    Well done you ripped me. I have been wrong all along. How could I not spot the greatness of Deila and Collins? Fucksake just give it a rest. They are as bad as Mowbray. The apologists wont admit it but its true.

    The guy is in charge of the defence who looks like a pair of strangers sack him and bring back Johan

    Aye and leave the moron who decided to give a young coach with no experience this responsibility in charge. I dont think Kennedy should be hung out to dry but if he has got the Ronny stink on him he may be done as well

    Kennedy is the defensive coach, young or not he is not being successful at it and needs to be punted or go to more coaching sessions with more experienced people in that area, someone like George Graham would be ideal. Johan will not come back, if he did then i would hope it would be to replace John Collins, who i seriously dislike.

    Not strictly true. Ronny has had a bit of success while Mowbray won nothing apart from the Wembley cup.

    That said Ronny has had enough time.

    You are right, thats what the record books will show. Mowbrays team imploded in Feb/Mar under the pressure of competing for the title. Before his implosion he was a carbon copy of Ronny, some slick play at times but massive vulnerabilities. If TM took over our club at the time RD did he would be a title winning manager. Think about that.

    Our 2 centre backs are Boyata and Efe ffs, you expect a 32 year old coach like Kennedy to turn them into world beaters?

    Whilst you try and rip the pish out of people, you might want to look over this statement, in what universe did John Collins win a scottish cup as a manager?

    Hibs have not won that trophy in over 100 years chief and if John Collins was part of it he is looking great for his age

    Having thought it over, I cant help but feeling that it comes down to a lack of stability in the four. Good teams are built from the back, if we can get a stable CB pair like we did last year that would help us in all areas of the pitch. Simunovic's injury has been costly for us, he showed enough against Ajax that I think we'd be a better team with him back in.

    He backs Zonal Marking, in all my years of supporting Celtic I have never witnessed a worse defense than the current back four, No one takes responsibility for losing goals, no one actually marks the opponents most dangerous ariel threats.

    He is the Defensive Coach, the buck stops with him

    Have to agree with this. Zonal marking isn't working for us and our defence are that bad they have just made so many errors this season, lost so many goals. The worst defence I've ever seen at Celtic Park. A disgrace.

    I think Kennedy needs to go. Our defence is shocking positionally and that comes down to him. If our defence could defend set pieces we'd still be in the big cup.

    It's almost like he only has a job at Celtic out of sympathy for his playing career being ruined at such a young age.

    I think both Kennedy and Collins need to go, with Ronny bringing in his own choices. We don't need 'Celtic' men as part of the coaching staff, we have had them all through the years, it doesn't mean that they are any good.

    He's clearly not doing his job. Let's not forget that Ronny himself was a defender though (CB) and if it needs tweaking, he could and should be throwing his knowledge forward. That still doesn't excuse Kennedy in any way shape or form though, as if you need pointers on your main job at the club, you shouldn't be here..
