  • Celtic rounded off their US trip with a 4-1 win over Chelsea meaning Brendan Rodgers’ side racked up a total of 12 goals on their travels, setting themselves up nicely for the new campaign.
    It all kicks off again this Sunday against Kilmarnock but - as it stands - the manager won’t have any new outfield signings at his disposal.
    It’s been a cause of some concern amongst supporters and we look at some of the reasons for the lack of activity so far.
    Finally, with the new campaign looming we give our big predictions as we look forward to a return of the Hoops after 10 long weeks!
    🎙️ Join Tino, James & Paddy as they discuss the above and much more in this latest Pre -Season Special.

      Cheers @CCW - I think that unless Brendan Rodgers is backed accordingly then there could be some boycotting of Champions League package.

      It seems that moves are underway to bring in a left back (Hugo Bueno from Wolves is the talk) and Taylor to then play back up.
      Not sure he thinks he's a midfielder but over the last few years he's played that inverted role and has done it fairly well for the most part.

    Rodgers can only deal with the players he is given and unfortunately he becomes the fall guy if its unsuccessful .
    It's sadly a win ,win for the Board again.
    Fans may have to challenge the Board openly and directly, an empty stadium for a game that is broadcast would send the message.

  • @felixfene0n
    @felixfene0n Місяць тому

    Timo makes some good points re the complexities of signing a player but I think misses the most important one. Players of the quality we (and especially our manager) would like, do not want to play in the SPL. So, yes we are left waiting for the scraps if we ONLY want to sign players in/around that bracket. James asks where is the person who can sell the club to a player and cites Tommy Burns and Ange (both managers) yet tellingly doesn't follow the thought through to ask himself why not Brendan Rodgers? It is clear Rodgers (unlike Ange/TB) does not want to take any responsibility for project signings/or signings below the $4-5m mark, this is a dereliction of duty as a manager of a football team. He does this solely to protect himself and his reputation. The bloodletting of the Director of Recruitment last season was part of that, and is a major reason for the impasse at the club currently. Questions should be asked, if Rodgers was involved in the removal of Mark Lawwell then what was his plan beyond that, did he have one or did he just need a sacrifice to cover his failures on the pitch and in coaching up to that point? For sure, The Board's inner workings/lack of ambition has been a problem for many years but they have also brought a lot of growth/success for the club....just as Rodgers too has brought success he brings his own recurring problems, for some reason most fans are unable/unwilling to be balanced about that. Do not be surprised if/when we start to struggle again this season, that Rodgers once again triangulates The Board and fans just as he did last season and in his first term.

      Why does this divisive nonsense re Rodgers and the Board continue when Rodgers himself has repeatedly said he and the Board are at one? Of course it's not easy Brendan getting the players he wants that's not just up to him or the Board, the players and the potential selling club have a much bigger say! That guy Owen on the Sevco site said he would love Sevco to have our Board and not the one they've got across the city.
      It's time the Board got some credit the way it has built up our club to its current healthy financial position which is the envy of most other clubs in the game.
