I fear Rodgers may be damaged goods. He got given his arse on a plate last night by Marco Rose's Salzburg. Reading some of the comments post match, it all sounded very familiar:

Quote
"I don't know what Brendan's tactics were, if he had any. Poor defending, lazy passing, no real movement off the ball.

 Salzburg were excellent but they are not a big team from a big country."

More here.

My only consolation with that is Marco Rose is a brilliant coach but it does raise lots of question marks against Rodgers!

I think Rodgers' heart hasn't been in it since we signed McGinn. He sounded like he was very pissed off when that happened.

He's be great for us.

Go get him.

Rodgers has peaked but could be after a new challenge I would discount him.

However this man oversaw Celtic worse ever result in history he contrived to lose to semi-professional champions of Gibraltar Lincoln red imps.

One problem worrying a good ambitious Coach would be the possible FFP penalty if we are not promoted this season. The new man could have a right basket case to deal with if we do get punished with point deduction.

Embarrassing, but they won the second leg so it didn't really matter.

A bit like us having a go at Atkinson for losing to Tranmere. It doesn't matter if you still go through.

With Yorke he has to start somewhere. And seems well connected within the game
said he spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson and former Villa boss Tim Sherwood for advice.

If other candidates are being touted with little experience such then Yorke deserves an interview and he's probably angling for one. And he talks positively and seems encouraging that he wants to play attacking football I wouldn't rule him out but I think the owners may have a bigger name lined up

Yorke said this 

"It's a job I'm 100% interested in. I've made it clear I'd like to speak to the club"

"I've sent in my CV and I'm trying to make contact with the CEO, so I'm doing everything from my side to try and make sure I'm given that opportunity to speak to the football club.

"I've seen managers come and go over the past five years, I feel the club need something new going forward."

I feel I am the person who played for the club, understands the club and understands what the fans are expecting, but most importantly I feel I can bring a winning mentality back," he added.

"I think there is a lack of belief throughout the football club. Anyone who knows me as a person knows I'm very positive, I like to see attacking football, I want to see people playing with a smile on their face."

Footy are you asking for directions to the naughty step?!

Yes he has to start somewhere. Youths, non league football, wayyyyy down the ladder.
He’s the clown suggestion and we always wait for him to chuck his hat in, it’s a sort of black comedy ritual now. Of course we want more diversity ethnically etc, he’s just allergic to grafting his way up, and a kazillion miles from the sort of personality you imagine as a manger to boot!

Dwight Yorke can fuck right off. Burned that bridge when he went to United as far as I'm concerned.

Dwight Yorke, the man so desperate to be a manager that he never seems interested in starting further down the leagues, instead thinks he should be gifted a job at a big club. Twat.

Why the fuck would Yorke send in his CV? He hasn't got a CV. He walked away from football 10 years ago.  that's the problem!

Yorke is as likely to win manger of the year, as father of the year.
