So the talk down here in welsh Wales is Rodgers has signed on the dotted line at Swansea. As far as i'm led to believe the deal was in place before Ronny handed his notice in and the money he is ment to be on is roughly 5 million a year, we cannot compete with that. Swansea a team that not long ago played in the 3rd devision in England.

Looking past the fact the guy comes across like a bit of a bell, I quite rate Rodgers and would have been relatively happy to see him given the chance. There are people more educated about him on here than me though, Ed001 in particular, that have brought to light some weaknesses and criticised him though so I did take that on board. I guess the wage packet and percieved credibility of working in the BPL scuppers us again as you say, if is is true.

I think Rodgers and Moyes are holding out for jobs in England with big pay cheques attached, nothing to do with football, forget them both.
I posted a few days ago I would like Di Matteo, with Clark as coach. Someone else I would be happy with is Alex Neil and up and coming manager.

I'd be happy with that too Timalloy that will definitely improve us. I read somewhere we're offering Keane £15m transfer kitty if he is to sign?

I know what ED heard but I really don't think there was any chance of Rodgers coming to us, and the same goes with moyes! Would have been happy for Rodgers to come, think he would have gave us a massive lift! Think our next manager will come from the usual list that we see Lennon Mckay Clarke and the rest! Just wondering now the titles officially wrapped up how soon it will take to get announced! Any thoughts ED?
{Ed007's Note - I'm hoping something will be announced before the weekend and the new man will be introduced to the crowd at the Motherwell match.}

I wouldn't imagine that would happen that would indicate a quick cheep appointment and using the feel good factor to mask such an appointment but you never know in football.
{Ed007's Note - It's not a quick appointment if the guy is not currently in a job and considering the CL qualifiers start on 12/13 July, that's only 7 weeks away come this weekend, we need to get the new man in as soon as possible after RD leaves which is this weekend.
If the board aren't even close to making a decision by now then they're letting the fans down again.
Season ticket renewal deadline is the 27th of this month and the board need to move pretty quickly if they hope to encourage people to renew.}

Just rumours from tw@tter I saw yesterday from a couple of people. They said a new man to be announced on Friday. Hopefully is true tho I won't hold my breath.

That would be great but can't see it apparently the word in Walsh is that Rogers is due to sign in at Old club Swansea done deal they say.
09 May 2016 19:41:46
Without nailing your colours to the mast Ed, do you have any idea or thoughts who it may be
Hail Hail.
{Ed007's Note - I'm still thinking it'll Brendan Rodgers.}

He's a curious one that Rodgers. His Swansea team played great and attractive football, he had a seriously good period with Mourinho at Chelsea and his early time at Liverpool was great. Then it all went a wee bit Pete Tong for him at Anfield and people quickly forgot about the good stuff he had achieved and could only remember the problems with Liverpool.
Jeez, I just wish they'd appoint someone asap and not leave it to the last minute and then blame that for an early Euro exit :- (
Hail Hail.

I think that it could be Moyes his body language and smiling away when asked about the Celtic job on tv seems to me that either he has been asked about the job and is just waiting for it to be either sealed or for it to be announced by the club so I think Moyes.
