I think Ange was better than Rodgers, he had a great first season but I think the bottom of it was falling out when he was on his way, an incredible coach I don’t think he signs well teams seem to go backwards the more chance he has to recruit.Quote:

Ange postecoglou is a top Manager and has transformed Celtic from a team you'd fancy your chances against to one your hoping not to get a doing from . Think there's a lot more to it than just spending money.Quote:

Celtic fan in work saying Rodgers has been offered the Celtic job and he's expecting both Postecoglu leaving and Rodgers appointment to happen within a day or two. Could all be nonsense mind you, but Rodgers back to Celtic makes sense.
There was noise last week Rodgers had recently bought a house in Glasgow. Usual 'fitba forum' rumour nonsense, but maybe there was some value to it.
Either way, thank **** Ange is away. A very good tactician with an eye for quality players, who (let's be honest) has been pretty untouchable since arriving in Scotland.
Hope he takes some of the quality players he's signed with him, and that this weakens Celtc for next season.
Definitely money helps and even if Since 452 spent £50 million badly he should easily finish 2nd and have a chance of a cup though lennon was in this position also and he got pushed out the door . A string of bad results and even 2nd place wouldn't save your job as winning the league is the primary goal at Celtic.Quote:

Tom English just been on Radio 5 saying it’s a fine deal so Celtc will be on the look for another manager. Maybe Pep fancies it….
Which kind of sums up the absolutely ridiculous money these guys are on.Quote:

The compensation is a lot higher than I’d have thought, a 12 month-rolling contract would payQuote:

I'm loving Celtic's fans reaction to this.Quote:

Now Ange wants to take him to Spurs it's ripping the backroom staff away, denying them continuity and proof Ange is a snake.
Self entitled half wits.
With compensation such as £5M it makes managerial change for Celtic much less of an upheaval than it can be for the rest of us.
Just another advantage they hold over us. Can basically hand pick who they want in the door next without any fuss.
Rodgers 'not interested' in Celtic return apparently. Be hilarious if they end up with Lennon again.
Heard it from someone who would know. Media were reporting it this morning too.Quote:

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

Celtic apparently don't want to lose Kennedy though wither they hang on to him or not is another matter . I will be sorry to see Ange go tbh .Quote:

Aye, a lot of them seem to have taken the hump when I tweeted the club wishing Ange all the best at a bigger and better club. I think the "seethe" is high amongst them, glorious funQuote:
