I personally don't think Rodgers will re renew his contract. Why would he want to after this transfer window. All be it has he got a case to make after 3 of his big money signings aren't even getting a start and 1 if them left for less money than we bought him
So who would you like to see as manager next season?
Do Celtic go for a cheap option like the St Mirren manager who's done a good job on a low budget, or do we push the boat out and get an elite manager.
I think a lot may depend on how this league seasons pans out.

Posted same question last wk and a thot Klunsen (Bodo) and watch mb Bellamy see how he progresses, Mckenna high on list as well but struggling a bit this yr, if BR goes to Forrest then a wouldn’t b to unhappy with Santos.

If we're going young manager cheap option . how about David gray? But there must be double figure numbers of this ilk that could be offered job. or we could go down the road of an old been there done it manager . but I would rather someone in acedancy like Knudsen. no matter who we go for if manager leaves will the policies from board if still there change . that I think will dictate who comes in.
{Ed007's Note - Kjetil Knutsen turns 57 this year, he's not getting any younger which makes it even stranger he's never taken up any the offers he's had. I'm sure I read that his contract is up at the end of their season.}

after all the animosity and finger pointing I would prefer a change sooner rather than later. However, I appreciate it's not an ideal time to find an available manager without complicated compensation payments and sweeteners, that I doubt our Board would entertain.
This leaves us with a manager with egg on his face. employed by a Board who have no respect for him or the support.
It's a real mess; not helped by the football we were enduring prior to the break, with lackluster performances and the added sideshows involving Idah, Yang and Maeda.

ED007 I am sure I heard somewhere Knutsen gets a percentage of all transfers, he is either content with money he gets or clubs coming in for him have not offered a package he will accept.
{Ed007's Note - I've read that too but when you look at their sales unless he is on a serious % of it most higher level European clubs could easily cover it and pay. If it's 10% he's had about €2m per season the last 2 years and anything between €600k - €1m on the previous seasons.
I've also read that he feels no one person is responsible for Bodo/Glimt's success and the set up is as responsible as his role is.}

Think it was weejoe/ bb that mentioned he was on a % of the transfers Edd which woulld rule us out?.

Thought Knudsen was nearer our managers age . still youngish for manager . he'd be my pick
. it's incredible what he and bodo glimt have done in recent years.

Someone who plays fast attacking football is a must!

If we ever get a a DOF what about Broony as manager? With an experienced DOF it could work. He would have the fire and determination to get the team going the right way.

It's got to be bring back ANGE.

No more jobs for the Bhoys we need a DOF and a manager who wants us to play the way we want to forget brown Maloney Kennedy or any of them in reality they are all part of the problem the board unwilling to spend on a manager out with Celtic saying we have developed the coach ourselves cheap options none should even have a job at Celtic at all along with mcmanus Hayes and anyone else who the board think is good enough because they are not good enough if they were the b team would have won that ?league by a mile and we would be producing players we need a total rebuild from top to bottom.

Ed are you Keirans agent ?
I just do not trust our board to get a world class Manager to go with our so called world class club (tongue in cheek there) .
Knudson would be good but in reality if you were a Manager would you look at what is going on here and how our board behave and think, yep that's the club for me.
Most decent Managers work at clubs where they have protection from the Board in the shape of a DOF.
We are never going down that road, DD, MN, PL and the rest of the cronies, need total control over everything.
