Probably a good move for all parties. Those thinking Rodgers would be able to get a bigger job after Celtic were clearly deluding themselves.

This is interesting. Rodgers has said privately he will stay to the end of the season, Celtic would want 5 million in compensation. It appears Leicester are pushing for it to happen now. This is from Ewan Murray in the Guardian.

Should get a caretaker till end of season. There need 3 wins and a couple of draws to be safe this season

Rodgers leaving now when he has a chance to do treble treble doesn't make sense

ChaChaMooMoo · « **Reply #43 on:** February 26, 2019, 08:52:55 am »

Celtic have given manager Brendan Rodgers permission to speak to Leicester about their vacant managerial position and BBC Scotland understands he’s expected to leave.

Probably as big as a job he could of got in England

If Leicester insisted he come straight away he’d be crazy to turn it down

Actually looking forward to seeing how he performs

Can’t help thinking they should see the season out and then go all in for Rafa - but I am quite excited to see Bren again, it has the potential to be spectacular.

They’ve still got to play City too. Go on Brendan

Rodgers' Leicester play city the same day (currently) we play Rafa Newcastle.

One to keep an eye on for sure.

Would be quite poetic to win the league on this day, with our best manager in recent times and the manager who got us closest to the title in recent times, being a part of it....

I know it was only 1 season in the Prem but the way Rodgers had Swansea playing was so impressive. Be interesting to see how he will set Leicester up.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #56 on:** February 26, 2019, 10:23:31 am »

Good luck to him. That’s a decent appointment for Leicester too, the other names at the top of the betting odds were uninspiring (not including Rafa as didn’t see him in there).

About as good a job as he could have hoped for. They do seem to be phasing out some of the old title winners and have a pretty good crop of youngsters there to work with. And we’ve played them twice so they can’t directly impact us this season. Have they played Spurs twice?

Imagine the conspiracy theories City fans will construct if we’re still in with a shout by then? Two ex Liverpool managers in charge of the opposition teams.

Everton fans will be writing petitions and everything.

Ray K · « **Reply #58 on:** February 26, 2019, 10:44:04 am »

Can't blame him for getting out of Celtic. It's probably the best PL job that's likely to come up soon (Chelsea will always be a basket case).

Leicester now have a reputation of having an itchy trigger finger when it comes to managers though. They sacked Ranieri less than a year after the most improbably title win ever. (And they were never going down that year).

Except the one managing against us will be more than capable of setting his side up to frustrate us, especially if we're not firing up front, the other may well still be scrambling around hoping to stumble on the magic formula that works for a few months

Really? I'd expect nothing other than a good 4 or 5 goal tonking by City.

Perfect job for him though, so no wonder he's interested, it's all about timing for managers, and he can't afford to hold out till the end of the season. Likely they said to him it has to be now.

Rodgers would set his team up perfectly for City. Attempting to go toe-to-toe with them on the attacking front (to show the Brodge produces football equally as good as Guardiola) and walking away with a 6-0 spanking.

Could be a situation where 3 of the last four Liverpool managers take defeat our main title rivals.

Ravishing Rick Dude · « **Reply #71 on:** February 26, 2019, 12:51:30 pm »

Since all the fucking league is against us and want to stop us at any cost to win the league, it's good to have some friends like Benitez and Rodgers, who won't spread their cheeks when they play our rivals.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #72 on:** February 26, 2019, 12:55:30 pm »

Leicester with Puel where actually ok against some of the big clubs, so not sure where this sudden idea that having an ex Liverpool manager somehow means they'll try more vs the Plastic Mancs. I'd expect nothing more than City to stroll through a Rodgers defense with some ease. The game might be more pleasing on the eye than with Puel in charge though. That's about it.

Simplexity · « **Reply #73 on:** February 26, 2019, 01:04:45 pm »

Yeah I´d rather have Puel in charge than Rodgers against City. He barely won any big games with us with the exception of that mental season.

Spurs is the only one of the 'big 6' he had a really good record against. Otherwise, it's pretty poor.

Excited to see Rodgers back in the PL. There's a good amount of young talent there at Leicester and the board/owner has backed managers in the past in the transfer market. Getting the right players in with Rodgers is a whole different story but the base is there for this to be a good job for him.
