Is Rodgers the reason we're so negative with names linked?

Celtic's getting a 'marquee' manager has no doubt worked.

Let's not kid ourselves, he was a bit of luck away from winning the EPL. It was a great appointment for them. He inherited a mess and has pretty much turned around a shambolic Deila squad.

So yes, I think the strategy of going for a top marquee manager is the right approach. Pardew, McClaren and Moyes aren't at that level.

Why aren't we linked with Eddie Howe? 2 years ago the buzz around him was amazing. Best young manager in English football. He's established Bournemouth in the EPL.

Would he come?

I checked and it appears he's only on around 750k a year. We should test his resolve, offer a proper wage - 2m a year for example. (We can pay money like this on random Mexicans so the money is there). Add a bonus for league wins and European success and it should be tempting financially.

He may need supported for player wages/fees and that's a different point. It's surely worth giving it a go however?

He's been overlooked for roles like Everton etc - he's arguably done all he can do at Bournemouth. He's shown he's a massive success on a limited budget and plays good football. He's possibly the 'marquee' we need to take us up to the next level.

David Moyes isn't at Rodgers' level, but Eddie Lowe is?

No - wait and see how he reacts when under pressure.

Don't believe he is the manager people think he is. Especially the delusional ones.

It was hard to see this with the way it ended up at Liverpool.

Probably.

Ironically, he had won less trophies as a manager than Derek McInnes when they appointed him.

Who knows, maybe the mentally challenged forums were full of folk absolutely raging about it because he only managed 2nd with Liverpool.
