Brendan Rodgers refused to answer a question about the board matching his own ambition for the club after the manager spoke out against Celtic’s frustrating summer in the transfer window.

The Irishman gave his thoughts before the AEK game about losing out on John McGinn and his frustration seemed visible and deliberate when he bemoaned that deals need to be done.

Asked at today’s press conference if the board backed his ambition – the manager side swiped the question instead of giving the answer most Celtic fans would like to hear.

Brendan Rodgers is very straight to the point but also very fair. If he thought the board were backing his ambition then he would have said so.

It’s worrying the manager felt like he couldn’t answer the question or is using the media to strongarm the board into being more pro-active on transfers.

Id this Celtic board alienating the best Celtic manager we’ve had in years?

  1. Board are a fucking joke Hendry not Celtic class also you always need strength in depth all over park simple board aren’t matching or supporting Rodgers wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up leaving Celtic.

  2. The Celtic supporters are mostly realists when it comes to competing in transfer market with premier league teams in England but when we lose out on a player who would have cost us less than 3million and is someone our manager wanted ,then someone needs some explaining to do.I won’t hold my breath as I’ve supported Celtic for nearly 70 years and the board have mostly treated the support with contempt.I wish the manager and the players all the best in Athens but is going to take some effort.

  3. Most of the players we are linked with these days apart from McGinn are below average, bringing back Izaguirre is a complete wind up I’m shocked that we are doing our best to allow the others to catch us. The board better surprise us with a quality signing. All these loan deals etc and youth players are not what we need.

    • Exactly Stevie spot on mucker also what is the point signing young guys for a development side also is that the bloody best board can do with izaguirre giving us I just hope if Rodgers was to walk if I was the hoops fans I would be protesting her.i just want the board to match fans expectations been too long we not getting what we deserve etc not fair on Rodgers either .

  4. I’m really upset at moment cos I’m a die hard Celtic fan I just think Celtics record away in Europe I think they will wilt in the heat next week also with our defence we will fail I wouldn’t put simo or Hendry anywhere near Athens next week play boyata and gamboa.

  5. By all accounts it was Mr Desmond,who after witnessing,over the top celebrations by sevco’s.suits in the Hampden stands after they beat us in S.C. semi 3 years ago,who then went all out to get Brendan to the club.
    Brendan has often spoke of having a good relationship with Dermot,so perhaps a one on one is required here.
    Or is it,the case that Brendan’s emotional attachment,as a fan was used to get him in,much the same as the supports is taken for granted.Brendsn’s next move may provide answers?
