The More Ignorant English Commentators Slag Celtic’s Manager The Happier We Will Be.

Two of the most pig-ignorant and discredited men in the world of football commentary are slagging our manager tonight, and critiquing him as a possible candidate for Spurs. One of them is a former Ibrox toe-rag with questionable morals.

Gray and Keys have struggled for relevance since being booted off Sky for misogyny way back when; it’s nice that they have twigged that something anti-Celtic can get you easy headlines here in Scotland.

“I do not know why Brendan Rodgers is not being considered for (the Spurs) job,” one idiot (Gray) said to the other idiot (Keys). “What has Postecoglou got and done that Brendan Rodgers hasn’t bettered? Bettered.”

Keys then said: “Nothing. Nothing like what Brendan Rodgers has done.” His clownish mate then went on to say, “Rodgers has got so much more experience about this league and managing big clubs and managing big players, as he did at Liverpool. I don’t get that one. There must be something stopping these big clubs even talking to Brendan Rodgers.”

Both are banging the drum for the manager Leicester sacked in a failed attempt to stop their club from getting relegated. Both are questioning Ange’s record in comparison to the Irishman.

The question being asked is what Ange has done that Rodgers hasn’t.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I don’t remember Rodgers winning titles on three continents, or managing a national team to a trophy.

Ange’s record at Celtic is easily comparable with that of Rodgers; with a little more focus we could have taken his immortal points record from him. Rodgers has won an FA Cup outside of Celtic Park; that’s his record.

That’s what they are bragging about, and if they want to do that they are fully entitled to … but to disparage Ange reveals their arrogance and utter stupidity for exactly that.

This is typical of the thinking of many people in and around the English game, and as I pointed out recently, a lot of Spurs fans feel exactly the same way about the record of our boss. And you know what? I was guilty of it myself.

You live and you learn … or you don’t.

To me, this is good news. The more this view prevails south of the border the less we have to worry about up here.

The more debate and discussion there is where Ange’s record prior to arriving at Celtic is disparaged the less chance of some chairman down there deciding he’s going to buck the “accepted wisdom” and hire the guy.
