BACK THE MANAGER WITH QUALITY PLEASE

[@piping9153]

Leopards do not change their spots

[@hypogogix9125]

He would be hard pushed to fuck this up. Rangers are so broke players are asking to leave, and they need to play in Hampden because their stadium is falling apart lmao hahahaha ah I can't help but laugh at that, n no one else in this league has the money to play against Celtic. Scottish FA mismanaged this league into a dire mess... If he won last season this one was in the bag EASILY lol

[@steviechalmers1218]

IN Brendan Rodgers WE TRUST BACK OUR FABULOUS MANAGER WITH QUALITY 💚🍀🙏👏👏👏👏👍

[@charlieconnelly5514]

I could listen all day to his views,top class manager🍀

[@antsmcvey1]

Compare with the bald fraud across the city, just constantly spewing out random stats. Even his players must tune out when he speaks. We have an elite level manager 👏🏻

I can't FFS

[@sweatymrkim4578]

When our board can boast about their wealth and keep Brendan waiting to strengthen his squad at this stage of the window, is nothing short of negligence. Give the manager the tools he needs to compete in the Champions League.🍀.

NEVER HAPPENING

[@WolfeTone66]

It’s obvious that Brendan is very happy with the team, but frustrated that signings haven’t been brought in by now. He’s shown the patience of a saint with this board & I hope we see at least 3 players coming in very soon now. It’s looking like Matt is definitely leaving but on the bright side it appears that Idah will be a Celtic player in the coming week, hopefully with another one or two.🍀

[@kevingolden5675]

He's very clever with his words. Always picks the correct phrase to say. If he's not worried I'm not worried 💚

[@mic532]

Another quality press conference by Brendan,says all he can regarding new players coming to our great club, but feel the board are just not giving this man what he wants to bring us to European standards for champions league,,cmon board back this man to the hilt,,,hail hail

So grateful for the sacrifices that Callum and all the players make so that theyre at their best for us every week. He loves Celtic tooooo 🍀💚👏

[@kdog9198]

[@zest69uk]

I have complete confidence in our coach☘

[@AndyCraig-y4j]

Amazing to think that this is the season to win our 55 th league title considering how far behind that figure we were just 14 years ago. I have a feeling that some of those players such as Kuhn, Holm, Yang, Iwata, Palma will be so much better having had some consistent time with the manager and coaches. Be great to see quality brought in (left back, centre back, midfielder and striker) before the window shuts. This is the season, this is the time, they are a shambles, and we are just fine 😃. Come on you Bhoys in green!

[@gaywest4298]

Brendan is showing great character here.

[@Weegie_Huddle_Cuddle]

Back the manager and get him players that have a chance of doing something in the champions League 🍀

[@weetedwubywamb]

Back the manager. End of. We have the funds so please back him. If the window closes with us selling O’Riley and we don’t bring in the quality the manager is asking for then I will 100% support him if he decides to leave again. This club’s lack of ambition is criminal.

[@charlessaylor3572]

3 weeks left in the transfer window and we still have a weaker team than last year. “Significantly higher earnings” reported to the stock exchange and no new striker, left back, center back, winger, or midfielder.

[@philsoro491]

I heard Brendan saying MOR wasn't 4 sale. I'm really delighted to hear that. If he is 2 be sold, 40 million MINIMUM. Anything less, immediately reject

[@jackjones1249]

Every player is for sale, and Brendan has no say in it, so stop being gullible.

[@madferrit]

If we end this window with only bringing in Idah on top of the other players then Michael Nicholson and those involved in recruitment needs to go. We are cash rich sitting on money that only other teams can dream of. Its business mismanagement of the highest order

[@Murph___]

Hoping for Adam Idah and 1 or 2 others to be done by the end of the window ? Absolutely not good enough. Need Idah, a LCB, a left back and a proper replacement for O'Riley at least. Left back and Idah should be done already. Name checked Holm and Lawal as sub par on couple of times now, why not move both on so and go for a Lennon Miller or a promising player he does rate ? Carrying too many passengers in the squad and not enough quality that the manager wants. Recruitment has been shambolic so far and this conference hasn't done much to show the fans that better is to come

Rather than paying Lawwell 3 million a year buy a left back

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

It's time to open the tin.... I was a doubter bringing BR back, but clearly he has what it takes to take us to the next level, but he needs backing, the board need to open the tin. They have no problem taking our money for tickets and merch, give us something back give us the quality BR craves.

[@HighiQGaming101]

Celtic should honestly knock Brighton’s deal back on Oriley(that would be a smart thing) his value will only go up? and if he stays it’s a bonus for us , wouldn’t teams offer more next window? They guys a wizard on the ball.. look how many teams are after him/watching him

[@GraemeTyrrell.]

We also don’t have e enough time to sign another midfielder. Club too slow

[@HighiQGaming101]

Very true

[@1888.cfc.]

Absolutely. Another season with Celtic and winning domestic treble and doing well in CL his value wid double but Celtic are too greedy to wait

[@michaelmcgill-uu5ox]

My own opinion is callum received unjust criticism in the euros nearly all players nvr turned up at all and just wonder if that was big decision in his thinking

[@GraemeTyrrell.]

I my opinion we can’t let O’Riley go now as there is not enough time to sign another midfielder . It took 11 weeks to sign Bernardo

[@Matthew-rm6if]

No questions about injuries? Used to always be the first question asked at these pressers. Was asked quite late into last weeks presser, but none this week?

[@KaiStewart-n7b]

"Recruitment is vital" - We all agree, so why is it only vital in theory and not done more efficiently? Why does it always take to the end of the window with Celtic, that is total incompetence, only one season we were competent and deceive was in Ange's first season, even before the day of the opening window he was agreeing terms with players.

[@sgm7078]

Our transfer strategy is atrocious. Nothing like the celtic board to destroy any hope we have of properly investing in the team. Their lack of ambition doesn't match the ambitions of the fans, players and manager it's time for a change.

[@user-zg7lx8pu8l]

Just don't get that comment...not concerned about playing Kyogo every game until the national break - one striker, injury at anytime, changing it up mid game - calm as you like Brendan, just repeating himself now... 🤫who is running the recruitment phase and still have nothing solid on at least Idah 😱

[@AndyBoy67]

Someone should have asked him if he want's a stronger squad why he is letting Matt O'reilly go with 3 years left on his deal could we not have upped Matt's wages to get him to stay until at least the end of year. Beginning to think he as complicate as the rest of that shower on the board, plus Liewell and Desmond .Look's like he is happy to take the 3 Million a year and do as he is told by that shower of charleton's.

[@Dvlx1]

Its absolutely not his decision whether O'Riley stays or goes. If you think he is happy to sell his best players and not get quality in then I genuinely wonder how you've reached adulthood with those levels of deduction.

[@joegillespie1888]

Idah comes in with a lot of pressure now, as does rodgers, desperate to get him in and spending 8mil he must see something special in him, I just hope he doesn't disappoint! We need a LB desperately and a few more to strengthen and acctualy look to do somthing in Europe! But with our board that won't happen! 🍀 🍀🍀
