Incredible fluff piece on Rodgers in the Sunday Times today by Jonathan Northcroff. About how his work at Celtic now maybe is his biggest achievement, how he has changed and how “Only David Moyes is comparable in record and talent amongst present British/Irish coaches)”

it doesn’t mention getting Leicester relegated or leaving Liverpool in a mess, only to say “…sacked by Leicester after the seeming lack of vision and ambition in the club’s hierarchy sapped his energy”.

And all the players love him to bits apparently. “There is a list of players (hello, Soyuncu) who looked great in his teams and much less so after he departed”. Funnily enough doesn’t mention Vesty or Danny Ward.

Lack of ambition? I don't think that's fair to say. It was the club's reckless ambition (in context) under BR's management that landed us where we are.
