Celtic fans: Brendan Rodgers 'ready' to quit after 'terrifying' board comments

Celtic fans are fearing Brendan Rodgers could walk away from the club after his latest comments about the board and transfers.

The Hoops boss was asked about Matt O’Riley’s impending exit and what it would mean for the transfer window, as he responded: “We can’t be happy just to make money and build the pot.

“We want to strengthen. Well, I hope so. It’s taken longer than I would have liked as the manager, that’s my honest answer.”

“How long have you been coming to Celtic?” he jokingly asked one reporter, “I just hope we can at least get some of it [the money from O’Riley’s exit].”

There was a clear frustration and concern about the manager’s answers – leading to suggestions of a rift between him and the board.

Following those comments, fans are tipping Rodgers to leave should transfer business not ramp up before the deadline on Friday 30 August.

Brendan Rodgers could quit Celtic as fans stunned by latest board twist

Rodgers previously quit Celtic to join Leicester City in 2019 while leading the league by eight points – with fans suggesting a lack of support from the board played a part.

Five years later, history may be repeating itself as a lack of backing in the transfer market has led to the manager’s growing frustration.

As the interview did the rounds on social media, fans are insisting he could walk away “by Christmas” with anger at the board a constant theme.

Trust me this guy won't be at this club for long btw

Then you'll know all about it https://t.co/DUlJkwIM9q— WillieMaleyCSCNewry (@WillieMaleyCSC) August 25, 2024

He’ll be away again soon and this time nobody will be able to slate him for it.Window has been a shambles. 5 days to go not signed an outfield player that wasn’t already here last season and sold probably our best player.Claim to be a big club but we’re ran like a Micky mouse mob https://t.co/r4afKVyyiJ— Chris ????

It's so clear he's going to call out this board and ultimately get the sack for doing so or will walk on his own terms

Was sold a lie last summer and they're doing him even dirtier this time round https://t.co/Dr1NRBo9G6— Niall Mallon (@Mallon7Niall) August 25, 2024

He'll be gone soon. https://t.co/QJg5BrjSYm— Swedish House Furniture (@UkuleleKev) August 25, 2024

That’s actually good and terrifying to listen to at the same time. https://t.co/CA4u7Eilsf— Connor Wilson (@ccww1967) August 25, 2024

Brendan is losing patience with this board now too. Stop giving this club money unless they plan to reinvest properly ???? https://t.co/UgO0gYLTgt— Tony Daly (@Tony_Daly) August 25, 2024

WTF is really going on at boardroom level?
It's clear BR is not a happy man here at losing MOR and wants players in. We seem to be one of worse run clubs at getting players in the door.???????????? https://t.co/BkLvyK0iDo— Garngadbhoy (@shamrockbhoy7) August 25, 2024

Manager once again fires shots across the bow of the board @CelticFC If they don’t get it done, I fully expect Roger’s to walk away by Christmas. He would have my full support if he does.— OnTheRun ???????????????????????????????????? (@OntHeron1) August 25, 2024

He's ready to walk…again.— SzpilmansbigcanofGherkins (@Snoutpaper77) August 25, 2024

I can see wee Brenda walking out on the club again at Xmas after not being backed again in this window and after his personal CV takes an absolute scudding after the CL hammerings!— Ricky134 (@Ricky1349516041) August 25, 2024

Doesn't sound good https://t.co/3BWz8mLdpY— Chris (@Christo20805012) August 25, 2024

If the manager is "hoping" it's grim ???? https://t.co/dTrAudpKrD— Michael Mccorriston* (@mickmccorriston) August 25, 2024

The boss sounds as sickened by the boardroom as the majority of supporters are, can’t disagree with a word Brendan says. https://t.co/KZY8pir5aI— ROY (@Airthreycastle3) August 25, 2024
