Johan Mjallby

I though Mjallby left because he was going too get exposed for pumping Michelle Mone.

 

Who said he wasn't?

 

I have sent a letter to Lawwell asking at the AGM to allow a open question session and not pre approved by the board wonder if I will get a reply.

 

I think he will as well. I'm a bit disappointed at all of these ex players and coaching staff all coming out now and putting the boot in if I'm honest.

"What's that, Ronny? You're trying to steady the ship and get things going? * you, I'll just do an interview and tell every * that you weren't first choice for the job, how's that?"

I kind of want Deila and the board to turn it around and make a success of it so they can basically say "* you!" to Lennon and Mjallby, and the * who are flapping their gums in the media to line their pockets.

*.

 

He is considered by who to be one of the most talented young managers??? I have to say the spin on him being appointed was fantastic and still people believe in all that.

He is a young manager who won the league in his own country with a small side, also a cup as well, for me that does not say he is one of the most talented young managers in Europe.

And if that was the case and he was one if the most talented young managers why did he not have a load of jobs on offer on the table??? And by the reports he was going to come in as Lennon's number two.

Edit, also I agree he needs time but, he has not been backed by the board and given loan signings when he clearly spoke against them.

And the facts his formations and tactics cost us big time, now let's hope he learns quick and see what happens in the 12 months he has here.

 

Totally agreed.

 

Agree.

Plus they have stabbed fans in the back who have paid for STs. As Celtic fans themselves they have a responsibility to inform the fans of such things.

 

nothing we already knew.

 

I would think it would be along the lines of well we did try to get something like this in place but we can't control what will happen so it's a no from me.

 

It wasn't the tactics and formation who cost Celtic, it was the players who either didn't bothered or simple isn't good enough. They had plenty and enough chances to win both games against Maribor, but they can't score and they have defenders who make terrible mistakes. I really thought professional players should be able to adapt to different systems, but obviously not

 

I take on board your point about the comments regarding Larsson not being helpful to Ronny Deila. Maybe it was ill advised of Mjallby to bring that information into the public domain but maybe he figured everyone already knew Roy Keane had been offered the job ahead of Ronny Deila so it wouldn't make much difference.

The bolded part is just nonsense to me though. Certainly with respect to Johan Mjallby anyway. You really think Mjallby gave this interview just to "line his own pockets"? Sorry but no. I don't believe that at all. Johan Mjallby always conducted himself with class as a Celtic player and as assistant manager and I do not believe he would be making the comments he's made here just for a wee bit of extra income.

There are many Celtic fans who are deeply unhappy and wondering what the * is going on at their club. Mjallby has shed some light on a few issues for us. Good on him. I'll trust Johan Mjallby long before any of the snakes in the Celtic boardroom.

 

Hoarding money!! I don't get it - operating costs circa £65million profit last year circa £9 million including all our outgoing players - no CL this year. We don't have that much in the bank and certainly can't go into debt in the SPFL. We rely so much on CL to balance the books. I posted this in another thread and in my opinion we need to look at how we spend the £65 million i.e. do we need the size of squad we currently have when at least 30% will never kick a ball for the first team?? 90 odd if not more youngsters in our academy each year to produce a Forrest type every 5 yrs??

 

I'm sorry but that's not true, his tactics and formation in the Legia games showed that.

Now to the game the other night, starting Efe, playing 1 up top at home, and it was Stokes again who can't play up top on his own, we all know this yet our manager can't see it. Taken Kayal off at Half time, and his other subs as well, mind blowing.

100% his tactics and formation that cost us the other night.

 

I'm pretty sure Liewell has said in the past that we don't budget for Champions League income. So I have doubts that what you've said there is true.

 

Maybe if he chose to say it at ANY point before the Maribor defeat he would be taken more seriously.

It gives him an easy validation when maybe the truth is not as palatable.

Lennon himself said maybe investment was a part of it which suggested there are other reasons at heart. Doesn't EVERY manager want more investment. Hardly groundbreaking.

To jump on after he defeat and say "oh aye, that's the reason I left - I knew it might not work out" is a very convenient wee get out card.

 

The problem is all these ex * celtic people are coming out and talking crap about the club when we are down and hurting.
Its not what they are saying but their choice of timing.
Lets not forget they walked out on the club and could at least keep their mouths shut while our new manager finds his feet and does not need another kick in the balls at this time.


The manager needs our backing and some time, not story's full of this * in the papers.

 

It's not crap though is it bud, it's the truth and the truth hurts.

Can you really blame them for leaving? Cause I can't! I'm glad that he has said what we all thought and now we all know. Thing is Ronny wanted to take a big step up and now he is feeling the effects of failing.

Let's see how he handles it and the next 12 months will show if he is up for the job.

 

When exactly would be an ideal time for Johan Mjallby to make these comments then?

Before Ronny Deila had even managed a game?
When we were still in the middle of trying to qualify?
When we're in the Group stage?
On the day we win the title?

When??

If Mjallby had said this in pre-season he'd have been called a * for undermining the new guy before he'd even started. If he'd said it while we were still in the middle of trying to qualify he'd have probably got the blame when we got knocked out. If he'd said it once we were in the Group stage or at some point later in the season(when we'll presumably be top of the league and doing well) he'd have had all the usual *, *, bitter * accusations thrown at him for being negative when the team was doing well.

I don't give a * when Mjallby made these comments, I'm just glad he has. It's shed some light on a few things and at the moment I, and many other Celtic fans, are looking for some answers as to why we are in the mess we're in.

 

100% agree! some people can't handle the truth.

P.S I expect someone with a picture quoting what I've just said above :icon_mrgreen:
