The Ronny Deila Thread

It's terrible that it's come to the point where a league title will be celebrated by the bare minimum..

End of season can't come quick enough. End this nightmare..

What a horrendously bad season this has been..

 

Very good article in today's web edition Glasgow Evening Times - "Opinion". Worth reading. Can't tag it across otherwise would.

 

STV news there confirmed he will be here until the end of the season at least

 

Season ticket sales will go through the roof now then

We are a * shambles of a club from top to bottom

 

So basically, he's getting sacked at the end of the season it would appear.

 

It's been the worst since I started following Celtic with the exception of Mowbray's.

Worst thing about it is I really enjoyed Ronny's first season for the most part part and it filled me with a lot of optimism looking into the future, which has made the last few months even harder to take.

 

There are many factors involved when looking at the season as a whole. For me though, the biggest error was the signing of those 3 players from Dundee United. But were they Ronny`s signings ?

 

This is so that * skinflint Lawwell can get mutual consent deal to save paying him the full year on the rolling contract get the non disclosure agreement signed and silence on how he * operates again

 

Was going to try and get tickets for the remaining home games but * that.

 

Of course they were Deila's signings, anyone who thinks the board pick the signings are deluded.

 

It could be possible but those halfwits at KDS will never back it.
Clowns.

 

I don't see the point in him being here until the end of the season, not with the way then whole atmosphere around the club is going to be for the rest of the season. It's just going to be poisonous.

The only logic behind it is they probably don't want to rush into a decision on the replacement and the only other option then would be to appoint Kennedy or Collins as interim, which would probably actually be worse.

 

I think it's fair enough to keep him on until the end of the season. We're not going to lose the league from the position we are in so there's not much to gain by sacking him right now. He HAS to go at the end of the season though. Yesterday was the last straw.

 

Yes quite a bit of money spent on three players who couldn't nail down a starting spot or perform well enough. The money probably could have and should have been spent elsewhere. I get the idea of the signings, 3 players used to the league would have been easy to integrate into the team but it just hasn't worked.

 

Opinion: Celtic guilty of sleeping behind the wheel during Rangers journey

Opinion: Celtic guilty of sleeping behind the wheel during Rangers journey
FOUR years after Armageddon, it’s the end of the world as we know it. And the Celtic support feel far from fine.

In 2012 the implosion of Rangers triggered the biggest story ever to rock Scottish football as the Ibrox club plummeted down the divisions. There were threats of clubs going bust, severe league reconstruction and the potential for our national game to crumble into dust.

Rangers embarked on a crusade to get back. Where to nobody quite new, but back to it anyway. After all, who could predict how much ground would be lost to a Celtic team left to their own devices with Champions League money pouring in while Ally McCoist and his team did their great tour of Scotland. Remember, this was a Parkhead side that only tthree months into the 2012/13 season beat Barcelona in Glasgow.

Evening Times:
Tony Watt's winner against Barcelona is a distant memory.

Since then petty debate has raged about whether or not this ‘Rangers’ are a new club with legions of Celtic supporters making you believe that their rivals from Govan are, in their words, dead.

At Hampden on Sunday, the only thing dead were the dreams of the 25,000 Celtic fans who surely would have wished for so much more from their club over this so-called unbridled era of domination.

Tom Rogic’s ballooned penalty was the kick that may have cost his team a place in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final and, more importantly in the eyes of some, a win over Rangers. But in truth it was a boot in the you-know-whats that has been coming for months, if not years.

Make no mistake about it, this was not a test for Rangers to see how they measured up to Celtic. It was a test for Celtic to see how they measured up to Rangers, and they failed spectacularly. When your best player is an 18-year-old kid – not the first time we have said that this season – then you know something is up with your multi-million-pound silverware-chasing machine.

Evening Times: Kieran Tierney clearly has the trust of his manager
Kieran Tierney has been brightest light from a dull Celtic season.

As Kenny Miller’s shot ruffled Craig Gordon’s net in the early stages, it was the young figure of Kieran Tierney that could be seen trying to cajole players around him. Some of them on the basis of Sunday are not fit to lace his boots.

Ronny Deila was the man standing in the Hampden technical area yesterday and he said after the game he expects no pity. Just as well. His signing policy has been flawed to say the least, as has his misplaced faith in players who continue to let him down. Stefan Johansen was poor once again against Rangers, Dedryck Boyata looked like he couldn’t keep weans oot a close and Gary Mackay-Steven contributed as much as Kris Commons, the man who should have been standing in his place.

Almost certainly the Norwegian manager’s days at Celtic Park are numbered, but if we are being honest this was not decided by Rogic’s shanked spot kick. It will be the end result of continued failure in Europe and a team domestically that, if they do hold on to the Premiership this season, have won just three trophies out of a possible six under his stewardship.

Evening Times: PARADISE FOUND: 58 players past and present adorn the artwork now covering the facade of Celtic Park
Trouble in Paradise?

IS this entirely Deila’s fault? Of course not. He has been placed at the helm of a club who seemed content to switch to auto-pilot until Rangers managed to drag themselves back into the top flight. He’s just the poor sod currently behind the wheel leading them down a blind alley.

Since Rangers’ demise Celtic have sold Fraser Forster, Joe Ledley, Victor Wanyama, Virgil van Dijk and Gary Hooper for big money. Apart from Craig Gordon and Leigh Griffiths, the cheap replacements simply haven’t cut it. A truly awful European campaign this year will testify to that.

Celtic are now in a position where, even if they win the Premiership this season, could go into next season’s challenge as second favourites. They will start their title race from a standing start, most likely with a new manager with new ideas and new players to bed in. And quickly. Meanwhile Rangers will continue to grow under Mark Warburton as they have done in the last 10 months.

Sunday was a power shift between the two clubs. Four years ago, this fixture should have been a show of supremacy by the team wearing green and white. Dead or not, this Rangers team will offer Celtic one * of a title challenge next season.

They only have themselves to blame.

 

Surely getting a new manager in sooner than later would be good? Especially if we aren't going to lose the league.

 

What part pal? I want him gone but it would be wrong for him to go and they two stay, they are as much to blame as him. I'd rather the 3 of them went Asap.

Yep, the buzz, the vision and the way we were blowing team's away last year was a real buzz and we looked promising..

Everything has regressed. No tempo, no pressing, no running team's to death, most of our player's not performing this year, a frightening number in general..

The fact we keep slating Ronny and our team but praising an 18 year old for putting the rest to shame, speaks volume's. How many time's has that been said this year?

As a team and our wins, there's barely been a positive this year and something to look back on..

 

Thank Christ we are 8 points ahead, having said that this guy in charge is such an idiot we could still lose the league, all it needs is a loss to hearts, Aberdeen and afore you know it we could be going in to the final game of the season needing a draw. Would any one fancy that scenario? I wouldn't. What a complete waste of 2 years. Trust celtic to make a mess of things just in time for the zombs coming up. Same old story.

 

update the poll, sacked now, or end of season, as im sure no one wants him hear after that anyway.
