Brendan Rodgers confirmed as Leicester’s new manager, Neil Lennon caretaker Celtic manager, in a move surely designed to calm down the sectarian abuse that has been creeping back up recently!

I’m surprised on both fronts, but at the same time Rangers are closing the gap, so he can leave Celtic on a high point, and then we’re probably the biggest job he is likely to get right now (won’t go to Everton, West Ham have Pellegrini, Wolves have NES, Watford are doing better than us this season but less potential finance, Newastle are a bigger club but... Mike Ashley)

So it’s a chance for Rodgers to try and get us back to 7th/8th for a couple of years, develop a young, talented but one which is also inconsistent & unproven, and if he can have 2-3 good seasons, he has the chance of one of the big 6 potentially.

It’s seems to make sense for both sides, still a little surprised it’s now rather than the end of the season. It’s the first managerial appointment I really like since Pearson came back.
