Now the reason for them to go and get 'De bore is if they have a Dutch manager it would be a perfect excuse to have an Orange away kit.

Can't argue with logic like that.!

Given the latest misquotes from Dermot will the media ever learn? I, like most other fans, believe that the constraints on advancement European wise might lead BR to consider a move. This however is by no means a done deal.

Looking at the man himself he is clearly a principled and clever individual. He has stated countless times how much he loves the club and how happy he is. He is also ambitious, talented people usually are. He has also stated that he would fancy a crack in Spain. Honestly, i think the EPL is no big deal for him.

He also lost both parents at a pretty early age, this focuses the mind, believe me i know. Life is different after that stuff. Contentment is a wonderful thing, don't underestimate it. Besides who can say for sure he can't achieve his goals with Celtic?

Might he fancy the idea of becoming a Maley or Stein? A huge figurehead that echoes through the clubs history? His wife loves it here, that always helps, but BR loves Celtic. Overhaul everything at the club, set the standards and move up to the board while still in control of all football matters working with a manager he has mentored for the job.

Nothing is set in stone. but to be the guy in charge at ten in a row, now that's big.

Can't see him moving up to the board or mentoring any future successor. A manager should have full control! I said on here previously a manager of Brendan Rodgers stature would only come to this league ( I get he's a fan) if he was giving specific guarentees. Bear in mind he signed a 4 year deal to begin with if I'm not mistaken so the board have obviously giving him assurances that sufficient funds will be made available to him to achieve his objectives which Brendan was clearly satisfyed with hence why he signed. This is only the start the best is yet to come👍.

{Ed007's Note - Rodgers initially signed a one-year rolling contract but then signed a four-year deal at the end of last season.}

My personal shout for Arsenal would be Diego Simeone before BR, and hopefully they get Diego Simeone.

Keep BR at Celtic, failing that then DD should fight tooth and nail to keep him. Unless there's a wee clause or agreement between these two guys.

Coming through the darkness in your life takes time and one can only see a flicker of light at times, but as time passes that light get's brighter and we get more bolder and confident to take on bigger challenges, or we understand where we need to be and accept what we have is all that we need. my hied hurts. Hail Hail.

He will leave but not before the 10, that was the reason he signed the 4 year deal.
The MSM are just desperate for him to go.

20 Apr 2018 15:16:50
I stand corrected ED, again 4 years is a massive commitment and Brendan hasn't done that just because he is a fan, he has objectives and the board have convinced him that they are prepared to help him achieve them.

I don't think there is any doubt Brendan wants to be the manager who leads the club to 10 in a row. He also has ambitions of making an impression in Europe. He will also expect the board to get our big players tied down and only accept outrageous bids for any of our big hitters.

The Sevco element in the media can't accept Celtic acting like a big club and will make any negative headlines they can in terms of linking our manager and players with every club out there in the hope it returns the new club to " where they belong". Let the good times roll! hail hail.

20 Apr 2018 16:40:32
BR said he wants to leave a legacy hh.

20 Apr 2018 17:48:10
It is only natural that BR's name will be mentioned for the Arsenal job. Especially by smsm who are desperate to undermine anything we do.
Now they have the perfect channel to dampen their attack on sevco and turn towards headlines for us and loss of BR.
However, I believe that to achieve the success that Arsenal want then they will look abroad. I base this on the recent success of Man City and Liverpool and let's not forget Man Utd are not exactly unsuccessful under Mourinho.
I also believe BR wants to achieve something here and will still be in a nice position to leave after the 10.
BR is also a man of honesty and integrity and, having signed the 4 year deal will not walk away and be seen as a mercenary.
Although, I also bear in mind, Celtic today stated they would not block BR should Arsenal approach.

20 Apr 2018 17:53:42
Paper talk however maybe coincidence but BR came out yesterday to say he was happy at Celtic and it seemed an out of the blue comment? I posted about it. Wonder if his agent was approached re Arsenal and that prompted his statement or maybe im looking for something that's not there.

20 Apr 2018 19:59:02
The club should never stand in anyone's way imo, big clubs move on👍.

21 Apr 2018 01:15:32
some people may look at Arsenal's stadium and think Arsenal in the EPL is a big club .
Others look at Celtic Pk in the East End of Glasgow in a Country population of 4.5 m approx and take a look at Celtic 's history and would also say a big club . Why risk career on going to Arsenal whose out going manager has been there for 22 years . I remember a big club in EPL whose manager was there even longer and who have appointed 3 managers subsequently and all three have been various degrees of failure
Is Brendan a fool?

Ed007 if you're around. What are the chances of Tierney to Old Trafford? Ed002 says we like the look of him but maybe he isn't considered ready? Personally I think he's a cracking player, but I can only see him staying at Celtic for another 2 years or so? Which is not a bad thing for him, massive potential!
Caolán.

{Ed007's Note - It'll be a lot more than two years before there's a chance of any team prising KT away from Celtic, Caolan. He has ambitions to win 10 in a row and to captain Celtic to trophies when Scott Brown's time is up. Even if the Club accepted a crazy bid for him I'm certain that KT would turn down the move.
If - and it's a very big if for me - KT ever decides to leave I know he has a bit of a soft spot for Man Utd so that would probably be his preferred destination but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he stayed with us for his entire career as long as the Club is winning trophies, investing in the team and playing regular CL football.
Tierney is doing what he has wanted his whole life - to play for Celtic, his love and passion for the Club is up there with any fan who sits in the stands and on the rare occasions that he's not playing he's in the crowd with the 'real' supporters instead of in amongst the prawn sandwich mob being pampered.}

ED007 don't you realise it is a "done deal" Tierney to Manchester United £10m and Dembele to Marseille £15m and according to all those media chappies, we should be grateful for getting THAT much, with our £25m booty maybe we should try and sign Morelos. lol.

{Ed007's Note - £10 million for KT! (lmfao)

20 Apr 2018 12:42:14
By staying 2 years I mean for his development as a player, not that he would actually leave after! I’m a big fan and would love him at Old Trafford but at the same time you can’t be disappointed when a kid is living the dream, and 60,000 every week almost get to live it through him. I’d love him at United, but I don’t mind watching him at Parkhead either! Cheers for the info 007!

{Ed007's Note - You're welcome mate.}

20 Apr 2018 13:10:18
Great, affirmative response, Ed.

{Ed007's Note - Thank you kind Sir.}

20 Apr 2018 16:12:44
I think he might leave sooner rather than later. Maybe in 2 or 3 years. No matter how much you love a club the salary on offer from EPL teams is hard to turn down for anyone. Celtic unfortunately can’t compete with £100k + per week.

20 Apr 2018 16:42:35
What if BR does go who would be next in?

20 Apr 2018 18:03:30
Rich T, we have been blessed with Martin o'neil, now Brendan. Even if Brendan chooses pastures new? I would like to think DD and the board have thought out a suitable replacement after last season's acheivements.

21 Apr 2018 01:23:12
I will be dead and gone before K Tierney leaves Celtic .
I don't intend going in the next five years minimum .
Tierney tells us every month he loves Celtic . He plays as if he loves the club .
Stop putting your club down, if a Celtic fan gets the opportunity to star for Celtic, there may be no need and no sense in leaving the club to go to somewhere "big " and be miserable .

21 Apr 2018 10:42:52
£10m for Tierney? Is some can’t on Crack?

Feckin £10m?

I’m sitting here nursing a hangover, but I managed an out loud Feck Off, when I read that. :)

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Football-Rumours Editors Premier League Season Awards

20 Apr 2018 11:19:58
You tell 'em 007 😂.

{Ed001's Note - he seems a little confused, must be his age....}

20 Apr 2018 11:34:14
I didn't want to just pick all Celtic players as that would have been too easy and all the English Pub League snobs will need to look up who I'm talking about :)

{Ed001's Note - I thought it was obvious, though I was amazed at your knowledge of NHL players and how you knew the surname of a Magic Roundabout character!}

20 Apr 2018 11:48:39
😂😂😂 ed 007s team would skelp that mediocre foreign side 😂😂😂.
