Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he has told the Celtic board not to sell a player.
The Irishman has been given total authority over transfer matters and has taken a football managers perspective into financial areas.
During the January transfer window Celtic rejected two offers from Chelsea for Craig Gordon with speculation that a bid had also came in for Moussa Dembele.
At Liverpool Rodgers found himself as part of a transfer committee which resulted in the strained relationship with Mario Balotelli.
Very few managers in England have total control of their clubs transfer activities but after deciding to join Celtic Rodgers insisted that he would have complete responsibility.
“Unless the player coming in is the one that the football manager wants it’s going to be very very difficult,” Rodgers told Chris Sutton on BT Sport.
“The beauty here is that it is very simple, simplicity works best. Peter does a good job overseeing commercially the football side, he then lets me get on with this side.”
Sutton asked if Celtic were a selling club with Rodgers saying: “There comes a natural parting of the ways at Celtic, there’s a moral issue around it.
“If you are on ten or twelve grand a week and someone comes in and offers eighty thousand a week the reality is that Celtic can’t afford that.
“We’ve already had that in terms of offers for players this year and I’ve sat in the boardroom and said ‘We don’t need to do it’. So we didn’t do it, that was the way that it was. There’s no drama.”
Rodgers immediate transfer concern is to bring in new faces for Celtic’s Champions League qualifiers.
The hoops will have to work their way through to three qualifying rounds with the first ties being played on July 11 and 12.
Celtic will be seeded in each qualifying round with a jackpot of around £25m up for grabs for reaching the group stage.
