Andy Walker makes ‘strange’ claim about Brendan Rodgers and the Celtic board

The history of Brendan Rodgers’ first-round relationship with the Celtic board is well known. During his tenure as manager, there was severe tension between the Irishman and the Hoops administration.

So much so that in 2019, when Rodgers was given the chance to join Leicester City and quit the team, he accepted it without hesitation.

Five years later, the Celtic manager is back, and judging by the effort the team made to sign him in the summer, you would assume that Rodgers and the Hoops board had moved on and that the past was behind them.

Maybe not, based on what former Celtic striker Andy Walker has to say. The former radio host discusses his continued belief that there are unresolved concerns between Aaron Rodgers and the Hoops organization.

Andy Walker alludes to disagreements between Rodgers and the Celtic team.

Walker stated on [The Go Radio Football Show]: “It’s unbelievable that the manager wasn’t given more weight, and I think they made mistakes.” Brendan Rodgers is a great manager, in my opinion, so go grab him.

I also fully acknowledge that, based on what I’ve heard from friends and family who have attended games, the quality of play now isn’t anywhere close to what it was under Brendan Rodgers or the previous two seasons under Ange Postecoglou.

However, if you’re bringing someone like that back, you would have assumed that the issues they had previously, including their odd connection with board members, had been resolved.

“Nevertheless, perhaps not.”

See, Celtic fans are not stupid. It appears from the problems in the last two transfer windows that the recruitment department is having trouble determining who the right targets are.The fact that this season Rodgers has hardly used any of his summer acquisitions, except from Paulo Bernardo and Luis Palma, speaks for itself.

And one man needs to intervene and resolve the situation if Walker’s allegation is accurate and there are still disagreements between the Celtic manager and the board.

It was Dermot Desmond who wished to see Rodgers return to Celtic. He took the actions that precipitated the comeback. If he is unable to perform his duties effectively due to any issues, the majority shareholder needs to be perceived as taking action to address such issues.

Because the supporters will seriously scrutinize individuals in higher positions if Celtic fail to win the league this season in addition to the manager.
