    @Mr Shelby hit the nail on the head, I'm sure Ange has done this before, but these coaches are absolute clowns and were a major part of why we were so bad last year.

    Ange needs all the help he can get this year, and we're already toiling in the transfer market, resigned a nonce to a 1 year deal and have these two clowns for another year.

    I stand by the fact he really ought to have had his own men in, but if genuinely is his decision I'll get behind it, but I fear it's not.

    I just think everyone should lose a * if results go terribly after a few rounds/months into the season, not while we’re still in preseason.

    This forum should be a test study for psychologists. The amount of hyper emotional reactions at the moment is mind boggling.

    Its not mind boggling though because (no offence) you joined about 4 weeks ago and didn't watch us last season.

    So I dont think you can comment on guys reactions, many of whom paid thousands of pounds to watch us last season with these 2 in charge.

    Again im repeating myself but i don't think you're reading the room the right way here.

    my strong gut feeling is that it is his decision. Who would he bring in anyway? He doesn’t know people in the British game, which means he would have to bring his own guys from Aussieland, and with covid restrictions, who knows how long that process would take.

    You keep saying you have followed the man for 20 years, some of us have followed this club our whole lives, personally I've been going every season for 30 years plus.....I've been paying through the beak year after year, we know how our club works and its quirky cheap ways and this isn't our first rodeo. We continue to back them and roll with the blows win, lose or draw though.

    He needed to put down a marker if nothing else to get the mood in the room and win some hearts and mind here, not with his ordained fanboys, he has failed miserably on this and he has totally not understood what they two * mean to the hardcore fanbase.

    No doubt about that. But the pair to my understanding were subordinates until Lennon left. Obviously Kennedy was never cut out for Celtic either with his little experience. But they’re young coaches, they’re Celtic bhoys. Wouldn’t it be nice if they developed into very competent coaches under Ange’s guidance?

    Ange has always said he likes to keep people who have attachments to the club, ie. fans of the club - young players like Moffy, and even coaches like the Kennedy and Strachan.

    Kennedy is a charity case who has worked under better managers than Postecoglou, if he didn't learn then he won't now. 40 year old trainees don't cut it in this modern game they all keep speaking off.

    I could not give a * whether they stay or go, if the manager wants to keep them on fine. As long as they are adapting to his system then I see no reason to start making up wee memes trying to make him look like a clown and calling him all sorts. * joke of a fan base at times.

    It would be nice but for me I wanted a clean slate top to bottom.

    So far all we have is a new figurehead to be led by the celtic board. Thats all I'm seeing.

    Again I go back to my post earlier in the day, this isn't just about Postecoglu, goes much deeper than that. There's so much wrong with celtic as a football club right now and I really hope for the guys sake he knows what he's doing.

    I personally don't think 2 weeks working with them is enough time to gauge.

    By highlighting ive followed his career for a long time, I’m just giving insights into how he thinks. I’ve communicated how he thinks, Ange has said he likes to keep people within the club on numerous occasions, so although I can accept people are angry by the decision, I cannot accept that people thought it was going to be any other way at this point in time in terms of his back room staff.


    absolutely shocking that grown men react this way on the internet. Let’s wait and see how the teams perform after a few rounds in the season and what results they’re getting. If he’s not cutting it, then by all means hammer into the manager. But at this stage it’s bizarre to see how reactions have been.

    Even an admin on this forum is calling Ange a “pub team manager”.

    He didn't know Kennedy or Strachan either so that argument is redundant. If as it seems the board are again choosing his staff then even promoting from within as long as we got rid of the chuckle brothers would have been better

    That's not really my decision, but there are people out there who are far, far more qualified to make these decisions on staff who could help Ange settle in.

    Here's one example of why these two are clowns. Ange clearly doesn't know all the issues within the squad, so his first Dilemma is what to do with Leigh Griffiths, a guy who has let down 3 of the previous managers, has severe attitude issues and is never fit. If these two were good coaches they would have made sure Ange knew he wasn't worth it, yet he signed a new 1 year deal and has * up already.

    In terms of people being emotional, Garry summed it up previously, last season was horrendous, we finished 25 points behind our rivals, knocked out of the CL at home to a mediocre team, and have one of the worst squads to contend with in the last 20 years. So far this season we have signed Griffiths to a new deal and kept two of the coaches responsible for last years shambles.

    People are going to be emotional, whether overly or not isn't the issue. If we beat Midtjylland then people will go over the moon and start praising Ange again, it's the vicious cycle that is Scottish football.

    Everything else aside, I don't believe that Gavin Strachan is qualified enough to even be in contention for a coaching job with celtic.

    Surely there's so many better options out there. Reeks of jobs for the bhoys.

    His da will be in upstairs by September.

    No offence to you but what your saying tonight is highlighting how little you know of the clubs current state. The part bolded is the exact thing we are trying to get away from

    Yes but you cannot accept we know how our club thinks and how they manage situations. Believe me when I say they two are useless * and have been part of the problem, they needed to go.

    We ain't an academy for useless 40 year old dud coaches hired by the board.

    Keep people on if they deserve it, keeping them on because it's easier is * abhorrent and an insult to us dicks who watched the last year or so unfold.

    Seems crazy to choose the absolute failure, soulless, negative, insipid, talentless shitehawks Kendo and Gav, than to be brave, bold and go 100% with your own team and philosophy. Regardless of covid guidelines. Only adds to the support of Ange being told he's having them.

    Decisions like these, only alienate himself from the fans, who are being tested to the max here. With the lack of action on the squad, an already seemingly impossible journey in the qualifiers. Whilst forking out again for zero on return.

    If Ange says uts his choice, then so be it. But it isn't positive with these cling-ons hanging about like flies to *.

    Rolling over, lubing up and letting the club * us up the * is the only thing that has made us a joke of a fan base recently.

    How any fan can accept they two staying is mind boggling!! They ain't young men starting out * sake.

    The crux of it all is that the manager has no say in matters, that's the bottom line here.


    We all suspected it and now we're seeing the evidence to back that up.

    but they were already at the club.... come on man.

    to be fair, it’s only on this forum (from my observations) and no where else that people are losing it at the moment.

    So I’m wrong to say that Strachan Junior and Kennedy have been lifelong Celtic fans?

    sorry, but that is plain wrong. Show Where I have ever suggested that I know better then anyone in here about their own club and their clubs situation? I’ve never done that, I’ve only given Ange insights.
