Brendan Rodgers is expected to become Leicester City's manager after Celtic give him permission to speak to the Premier League club.

Given permission for talks
Apologies for being off topic but Graz comment is so crass and unworthy of a respected poster that it is important to give it a reply.
In the 1990s English Heritage did a massive restoration of a place called Witley Court. The man who knew more about Witley Court than anyone else was in his eighties. Nobody from English Heritage even contacted him to say what they were doing let alone seek his advice. A short time after I said to someone from English Heritage "You know Bill was very hurt that he was ignored over Witley Court" The reply was "We thought that at his age he would not want to be bothered."
They were too well mannered to call him "an old duffer" but that was their mindset.
This post may have nothing to do with the next manager but if it makes somebody think twice before using a thoughtless and hurtful phrase it will be worth while.
I bet they had to promise him a lovely war chest as well
