Chris Sutton says whether he thinks Brendan Rodgers would leave Celtic for West Ham now
West Ham United have had a poor start to the season, and questions are already being asked of Julen Lopetegui.
Indeed, despite what looked like a great transfer window on paper, West Ham are struggling this season.
Lopetegui is already under pressure, and, in some circles, potential replacements are already being discussed.
Speaking on , Chris Sutton has been speaking to a West Ham fan who suggested Brendan Rodgers as a potential replacement for Lopetegui.
Of course, Sutton had plenty to say about this as a former Celtic player, and he claimed that Rodgers wouldn’t leave the Scottish giants for West Ham now.

Brendan Rodgers wouldn’t leave Celtic for West Ham
Sutton shared his verdict on whether Rodgers would leave Celtic.
“I think Scott Parker, he’s a good leader, another possible name I think would do a good job is Brendan Rodgers,” The caller said.
“He’s at a huge club north of the border. Come on, he wouldn’t downgrade and go to West Ham now,” Sutton said.
Brendan Rodgers has done this before
Sutton is confident that Rodgers wouldn’t leave Celtic for West Ham, but we wouldn’t be so sure.
Let’s not forget, back in 2019, Rodgers left Celtic for Leicester City.
There’s a real argument to make that West Ham are just as big a club as Leicester, if not bigger, and if an exciting Premier League project presented itself to Rodgers again, perhaps he would leave.
Of course, Rodgers may now know that the grass isn’t always greener after being sacked by Leicester in 2023, but the pull of the Premier League is always going to be there.
Rodgers does seem to be committed to Celtic at the moment, but as we saw all those years ago, it is possible to tempt the Northern Irishman away from Celtic Park with the right offer.
It would certainly be interesting to see what Rodgers would do if West Ham made him an offer.
