yeah his assistants are Kennedy and Duff, very interesting as if it was going to be a longer term thing I would expect his assistants to come in.

Mourinho re-united with his ex assistant Stevie Clarke š That would do š¤£.

I have detested mourinho since Seville and would be sick if he got anywhere near Celtic Park. Last job he was on something near Ā£15mill so hopefully that puts that to bed.
Agree0

27 Feb 2019 15:40:10
Mourinho lol get real, he gets paid about 5 times what Brendan was on and NEEDS Ā£100m plus in funds every window so NO chance.
Would love Rafa whoās on Ā£100k a week at Newcastle so highly unlikely we can attract him, especially after he eventually got backed in last transfer window, with our spending history thereās no chance he would come either.
Strachan, Moyes, Clark or Lenny is realistic shortlist.

I'm sure Steve Clarke will be delighted as there is now another focal point for sectarian hatred. welcome back Lenny and all the best as it will be a lot tougher to follow BR than Mowbray.

26 Feb 2019 22:30:42
I would offer the manager's job to Rafa Benitez at the end of the season, whatever Lennon delivers. A Ā£5 million salary + bonuses, on a 3 year contract and Ā£30 million to spend on the defence. Benitez is out of contract in June and would be back in Europe again.

Few people mentioned the Salzburg manager, Marco rose, think he would be a great appointment. Could we get him though?
Agree0

27 Feb 2019 15:42:08
Great shout, donāt see why not heās spent less than we have in past 3 seasons and has built a far superior side. He would be a great appointment and is not out of reach financially.

26 Feb 2019 17:25:07
Heāll take Benkovic and be back for Tierney and McGregor in the summer and why wouldnāt he? If he offers Ā£40m for the pair Lawwell will bite his hand off as that will offset David Moyes failing to get us into the Champions League because that how Lawwellās mind works unfortunately, I lay the blame for todayās event squarely at the Celtic boardās lack of ambition, itās shocking!

26 Feb 2019 18:28:13
Lawwell should be reviewing his role in this saga, but we all know he wonāt . every time we have a successful manager he pisses them off, OāNeill, Strachan, Lennon and inflicted Mowbray and Deila on us, to me he is the problem here, heās only interested in banking money and pocketing his obscene bonus not taking the club forward!
Agree0

{Ed007's Note - Peter Lawwell is told what to do by the board.}

Kev83 just out of curiosity why are you glad he left Kennedy?
Agree0

26 Feb 2019 19:51:12
Because everything u have read or heard about him seems like he is a good coach.
Plus right now we need someone in there that has worked with these players.

Thatās my biggest fear if he comes in for Mcgregor Tierney or Forrest how could the board or the players turn down that money treble wages and about 40million.

Not Mouruniho for me horrible watching his teams how they set up and play. Marco Rose would be amazing imo.

26 Feb 2019 23:04:58
Murinho after the UEFA cup final vs Porto? We wouldn't have been happy with that appointment at his prime.
Clarke has earned a crack at it the hard way.
Rafa is the European expert and available and why not?
Lennon will endear himself with us all within 6 weeks.
What about Ranieri? I think that's who I'd like most. Sort of in the Tommy Burns mode.

Gutted definitely. Makes sense about Lenny being interim manager until the end of the season if true. One man for the job in my opinion and that is Steve Clarke.

LMAO gedceltic. If Fergus McCann was still here he would dealt with commper by now lol bottle of lucozade and bunch of grapes feck off! Lol
I like brendans timing, just after we exit Europe he is away. I reckon deal was done last summer to be honest. Bring benkovic on loan and I will sign minute we are out of of Europe. Coincidence?
Agree1
Disagree0
26 Feb 2019 15:18:37
I am truly gutted with the news and I hope NL IS ONLY to the summer wonder if it was the lack of ambition from the board more so in the summer that pushed Brendan away? Words fail me must be getting a lot of money from Leicester to let him go at this time of the year more to sit in the bank and admire.

28 Feb 2019 11:30:11
If Celtic wanted Clarke they'd have gone out this morning and got him. He'd have walked to Celtic Park in his bare feet, backwards, with a blindfold on while juggling his granny's best china. There would have been no issue sorting out a deal with Kilmarnock. HH.

Surprised and extremely disappointed with this decision. He could have seen the season out. Leicester would have waited I'm sure if they really wanted him. Like I say, disappointed. He better get used to not playing in Europe.

Personally think that Brendan asked to stay until the end of the season to deliver the treble treble, but Peter has said nope you can go right now as it will delay our rebuilding .
good luck Brendan thanks for the memories Hail Hail YNWA.

26 Feb 2019 11:11:02
Canāt believe this unreal, please though no N. Lennon even as temporary boss, let's get someone with experience in Europe and a good league theirs bound to be one or two floating about lol benetez could be a good shout.

26 Feb 2019 11:36:23
there is only one reason brendan is walking away to join a low level club and it is PETER LAWELL shame on him. i hope brendan doesn't sign any disclosure documents and comes out and tells the true fans the truth about what's going on, hh.

{Ed007's - Twaddle! The ONLY person to blame is Brendan Rodgers himself and his ego.}
26 Feb 2019 13:39:55
I agree with 007 his ego was always going to do this one day and I just hoped it would be not in the middle of a season. Poor timing by someone whoās kidded us on for 2 years reference his ādream jobā.

Find it hard to believe. I really thought he got what it meant to manage Celtic but clearly he doesnāt. I think heāll regret this decision at some point but to be honest, I donāt really care. Happy with either NL or SC and one of them can take their place in Celtic history as the guy who lead us to 10 in a row.

Chrisbhoy, NL has experience of Europe. We beat Barcelona while he was the boss.

Believable1

26 Feb 2019 09:03:16
with no statement from Rodgers or Celtic distancing for the Leicester job and now permission to speak to them, I wonder whoās decision it is for him to leave, I think Celtic will be glad as they donāt have to pay him compensation.
All about transferr kittyās and the quality of previous transfers.
Agree2
Disagree0
26 Feb 2019 09:24:20
Disgusted with him, just few weeks ago saying he was happiest heād ever been, living the dream, no problem with transfer policy, knew what the job was before he took it etc.
To leave now, mid season with a treble treble in sight and to go to a club like Leicester just shows all heās been doing is biding his time for first offer to come in.
Hope they get relegated!
Agree6

26 Feb 2019 15:28:44
Lawwell will be lapping this up, get Lenny on the cheap, save on his wages and teams wages. 6 million from Leicester, offer that to whoever the next manager in in the summer, bonus guaranteed for him and his cronies. If Rogers canāt get funds out of him to improve what chance will anyone else after winning a double treble . And still the biggest outlay in the last window was for his bonus, wake up Celtic . Heās a very good business man but from my point of view he has too much interference in the football side, even the Ukrainian winger seemed to be signed from behind Brendanās back. But still in saying all this, Iām gutted that he himself has chose to leave us in a critical point in the season. If he was in the dream job as he stated many times where is the lure of Leicester .
This is so typical of us as a club that from a position of strength we seem to throw it away.
Agree0

26 Feb 2019 00:16:03
Lot of news about LC wanting BR coming out now. The only way to stop it is BR stating heās going nowhere will be the only way to get rid of this rumour I hope he does in a strong message by saying he is going nowhere.
