KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Brendan Rodgers - how bad ?

I read he has a plan for Celtic to become a real force in The Champions League which will take 3 years or so. A "3 year plan" hehe heh heheh ........mmm hehe hhhheeeeeee. heh. aaaaah. In other words he has an excuse when they are dumped out in the group stages until 2018. It is a "building process which is part of the plan". laughing again..........:)

God we were lucky to ship him out.
I look forward to seeing him flogging steak knives on the shopping channel very soon, cause he aint a real football manager at all. Ouch!

I think the way celtic have functioned and gone about their business over the last decade has been very natural. I hope his plans are more changeable this time.

celtic already have their neighbours in their back pockets and have a great culture, therefore I'm not sure why he's called it a building process surely he just has to continue that to a greater extent.

Celtic will never be any better than they are unless there's a massive upturn in the competition in Scotland. It's good that Rangers are back up there as they've always been the main competition but they need more.

What Rangers need is to dump their misogyny and aggressive sectarian culture. If they do that it'll do much for the image of Scottish football, and for themselves as a club and fan base.

To be fair, 3 years to turn Celtic into a decent CL team is very, VERY ambitious indeed (if not, totally ludicrous!). No manager in the world could do it in any less so I think you're being a tad harsh.

The press are lauding B.R. and Celtic after their defeat to Barca, finishing winless and a distant bottom of their group and exiting from the Champions League. I guess being first to get knocked out and even before the stage of the Champions League is over is all part of the 3 year plan, so BR will be celebrating an outstanding achievement.
Yes it is a tough group, but an organized and motivated team could do better.

I think Clubs like Celtic, Ajax, Benfica, Liverpool and Probably Arsenal in that too are famous old Clubs who when it comes to Champions League they are only in it for appearance reasons. If they get a kind draw then they may got the odd chance to get out of the group but first decent Club they come up against then it's goodbye for another season or in Liverpool and Spurs case every three or four seasons. For this reason it's hard to judge Rodgers as a failure because Celtic are never going to be any different in the Champions League. I think it's far better for those Clubs mentioned to concentrate on domestic stuff and maybe pick up a Europa League which is a fairer judgement...

Rodgers was an embarrassment. David Brent , complete bs merchant God riddance

Very harsh.

I didn't like Rodgers just thought he was out of his depth, think he was always on to a loser after the lucky season because it raised people's expectation level through the roof and let's face it Liverpool fans already have expectations of grandua at the best of times so he was always gonna get the sack...
