    Never had a problem with Strachans Management. I'd do things slightly different but thats just a personal style not a fundamental flaw in his management.

    Always liked him, nothing lasts forever tho, and when he does go, people will appreciate what a cracking manager we did have. Cause what is the chances of our next manager going for 4 in a row.

    think he has a long term club building vision that needs patience. He is not and has never had the chance to be a cheque book manager with us. He has made the team a lot younger. He is also the most entertaining charchter in UK football. I am surprised he has managed to win 3 in a row while recostructing the entire squad on modest drip fed net spending but I think this is just a begining and he will be here for another 2 or 3 seasons. I personally hope he stays here to complete a decade with us and then becomes Scotland manager for a few years. Love the wee man.

    I think he is one of those people who just dont like him cause he is wee ginger and mouthy and had the cheek to be a great player in a great team that humped us a lot years ago and he had the cheek to enjoy it. Totally daft IMO.

    totally agree. I love Lenny but he almost certainly had nothing to do with the turn around. He knows nothing about management and his immediate effect was a loss to Motherwell. As for Rangers being *. That was the most hard to beat Rangers side in about 7 or 8 years and they got past a pile of top sides to get to the Uefa cup final. I cant believe there are still those who want WGS to go. I tend to think they are hundercovers when they appear now.

    Mostly agree with that :50: and as much as i loved winning the league this year Rangers would have won it at a canter if they had a decent team. (you can go say im negative if you want) then if Rangers had won it with like 10 points infront this year when they could have done where would the Strachan a legend shouts be then ?

    Can’t argue with WGS record, three-in-a-row, champ league last 16 twice and even then we have been unfortunate to draw the eventual winners and favourites. I think it all goes back to Aberdeen days with Strachan alot of people can't forget he was not a Celtic man then, im not old enough to have seen them but end of the day it counts for nothing, we back Strachan as he is Celtic manager and we are Celtic supporters faithful through & through<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Also Strachan is one of the funniest managers I have seen, When he was asked by interviewer for a quick word and he replies velocity :56: <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=Picture_x0020_1 style="VISIBILITY: visible; WIDTH: 21.75pt; HEIGHT: 20.25pt; mso-wrap-style: square" alt="0" type="#_x0000_t75" o:spid="_x0000_i1025"><v:imagedata o:title="0" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\GORDON~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>

    That is a ridiculous comment! Rangers would of won it at a canter if they had a decent team? yes true but they dont, Celtic have a better side, so they won the league, and if Rangers had of won by 10 points we wouldnt be calling strachan a legend, could also say if celtic had of got relegated we wouldnt be calling him a legend either! whats your point?? none of that happened! might as well say if celtic won the CL we'd all love him!

    Personally i think he's a bit arrogant at times, and i dont agree with a lot of what he does on and off the pitch but he's won 3 in a row so cant argue with that, although if we dont stregthen from here then we can maybe start to say he's taken us as far as he can. Also, dont think Lennon coming in won the league but think it helped, gave fans and players a boost! Will be behind strachan again next season, bring on number 4!!

    Always liked him and backed him both as a person and a manager. He's been a great success.

    And if my auntie had balls, she'd be my uncle, but she doesn't, so she isn't. You've got to play the cards you're dealt.

    Mark Brown - 2nd choice keeper.. nothing special but he isnt playing anyway

    Caldwell - was one of our best players on the lead up to us winning the league

    ,Killen - Just a squad player nothing wrong with him

    Kenny Miller - isnae even with us and we made a profit with him when we sold him to Derby

    Evander Sno - Looked good when he got a run in the team in his first season and had a really good game when he came on at the Nou camp

    don't think my opinion of him will ever change tbh
    1st league title - won it because of big eck
    2nd - PLG
    3rd - sheer luck, only because rangers mucked up. (that made it all the better but still)

    am no complainin about that but it's th truth, not because hes a good manager. doesn't have a clue imo

    Ok so what is your reasons of how he managed to guide Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League 2 seasons running?

    :56: emm the home crowd, because he done * all away from home. I believe MON managed to get a draw away from home. Has Strachan got us a draw away from home yet. Any manager that was brought in the now with the squad of players would have got us to the last 16 no further but if you look at it its mostly down to the home crowd, because in recent games teams are starting to out play us at home yet we still pull it out the bag , when under MON we usually dominated and were feared at home
