Brendan Rodgers

My view is if he moves there he's putting himself in the Gordon Strachan bracket. I think I 9th placed Prem team would be better for him. Swansea or some **** like that.

I think he is in the Strachan bracket. He just doesn't realise it yet!

Or Chelsea.

If he wins a few league titles, and gets Celtic playing attractive football, as well as displaying a decent showing in Europe, then he could easily put himself in the window for a mid-table position in the Premier League, and still keep his ambitions of coaching abroad alive.

[Buzzo]

I think he's making a smart choice. If he took a PL job and failed, he may struggle to restore his rep. Realistically he is not going to **** it up at Celtic and if he can get them through to the CL Group stages he'll be well thought of.

Celtic beat Barca in the CL as recently as 2012, so the potential is massive if he can get the team right. I'd imagine a lot will depend on how much cash he is given, because the last few seasons Celtic have spent very little.

...the possibility remains that he will be further exposed as a limited coach should they get through in Europe.

*ugh, feels wrong to be saying positive things about Celtic...

Terrible move - almost anyone (see Ronnie Delia) can manage Celtic to a League title. He'll get no credit for that and it won't make him any more attractive for a larger club in England. No ambition taking this job.

Jokin aren't ya? If Brendan wins the league with Celtic, and qualifies them for the CL he'll be thought of as one of the top managers in world football, in his mind.

That's all that really matters tbh.

Got to agree. I think it would be a bad move for Rodgers, he needs a decent Premier League club to come in for him and try and convince the doubters that he isn't a fraud.

So lose the title to Rangers...that's even worse!

Rangers are back so it's not the walk in the park it was. He should get a few trophies on his CV up there and then land a middling job on the premier league. Not sure about lack of ambition, no top club will take him on so going somewhere to fight for titles is a good move in my book.

This is a good move for Rodgers. He was fast tracked too quickly to get to manage us.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on up here, I'm thinking his vast amounts of flannel will get him mercilessly ripped. However, if he can get them performing I Europe and winning the obligatory double, then he will have done well enough to perhaps get him another shot at a big job.

Could be a good development opportunity for some of our youngsters too, if he did come knocking. Ibe maybe, if we want to send him on loan.

I imagine he'll put a bid in for Allen, but it won't be enough for us to consider selling.

Have Celtic's top brass not seen Rodgers' Euro record?

[Gingawaria]

They've been on autopilot since Rangers were relegated really.
