Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

I get the feeling that BR was not expecting that level of attack from DD. Wouldn't surprise me if he's been caught off guard big time.

 

Has anyone checked on Danny McGrain?

 

I don't think BR has enough grounds to successfully sue. Pretty sure DD run that statement by his legal team before going to print.

The fact DD accused Rodgers of self preservation, instead of the more libellous self sabotage, tells me that.

But it is all about context, and any court case can be a lottery.

 

Most embarrassing story ever lol. Tells so much about the lads insane ego

 

I think gives us an indication that Rodgers definitely isn’t innocent here, Desmond has never done that before. Need to cut cancer out the club and Desmond should be walking out the same door Rodgers did.

 

Nor our boards after the blatant lies that were in the statement.

 

Agree

 

I think this will be just like a workplaces scenario management leaves someone comes in their place and unearths a multitude of sins

You were close to Brendan Rodgers. When did you find out, and just your reaction to it?

I found out the same as everyone else. I spoke to the manager 10, 15 minutes after it, and we had a chat, which will stay private for obvious reasons. Everyone was in the same boat. It was a shock at the time.

Then very quickly, I was five minutes away from going to bed, and then you've got to deal with the aftermath of that. I spoke to some of the players, and then we came back in on Tuesday.

It's business as usual because you have a game of football to play the next day, and it's about preparing the team and preparing the players to win that, which was a must-win.



How do you think Brendan's going to be remembered here? How will you remember him here?

A very successful manager over two spells. I think, hopefully, he'll be judged on what he's done for the club. Going back 10 years, he changed the landscape of this club massively.

The professionalism has continued even the first time when he left. I think everybody looks for reasons why we were so successful even after he left the first time. It was because of the values and the work ethic that he instilled when he came in the first time. That's carried us right through a long period of time.

He's come back. He's added more success to that. Unfortunately, in football, everything comes to an end. As a club, we have a lot to thank him for. We wish him well, of course.

I've known him for a number of years now. He was amazing for my career and has done so much for me. On a personal level, I've got so much to thank him for. I'm sure whatever he does next, he'll be a big success








Is it disappointing the manner in which he's had to go?

Of course. Very rarely do you get the fairytale ending. You look at Joe Hart, that's probably the best ending I've ever seen at Celtic. That's once over, however many years I've been here.

That's football. We're all in the industry. We know how it goes. It can be brutal at times, and that's the way it is.

As long as you're here and you're in the building and you're working for a football club, you try and give as much as you can. You try to be as successful as you can for yourself and your club, and then when you move on, that is life.

 

McGregor paid more tribute to Kennedy. Didnt seem to fussed about BR

Still find it surreal that he's gone and MON is in his place, mental

If us and the huns had had a Netflix fly on the wall crew following around both clubs this season it would have broken viewing records

 

Must be an absolute stick on for the Wolves job now.

 

Looking more and more incompetent after every performance. This man had all the tools and players to keep us ticking and pull away at the top of the league, his ego and stubbornness have cost us our place in the CL and in the League

 

Not going to stick the knife in him he clearly got * off and downed tools.

Easy to forget our run in the champions league last season

 

The board still * up massively and can't be let off the hook but you can't look at that performance today and say Rodgers couldn't do better with what he had.

All hindsight now but he probably should have been binned before the Kairat game.

 

As each passing game after his departure, there's def more questions to be asked of his selections and set up.

Won't rewrite history of his successes, but the last 6 months here leave a lot of questions on.his methods and convictions.

 

Not just downing tools, he was not giving new signings a chance, he was stubborn as *. Also felt he fed Murray and Donovan to the wolves against Hearts.
