    Ronny is a far better manager than ange imo. Our players downed tools under him once he rightly criticised their diet and fitness. HH

    Some people are just * at being a manager. Some people are really good at following managers instructions. Hes not that bad if Rodgers tried hard to bring him when he left. Get over this obsession its his fault. He stepped in for a bit while we courted howe, done like every stand in does.

    Not saying he's a good manager but it's not the same role at all. I get it you are emotional and * off about last year, we all are.

    So Kennedy was that good, his input made Rodgers successful here ? Nonsense.
    He offered * all as an assistant or manager last year. He sat in a huff with a sour puss the whole time Lennon was there, in fact there was a few times he visibly shrugged and shook his head when Lennon spoke to him.
    When he got his shot, he didn't change * all. We arguably done worse towards the end.

    He was an integral part to 4 trebles in a row. Historic. Just because he doesn't have the main man skills to sort out depressed players isn't his fault.

    What is the 'inside information' though ? What do they 2 clowns know that is so good, they deserve to still be here ? The both of them need chased out the door.
    Freshen it up, start again. Not the same stale pish.

    He also was integral to the huns bullying and running over us for last 2 years.
    Integral to Celtic not winning a single thing, not even coming close to a trophy for first time in a long time.

    So we discredit him for the successful period with Lennon and Rodgers but also hammer him for the bad period. Got it.

    You, or I, have got zero knowledge of how much he offered to any regime, it's just baby out with the bath water stuff cause you want to wipe last season from your memory, like the rest of it.

    He didn't improve things towards the end as stand in manager but it would have been beyond most at that point, I'm sure.

    4 trebles in a row vs one bad season with crazy circumstances never seen before in history, restrictions and forced tests on players followed by riots by fans attacking buses. Thats tough to fix in 10 games. So far history shows hes not bad and your just bitter

    Kennedy is not picking the team so same mistakes won’t happen .... I’d go as far as to say he isn’t manager material because when he was caretaker he resorted to what Lennon was doing rather than change it up

    Which podcast was that?

    I heard an Aussie on a Celtic podcast claim that Ange would aim to go as far as he could in the CL, but "only an idiot would suggest Celtic could win it...for now."

    Presuming that's not the one you mean.

    Don't expect a coherent answer from him. I couldn't get one from him and now he's run away.

    That's my point. But you said they have inside info, so keep them around.
    You're doing the same thing. Giving him credit when Rodgers had us flying, the same Rodgers who's clearly a world class coach ... but looking for excuses for him with Lennon.

    How integral was his part?

    I don't even think the biggest Kennedy propagandist would claim the above; all you have to do is look at the evidence.

    Under Deila - 3rd in command - tasked with defensive organisation: Some of the most hoaching defending we've seen in decades, 2 Champions League qualification exits (3 infact, if you include Maribor) a Europa Group campaign that we broke records...for all the wrong reasons, 0 wins in 6.

    Under Rodgers - 4th in command - tasked with general coaching duties at Lennoxtown, no strategy, no tactics - Unprecedented success

    Under Lennon - 2nd in command - Another 2 Champions League exits, a treble achieved but in the most fortuitous of fashions rather than excellent tactics - Forster's sheer brilliance winning us the League Cup Final in one of the most one-sided final's in history and a Penalty shoot-out win against a lower league Hearts side that had barely played in months.

    The easy deduction to make in that is that our most successful period in that time is when Kennedy was told to take a backseat and we hired a manager who is regarded as one of the best coaches in the world, who is now on record stating he didn't attempt to take Kennedy to Leicester.

    I can't remember, I listened to a few podcasts with aussie folk on them giving insights.

    You think I'm gonna scroll through hundreds of pages to see if you in particular made a particular post ? Gies peace. You know fine well what I mean. All the aussies have been brutal on here with Ange.

    You said "Every single aussie poster that's appeared on here in last month" and you just said now "all the aussies."

    Prove it, or change your wording to "most Aussies" or "many Aussies", as that is very different to "every single aussie poster" and "all the aussies." English is my second language, I shouldn't be teaching you this.

    You also failed to explain what is deluded by someone wanting to wait until results before passing judgement. Let's not forget that, shall we?

    Course he is. Was always the case, despite what the fan club say
