The impact of Brendan Rodgers’ return to Celtic has been lackluster. When he first arrived at Parkhead, we witnessed him produce the Invincible season. However, there’s a real chance that the Hoops won’t take home a trophy at this point. They might also be able to win both the Scottish Cup and the Premiership at the same time. It has to do with how they wrap up the campaign.
It is impossible to predict with certainty if Rodgers will manage the Celtics the next season given the current situation. There will be demands for change if the team ends the season without a trophy.
Of course, neither Rodgers nor the players are solely to blame for Celtic’s lackluster performance. The club hasn’t really gone above and beyond to support the team and the manager.
Rodgers is expected to want complete support from the board during the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider’s report. The manager is said to be appalled by the caliber of the signings as well as the amount of the transfer budget that he has been given. According to sources, after his return, he has become “furious” over several transfer-related matters involving the club.
Unhappy, Rodgers made a demand to the Celtic board.
It goes without saying that Celtic need to get much better at making transfers. The team has added a lot of players, so it’s not like they haven’t made any acquisitions.
However, very few of them have had a significant effect on the team. This season, there hasn’t been a single noteworthy signing. Although they have showed glimpses of brilliance, individuals like Yang Hyun-jun, Adam Idad, and Nicolas Kuhn have not yet shown to be true game changers.
It will be interesting to observe if the recruiting guidelines change next summer in light of Mark Lawwell’s departure from the team. It would be great if some seasoned and successful players were added instead of just project signings.
