The_Kincardine Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Principal Flutie said: Brendan Rodgers peaked in his first season. It was always downhill from there, and that's where it's gone. I don't really see what, other than winning the treble for a third time, could keep him where he is. I honestly thought he'd see out the season at the very least, but if he's thought that an opportunity like this wasn't going to come up again soon then it's a bit of a no brainer. I was reading The Times on the train this morning and the back page article had it that Leicester were prepared to wait until the end of the season but Brendan wanted out now. Most of the article is behind a paywall but isn't worth reading anyway: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/leicester-pay-celtic-6m-for-brendan-rodgers-g6bzwq020 Leicester’s Thai owners did not balk at a £6 million compensation package for Celtic and had been willing to wait until the summer for the Northern Irish manager. However, Rodgers, 46, was willing to move back to England immediately and take over at a club that are 11th in the table after a poor run under Claude Puel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really interesting 'perspective' is that Leicester were prepared to wait until the end of the season...unless you're suggesting that Celtic took the money to let Brenda run knowing they have 8 IAR in the bag.

killiekranky Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Leicester spent a reported £121M on their squad this season, Celtic bought Jolly Boy Johns Mobile Disco ! We will probably never know why Brendan left. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Why exactly do Celtic supporters think they're such great supporters? Do they genuinely see themselves as a plucky few stalwarts standing up against the might of some overpowering empire? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
