Whatever you say about Rodgers (and some say way too much) he is a pretty decent manager. He nearly won the league with us, reached two semi finals the following season, took Swansea up and got them 11th etc before getting Celtic into the Champions League for the first time in a few years.
Yes he loves himself, yes his teeth are white, yes he's probably got a flash car, yes he goes to the gym/eats cornflakes for breakfast/likes Marmite/has a boxed set of Mrs Brown's boys/has a fit Mrs/likes mild curries etc (insert whatever else you consider to be important) but at his actual job, his living, he isn't too bad. Not world class or anything similar, but pretty good.
Also (which I reckon is quite nice) he seems to have a good idea of the proper way to behave. Rather than just talking about our "history" and our "DNA", about the way people really ought to behave both as current or former employees of the club, and indeed as fans, he actually acts it out. I cannot imagine him ever saying anything derogatory about LFC, even "in jest". He's conducted himself in an exemplary manner towards our club since he left, and while I'm not massively arsed about his future career he'll get the same respect from me.
He's a billion miles from Roy Hodgson, and I wish the fella well.
