the 10 involves something to do with 'beating rangers'. The thing is that no one outside of the rangers and celtic supports particularly cares if they reach 10, unless it's someone other than rangers that stops them. Dinamo Zagreb recently won 11 titles on the spin, BATE Borisov are currently on a run of 13, can anyone name me the managers that led those clubs to these historic achievements. Also a quick question for the Celtic supporters, I know many of you have no self awareness at all, but would there not be a small part of you a little sad that if you won 10 in a row, these teams would be considered historically better than the 60's-70's team that won 9? Or would all that matter be that you beat rangers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, no this Celtic nor any I'd imagine will ever be considered better than the team of the late 60s -early 70s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to reports this morning they were willing to wait and Rodgers wanted to go immediately. Doesn't matter anyway, onwards and upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think if the Celtic team of 2016-2017 played the Celtic team of 1966-1967 tomorrow, the 2016-2017 team would win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta. Also its got nothing to do with beating a record. Its all to do with rangers. If rangers hadn't won 9 would there be such a clamour to beat your own 9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion, we reached the last 16 of champs league under Strachan twice and Lennon once, I'd like to see us at least getting close to competing again! Possibly wishful thinking in the current climate, but as football fans I think that's the idea, optimism? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure that the Leicester hierarchy would agree that they have little to play for. Before last night they were in freefall and only eight points off the relegation spots. They obviously weren’t wanting to put the future of their club in the hands of a caretaker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I made that point? I never mentioned Rangers, you did, twice now I think. To break 9 in a row it's not about 1 team, 1 manager, 1 group of players. Therefore I don't think any individual team acheives it and therefore can claim to be the 'best' The best Celtic team of all time will always be the Lisbon Lions unless something happens to change the landscape of football and we compete at that level again, which I highly doubt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
