I think Brendan is proof that managers don't develop in the same way that players do. We invested a lot of time into him hoping he'd become an elite coach with us. You either have it or you don't.

My guess is Howe gets the boot from Newcastle and goes to Everton, with Rodgers to Newcastle.

Potter's really dropped off the radar hasn't he.

I somewhat agree. That said Rafa had rough times early on in his career, but passion, obsession and endless curiosity for the game usually wins out and ensures you get over the initial hurdles.

If you don’t have those qualities as a young manager, you’ll never reach elite level.

I think a problem with Brendan is that he thought himself as elite too early. He fell for what a number of players do and believed he made it when the big club came in for him. During the early 2010's we had SO MANY players like that, who acted as if they made it by coming to us and they didn't have to improve, didn't have to work to be worthy of the club. Stewart Downing is the biggest culprit I can think of but there were a lot like him, and Rodgers was a little like that it felt - he was the man at this was his time to show it off.

He brought us a spectacular season, but even in that season you could see the cracks, see the limitations. You also got the impression that Rodgers was very much focused on how he come out of it, both in the good and the bad.

It's a stark contrast to Klopp who everyone of course adores, and is of course a much much much better coach, but one of the best things he did early on was shift the focus from himself to the amazing players, almost without anyone noticing. Rodgers always felt like he needed his light.

To be fair to him Rodgers did humble himself after leaving, looked to rebuild in a proper way, but you really did feel like Celtic and Leicester were always stepping stones to him, and the issues he had with us still prevailed.

And now at Celtic again, it feels like the position is chaffing, that he feels too big for the role (which he may in fact be)

I can absolutely see him at Newcastle, seems the type of job he would take, if they don't get Tuchel that is.

Not going to last there is he? Where next? European second-tier league if he's lucky. Or Saudi.

He has unfinished business at LFC. Would be poetic if it happened. Hopefully by the time it happens (next season?) he can come in as a PL winner for that season.

Potter to Celtic makes sense.

He would be a big leap forward from Howe, in my opinion.

He would be a great appointment for ireland but way out of reach

I'd rather he took the NI gig and Damien Duff got a shot at the ROI team.

I honestly think he's holding out for something like the Man Utd job. And I get a sense of entitlement that he's good enough for that without really doing the heavy lifting in a smaller team. Sure, he's come up through the ranks but it would be good to see a British manager stick at a smaller club for a significant period of time rather than just be 'flavour of the month' based on a season or two.

The problem with British managers is a sense of entitlement. Doesn't matter whether its the more progressive, modern coach like Potter or the crocked dinosaurs like Allardyce, they ultimately don't have the humility, and dare I say it, outright passion and obsession for the job that the overseas coaches have.

that’d be fantastic, just for the collective Geordie headloss (ha!)

Saudi Arabia will want someone far more high profile and who’s won something significant. It’s all about the sportswashing, Rodgers isn’t going to do much for that both in CV and in personality.
