Hercules said forget him the other day fwiw

Strange that it could go from him being the most impressive candidate to nothing. We always knew he had a buyout clause as well so not sure that’s the reason or we wouldn’t have interviewed in the first place.

Looks like Enrique could be going to Napoli so if Postecoglu does stay at Celtic, we will be down to a list of:

Nagelsmann
De Zerbi
Gallardo
Potter
Amorim
Frank
Silva
Rodgers
Glasner
Galtier

Considering we all know Nagelsmann and De Zerbi are incredibly unlikely, we've had no solid links to Gallardo and we've heard that it's very unlikely to be Amorim, that will leave us with a choice of:

Potter
Frank
Silva
Rodgers
Glasner
Galtier

We are screwed and I think I'd rather just give it to Mason than any of those choices to be honest.

The Rodgers hatred is a bit over the top. He’s obviously a prat but he delivered Liverpool’s best league season in a long while, and won Leicester the FA Cup (and two pretty decent league seasons from memory). I don’t want him, but he’s not as bad as people are suggesting.
You’re going to ignore that he’s the reason they have been relegated?

The Ange staying rumours are because of two gobshite pundits/ex-players saying he shouldn't go to Spurs, one being Charlie Nicholas so that should tell you all you need to know.

Great summary and pretty much agree if it comes down to that realistic final list then I’d rather just give it to Mason. Only ones I’d like would be T.Frank and at a push M.Silva or Potter but none of them fill me with great excitement like some of the names in the original / first list did (Slot, Naglesmann, Big Ange, De Zerbi etc)

We are screwed.

Here's the question; If it comes down to these two possibilities because of course they're others but if it came down to; The board through their own process bungles the appointment and as they're entering scorched earth levels of pressure.

Would we as fans prefer that through their ineptitude that they through sheer luck land on say Gallardo who in this scenario drags the club kicking and screaming out of the hole we've put us in. Or would we as fans prefer that the process yields the result it deserves to and we make a poor appointment which turns the pressure up to where massive changes draw ever closer. My estimation would be if we mess it up again that it would be lord of the flies in the boardroom at that point rather than they all got the boot.

I just find it curious that people seem to be on board with Ange, but ridicule the idea of Rodgers. The former seems like a better bloke, but the latter has way more of note on his CV (and is younger).

Does he? Even on a level-playing field, Celtic fans rank/rate Ange a lot higher than Rodgers.

Perhaps he'd be OK with a decent DoF, but from what I've seen (nothing official, as this stuff never is), he wanted control of transfers, and he's bad at it. Failed to integrate new signings, failed to pick up morale. Got sacked, Leicester went down.

His capitulations with Liverpool and Leicester worry me, too. But he does play good football – at first. Perhaps we sack him after a season or two...

The board are going nowhere regardless so we need them to get lucky with an appointment like they did with Poch.

No way Galtier with the stuff hanging over him


Out of that lot Potter would be my first choice by a mile.

If we get Rodgers, he will get us relegated like he did Leicester. I'm convinced of that having read and researched what happened at Leicester.

What's the situation with Rodgers? I haven't seen much on what happened at Leicester beyond obviously he struggled this season and their financial issues etc. Would be interested in case we end up speaking with him!

Rodgers just looks very irritating (and has a very punchable face). He's not the man to lift the spirits of fans and players.

If Ange and Nagelsmann are not going to take the job then I think that is the point in which Mason should be given the job. However Levy should not get away with it and my patience with him will be on par with that of those who want him to fuck off. Ive given him the benefit of doubt and been patient but think that would be the straw

Behind the scenes he wanted more and more control of recruitment, like he did at Liverpool and he completely sucks at it. Several highly rated staff ended up leaving and their squadbuilding went to shit the longer he was there.

Add to that he lost the plot tactically and lost the players. He doesn't have the personality needed to unite us either.

Honestly he'd be a disaster just from the fact he wants control of recruitment and is awful at it, let alone his other baggage.

It's the reason clubs he is with collapse.

If we hire Mason, we would literally be watching him learn on the job for the next 18 months. He's already made some very good decisions but some very rookie mistakes (which he does look like he's learning quickly from) but just too big of a job this time around
I think that is ok for me as long as we start turning the roster over and building with youth. For me, the next year is about setting us up for future success.

If we keep putting aging band-aids on the cuts, we will continue in dross mediocrity.
