Brendan Rodgers Slams Celtic ‘Coward’ Amid Contract Uncertainty

BREAKING: Brendan Rodgers has launched a fierce attack on an anonymous source within Celtic, branding the individual a “coward” for undermining him. The Celtic manager expressed his frustration over a recent report accusing him of damaging the club and plotting an exit, insisting the source should resign immediately.

In a heated statement, Rodgers confirmed that he is determined to stay at Celtic beyond his contract’s expiration in the summer of 2024. He revealed that the conspiracy against him dates back to his initial tenure with the club, intensifying the urgency of his remarks.

“This was a cowardly action,” Rodgers stated, reacting to the report that surfaced last week. He emphasized his commitment to driving the club forward, declaring, “Since I came back all I have tried to do is drive the club forward.”

Rodgers acknowledged the challenges he faces, including the recent struggles in the transfer market. He stated, “It didn’t make me think to walk away – it just made me feel empty, if I’m honest.” The manager underscored the importance of unity within the club, stating that anyone with frustrations should approach him directly.

He also mentioned that he has had informal discussions with key figures like Dermot Desmond and Michael Nicholson regarding his future but confirmed that no formal offer has been made. “Until that comes, I’m not going to be so arrogant to say I want to be here another three years,” he noted.

Rodgers’ comments come at a critical juncture for Celtic, as the team grapples with the fallout from a botched transfer window. The manager expressed disappointment at the lack of support but affirmed his passion for the club, stating, “I came back to hopefully stay more than three years.”

The ongoing uncertainty has left fans and players alike on edge, with many hoping for a resolution that will allow Rodgers to continue his efforts to enhance the team. “If I do get offered a deal, there needs to be conditions that allow me to work to the best I possibly can,” he added, hinting at potential changes needed for his future at Celtic.

As the situation develops, all eyes will be on Celtic and Rodgers, with supporters eagerly awaiting updates on his contract negotiations and the club’s direction moving forward. The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher.
