    I would say there’s more pressure on our players as they won’t want to be the ones who failed to get 10IAR.

    The Hun players have nothing to lose and everything to gain. They’re already perennial losers and will be underdogs to stop the 10 but could gain legend status from their hordes if they managed to stop 10IAR.

    I think AVB is by far the most appealing option at the moment, all the other realistic ones don't fill me with confidence at all. If we don't get him it'll either be Lennon, Moyes or Keane as Clarke ruled himself out. The last time we were in this situation I was wanting Moyes but this time around I don't want us going near him with a barge pole.

    I see it as the complete opposite. The Huns won’t let their players get out of Glasgow alive if they don’t stop the 10.

    They completely shat themselves after they went top of the league at Tynecastle then again after beating us in December. Not to mention them completely bottling the cup games against Aberdeen and Motherwell.

    Gerrard will be sacked if he doesn’t win the league next season no matter how tight it is.

    They’re all in on trying to stop the 10 and everyone in the country knows it. They’ve got no future after it and are surviving on loans just trying to challenge for it.

    We don’t need a manager who’ll be ‘safe’ and have us limping over the line. We need a manager that will take us miles ahead of them again and humiliate them.

    Go join a Leicester forum if you want a Rodgers love in. The post you quoted has * all to with Lenny or who I want to get the job when Delia left or now.

    Brendan Rodgers is a snake and if I have nothing bad to say about him then I will say nothing at all. I'm probably actually doing a disservice to snakes with this comment.

    * him and * Mo Johnston

    Gerrard isn't seeing out another season.

    If they finish 13 points or more behind us he's getting sacked.

    No way can they afford to give him anymore fake money to go out and rebuild a squad again. He's been given record investment to sign a record number of players to take them from being 9 points behind to potentially 13 points behind at the end of this season.

    They are dancing with death again, there is no way after posting £14 million in losses at the start of the season that they have turned that around, they'll be a ghost town next season.

    They’ve let their players off with us winning a double treble and skelping them the past few year so I don’t think 10IAR will be much different.

    They’ll just blame Scottish Football for ‘demoting’ them for the 10.

    I think you're right. I think the pressure is far more on us. The Huns are the underdogs. They're not expected to win the league. They've adopted a "we come from Jibrovia and we don't give a * mentality". You saw the way they played at Ibrox. It was berserk, death or glory stuff.

    That's why we don't want to be turning games into battles. And that's what I fear Lenny is doing.

    We need someone to methodically put them -and the rest of the league- to the sword, the way Rodgers did so many times, no matter what dirty tricks they tried.

    If the whole season turns into a battle it will suit the Huns who don't have players as technically good as ours -or the ones we can afford if we stop hoarding tens of millions in the bank.

    The conversation has nothing to do with Rodgers leaving. Or Mo Johnston. Everything to do with your opinion of football managers. You wanted Lenny before Rodgers in 2016. You now want Lenny before higher-rated coaches -regardless of what's happening on the park. I think that was daft then, and I still think it's daft now- regardless of the * way Rodgers left us in the lurch.

    Their fans attacker their own POTY awards last year after we pumped them.
    They attacked their team bus after Progres.

    If we win the 10 there’ll be riots.

    They can’t afford to sack him, they need him to do walking away.

    If we don’t win 10 there will be riots too.

    I’d personally feel more pressure going for 10IAR than stopping a team from doing it.

    This conversation started
    ME: Thats £9million we should already have in the bank to replace Boyata. The snake has already cost us every penny of the compensation we received along with a possible place in the CL group stages and another extra 30 or 40 million
    You: Record revenue and record profits. What a disaster Rodgers was for us financially.

    You are basically on here defending Rodgers and trying to twist conversations to suit your agenda.

    Also I want Lenny over higher rated coaches well that's higher rated by you. I certainly wouldn't want Lenny over Klopp.

    At least the person I am championing on here is a Celtic fan and not a charlatan masquerading as one until he can get a better offer. A man sic who wanted Dembelle to stay so he could take him away with him when he got the chance to leave. A man who found it more beneficial to himself to have Boyata stay another year than benefit the club to the tune of £9million. A manager who may have done well for us but it seems he was ultimately doing it for himself to increase his stock.

    I know a lot of Celtic fans. Wouldn’t let any of them manage the club. Got to look past that now.

    Despite their complete ineptitude even I would give them the benefit of doubt that they would have had a contract clause allowing them to sack him if something isn't met.

    I also wouldn't rule anyone out because they were a Celtic fan.

    I know some non Celtic fans I wouldn't give the job to as well

    I wasn’t saying I’m ruling out all Celtic fans, I’m saying we shouldn’t be so small minded and resurrect ourselves to just “Celtic men”, because as nice as it is when they are unveiled, it can backfire.

    I agree. Being a Celtic fan is a bonus over and above being the right person for the job.

    Well if we’re going to be a team under massive pressure then the last manager I would want is Lennon.

    His record in big games that we should be winning is underwhelming to put it kindly. When it’s a tight pressurised game he seems to panic.
