I’m not always right, but after nearly ninety years in this game, I eventually get it right—like when I predicted Rodgers would leave Celtic. The timing was just off.
I’ve always believed that his flashy style, with those Gucci belts and bright smile, reflects who he is. He’ll always follow the money; egotists tend to do that.
Last season, I thought pressure from Ibrox would drive his departure, and he narrowly escaped then. This season, though, it’s a different distraction—the bright lights of the EPL are calling him back down the M25.
With Ange Postecoglou now under pressure at Tottenham Hotspur, it’s only a matter of time before Daniel Levy comes waving cash in front of Rodgers. His team’s poor performance against Falkirk yesterday shows his focus is elsewhere.
As for Postecoglou, his uninspired win over a struggling Bournemouth proves he’s not as good as he believes. I feel justified in my earlier critique of him.
An old-timer like me usually gets it right eventually. I knew Postecoglou was overrated, and it’s now clear. Ironically, when one ex-Celtic manager loses his job, the current one is quick to step in. We saw how fast Rodgers returned in 2019, and I expect it to happen again soon.
With the Ibrox side regaining their footing, they’ll start to gain momentum. They’re coming for Celtic, and this time, they mean business. With David Cunningham King back in charge, they’ll have serious backing to challenge.
And if you think Rodgers has limited EPL options, think again. Julen Lopetegui could soon be sacked from West Ham after a poor start, and it won’t take long for David Sullivan to make a change if results don’t improve.
Ultimately, it will come down to who bids higher—Levy or Sullivan. With pressure mounting from Ibrox, it’s likely Rodgers will take the cash and run.
I rarely miss with my predictions. Like Dave King, I have a good grasp of what’s happening. King knows how to challenge Celtic, and I have no doubt that his return will mark a significant moment for Ibrox.
I envision him building a house of cards in the blue room, capturing everyone’s attention. Once complete, he’ll blow it down and say, “All I’ll need to do is fart in the general direction of Celtic Park, and the whole operation will collapse like that house of cards!”
The crowd will erupt in cheers, proclaiming, “The King is dead, long live the King!” He’ll boast about investment and seizing title 56 from Celtic.
Mark my words: all of this will happen with Rodgers’ departure, as King’s loyalty to Ibrox will draw him back, while Rodgers can’t resist the lure of cash—and those Gucci belts. Remember, you heard it here first.
