Our next manager, who should it be

I'd keep Deila. If we sign defenders that can actually defend then we're sorted.

 

If failing to get into the CL is to be our reason for sacking managers we will be changing managers nearly yearly.

 

Did you think Van Dijk and Denayer could defend?

 

Bit of a predicament that the board have, do we sack him now and give the new manager as much time as possible for the qualifiers or give Ronny another shot? If he fails to qualify again then surely that would be the end but we would be in the terrible position of appointing a new manager when the season has already started, then it could be a few months before the new manager is settled and knows his best team, there will be added pressure of sevco fc get in to the spl next year as well.

 

Who do you think is deploying them as wingers and not allowing them to defend?

 

Well he signed Boyata and Blackett.

 

It is a considertion..

However we must judge ourselves on how we perform in Europe. We dwarf anything else in Scotland so to gauge our development as a club Europe must be the benchmark.

The lack of tactical ability and learning shown v Molde was embarrassing. The performance and lack of fight from the players was very worrying. And this coupled with the fact that Ronny is meant to know Norwegian football, I mean what the actual *.

Keep Ronny and give up any hope of playing in Europes biggest stage we are * miles away from that now..

Malmo set us back horrendously and Molde shows us what could happen again next year!

 

Aye I think he is. He's doing a good job there. As he did last season.

Whether he could do one here is a different matter, just don't think he should be so easily dismissed.

 

They were * of a lot more solid than what we have now.

 

And yet we still conceded a fuckton in Europe last season. It's not the personell that's the problem for me, it's a manager who doesn't know how to defend.

 

He's had 3 goes at it in 2 season, there is no way he should get a fourth, nice guy or not, he is a * of a manager, as much as Lawwell wouldnt know a real football manager if he bit him on the *.

He is the man responsible for mowbray and deila so he must be a right gullible * to fall for this i have a philosophy bullshit again, he got lucky with Lennon who had zero experience.

Lawwell is as incompetent in football matters as Deila

 

I think Lenny's appointment was pandering to the fans to be honest.

 

We should have acted long ago. If we act now at least the new man will have time to assess the squad before January before making some changes. I am confident we could qualify next season with this existing pool of players nevermind if we strengthen. We need to rid of Deila. He is as bad as Mowbray only he is very lucky to have been appointed with no competition in Scotland.

 

I wouldnt want the KOK ever to come here with the present lot in charge, when he failed it would ruin his standing with the supporters, the same way kenny dalglish did when he was in charge

 

ronny needs to be sacked now and even if we cant get someone in permanent by january the board has 6 months to appoint someone by may before the champions league qualifiers . if we need to go down the caretakers root theres a few managers out of a job or wee strachan doesnt have a match till september could step in as he couldnt do any worse than ronny .

 

There's few managers out there who I think we could realistically get in, that would do any better.

Paul Lambert would be passionate enough (I'd hope) but is he a good enough manager to progress the club as a whole?

Sean Dyche another name I've heard mentioned. Again, is he European quality? Does he have attributes and a philosophy that fits what we are working on as a club?

A mate of mine said last night, if he was Dermot Desmond, he'd be splashing the cash and getting Ancelotti on the phone. (Apparently he has family in Kirkintilloch)

For me, Ronny has the attributes we (the board) want. He has worked on a small budget and succeeded in his league with an unlikely side, he's big on youth development and getting them into the first team, and he wants us to score goals and be exciting to watch.
The last point is where he's falling down. We are shocking to watch in Europe at the minute, and we look so shaky at the back that our confidence is at an all time low.

I think we've got * all to play for in Europe at the minute, so you may as well give him the last 2 group games. If we can at least (the very * least) play well in the two games, and you never know, get a couple of results, then he can stay. If we turn oh as badly in those games or get 0 points from them, get rid of Collins and Kennedy at the very minimum. Ronny is no exception, but having your back room staff handed to you is not ideal. Surely Ronny must've had guys with him at Strømsgodset that employed the same philosophy? That also trained with the youths and helped with their development?

We're in a * situation, and there's a lot of reasons to sack him, but to sack him and have Collins step in would be ludicrous imo.

 

You know what I mean though, he isn't going to get sacked straight after the game last night. The board isn't daft, first we'd have to pay him off as well as Collins & Kennedy. Meaning we need to splash some more cash for a decent manager and coaching staff.

Armstrong has been good so far this season, he's adapted very well outwide so completely disagree about that. GMS is just struggling for form, he's a winger and is never going to be consistent.

Ronny will have till January.

It's as if we've never had a bad season in * Europe before as well!? In the last 10 years we've had what 2 great campaigns and few alright ones but still got a few humpings.

It's mentality, of the team and the management and in Scotland overall that * us over. Nothing new.

 

Also signed Jozo whose looked the best so far (little to go on yes but still), shame he could well turn out to be as injury prone as Derk.

 

You think Deila knows what Celtic fans expect from the team more than Henrik? I think that's nonsense mate.

I know. Which is why I didn't say Henrik had any other positives over him. That's Henrik's only plus over Deila.

It's definitely not nonsense. If you think it is you're * deluding yourself.
