CQN steps up their campaign of attack on Brendan Rodgers

Paul67 has published another attack on Brendan Rodgers through his daily ‘thought piece’ on Celtic Quick News.

When the Irishman was in contention for the Celtic job last June Paul67 patronised him by claiming it was simply a favour from a previous employer, an ego boost following his departure ahead of relegation for Leicester City.

The corporate side of Celtic is completely immune from criticism on CQN but anyone that might have fallen foul of Peter Lawwell is greeted with outright hostility.

Assessing last night’s win over Hibs CQN wades in with:

Brendan, any one of us reading this could have done as well in the dugout last night.  You need to put a team on the field that can dominate and win against Premiership sides with 10% of your financial resources and who would be embarrassed by the money you spent.

Against Ross County, Aberdeen and now Hibs, teams on terrible runs of form, we are a soft touch.  Enough with the self-fulfilling excuses for failure, you have the resources to comfortably win these games.  It is your responsibility to get it right, or just own up if you can’t do the job without Chris Davies.

Paul67 and the Balance Sheet Bhoys might know their way through the riddle of amortisation but he wouldn’t last 10 minutes in football management. If he was 10% as smart as he thinks he is he’d be CEO at Celtic, Manchester City or Real Madrid rather than running a blog more than a decade past the last time it was relevant.

Rodgers has a lot of searching questions to answer in relation to Celtic’s dismal performances this season but nothing like the questions that the Lawwell family could do with addressing.

After four transfer windows and 21 signings Mark has yet to deliver an upgrade on a single player at Celtic, out of his seven summer signings only Paulo Bernardo made last night’s Starting XI away to Hibs.

Daddy could be grilled on the appointments of Neil Lennon twice and Ronny Deila, also Tony Mowbray while the classic 2019-20 recruitment of Vkoun Bayo, Oli Burke, Marion Shved, Boli Bolingoli, Ismaila Soro, Patryk Klimala, Diego Laxalt,Vasilis Barkas and Albian Ajeti were all released or written off with virtually no contribution. Or he could be asked to compare John McGinn with Youssuf Mulmbu.

During the ‘decade of domination’ Malmo, Maribor, AEK Athens, Cluj, Ferencvaros and various other European minnows exposed the multiple flaws in the ‘strategy’ of the all powerful CEO. Each of those Champions League qualifying defeats cost Celtic a minimum of £20m in European revenue.

Recent contributions from CQN are on a par with the greatest examples of succulent lamb from legacy media as they drooled unquestioningly over the brilliance of Sir Dave.

Resolution 12 and the Five Way Agreement of 2012 are two other topics that Paul67 won’t touch with a bargepole.
