    Was never going to work, his style of play is miles different from Nuno's.

    He should have known it wouldnt work there either, but i suppose its a good payday for him.

    I know we should always move on from previous managers, but if Rodgers does leave and he's still out a job then pls Celtic.

    Poison chalice even taking the job when he couldn't even get his own players in. Stupid decision to even take it.

    As was obvious from the get go, Ange had no chance of being successful at that club.
    But 39 days, walks out with 2 or 3 Mill, no bad work if you can find it :101:

    He’s part of the ‘merry-go-round’ now…

    They all make more money from being sacked and not working than they do while in the job… and there’s always another club down the line to repeat the process.

    Id love a job where I got paid shitloads to * off for doing it badly.

    Mental decision to hire him weren't going to even give him half a chance.

    Would have Ange over Brendan, at least the football was more entertaining to watch rather than the slow turgid pass back to the keeper * on offer now.

    Be interesting to see where he goes next. Can’t see any EPL side touching him for a while. Certainly enjoyed watching Celtic more under Ange than Brendan

    Mixed feelings with this one he thought the grass was greener elsewhere.If he stuck in and stayed with us they would be building statues outside the stadium for him. Penny for his thoughts tonight.

    While the current board are in charge he's coming nowhere near us.

    Ange needs a team that plays attacking football and can dominate and that suits us perfectly. But we have ambition and dont really want to progress so rules him and most other decent managers out.

    Would have him back in a heartbeat but unfortunately the Board do not share the same ambition as Ange, they would prefer a Maloney/Kennedy Dream Team.

    Spurs meant more money to him but he'll never be at another club the size of Celtic

    No team in one of the top 5 leagues will touch him after this

    Imagine he’ll retire now or take a job in Greece or Australia. Would love him back but can’t see it unfortunately especially the way he’s treated by the media.

    I just can't understand why he took that job. It's genuinely the dumbest thing I've ever seen him do. I knew he'd fail at this and I'm not claiming any special knowledge or insight here, it was just obvious.

    The sad thing is that he's a much better manager than that has made him look.
