I’m not sure why we need to turn everything into a pointless argument.
I don’t want to speak on
Deuterz
behalf, but he’s not saying he *can’t* step up, simply that it’s more of a long shot than other options. Like, for example, Nagelsmann, who at the very least has gone through the inferno of Bundesliga and CL, and had experience of a giant in Bayern.I most assuredly hope that Ange rises to the challenge, but I’m categorically not accepting that SPL success means anything.

Ffs look at you, actually reading posts & understanding them and then doing logic and shit.
Ange is THE ONE. Levels of competition in football mean absolutely nothing at all. His vertical tiki taka high possession cumball could translate to victory at any level.
I know this without doubt as I religiously watch Celtic.
Why does there have to be a queue of clubs after him? There isn't exactly one for Nagelsmann is there? He turned down Chelsea, he's been linked to us and a couple of others, but no offers. Did Leeds, Leicester or Everton try to entice Nagelsmann over?
I don't get why some people get so bent out of shape over this. I like Nagelsmann, I rate him highly. If we were to get him I'd be more than happy, though I have reservations as I've posted before. I'd also be happy if we got Postecoglou in because I rate him very highly, as does anyone else on here who's witnessed how he can transform a team. I'll still have reservations there though obviously, as he's untested in the Prem. What I do know though is that we'll enjoy the Football we play.
How many on here have drooled over the way Brighton play? Well that is the brand of Football all Postecoglou teams play. Fearless, front foot attacking play with flair. He promotes talent, and trusts them.
Forget his age, Hodgeson is still going strong at nigh on 20 years his senior. Doesn't matter what your age is if you're good enough. Using his age as a stick to beat him with, especially comparing it against Guardiola, is as weak an argument as you can get.
We'll enjoy his Football if we get him. For some reason, saying this seems to make some people angry.
No they just don’t agree with you.
Or at least, they’re accepting of the distinct possibility he will fail here. Because, unlike Hodgson, he’s completely unproven at anything like the top level of football.
He’s never managed a league that is even in the top 10. Scotland is mostly league 1 level. The times Celtic have played outside of the Scottish bubble haven’t gone well.
Saying these things seem to make people angry, but they’re facts. Brendan Rodgers has the better CV, the better record in Scotland & his teams are well coached.
Also facts. And nobody wants him. Why? Because he’s managed at Premier League level where just being a good coach isn’t enough & you get exposed.
He actually had them on 10 more points, undefeated & he won back to back trebles in Scotland while scoring a bazillion goals.
BECAUSE ITS FOOKING SCOTLAND.
Rodgers is a proven PL manager, he is a good coach........fans dont want him because they consider him weird, arrogant and simply his face doesn't fit. This is wrong and unfair imo
Geez hurry up and appoint someone just so these tedious arguments can stop.
No appointment - apart from maybe Naglesmann - is gonna be met with universal support.
Whoever gets hired isn't a guaranteed success or failure.
I was very much for Poch.
Then I was very much for Naglesmann.
Then I convinced myself Slot was the bomb.
Whoever it ends up being, I'll be all in on them cos it's a new start. The hope of better footy. Looking forward to matches. New players. New style.
Unless it's Brendon Rodgers.
I'll cry for days if it's that weirdo.

It really does feel like Brendan would be the absolute 'we couldn't get anyone else' uninspired selection. Not a bad coach but yesterday's man - nothing to get hyped about in the season to come.
It would be Nuno version 2. Maybe marginally better.
Bed/bath sf? Need to know if I'm going to set a price to take this action.
Can’t understand why Thomas Franke is not been suggested more.
What has Rodgers ever accomplished?
His 3 notable accomplishments as manager of premier league clubs over parts of 10 seasons:
- Ran 2nd with Liverpool once
- Won a FA Cup
- Dug the grave to bury Leicester's PL membership in
Wouldn't say he's "proven".
As mentioned, Brighton were after him when Potter left.
But they make horrible decisions up and down the board, as we know. So we probably shouldn't listen to what they do.
Btw, I first mentioned Ange in March, a few weeks before Conte was even sacked. Said it would be a gamble. And then said how I liked him 2 weeks after he was sacked.
But then the Nagelsmann stuff happened and I like de Zerbi. So they were always my choices. As time went on, it's looked increasingly unlikely de Zerbi would be possible and Nagelsmann seems to be a typical Levy screw up. So Ange was always on my mind.

Maybe he didn't treat you quite as good as he should
Typical Aussie
I don't like Rodgers at all but this isn't fair. All four of his major jobs (Swansea, Liverpool, Celtic, Leicester) were highly successful, at least for a portion of them.
Really?
Liverpool before Rodgers: 2nd, 7th, 6th, 8th
Liverpool with Rodgers: 4th, 2nd, 7th, 6th
Liverpool after Rodger: 4th, 4th, 2nd, 1st
Leicester before Rodgers: 1st, 12th, 9th, 9th
Leicester with Rodgers: 5th, 5th, 8th, 7 defeats in 10 matches
Leicester after Rodgers: Relegated.
His Swansea PL stint, 1 year, wasn't long enough to matter, and I count no one's time at Celtic as meaningful.
I'd love Ange over any of them but I'm Aussie so everybody else can garn get fucked. It is amusing watching the same people who whined about how shit Jose and Conte were complaining about Ange because he isn't a big name. Ange is the complete opposite of those flogs. The football will be a lot of fun even if we don't win as much as we did with Conte. I think he will at least take the cups seriously seeing what he is doing with Celtic presently. I don't care about being Top 4 FC.
As for Naglesmann I wonder if when he asked who the DOF was going to be Levy said it was him. "No but seriously who is it?"
Headline: "Whilst Spurs admire Naglesmann they don't feel he is..."
Define 'proven' ?
I don't like Rodgers as a person nor do I don't think his teams are particularly exciting to watch but to think he isn't a proven coach is a bit of a wild take.
