Amorim going from the Superliga to the Premier League and Man Utd is a massive step up, Utd we're not, also Utd have been after Amorim before they won the FA Cup.

Also he will get backed over there, they backed Ten Hag with £600m

I don't think we're as a big a draw that some fans think we are, certainly to other managers.

Regardless of where we finish this season we are a significant step up from Bournemouth. It would be like the managerial equivalent of when Leicester won the league (whilst Chavski had a disastrous season) and they still nabbed Kante from them the following season. Money and the prestige of the club are the most important factors.

Also in regards to Amorim they can't even properly back him because of FFP and they probably made him aware of this and he still joined. They are now banking on someone paying big for Rashford, Mainoo and Garnacho to bring anyone in.

Makes you wonder about all those Celtic fans that were coming in here waxing lyrical about how orgasm-inducing his attacking football was. I mean what difference is it Rodgers or Ange, they dominate every fucking game they play in regardless who is in charge, you get no credit for winning anything in Scotland with Celtic but you get fucking hounded if you don't win all the domestic pots on offer.

On the Celtic forum, even quite a few on there had second thoughts about Ange, and one even said they'd rather keep Rodgers than take Ange back.
Think they are as divided as we were at one stage of Ange's tenure, although the difference in quality of leagues would have changed the fans perception of him.

I'm not saying he wouldn't come in the Summer, I'm questioning whether he would come now, apart from money there's 0 incentive of leaving his post now where he could finish the season with Bournemouth to come to a club in disarray with half a squad in the injury room.

Much better for him to wait and then assess until the end of the season.

I'd be instructing my agent to put the offer on hold until he finishes with Bournemouth, verbal agreement.

Anyone considered Sebastian Hoeness? Done a great job at Stuggart. And wouldn't be a total departure from possession based game, he's reasonably flexible with his structures (Could bring Angelo Stiller with him).

I would prefer Glasner if we're looking for a coach like that. Does a great job at Palace, kind of possession based, won Europa with Frankfurt. Doesn't mind a challenge as he left "his" club Ried to go to their biggest rivals that were one league below.them at that time.

Rodgers won back to back trebles and had an invincible season in his first two seasons at Celtic. It's really not the achievement it was made out to us to be when we hired him.

Rodgers is actually quite a good manager. It's a shame that he's bottled the title, and multiple top 4 finishes with Leicester. Either way, we would improve, considering the standards we are at now. I say shame, in the perspective of being a potential candidate.

That subreddit is full of clueless yanks who think being a "real" fan means being behind the players and the manager no matter what. No negativity allowed. But it's even starting to get through some of their thick skulls now.

TBF the first bolded bit is true but the second is also true of at least 60-75% of THIS very forum...and most of those are English folks. Both situations are sad.

I'm not really trying to disparage Brendan Rodgers too much here tbh, with a tiny bit more luck he would've been the first man to win the PL with Liverpool, plus that team scored 101 goals which is no mean feat. Also winning the FA cup and having Leicester competitive for European spots was an achievement in and of itself, they've hardly gone from strength to strength since they parted ways with him. I don't really know why no PL clubs were really interested in him before Celtic got him, or why it seems he is never considered a serious suggestion if he's linked to Spurs, he is a way way better manager than Postecoglou and his teams play good football by and large.

Should be fine with people changing their mind tbh. IDK why theres a culture on the internet of calling people out because their views changed, isn't that a really natural thing, you get provided with insurmountable evidence and choose to account for it in your opinion?
Plus end of the day I think everyone really just wants to see the club do well, some of us think thats under Ange and the vast majority of us don't, I'd really like to see him gone asap because the fanbase is toxic as fuck right now and we could really do with a lift.
