Shameless Board apologist claims Rodgers is to blame for Celtic unrest | OneFootball

A shameless report has emerged from so-called Celtic insiders claiming that the unrest at the club is down to Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers. The Irishman is in the final year of his contract and this report claims that he could leave sooner than the end of the season.

According to Sun Sport’s exclusive with a ‘Celtic Insider’, Rodgers is said to be engineering his exit from the club.

“Senior figures inside the club believe Rodgers is engineering his exit.

“What he’s said in public has torn the club apart. On and off the record discussions are creating division throughout the club.

“He’s the only manager in the club’s history who has repeatedly questioned things.

“It’s been the same board, same management and same strategy.

“The club have spent tens of millions.

Celtic’s SHAMBOLIC summer transfer business rated after Dolberg SNUBS Hoops “When Brendan came back, he agreed to the club’s strategy.

“There are now people inside the club who are deeply unhappy with his words.

“To make matters worse, these issues appear to be seeping into the performance of the team. It’s like Groundhog Day again.”

The reality is that Rodgers has been discussing the club’s need to strengthen since January in order to achieve the club’s ambitions. The manager has stated in countless occasions that he wanted quality into the club but this has not been realised this summer with Kieran Tierney the only standout addition.

Celtic had a net profit of £13.5m and failed to bring a number of suspected targets into the club, including Kasper Dolberg. Rodgers required to call upon his connection with Kelechi Iheanacho in order to bring a replacement in for Adam Idah, which still left Celtic a striker short.

In previous years Ange Postecoglou urged the club to be proactive in the market and ensure that the club continued cycles of success. The Australian manager’s comments have been echoed by Rodgers at various junctures since returning to the club but he has always been clear that he loves working at the club, even if his ambition has not been matched.

The comments about cycles rings true after Daizen’s comments that he wanted to leave in the summer but wasn’t allowed to. Celtic should do their business, get a replacement in the door prior to a move being sanctioned. The right back succession planning from Josip Juranovic to Alistair Johnston highlights that it can be done but Celtic have fallen away from this form of planning.
