    Reheated pizza though?

    Not as good as fresh pizza, but still better than no pizza.

    Moyes/Rodgers = fresh pizza
    Lennon = reheated pizza
    Deila = no pizza

    I wouldn't give Lennon another pizza the action at Celtic. He has already had one bite at it. We need a new manager and give him the dough.

    What if Wanyama, or Forster, or Van Dijk had flopped at Southampton and they were willing to come back to Celtic? Would you have them?

    Anyway, I'm off to get pizza.

    The reason people don't want Lennon back seems to be based on the idea that it simply lacks excitment - that he's been here already and is a proven quantity. I can understand that, it might not be as exciting as a Beilsa or even the unknown quantity of another 'Deila-like' appointment.

    Looking at it without that emotional side though, if he could replicate his individual performance in his first term it would be a tremendous appointment.

    It's not the same with players as with managers, if you're trying to compare the two

    Lenny, Moyes or Rodgers I'm delighted.

    Anyone else I'll just approach with hope. One thing though, if it is Roy Keane, his background staff is absolutely key. He needs somebody go bounce off of, need a balance and most of all, it needs to be somebody he knows and trusts.

    ... quite a hard find that.

    Don't think Ronny has quite the same force of personality to counter balance it.

    Cl last 16 aside, lennon's cup record was very poor and the the 13/14 champions league campaign was dreadful.

    "I want my players to go to war every time they go on the pitch."

    If he comes back, I hope he comes back with the same passion and desire as he did first time. I also hope he doesn't become victimised by opposition supporters again, although that would probably be inevitable.

    Lennon & Keane combo for me. Tremendous pairing with Neil Francis as No.1

    When have you ever seen Neil not be passionate about us? It was said when he moved from a player to a coach, a coach to a reserve coach and a reserve coach to a manager... Lenny will always have that passion for us. A two year break won't change that.

    I don't mean passion for the club, he'll always have that. I mean the self-motivation to be our manager again. I believe there is a distinct difference between the two.

    Aye that's true.

    Read today that Deila was a Lawwell pick, and Desmond is taking charge over the next pick - who could that be? Someone who he wanted in the first place? Someone known to him? Someone who is out of contract in the summer and wouldn't require paying compensation for?

    If I were the gaffer of a business, and could get someone I highly wanted in for nowt - I'd do it, so I'm gonna pop in the bookies on the way home and stick a score on Keane.

    Watching that video above shows what we are lacking. The fire & passion has disappeared from our club. We need it back

    I really hope the board don't go for Lenny straight off the bat. Don't really want him back. If we go for Moyes, Rodgers, Laudrup etc and they knock us back then fine, he's at least a safe choice.
