It's the first time Ange has ever taken backroom staff with him somewhere else too apparently.

Rodgers and Jesse Marshe being quoted on Sky Sports News as the 2 favourites for the Celtic job.
I find it hard to believe any Celtic is genuinely bewildered that he would leave them for Spurs. Celtic are a gigantic overfed fish in a tiny pond. Being better than Rangers is the only serious challenge the job presents. For a good, ambitious manager it's not much more than a useful stepping stone to bigger challenges.
5 million compensation should soften the blow.
I think they will go for the Man City Assistant coach they was linked with last week and if they do cash in on a few players then I'm sure the will replace them easy enough.
No chance Lennon as after last time and the hassle of would bring, interesting to see who will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
I give Ange until Xmas.
Ange confirmed on a 4 year deal. Wow, he has some agent btw!
Glad hes away. His Celtic side a lot scarier than Rodgers or Lennons.
No idea if I’m correct here and CBA looking it up but I don’t think Ange was as good in Europe as some of their previous managers (possibly due to a lack of pragmatism). It might end up helping us out if they get a more pragmatic manager in terms of keeping the coefficient up.
Hopefully a player exodus now follows him down south and substantially weakens them on the park too.
Again, it's about other teams being able to take points off them. Rangers are losing most of their strikeforce and aren't exactly looking like a stronger side as it stands.
I'm not suggesting we (or any other club) will become title contenders, but weakened OF teams enhances our chances of a trophy or Europe.
Both are bad though sevco are far worse than Celtic by some distance. In the case of two evils I'd always hope that the lesser evil wins . Nice taking points of the old firm there's no doubt about that though find taking points of sevco just that little bit sweeter
I go into every season hoping Hibs finish 3rd and win a cup which is my main hope though when it comes down to who wins the league I always hope Celtic win it over that other lot and anything that p**** the vile Hun hordes off is good in my book so for me it does matter who wins the league tbh . I'd agree we have a better chance of a cup win if Celtic are weaker though rather Celtic not weaker than sevco in all honesty 👍
I'd disagree with you there mate while both are bad for me the Huns are on another scale compared to Celtic . They couldn't even show abit of respect ( twice ) at the passing of Ron Gordon.If there was a award for most horrible club and fans in football they'd win it easily . There's only two teams that can win the league and I'd much rather see Celtic winning than them . Beating both is sweet though I do enjoy it a little bit more when it's the Huns tbh :greengrin
I think the next Celtic manager could well be on a shoogly peg.
Tough act to follow and any moment that Rangers get their noses in front will be honeymoon over.
Beale is no mug either. Depends how he recruits.
Pendulum has swung toward the middle.
Glad to see Ange gone seemed to be a very astute knowledgeable guy who could easily have gone on to do a Jock Stein
He has more than proved himself and Scotland held no further challenges for him
Wish him every success hope he takes that dangerous diving wee bassa with him and hope Celtic appoint a tumshie

The guy Maresca who is the bookies favourite has a good agent. He had a disaster in his only managerial job yet he’s being heavily linked with the Celtic and Southampton jobs. Not sure what it is that I’m missing but why would he possibly get another crack at such a big job?
Being a good assistant isn’t enough surely.
All Is Barry saying that Naismith is to be appointed at Hearts
A weak appointment IMO
Personal view, but if he is still in post after March 2024 (following whenever their Scottish Cup exit is next season) I'll be surprised.

Is Pep the GOAT manager? Think he’s the first manager to do the treble with two different clubs?
It’s difficult to define rules to measure against. What Clough did at Forrest, for example, puts him up there despite far fewer trophies. There’s also the argument Guardiola has only managed 3 of the biggest clubs in the world and had an open cheque book each time. Although I’m not sure that should be held against him as I think Man U have spent more money during Guardiola’s time at City so money doesn’t guarantee anything.
Does Pep and his success (which isn’t slowing down) and the way he has influenced the way teams play football the last 10 or 15 years make him the GOAT?
What are the metrics that differentiate? Number of trophies? Trophies won with small clubs? Impact on how football is played? Etc
As an aside. Fodden, at 23, has won 5 premier leagues. 2 FA Cups. 4 League Cups. 2 Community Shields. 1 Champions League. Frightening.
Ancelotti must be up there as GOAT owns the Champions League
Won the Champions League as a player (2) and Manager (4)
Won the five major leagues in Europe as Manager
Brazil sniffing about Madrid told them he is going nowhere
Would have to say Alex Ferguson and Pepe Guardiola as the best
Outsider maybe Mircea Lucescu ?
Pep has worked miracles with Barca, Bayern and Man City on shoestring budgets. Man is a genius.
Read somewhere that Pep is over the £1 billion signing mark with Man City. One thousand million. That was last year so much more by now. Incredible.
Who was it that said money doesn’t buy success?
thank goodness, bookies had him 2nd fav for the Elland Road job
Steven Gerrard set to become manager of Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq (sportinglife.com)
The Sun ( I know ) reporting that Celtic are offering Brendan Rodgers a bumper deal to become there manager and it also says if they lose Kennedy to spurs they will move for Scott brown as his number 2 . Also this on Queens park that seems a bit far fetched .

Press conference alone will be worth it
I'm baffled as well about it , for me he's definitely the best choice for the job . I thought the football was good when Rodgers at them the last time . Think it's more to do with the way he left tbh . The Celtic fans I've asked over here about " what you think of Rodgers coming back ?" Generally gets met with a response " He can get to ....... Or rat and Judas are quite popular words 😂. Think if he comes in and does well all will be forgiven though first sign of a blip and it probably will turn toxic for him .
Rangers fans ***** would collectively collapse if Rodgers got the Celtic job. He handed them some brutal beatings. For that reason I'm all for it.
