No Kennie that’s not why.

Brendan Rodgers loves to spin a yarn such as the famous Danny McGrain if I’m here you are here story or the tale about Pat Bonner convincing him to take the job which Packie had no clue about

Or the tale he told about a Rangers fan stopping him in the Clyde tunnel to tell him he’s a breath of fresh air or the old Patsy the hotel lady who stands outside her hotel in her Brendan hat and scarf or what about him claiming to have named his son Anton after Celtic legend Anton Rogan and then naming Anton in his Greatest Celtic 11

You really needed to stop jumping into these conversations 2 footed thinking you have a clue, you don’t 

To be fair if someone tried to explain how to Bonnar how to tie his shoelaces he would have no clue either.

So will any manager that does a good job though? Don't get this logic myself.

 

If a Prem team comes in for your manager it's a sign they're doing well.

I mean that Rodgers is even more likely to do it.

"A narcissistic, lying fucker".....why ?

Anyone who watched that documentary filmed during his time at Anfield realised he was a narcissist and story teller then.. 

Self portraits and empty envelopes as motivational tools. Better at self promotion than coaching, but good enough for up here.

More likely than Ange?

Doesn't matter who gets the job, if they are successful....they are on the first ticket down south when an offer comes up.

I don't know if that's true. I honestly don't think Ange would have gone to one of the relegation fodder clubs. 

Tottenham I think was realistically the "biggest" job he could have walked straight from Celtic into. He (and no other manager at Celtic or Rangers) is going to get one of the "big 4" without a stepping stone club.  I don't think a manager on the world would have turned the offer he got on.

Yeah I can remember that documentary (channel 5?) and he was David Brentesque in it at times. It was because of that I actually wanted Moyes rather Rodgers when they were both linked years ago. Would be delighted to have him back though tbh.

Right!

The noise is it’s pretty much done and it’s a 3 year deal which if true is a break from the norm for us.. Leeds apparently looked to hijack at the 11th hour 

Brendan Rodgers has sold Celtic a plan to re-establish the Scottish champions as a competitive force in Europe.
The Northern Irishman is on the brink of a stunning return to Parkhead as manager, four years since he left for Leicester City.
Mail Sport broke the news of chief executive Michael Nicholson and finance director Chris McKay flying by private jet to Mallorca for face-to-face talks with the club’s number one managerial target on Saturday.
Further to those discussions, Rodgers has also held a number of in-depth conversations with major shareholder Dermot Desmond to thrash out his conditions for a second stint in Glasgow.
Key to the 50-year-old agreeing to a return is an undertaking by Celtic’s board of directors that they will invest in the players and infrastructure necessary to drive the club forward in Europe.
Frustrated by the glass ceiling on transfer spending during his first spell in charge, Rodgers wants to see the football operation reshaped and is now speaking to potential members of his backroom team.

Power broker: Celtic's major shareholder Dermot Desmond arrived in Glasgow on Tuesday . 
Attempts to persuade assistant manager John Kennedy to stay put in Glasgow are under way.
Ange Postecoglou, who left Celtic to sign a four-year deal at Tottenham Hotspur, wants the Parkhead No2 to join him in North London. Kennedy is currently considering his options.
After leaving Leicester in April, Rodgers intended to take time out of the game but has since been made several offers to make a quick return.
Recently relegated from the Premier League, Leeds United were keen to open negotiations, with other clubs also interested in the former Liverpool and Swansea boss.
A return to Celtic, where he won each of the seven trophies available to him from 2016, holds greater appeal.

Old Bhoys' network: John Kennedy, left, could stay at Celtic if Rodgers returns 
Rodgers is also thought to be motivated by a desire to mend his relationship with those supporters who turned on him after his sudden exit four years back.
Reluctant to place all their eggs in one basket, Celtic have considered a range of candidates and spoken to some via Zoom.
Bodo/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen has been mentioned in dispatches after talks with Ajax broke down.
Enzo Maresca, one of Pep Guardiola’s trusted assistants at Manchester City, will speak with the newly crowned European champions about his future this week.
The 43-year-old is understood to have already talked to Leicester about their vacancy and  his preference is to remain working in English football.
Former Norwich manager Daniel Farke and little-known Italian Francesco Farioli have also spoken with Celtic.

Hahahahaha 

Fucking Rodgers. 

Brilliant.

[Renfrewblue]

I'm loving watching the Celtic fans twist and turn to try and pretend they didn't say they'd never have Rodgers back. 

Why accept a manager they called a "traitor" back now? 

Smacks of desperation.

Whens Isla Bryson released?  Guest of honour at Parkhead next season.

Rodgers was absolutely up there as one of the comedy options. Just goes to show John Hughes is never far away either  Some of the old tweets and comments about Rodgers leaving the first time around will be absolute gold if this does happen.

Anything but a treble is a poor season for a Celtic manager now with sucky is the gulf in class.

He must have been promised some money to try and compete in the CL. That’s the only thing worth worth it’s salt.

Creepy weirdo Rodgers and Celtic are a perfect fit.

[Raidernation]

3 months in and an EPL team struggling in the bottom half of the league reach out to him, it’ll be bye bye rasellik
