In the midst of September, speculations swirl around Brendan Rodgers potentially leaving Celtic, with West Ham United emerging as a possible destination. The discontent among West Ham supporters towards their current manager, Julen Lopetegui, is palpable after a string of disappointing performances including a 3-0 loss to Chelsea, marking their first-ever three consecutive home losses.

Many attribute West Ham’s woes to the premature exit of David Moyes, a former Celtic man, despite his trophy-winning success after decades. Amid Lopetegui’s rocky start, discussions veer towards Rodgers, whose victorious return to Celtic and strong ongoing campaign fuel optimism and heightened expectations.

While Celtic seeks redemption in Europe, the club’s resurgence under Rodgers signals a promising season ahead. The prospect of Champions League success looms large, contrasting sharply with West Ham’s struggles. Dismissing any notion of Rodgers moving to West Ham, Chris Sutton asserts the superiority of Celtic and the unlikelihood of a downgrade for the accomplished manager.

As Celtic dominates competitions and eyes further success, West Ham’s aspirations pale in comparison. While Rodgers thrives in Europe with Celtic, West Ham grapples with mediocrity, emphasizing the contrasting trajectories of these two clubs.
