Brendan Rodgers yet again proved what a class act he is by giving a straightforward and effective media conference yesterday afternoon, professing he wants what’s best for the club, and I for one believe that he is completely genuine. If only we could say the same about his bosses!
As much as I’d love him to stay, I’ve sadly resigned myself to Brendan Rodgers ending his second spell with the club this coming summer. I’m sorry to say it but I think it’s now inevitable, and deep down every Celtic supporter probably knows it’s the most likely outcome come the end of this season.
Brendan Rodgers as always has been linked with a few jobs down south, and just yesterday he stated how coaching in the EPL was a holiday compared to the intense pressure of the Glasgow goldfish bowl, so a return to England could well appeal to the Irishman after he makes good his commitment to remain at Celtic for the three years he signed up for in June 2022.
It’s clear that Brendan, despite his regular defence of his bosses, is as frustrated as the rest of us with their constant interfering, severe lack of ambition, and increasing obvious signs of incompetence, which can only point towards Brendan packing his bags when his contract expires.
Brendan, speaking yesterday at his media conference had this to say about how he feels about Celtic and the current turmoil caused by the failing inside the Celtic Boardroom.
“Like I said, I think that with my experience, you tend to try to focus on what you actually can do. I think if you go too deep into it, and of course, we want the synergy throughout the whole club. That’s what we all want, we all want what’s best for Celtic.
“Control what you can, which is the football element and look to do that on the pitch and on the training pitch every single day. That’s really where my focus is.
“I try not to get too involved, of course I’m involved. I love Celtic, I love managing Celtic, I want Celtic to be the very best every single season. Of course, there’s a focus there on the general health of the club, but like I said, it’s for me to focus on the performance level of the team and that won’t be clouded at all. I need to make sure that we perform and we make results.”
He was very clear ahead of the flag-day opener against St Mirren when he flagged up his 200% commitment to see out his contract and also his wish to remain at Celtic IF the club could only match his ambition, saying that he would NOT stay of that wasn’t the case as he was not a maintenance manager.
Has there been any signs of that ambition since the eve of the current season kick-off?
That’s why Brendan will not stay at Celtic, in my view at least. Hopefully I’ll be proved wrong come the end of this season.
