    One is here as a charity case the other is here due to his surname. Neither are good enough especially Strachan but yet again we are persisting with them.

    What does being lifelong fans have anything to do with anything ?

    Well I'm giving a Celtic fans insight...they are a useless pair of * who shouldn't be anywhere near the club.

    If he thinks it's OK, and you thinks that's OK because Ange thinks it's OK...it's not OK.

    They should have went with Lennon.

    Its similar to the Griffiths and Ralston situations IMO. Rewarding failure.

    Sets another * precedent at a time where we need fresh ideas and faces across the board.

    I'm only going to focus on this point here, as it's the biggest reason why we're in the current situation.

    Celtic have had a horrendous habit of going for "Celtic" men. We done it 2 seasons ago when we appointed Neil Lennon, a horrendous manager who got sacked from the team who were 6th in our league at the time

    We done it last year when we signed Shane Duffy, the worst CB i've ever watched in our history.

    Kennedy has only kept his job up until now because he's a Celtic man. Gavin Strachan only got the job because his da is a Celtic man.

    If Celtic want to progress, we need to get away from the mantra of appointing Celtic men.

    Any positivity and momentum gained from Ange and Doms press and fan interviews are wiped out by absolutely backwards decision making on Griff, Ralston, the chuckle brothers and zero additions to a threadbare week squad. Like mentioned before, this is just a continuation of last season.

    so you made one false accusation against me and got caught out, and now you’re making another false accusation against me. Where did I say it was ever okay?!

    I’ll repeat again, I give Ange insights.


    yep, that’s fair enough then.

    And to add to this one of the main positives I feel about AP coming in is that he is as far away from a celtic man as you can get.

    But if this is how we are going to approach the "restructuring" I'm disappointed.

    Again, I don't think this is entirely his decision. It's It's hearsay at the minute but I'm not buying it.

    You said I don’t accept how Celtic fans feel. WRONG, and you cannot provide an example.

    You said I support Kennedy and Strachan remaining because Ange chose it.

    WRONG, and you cannot provide an example.

    I really think it probably was his decision.

    But let me ask a hypothetical. If Kennedy ends up managing the Lowland Leagues team this season, would there be opposition to this?

    Going to add this as my last point, but people have a right to be * off right now, trying to argue isn't going to get you anywhere, whether or not you're right or wrong.

    Let people vent, and if Ange wins us the champions league you can come in with as many "told you so's" as you want :50:

    As I say its hearsay but given how we tend to run things I'd give a bit of advice- don't believe a word that comes from anyone above him at Celtic.

    On your second point, I think its time he left the club entirely. He's been hanging on for 7 or 8 years now.

    To me it shows a severe lack of ambition on his part for starters which in turn transfers into a lack of belief in his ability from me. He clearly can't believe he's good enough to go elsewhere- he's more than experienced now. Is that REALLY the kind of guy we want as assistant? For me it's not.

    Have to at least admire the likes of Damien Duff for having a crack in another role.

    I get triggered when people have comprehension issues and then make false accusations, and then double triggered when they are daft enough to dent they made false accusations :41:

    Literally within a minute so what is it to be it was his decision or it wasn't ? Is he right or wrong ? you can't have it both ways

    You have got Ange blinkers on in the Melbourne Classic, I'm telling you that from a fanbase he has called this one wrong and has totally misjudged the mood just as you have too. Comments like due to logistics he couldnt have his own men etc. are lazy, condescending and patronising. As a fan, * that * and make it work, you using this as a theory for keeping on Stan and Olly fully demonstrates to me you don't accept how us fans feel about them and its all about Ange.

    Would be intrigued to know the stat of how many clubs have had the same guy as part of the coaching staff (top 3 coaching staff at least) for 4 consecutive managers btw. That seems a bit mad.

    Wheres @I love the celtic when you need the *.

    They weren't accusations they were observations....100% bona-fide, correct observations on fanboy *.

    I stated them above mitigating him keeping them on over logistics.

    Provide examples of accusations.

    For you it's about Postecoglou for me it's about Celtic. I'll always be pragmatic, you are just a blinkered lacky.
