Leicester City > Glasgow Celtic? Really? (Brendan Rodgers content)

[KneesUp]

I'm slightly surprised at the news today that everyone's favourite motivator Brendan Rodgers has left Celtic - who are still in the running to win three trophies, including the league - to go and manage midlands-based also-rans Leicester City.

I mean, I can see how he might have left at the end of the season because I imagine that as a result of the TV money, Leicester (1 league title) are able to pay him more than Celtic (48 league titles) but for him to just up-sticks and leave just near the business end where the trophies are handed out is, to me, unbelievable.

Still, at least he's still got his weird-quote generator fired up: he's already said he will "give his life" to make Leicester supporters proud. It's only a matter of time before Brendan Rodgers starts talking about what Brendan Rodgers thinks on Match of the Day.

It does seem odd at face value, but Scottish football has very few challenges once you have won everything a few times. I expect any half competent manager could guide Celtic to the title most years.
He has jumped before Rangers under Gerrard get momentum.

Shirley it's the money?

Money, sure, and a desire to prove himself in a challenging environment, because a Championship runners up medal with Swansea isn't much to get excited about. Fair play to him for that, but I can't see this ending well because he really isn't very good.

Don't call me Shirley..

I can not work out if @KneesUp is writing that with a straight face. It is fairly clear he would rather be a small fish in a big pond (with room to grow) rather than a big fish in a tiny pond.

Poor taste given that someone has already done that.

In the grand scheme of things the Scottish league is an irrelevance, barely noticed by the rest of the world. The EPL is global and even the least successful clubs have a massive world wide profile.

You're underestimating Scotland and over egging England there.

Our game is sold all over the world.
