The Ronny Deila Thread

You could have got me by saying that my wanting him out was irrational and without reason. You would have been wrong but it would have been a decent counter considering the point I just made.

Do you not think I look at this objectively? Why is that? What reason other than the footballing reasons I have outlined numerous times would I want this man sacked? Do not mistake my passionate ramblings about us not having the right man for the job with a lack of objectivity. I take the accusation as an insult by the way because I did not want us to hire Lennon to begin with and I also thought signing Wanyama was pointless as I thought our midfield was very strong at the time. My mind can be changed based on evidence.

 

If we can go on a run of games playing some good football and we win the double, he deserves a crack at the Champions league again. Everybody goes on about our so called * players when deep down we all know they're young and will develop. It's a weird world we live in. The criticism the manager and players have taken (although not all unwarranted) has been way over the top.

 

Sack. We have already failed this season with no wins in the EL. Today's sympathy story shows the press are not all out to get him. Anybody who lets today's story in the press influence their vote are indeed products of media manipulation.

 

Nothing like a decent domestic run to get people back onside but in this instance we have been dogshit in our last three games to the point were our title is at serious risk. I have started to mentally prepare for us not winning the league (although I do think we will get over the line) maybe other people should start doing the same?

 

More like a primary school bully bumping into high schoolers mate

 

Those making excuses about our budget. You can correct me if im wrong, but do we not have a higher budget than legia, Maribor, malmo and molde ? Sack.

 

I had a notion

Fair enough mate, just cannot see what you're saying. I see a guy who is struggling and drowning in the pressure, doing the same thing over and over and expecting something different to happen.

For what he apprently was at Stormgodset, he just seems extremely unimaginative for me.

 

I hope you're right, but have to ask, what is that belief based upon? What events/games have shown you he has what it takes. Winner? It took Ronnie 3 years to win in Norway - Cup - and 5 years to win the League.,

 

Media manipulation only counts when it leads to folk wanting Ronny gone

 

I think it was Deigan, but could be wrong, that made a great point about Deila. I'm paraphrasing hugely, but it was along the lines of "Deila didn't have success in Norway by taking a poor team and making them champions through clever tactical play etc, he took a poor team and made them a better team than the best team."

It's an attractive proposition imo. However it is much harder to implement at Celtic than it is at a relatively unknown Norwegian club. Diminishing marginal returns - you could spend years trying to make the Barca side under Pep pass better, and press better and have no success. Train an * side in the same way and they could improve ten fold.

 

I will give him to the end of the season, league is a must.

 

You're * right you have.

I have just looked back over this thread, and yourself and the good Doctor had absolutely * all to say for the first forty odd pages (100 pages in your case), despite you having almost 1,500 posts in this thread alone.

Venglos first post was the following, on august 6th 2014. Two months after Deila was appointed and before a ball had been kicked in the league;

So aye, neither of you were around when he was first appointed, neither of you had anything to say when he was bedding in.

You both appeared on the scene with negativity, so you can understand why some view both of you as WUM's who are only here to bash the club and manager.

 

You can even see yourself that the stromgodset title is an anomaly ,a guy who's only experience was is Norwegian football should never have got the celtic managers job ,do you honestly think if we got malmo again next year in the champions league qualifiers we would fair any better (that's if this clown doesnt * up winning the league which he is poised to do)

 

It's not just European matches though, he has * up in a lot of domestic games too..

Club ethos? Gets branded about a lot but I'm unsure as to what ethos he is trying to implement? If playing the same way week in week out, with defensive naivety is an ethos then maybe he has succeeded.

He can't prepare us for a big game, can't change a big game and is out of his depth at a big club.

I take no pleasure in it but we need to get rid before it's too late.

 

Oh FFS another one that likes to cast up posts to defend the indefensible, in this case, Deila.

We will call it the Daleer/Daibhi TC Road Show

And if I was saying that back then I must have had cause for concern already about Deila.

And I was proved right.
