Who would be your replacement for Ronny?

If the board were looking for a new manager they would have to take into account the huge difference in pressure involved in managing Celtic.

That could be a reason Stubbs gets overlooked and the board opt for experience. I'd like to think we'd be willing to pay a little bit extra for it.

 

I would be absolutley gutted if stubbs got the job.That would be the last straw for me.Think i would die with a brain hemorraghe with rage

 

Don't see why anyone is even discussing the the future managers job. As it's obvious Ronny has the safest job in football. He should have been sacked the 1st time he failed to qualify for champs league he's now failed a few times and will fail again.

 

Clauses that "weren't the norm"? Again, I don't know the ins and outs of typical manager contracts, but how woukd Keane know what a typical Celtic contract wpuld look like - especially since all his managerial and coaching experience was in English fitba - which I assume would be far more open for managers?

 

I meant not the norm for managers in general.

Something that Moyes and co would be well aware of.

 

Like I say mate, dunno the fine details, but I'm glad Keane was "put off" from the job.

I think if the board were desperate enough to get Moyes, then they would more than come and go with his agent on the minor points of contractuals.

 

Think someone on here said we need someone with a big or strong personality rather than a humble guy like Mowbary,Diela etc.For me thats the way to gneil,Strachan,Lennon were all big personality's and were successful here.

 

Strachan's last year was effin terrible here.
I don't think I could go another dose of the narky wee *.

 

From what I gathered Keane was referring to the condition he would be working alongside Deila and not allowed his own assistant. But mainly he said the money offered was a pittance "they basically said it's Celtic, you should want to do the job for nothing."

Aye that would be good, those guys had very strong characters and good motivators. Except for WGS's last season of course. I think Moyes fits the bill. The fact he's a huge Celtic fan would make him put everything into making the team successful.

 

I don't want Stubbs, but it's clear as day that he's doing a better job at Hibs, than Deila is doing here.

He's built a young team that play nice football, and he has much less money to work with than Warburton does at Rangers. Aye, Rangers are first in the league but twice this season they've came up against Premiership opposition, got pumped in one of them and draw the other at home against one of the worst teams in the league.

Meanwhile, Hibs have beaten Aberdeen, Dundee United and the team that pumped the huns - St Johnstone - to reach the cup final.

Deila on the other hand, has signed what 20 players and how many have been that successful? We've went backwards this season, shagged out of the CL qualifiers, shagged in the EL, beaten in the cup semi by Ross County.

To suggest that we're just in a poor run of form is nonsense. Since Deila has been here, we've lost numerous 'big' matches and 90% of the time we play boring, predictable football.

Stubbs would certainly not be my first choice, but I don't think he'd do any worse than Deila. Not at all. But Moyes would be my first choice.

 

Love it.

So they * should! :smiley-laughing002:

I don't think Moyes is an unrealistic a target as people think.

 

One thing I would say about the Moyes situation is that I don't necessarily think that the board would try to implement the same restrictions on him as they do on Deila, or tried to on Lennon.

Despite his recent failures, he is a big, biig profile manager in the UK. He's had success in a big league and even had one of the most high profile/biggest jobs in the world. I do feel like we would be punching above our weight if we landed him. I think when the board go for a guy like Deila they realise that he would jump at the chance of managing us almost irrespective of the contract on offer and the restrictions placed on him. It's something he simply COULDN'T turn down.

Moyes though would be very different. He's the 'A-side' in any negotiation with us imo, and I don't think the board are daft enough to think he wouldn't tell them where to go if they tried the same pish with him as they got away with with Deila. As an example I don't believe there's any way the board would finalise all the major details with Moyes and then say, "Oh, we forgot to mention, John Collins will be your new assistant".

 

Another thing, if/when Deila goes, I think Stubbs will be near the top of potential candidates for the job.

Who else, realistically, is an option?

As I said, Moyes would be my first choice, but he might be put off by our board being tight *. Brendan Rodgers is another option but he's even less likely. Then it's probably the likes of Owen Coyle, Malky Mackay, Paul Lambert etc. And I don't think for a second the board will go for another manager from abroad.

To be honest, I think I'd take Stubbs over those three.

 

It's the fact it was Desmond the billionaire saying it to him, he probably never wanted him at all. Fergie probably asked him to take Keane down a peg or two. :smiley-laughing002:

I think Moyes would only come if he really wanted to. (I mean there is not the money to make him want to) The board would only have to tell him what finances will be available and if he decides to have a go then King of Kings is right, he would be in charge of negotiations from there. The fact the Deady Bears are back next season might tempt him.

 

I doubt they would be desperate enough though. By all accounts Desmond was desperate for Keane, cos he has a hard on for him.

I doubt they'll change for anyone else.

 

They will change if the fans vote with their feet, and as you said the other day - the board continue to become the focus of fan displeasure.

 

I don't have that much faith in them mate, they'd just come out and say the other party was being unreasonable, Lawwell will do a scripted interview on Celtic TV and have a sly dig at the Huns and everybody will be happy for a while until they realise we've been shafted by them again.

 

They paid big bucks for Mowbray.

It's been done before, and they'll do it again in the right circumstance.

 

That is exactly why we need him. We need a real football man that the board have no leverage over so that he can do things properly. This is the only game in town and always was. Our club needs the stability that Moyes would bring.

 

Roberto DiMatteo, or Nigel Adkins thought he did a great job at Southampton and Scunthorpe. DI Matteo has some decent experience in Europe and Adkins would cut the * and get the basic right.

Hopefully we don't go down the route of getting another unproven boss, if we do however I hope it's someone like Jaap Stam who might at least recognise the fact we have no centre halves worthy of the name.
