Chris Sutton’s a prize ****. Yesterday he was saying he thinks Puel’s been extremely hard down by. How dare we fire anyone.

We’re going for Rodgers right now according to Percy. Not waiting for the summer.

I’d be perfectly happy with rodgers.
He’s a right weirdo but his teams are generally successful and he gives players chances.

Celtic are drastically inferior to most teams in most leagues. Scottish football needs to be shot & put out of it's misery.

What doesn't excite you?
Is it his excellent win percentage at Liverpool and Celtic and solidly respectful one at Swansea?
The fact that he's got used to winning and therefore might give us a mentality that we so sorely desire?
His desire to bring in young players?
His history in signing players like Coutinho, Firminho et al? And managing some top top players?
The excellently touted man-management skills?
The ability we'd have to attract better talent?
That in 13-14 his side scored 101 league goals and (albeit should've won the league) finished 2nd?
That in 13-14 he taught his team how to interchange between multiple formations?
Forgive me, City Fan, I'm genuinely curious. Personally I think he's not even in the same league as Holloway, Pearson, Sven, Pearson, Ranieri, Shakespeare and Puel in terms of when we appointed them. (Let's not dive too much into Ranieri as we know when we appointed him it was a weird one).
His transfer record wasn't the greatest but who knows who was pulling the transfer strings at Liverpool.
I'd much rather have Rodgers over Dyche. In fact I'd say that realistically Rodgers is the best we can possibly wish for.

There’s no doubting the job he did at Swansea. But his win ratio at Liverpool is nothing special for that club and is worse than Houllier, Benitez, Klopp etc.
The decline in his last season was pretty spectacular. And you seem to have missed out his period at Reading for some reason.
He’s winning trophies in Scotland with Celtic. My grandma could win trophies in Scotland with Celtic and she’s dead.
Yes they should have won the league, and they catastrophically bottled it. Does that not concern you at all?
These two are very contradictory.
And managing “top top” players doesn’t make you a good manager. Puel has managed some “top top” players don’t forget.
Is it too late to start the Rogers out thread?

Press are going for it this morning suggesting that a move for Rodgers is imminent. No waiting for the summer.
I was reading Alan Nixon yesterday who was adamant that City needed to make their move now and not wait for the summer. It struck me as odd that. As his source is at the Celtic end, why the urgency?
I've also only just realised that Rodgers Celtic assistant manager (Chris Davies) used to work for our academy under Rudkin. I was struggling to understand a link that could result in leaks - when we appoint a manager it is usually shrouded in silence until it happens - but this could well be it.
As Rodgers is now 1/7 and the likes of Appleton is back out to 40/1, it seems like there is something going on. Percy and Nixon being so clear, and even the Mercury pushing it strongly, seems to be adding up to him being in the dug out for Sunday's game.

If it's coming from the Celtic side then it could be due to some compensation differing between now and the summer?
