Who would be your replacement for Ronny?

he is still the fav biggest price 9/4

 

If you look through the candidates from favourite down then theres really only 5 guys who are realistic - Keane, Lennon, Lambert, Michael O'Neill and Roberto Martinez.

If McGloan is right, that rules out Keane and leaves only those other 4. Michael O'Neill is a * and has only managed wee * diddy teams surely it won't be him which leaves Lennon, Lambert and Martinez. 2 would be cheaper and Martinez would be more unlikely.

Unless it's someone foreign who * hardly know again then I can't see past Lennon or Lambert.

 

moyes ??

 

It won't be Lennon or Lambert, Desmond knows he needs to bring in a high quality manager

 

For me he's not realistic at all. He'll be wanting £50k+ a week and won't be short of offers from teams like Villa, Newcastle maybe even the likes of Watford etc

Same with Rodgers.

Martin O'Neill probably too old now for week in week out management and is probably happy to do the Ireland job until he retires.

 

Easier said than done though, no high quality managers would touch us with a barge pole. 1. We don't have the money to pay them and 2. They would only take a hammer to their reputations(thus risking £millions in future salaries).

 

you would give peter lawwell a wet dream

 

It's true though.

Why would you if you were Moyes or Rodgers risk everything to earn basically heehaw when you know you can walk into a job that will pay 3/4/5/6 times as much with much less pressure where you have the chance to in future earn the same in other jobs or even more.

Coming to Celtic and failing to make the Champions League just once, will see their reputation in tatters and future earning prospects diluted.

Given the massive increase in money in the EPL from now on too, you'll probably find that soon all the managers down there will be getting about £100k a week.

Who's going to come to us where they'll get £25k max and almost certainly rule themselves out of getting a £100k a week job down there for a long time.

 

So you think we have no chance of getting Moyes or Rodgers? It is clear that they are interested in the job, and it looks like they have been interviewed . Contrary to what you think, the Celtic job is still a very highly prized position

 

No, they will never accept the money we can afford.

We can probably only afford to give a manager about £40k a week at the very best, that might only be half of what these guys could get in England, then theres their backroom staff they might want to bring guys in who are used to earning £15k a week or so as coaches in the EPL where again we are probably used to paying about £5k so their staff might not have any interest in coming here either or we'll need to pay big money for them.

That might be too big a gamble for us to have a management staff on about £80k a week when we are used to one on around £30k a week. Then those calibre of managers would probably demand like 3 year contracts, so if they * up they'd be due large pay-offs which could be a disaster.

I just can't see it at all. As it's either a massive gamble for them(reputation wise) or massive gamble for us financially. Those type of things usually just don't happen.

 

Fine, I'll accept Paul Lambert.

 

Yes that is true with a manager like Martinez but both Moyes and Rodgers are Celtic men. That is a big factor to whether they would come here, coupled the possibility of CL football and trophies

 

Just imagine if it did happen to be Moyes or Rodgers and their backroom staffs on a 3-year contract on big money and they failed to qualify for the CL which is probably about a 50/50 chance then happened to get knocked out a Cup in an early round or do * in the Europa League or fail to beat Sevco or even lose both of the first to games, come Christmas fans would be going off their nuts again and Lawwell etc will be looking at each other like "Fucksake these * are due about £10million in pay offs if we sack them".

 

Surely we can offer a respectable weekly wage to a manager, lawwell pays himself a million pound bonus every * year.
Think only Lennon and Ronny where relatively low payed. Mon and wgs would have got something decent even Mowbray

 

So you want us to settle with Lambert . If we want to do well, we have to take risk s. Anyway, if we do appoint Moyes and Rodgers their wages will be within our financial means

 

No, I think we would take the risk but theres no chance Rodgers or Moyes would take the job.

Celtic: "Hello Brendan/Davie would you like the Celtic job"

Rodgers/Moyes: "What and take 30% of the salary we could earn in England, put our reputation on the line and probably end up at a team like Bristol City or Sheffield Wednesday after leaving further damaging my chances of raking in £millions for years to come?.... phone me back when i've no chance of filling my pockets down here".

 

ILTC, that's depressingly realistic. The money in the EPL is crazy at the moment. It would take a man who really loves the club to pick managing us over the EPL. I don't think Rodgers or Moyes are those men.

 

Let's just see how the next week pans out

 

That would only be the case ILTC if they were foreign coaches (I think).

They have enough of a reputation and good standing down South that they'd still get a job after us.

Everyone and their granny on social media (EPL fans I mean) thought Moyes should have came to us after Man U. Get himself out of the EPL limelight and work with us, a team he knows and loves, with the chance to win silverware and compete in Europe. Obviously we had Ronny so it was a no go then and he went to Sociedad bizarrely. :smiley-laughing002:

Your comments have a tinge of realism but they are hyperbolic. Rodgers won't end up with a pish team if he comes to us.

If they have nothing on offer down there, sitting with their fingers up their * is more detrimental to them than coming to us.

 

Aye, they probably have 2 routes.

Wait and take an EPL job on most likely £80k a week, 3 year contract guarenteeing them probably around £13million atleast after bonuses etc

Or take Celtic job say again on 3 year deal guarenteeing £5million or so after bonuses.

But with the EPL option as long as they do even an average job, someone else from the EPL will end up taking them again and that next time it'll probably be on about £100k a week.

After Celtic it's almost certain they'd end up in the English Championship(unless they pulled off miracles by getting Martin O'Neill type results with the kind of squad we have now - near impossible). In the Championship they'd be lucky to get £20k a week so financially you have an easier job with the prospect of possibly getting about £25million in the next 6 years and the other option is a harder job where you might only get about £8million over the next 6 years.
