Perhaps or perhaps people just expect someone to be as straight up as BR purported to be.
Then we all need to get real. Have we all never met people who say one thing and do another? The problem we have is putting people on pedestals that they can’t balance on. If you think someone is the answer, then you really need to ask more questions. I never overlooked Rogers failings. He wasn’t this messianic figure, he couldn’t fix a defence. He bought mostly shit. He spat the dummy over Shved. He was right to be fucked off over McGinn. He reduced confidence in spending money because he doubled the wage bill, yet it was the same players who had to carry the burden.
After the first year we were great but we knew our defence would be exposed, yet his response was buying players who couldn’t even get into that poor defence. We were scudded, losing the most goals in the whole CL.
Yet, when I did write stuff like that, all true, the response from some was as if I had taken a shit on their dinner. They believed in him and saw any criticism as heresy. Well look at the same people now hating him.
Nobody ever should get a bye at Celtic. Not a single cunt. They get support, they get praise, but equally when they fuck up, they Fuck off.
The shirt doesn’t shrink. If we remember that always then no one gets a free ride protected by some mythical status some bestow on them.
Anyway, he’s off and we should be more the wiser for putting too many eggs in any basket.
I was actually relieved when he went. I wanted someone who could sort our defence. Who didn’t fill the stadium with players who weren’t good enough and whose ego thought that was enough to prevent us being humiliated in Europe.
Thanks for the trophy’s but we moved on to better things. We are already playing better. Get a few more players in and we might be able to win a CL game at home. HH
