Charlie Nicholas has accused Dermot Desmond of allowing Brendan Rodgers to become bigger than Celtic.
The former Liverpool and Leicester boss is back at the Hoops on a three-year deal after his return was confirmed on Monday. It comes four years after Rodgers upped sticks for the East Midlands in a hurry and fans were not impressed. The Green Brigade doubled down on their fraud claim, sharing a snap of the banner they unveiled at Tynecastle in the aftermath of Rodgers’ exit back in February 2019.
Nicholas, who isn’t exactly Desmond’s No 1 fan, has questioned why the majority shareholder has ripped it up to get Brendan back after handing Ange Postecoglou full control two years ago. His habit of only turning up when there’s silverware to be lifted has also irked the former striker. He admits Rodgers’ make sense on the pitch, but the manner of his second coming doesn’t sit well.
