Pool Q Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 13 hours ago, thewolf_1980 said: As soon as Rangers return, "The Stopgap" Deila has been replaced by someone who should actually know what he's doing and a lot of the cash reserves saved from not overspending on players that they don't need (and which has guaranteed no Champions League football in the interim) has now been spunked on his wages to 'ensure' that they stay on top. It's a huge compliment really. Lot of truth in that. Celtic, perfectly sensibly in my view, funded a side to win the top league in Scotland without any real competition, and they accordingly got found out in Europe. They couldn't really admit to their fans that in doing so they were effectively accepting that they wouldn't be able to compete in Europe at all. It would have been nice if Aberdeen had been able to catch them out this season, but now that Rangers are back Celtic will, I guess, recognise that they need to get the cheque book out again. I fear things will revert to type depressingly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and I do not want us to overspend, we've already seen 1 Glasgow club die, I don't want us too be the next. However, this proves the board have been desperate for them too come back whilst the vast majority of the fans have enjoyed them being away from us and the rest of the SPL. it's a very disappointing stance for them too have taken.

Undoubtedly he had one of the worlds best at his disposal but he got the best out of him sterling and Sturridge that season. It's a an exciting appointment and a good boost for the Scottish game imo that the spl can get someone of his calibre. What is this fabled calibre of his like? A failure at a top club in England?

Probs holding out for another offer and in the meantime Rodgers showed genuine enthusiasm for the job and got the gig! Im happy with the end result........just as well I'm not a big gambler.

slasher Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There's hardly a Celtic fan uses the AOB forum now and I include myself in that, so have a nice life unless I see you in person on an actual away trip. Saor Alba! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Reports saying £45k per week and a £3m buyout on his gardening leave. So over £4.5m in the first year alone. Definitely a statement of intent by the Celtic board but what will it leave for transfers? It will certainly make next season interesting.

sbcmfc Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Was a bit confused this afternoon, was working in the east end, thought Celtic must've had an end of season charity game on as I kept seeing folk who looked like they were going to a game. Turns out they were just parading Brebdan Rodgers. Seems weird to me. "Oh we've got a new manager, I'll dress head to toe in replica gear, sink a few cans (well it is 3pm on Monday...) and get a taxi down to the ground" Edited May 23, 2016 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
