The Ronny Deila Thread

Look if we qualify for the CL 5 years in a row thats around 100m that we otherwise would not have had. If we do things properly there is no reason why we cant access this money on a consistent basis. The old you have to spend money to make money cliche comes into play here.

And if we dont qualify? So * what we will deal with it and move on like we always have done. There is no excuse to not qualify really to be honest coming up against the champs of slovenia and scandanavia who we massively outspend as it is. Lennon got us through a tie like this when the whole spine of his team was sold. Its not that hard.

 

Regardless of the outcome this season, he has to go. There is no way back for the manager now IMO.

We could beat Sevco 8-0 and I still wouldn't want him to stay, the damage has already been done in my eyes.

People simply have zero confidence in him taking us through a qualifying campaign, and he has done hee haw to suggest otherwise. This season has saw us produce only a few entertaining matches at parkhead, the football is dross to say the least and he is far too tactically naive and inflexible for most to trust now.

 

Why are you posting as though I don't know all of that already? I'm not saying what I think we should do, I'm saying how I think the current board sees it.

 

Rock and hard place...

A defeat at the hands of the phantoms of Ibrox or a title defeat will spell the absolute end for Ronny....

If we pump the pretenders and lift the title the board will assume his position is justified.

What a * time to be a tim.

 

We may well beat the deid team and win the double, but it papers over the cracks that the 3 stooges are not the team to take us forward.
I honestly would not let those three run a raffle. One things is for sure the winnig ticket will be '451' if you get my drift.
I look at our team and unless you are blind we are bobbing along with no direction. A rudderless ship. We need to deal with the issue that is why our fans are * off and we are not dealing with the issue at hand. So this is what is letting the press and deidco have a bit of a field day at our expense. Let us beat Thistle next and take the season one game at a time. But if the 3 stooges are here on July 1st then I am afraid we are in for another bumpy ride in 2016/17.

 

You actually find it hard to choose between a league title and cup win over Rangers and losing the league and crashing to the Huns? Seriously?

 

What European cash? Certainly not £15m the last two seasons...

 

MON true to his word??? Was willing to walk out on the road to Seville!! Played the support like a fiddle. Everyone lapped up the ' I am a Celtic Fan through and through' while at the same time working his ticket back to England. Hope he never darkens Celtics door again

 

Well this is some conspiracy bullshit right here

 

Away ye go with that *

 

Exactly that's my point the reason that we failed was because of instead of building on the foundations that we laid we implemented austerity, signed the wrong targets, and hired the wrong manager. If we follow a formula of having an experienced tactically sound manager with seasoned players we will qualify. We then use this money to add quality and extend contracts. The way we are doing it is wrong totally wrong.

 

These wee diddy teams that we should be beating in Europe-are doing us with a far smaller budget- ask yourselves why ?Why? The manager understands football and football tactics-he will know the opposition strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand we have the 3 stooges! Ronny going on about how fit you have to be to be a footballer. We know that. But I believe he has burnt our players out as well as having the tactical brain of Donald Trump!

 

You know as well as anyone that there are no guarantees. None.

The board are obviously looking at the prospect of us splashing the cash and not getting the Champions League money, which is a possibility. We're playing what amounts to three cup games to get into the Champions League, and could easily lose out.

Is it a risk worth taking? Possibly. But it's easy for me and you to say that, we're not charged with protecting the interests of our shareholders.

 

Away and throw * at the moon

 

:smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

You hope the only other manager after Jock Stein to get us to a European final(including many of the other best moments of the last 20 year) never darkens Celtics door again, ehhh wit?

 

If you have a problem with R.D. that's fine ,everyone has there opinion , but to resolve
the don't like R. D issue wont be solved by staying away from Celic Park, you look at
The Rangers under A. Moist, playing a load of * week in week out, but the support
still came to the games , if you support Celtic you support Celtic, it's you that are
throwing the towel in, it's you that are downing the tools, the players need you more than ever, get onto the board , but don't forsake the team, HAIL , HAIL.

 

* the bank of new york and the rest of them. We are a football club stop forgetting that. Even if we do fail to qualify we have still invested in ourselves and will make it easier to qualify the following season.

 

Again, you're thinking purely as a football fan who doesn't have the kind of experience of the business world that Peter Lawwell does.

And also, I'm going to stress again that I don't disagree with you. I would love to see us spend big money on a manager, give him the money to buy better players, lift the wage budget up a bit and so on.

But, like you, I'm not being paid nearly a million quid a year by a board of people who are vastly more experienced in matters such as these than I am.

 

And yet all they deliver is * failure. Wrong decision after wrong * decision. I have long lobbied for us to move away from the PLC model because that only looks out for number 1 "the shareholders" and not the ordinary punter shareholders either and the interests of these shareholders regularly comes into direct conflict for what is best for Celtic Football Club. No amount of propaganda about "one of the best run clubs in the world" will distract me from the truth and that is that the tail is wagging the dog at our club.

 

That's all subjective, of course.

In the past five years we've won 4 league titles, 3 domestic cups, managed to qualify for the Champions League twice (including a run to the last 16), and qualified for the Europa League twice.

At the end of this season we could add a league and cup to that as well, which isn't too shabby on paper really, is it?

So, whilst we've certainly not hit the heights recently, to classify what we've done as "* failure" is stretching it a bit.
