    The left field candidate could be Moyes high percentage of west ham fans want him gone win or lose the conference final and hearing that on a few of their podcasts .
    That's why working in the EPL you have a short career if you have one bad season.

    Would rather die.

    Luis Enrique i'd like if we can get him, plays pure football and passing from the back. I thought Spain were quality at the World Cup but pish up front, the way the played from defence to the final 3rd though is one of the best i've ever watched.

    But would he even come here?

    I’d rather Pep or Klopp to be honest.

    Barcelona to Spain to Celtic doesn't seem likely but I wonder why nobody comes in for him.

    If I was Man Utd, Chelsea or PSG or Bayern i'd be all over him. His Barcelona team is the only one that got near Guardiola's and he was actually really good with Spain even though he played Gavi and Pedri since they were in nappies and had nocunt up front.


    Guys like Ten Hag, Pocchetino, Nagelsmann and the dafty at PSG and Tuchel etc don't seem near his quality of coaching.

    Really don’t want Ange to go but don’t envisage the huge drop off in Celtic if he does. We have the best eleven in Scotland by a distance. Financially way ahead of any other team, have real sellable assets, CL football guaranteed, dominated the game for best part of 20 years. Not a bad foundation if we need a new manager plus that moley cockney * over the south is a gobby imposter

    He’s an extremely difficult manager to please, which is on record.

    Guillem Balague done some reports on him and even though he probably gave us the greatest trilogy of all time in MSN, Messi in particular wasn’t a huge fan of him.

    First of all, like everyone, I really hope we don't lose Ange.

    Think many people are very far off with who'd realistically take the job.

    Potter won't happen, I can say that very confidently. He just got something in the region of a £60 million payout for the Chelsea termination. When he comes back into management, it'll inevitably be a Premier League side. Regardless of how the Chelsea spell went, he's cemented himself as a very highly thought of manager with proven EPL success with Brighton, he's not coming to Scotland.

    Names like Bielsa also fit into the incredibly, incredibly unlikely. Very high reputation managers who have the name value to pick and choose from some fairly top level vacancies when they appear.

    I agree with the Kjetil Knutsen suggestions, however I worry that seems very comfortable and happy at Bodø. He's been there for 5 years, he's done exceptionally well and they love him there. I remember him giving a very firm and clear "no interest" when he was linked with the Norwich job a couple years ago, recall he vocally shut down rumours about the Rangers vacancy when GVB was sacked. If he does want to leave Norway, we are a perfect step up for him -- and as much as I don't like to say it, we're a great 'stepping-stone' club to showcase his talents -- if the Premier League (or top European club) is where he wants to end up.

    Tactically the transition would seem to be pretty smooth. He already plays a 4-3-3, full backs often play 'inverted' like ours, good build-up play, plays out from the back, high pressing and counter pressing. The Norwegian (and Scandinavian leagues in general) can be a goldmine for buying cheap and selling high. Plus with being at Bodø, it opens the possibilities for guys like Vetlesen, Bjørkan, Berg, Wembangomo, Grønbæk to be possible targets.

    Few other names I'd throw in, first being Mark van Bommel. Done incredibly well at Antwerp this season, again mainly uses a 4-3-3 and I like how Antwerp play under him. In terms of metrics, Antwerp rank 2nd in in terms of possession in the league, 3rd in terms of pass completion and 3rd in tackle completion. Is a good name, has some good experience and isn't a far fetched appointment.

    Wouldn't be hugely against the idea of Jesse Marsch in terms of style of play and what we can do, but he's been linked with teams like Monaco and I don't think he'd come to Celtic if there truly is teams like Monaco interested in him, the money being the main factor.

    Raphaël Wicky at Young Boys has had a brilliant season, won the league by 16 points, 52 goal difference, another manager who loves to utilise the high intensity pressing. A very realistic target, albeit not hugely experienced so far as a manager compared to some other names.

    In terms of a real outsider of a name, Marek Papszun of Raków Częstochowa in Poland. In his sixth year with the club he's just dominated the Polish league and won the clubs first ever league title. Won the league by 9 points, had a +39 goal difference and only conceded 24 goals all season. Repeating again here, but he also fits the style of play we use, in terms of high intensity pressing and building out from the back. His contract is up now and he announced a few weeks ago that he wouldn't be renewing his deal. Although not a big name in European football, he's already being linked with clubs like Olympiacos and Dynamo Kiev.

    It definitely won’t be Bielsa. He was appointed Uruguay coach 2 weeks ago.

    As long they are not looking at bringing back the rat that will split the fans and bring a toxicity back to the club and we all have the memories of the * dumping us in mid season.

    We need a good summer transfer window. No chance I would trust that rat * to deliver one.
