    He knows that most managers would not survive such a run, that's enough to know he's lucky to still be in a job, regardless of whether he thinks he's good enough or the right one to turn it round.

    He knows that no Celtic manager would ordinarily survive a run of two wins in twelve games.

    He knows that the players are no longer responding to his management and coaching.

    He knows that the Celtic support is more or less unanimous in its belief that he is unfit to continue, and he has seen the scenes at Celtic Park today and last Sunday.

    That should at least give him food for thought.

    I have to admit that's a fair point, well made. :56:

    So he is a fraud then he acknowledges his failure. He is literally sitting waiting to be put out of his misery

    Mate. He wants a payoff.

    I personally don’t think there’s a great deal of shame in it either. He’s due what he’s due. * the board if they think they can embarrass him into giving up hundreds of thousands of pounds.

    The probably want to come across as * to him publicly so no decent manager will touch us so they can bring in Stubbs or Jack Ross.

    Despicable *.

    I agree mate, actually think that’s more scarier than being a fraud

    He is a fraud. Not in the sense of being a Celtic fan and wanting the best for the club, but simply in terms of being a manager.

    I’ve never rated him. I really haven’t. Being gift wrapped the Celtic job twice is embarrassing. He’s a motivator, he isn’t a football manager.

    Now I’m not going to tell you again. Get that name changed.

    Let me ask you a question: does he strike you in his interviews as having a clue what is happening? He strikes me as someone bewildered and feeling a bit unlucky and just waiting for his luck to change. I don't think he will realise that this was his responsibility until after the fact (based on the fact that he has so far taken zero responsibility for it in his interviews).

    Every football manager should be forced to watch Bielsa's interviews. It's the complete opposite. He always tells you exactly what he did wrong (even when he wins) and often what he's going to do about it too.

    Precisely, between this and being a fraud of a manager.

    No, because he doesn't seem to think the failure is his fault or due to his failure (going by his interviews).

    I think that it is more likely that he simply overestimates his own abilities. Virtues like determination and self-belief can easily become faults.
