Liverpool back to the top by the slimmest of margins. We're not playing great football but would rather be top by a point than 2nd by a point.City have a game against Man Utd coming up which could prove important. Possibly the first time ever I will hope they win.

Both teams still also have to play Spurs. Those will be crucial ganes.

A lifelong Celtic fan who talked up Tommy Burns wouldn't leave at the first sniff of a PL club coming in for him mid-season, that's all I'm saying.

i think that is SHOCKING that rodgers has up sticks and just left, probably because it's been in a single short day, wonder if the board looked at an unemployed lennon and said they'd rather have him instead .....

Two years of Glasgow's football sectarianism was enough for Brendan.

Stands to reason he'd want to move to a better league.

Speaking as a Celtic fan, I can attest that Brendan Rodgers is an absolute rat and a charlatan.
If he'd left at the end of the season I'd have been disappointed but he would have gone with my best wishes and the support of the Celtic fanbase. But to do so at such a critical point in the season where there's a league to be won and a Scottish Cup up for grabs is disgraceful.
What riles up the Celtic fanbase more than anything is that he spent the better part of three years telling us all how he grew up a Celtic fan, was a mad fan growing up, that he idolised Tommy Burns and even quoted the man at his unveiling, and that it was his dream job. We stood up for him when he made questionable statements and hit back at the David Brent comparisons. A proper Celtic man wouldn't even have entertained the thought of leaving before two difficult games against the Edinburgh sides and with Rangers trying to mount a title challenge.
To slink out the back door without even saying goodbye shows the REAL character of Brendan Rodgers. Martin O'Neill's wife had cancer and even he stayed until the end of the season. Wim Jansen constantly fell out with the board but stuck it out long enough to leave a Celtic legend. Gordon Strachan has admitted he stayed a season longer than he would've liked but held on for one more year out of respect to Peter Lawwell and to maintain continuity after the sad death of Tommy Burns. Even Ronny Deila when he was getting battered from pillar to post by the fans and media walked away with dignity at the end of the season.
Tommy Burns was a proper Celtic man, and only left because he was told to go. He was asked if he wanted to leave through the back door but Burns said no, he would walk out the front door like a ****ing man and meet the fans who had supported him through his time as manager. To think that Rodgers used the fans' love of Burns to get him in our good books is disgusting. Meanwhile Rodgers high tails it the second a Premier League club comes sniffing about.
As far as I'm concerned, Brendan Rodgers is persona non grata and if it was up to me he would be no longer welcomed in Glasgow. Goodbye and good riddance, you waste of space.

Quite frankly if it's true that he made up a story about telling Danny McGrain he always had a job at Celtic - which McGrain denied happening months ago - just to suck up to the fans then he's a sociopath who's for the watching. Probably made up the Tommy Burns quote he made at his unveiling as well. And he was trying to take not just his usual coaching staff of Chris Davies and Kolo Toure, but coaches who have been at Celtic for years such as John Kennedy who is rated highly at Celtic, and Stevie Woods the goalkeeping coach who improved the likes of Artur Boruc and Fraser Forster and helped Craig Gordon resurrect his career after near-retirement. For all he knew that would've left Celtic with no coaching staff of any kind before two of our biggest games of the season. He didn't know that Neil Lennon would be coming in to save the day. In short, Rodgers can go do one.

It's part of the game. Celtic will piss the league and the cup easily with no problems whatsoever.

As you say managers come and go all the time, but my problem - and along with the vast majority of Celtic fans - with Rodgers was his behaviour on the last two days and his attempts to try and leave us with hardly any infrastructure in terms of coaches for an interim manager to work with. As well as the whole "I grew up a Celtic supporter and dream job and yadayada" that I said earlier. It's mainly the timing that has Celtic fans up in arms. The league is a lot tighter this season than it has in previous years, and while Celtic should go on and win the league comfortably there's no guarantees of that.

If it's too easy, the team gets too complacent and it can't be too exciting for fans for the league to be a procession.

While I do enjoy a title race as much as anyone, any football fan telling you they don't enjoy winning all the time is telling you a lie. And if you got your dream job, unless the situation descends to CM Punk level of just outright frustration, you don't walk out the way he did. He's also left us with a half-baked squad that outside of 14-15 players is pretty questionable with aging players, expiring contracts, short term loans, players who hardly get a game but can't shift off the wage bill and a massive rebuilding job in the summer.

And if you got your dream job, unless the situation descends to CM Punk level of just outright frustration, you don't walk out the way he did. Dream job or not, I think it comes down to the fact that the Celtic job doesn't improve his reputation after a certain point, and it's not as if there's a challenge for him there. He's won everything there is to win in Scotland and he's done it blindfolded with one arm tied behind his back. Sure, his exit hasn't been the most loyal of things, but loyalty in football is a quaint concept. Claudio Ranieri was fired today after less than 20 games in charge. Ten games without a win and Rodgers himself may have found himself out of a job.
