CHRIS SUTTON has posted a video o social media to outline his own thoughts on the news today that Brendan Rodgers has travelled down to Leicester to speak to their board about taking over as manager after being given permission to speak to the Irishman by The Celtic Board.
Sutton said: “Wow Brendan Rodgers off to Leicester City it looks like and quite frankly it stinks.
“The timing of it stinks. He is going to a club who are playing for absolutely nothing. They are not going to get relegated and they are not going to get into Europe.
“I am really disappointed and I think there is a lot of Celtic fans out there as well that will feel let down. This was the job that Brendan said was his dream job so why is he going now to a club who have nothing to play for?
“Quite frankly, IT STINKS!” ????

“It looks like Neil Lennon will get the opportunity and I wish him well.
“In terms of how Brendan has left the club I think he has left the club in a tough situation. Short-term loans, losing the centre-half pairing and the right-back in the summer there is a big overhaul which needs doing.
“But at the moment it’s about the here and now. Domestically Brendan, clean sheet has been absolutely fantastic.
“Europe has been too tough for Brendan as it has been for a lot of Celtic managers. It’s been very negative of late.
“There has been a breakdown in the relationship with Peter Lawwell. Brendan threw him under the bus earlier on in the season and from that moment you are thinking this is not going to last.
“Bottom line, the timing of this absolutely stinks. Brendan Rodgers is a top coach and I certainly wish him well. But come on Brendan, the timing it’s poor.”
