no, i just remember thinking to myself at the time that Livi & Falkirk had given Celtic more of a game than these chumps
Itās hard to see otherwise. Personally Iād have preferred to bring Brendan back if thatās what weāre after, a placeholder, and it seems obvious it is.
Iād say weāll finish about 7th next season.
Ruben Amorim is clearly the stand out alternative to Alonso and if West Ham get him next season I expect them to do very well, possibly ahead of us.

It doesnt matter who they choose. As long as Banquo is rattling around that place, they are fucked.

After Ange decamping to the EPL last summer, Iām mightily relieved Liverpool arenāt going back in for Brendan. Steven Gerrard denied Brendan a title win with a squad of absolute diddies, & that managerial feat is really downplayed for whatever reason. Brendanās Celtic outplayed Slotās Feyenoord in Rotterdam up to the first sending off & harsh penalty. The second sending off ended the game. Celtic were better than them again at home & won that game, but it was a dead rubber in fairness. I canāt remember why but Slot still picked his strongest team, maybe it was for seeding in dropping down to Europa League or something. Slot seemed like a very affable sort over those two games & shared some warm words & embraces with Brendan.
Wasnt lennon the manager?
I have even more respect for Alonso for swerving it this time around. There must have been hige pressure on him to take it. He chose wisely. This Feyenord chap is a bit like Endo. No one expects anything. Free hit for him also. He might do ok but I doubt it with some of the dross about. The good ones are too old now.

I meant Gerrard denied Brendan his rightful EPL title at Liverpool when he slipped & cost them the league. Getting that side to within a whisker of a title was some achievement by Rodgers.

The signs are encouraging here for the Dippers as regards recruiting baldy managers from the Dutch league. Martin Jol did a terrific job at Spurs.
Tbh I actually canāt get over how good this guy is. I watched him destroy the Go Ahead Eagles last night.

Oh god 
Iām not able for that on a Friday.
Bigger than anything klopp achieved
If Klopp had any bit about him, he would be winning his 3rd league in a row right now, heās a spoofer
I tend to agree. Covid titles obviously donāt count & the CL final was against Spurs. A few other cups here & there but, pound for pound, Rodgers switching to 3-box-3 & all but winning the title only for Gerrard was a vastly more impressive feat.

GOOSEBUMPS!
Surely the fact Slotter passed the much vaunted Daniel Levy charisma test, before snubbing Spurs, augurs well?

Iāve watched three YouTube compilations from the Dutch Farmerās League and Iām now convinced that the laptop nerds have got the right man. Iāve done further research by listening to ten minutes of a podcast where one of those Athletic-type stats nerds talked about how Slot loves wingers and inverted fullbacks and this tells me that Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander Arnold will be big players for him. With Danns, Clark and Bajectic all going to play 30-40 games next season, he probably doesnāt even need to buy any new players. @FOTD.
