Rodgers to Leicester

[A_S]

Getting a good look at your new squad for 10-game stretch has to be an advantage in terms of assessing his players. They are mid-table, so it's a bit of a free swing in that regard. 

 

At the expense of completing what looks to be a title-winning season though? That makes it harder to work out. Perhaps the Leicester owners didn't give him the option of seeing out the season with Celtic, which would make it more difficult again.

Souness left Rangers to join us around this time in 1991, when Rangers were close to winning another league title. Granted, Souness was returning to his old haunt and Liverpool were still in contention to retain their title back then, while Rodgers has no previous affiliation with Leicester and is joining a club mired in mid-table, but it's not unusual for managers to leave the Old Firm even when things are going well up there.

Brendan will bring loads of traffic back to the forum. You have to admit his reign was a high point for football humour.

Rodgers strikes me as the kind of guy who would include last night's win over Brighton on his CV even though he probably only met the players just before kick-off.

“It is great for the public here at Leicester to see me”, said manager Brendan Rodgers. “They must have been wondering what this manager everyone is talking about is all about and now they have seen. I was wonderful.”

Fairly certain you can get that on prescription

Loving the Celtic fans calling him a fraud. Can we start calling him Fraudgers again?

Have they not seen the portrait??

I think the thing that really sums up Brendan Rodgers is his assertion that hope will sustain a person for a lot longer than water.

That was the cut Shawshank scene, featuring an inmate who’d recently had a grand piano dropped on his head pitching into Red and Andy’s pivotal conversation.

Sounds like one of Brendan’s own lines. ‘I said to him, you’re a wonderful young talent and a wonderful human being, but do you have the application to ensure immortality rather than mediocrity?’

Frog protection??

Immortality for winning a title with no competition endlessly is not in the same stratosphere as the likes of the Lisbon Lions. They are pretty close with the use of the word fraud though.

Celtic fans completely overestimating their place in the world of football in terms of being a draw is funny. Delusions of grandeur thinking any manager wouldn't leave them for a premier league job mid-season.

They are still a massive club historically though,there is no denying it. Scottish football has been passed by and its a crying shame though.

Shut up you tit

They're shite and so is he.

[TheHowieLama]

And so is Leicester - they are perfect together.

 

Like a shite threesome.

Celtic are better than you. 

 

And Vardy is better looking.

He's a decent domestic manager no doubt, I reckon he'll keep Leicester in the top 8 every season until he's sacked. Absolutely woeful and clueless in Europe, though. Gets far too much credit for us nearly winning the title in 2013/14. It was Suarez's magic that took us to the brink, and Brendan's stubborn stupidity that cost us. And boy does he have an ego. Comes across as an unlikeable guy, and by ditching his "boyhood club" in the middle of the season he's shown what an ambitious, ruthless cunt he is. Can't blame the Celtic fans for being so pissed at him.

I didn't see any humour about his reign the day Stoke eviscerated us.
