    Might well have :56:

    He was given the job because of his relationship with the Owner, it was too big and he ultimately flopped.

    He will be a success in management though IMO.

    When he left, they weren't far away from the relegation places, and were in horrendous form. Relegation form to be honest.

    What's to say the Celtic job wouldn't be too big for him as well then?

    He might go on to be a success in management. Would I want him here after seeing what he done in his last job? No thanks.

    But you would want Moyes based on what he done at Sociedad? I would.

    What's to say he becomes the next Mourinho or Guardiola? Same as there's to say the job is too big for him.

    Anyway, it's pie in the sky. My point is I like Neville, I like his attitude, I like his work ethic and I like his understanding of modern football.

    He has a lot going for him and someone will benefit from that eventually.

    I think his point is Moyes has had unquestionable managerial success at Preston and then Everton over a prolonged period of time, regularly outperforming teams that were outspending them - a trait which could bode well for us in Europe.

    Neville's only managerial experience was an unmitigated disaster and therefore - despite being insightful and knowledgeable as a pundit for Sky - is irrefutably a big gamble. And at this point we cannot afford to gamble.

    Clutching at straws here are you not? I would take Moyes in a second. He has been slightly more successful than Gary Neville in management as well, but you already know this.

    Well you have just said the Valencia job was too big for him. Is there any less pressure when it comes to the Celtic job? I wouldn't say there is. So you would happily take somebody who was in over his head at Valencia, with no previous managerial experience?

    I like Neville as well, as a pundit. He was superb at it. As a manager, not so much.

    No straw clutching at all.

    Neville isn't even an option at this point, all I'm saying is (subject to the latest Giggs rumours) is that I'd have Neville long before Giggs. Entirely natural progression of the discussion given the link they both have.

    Valencia may not have our support but they are wealthier and play in the best League in the World.

    You said you would have Neville here in a heartbeat. That's not quite the same as you would rather have him over Giggs. I would rather have most names mentioned over Giggs. I wouldn't take all of them here in a heartbeat though.

    Giggs will never become a manager I dont think at any level. Doesn't seem to have the personality for it and I don't think anyone would take him serious.

    Agree that i'd rather have Gary Neville too although he too at this point would go down as one of the worst managers in history alongside John Barnes. Took Valencia from 8th to 14th? left and in 4 games they went back up to 8th managing to beat Sevilla and Barcelona lol

    If Giggs or Neville both had a go at managing a team in England like Nottingham Forest or Sheffield Wednesday my money would be on Neville doing a better job than Giggs.

    I think Giggs' success as a player would have him commanding automatic respect at most clubs he took over.

    I actually don't.

    You don't have to have been a good player to be a manager, most good types of manager have certain personalities, Giggs seems a bit of a * and a shitebag who I anyway couldn't take serious.

    If I was looking at Old Man U players who worked under Ferguson I could imagine the Nevilles, * or Keane maybe even John O'Shea managing but not Giggs, Beckham, Scholes even Rio Ferdinand or any of the others. Don't know what it is but they just don't seem like managers to me. Too soft and clueless seeming like Ally McCoist.

    Agree about Giggs. I remember there being some sort of documentary of his time as interim manager and it showed one of his team talks at the hotel to the players. I think they were playing Stoke but it came across as unbelievably uninspiring. Was like something a Sunday league manager would have said, 'Right lads, Stoke tomorrow, we all know they're going to run their bollox off...'

    I want our next manager to have many of the same ideas that Ronny does, but with a better understanding of both Celtic and Scottish culture and football. I think you need a bit more steel to manage in the UK than in Scandinavia

    Plenty of good footballers can struggle with that. John Barnes for example.

    Could imagine it, Giggs has probably been about too long that even if people don't really know what he's like they think they do. When I think of him I think of a dull, quiet guy who i'd say comes across as more dumb than smart then he pumped his brothers wife for years and got caught so you think of him as an * as well.

    Would take a lot to turn that around if he was managing me anyway. Plus he just seems soft, if he was raging and giving me abuse for a poor display i'd probably be thinking to myself "you are a * shut the * up"/

    Who would seriously respect Giggs? he would be trying to pump Lisa Hague whilst Commons was training

    Over other rumoured options was what I meant.

    Moyes is my first choice, has been for months. In fact he's the only guy I said I'd want over Deila.
