Celtic's Real Problems

The Celtic board is unlikely to sack Rodgers, as he is seen as their "bulletproof vest".

Sacking Rodgers won't fix Celtic's underlying issues, which stem from a timid board that fails to take responsibility.

“Sack Rodgers” has become the mantra. It’s easy to chant, but let’s be honest — the reason it sounds like a good idea to some is that it shifts responsibility for changing the season’s trajectory from us to the board.

Rodgers pointed out that it's only nine games into the league campaign, and it's too early to write off the season. The real problems need to be addressed, and until then, nothing will change.

The author argues that giving the board the power to hire a new manager would be unwise, as they are seen as incompetent. The solution is not simplistic, and people need to "get real" about the situation.
