Our next manager, who should it be

Some of you people are living in cloud cuckoo land.

The board will install a puppet to further their agenda. Therefore, some of yous need to be careful what you wish for. Probably Owen Coyle or Jackie Mac.

Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup

 

Carlton Cole, may as well get some use out him if we're paying him.

 

If that's true it makes you wonder was collins and kennedy forced on ronny.

If that's the case he needs a chance with his own staff in place for the rest of the season.

 

Well Blackett, Ambrose and Boyata are useless anyway

 

It'll probably be a 'Celtic man' this time.

 

I totally agree in principle but I can see that self preservation is most important to them so on those grounds I cant see how they could hire another spineless yes man jelly fish. Surely to keep us off their backs they will bring in a proper manager?

 

Don't think that should matter stein, o'neill and Strachan weren't Celtic men but where successful

 

From that list

Montella or jol

 

I would take Brendan Rodgers only manager available better than Ronny

 

Yeah, with massive backing from the board. People forget how much we spent on players back then, more than in our entire club history.

 

Again, agree regards the sentiment about the board. They are the underlying issue for almost all of our problems, and downsizing for the past 10-12 years now.
But even at that, the current manager and crop of players should just be good enough to get through this group. And on match days - regardless of the calibre of player we now have - we are let down by tactics, specially defensive ones. For the short term, the manager needs replaced. But agree that long term, it will end up just another manager of the same * as the last three. Inevitably yes men who get forced a standard of player on to them, restrictions galore and no hope in * of investment in a team. They will be expected to out perform and squeak through. Never given the resources to do a proper job.

 

With o'neill at the helm yes agree with you

 

Yes but he wasn't a Celtic man in the supporter sense

 

Anyone with a backbone who'll fight and convince the board that we need to spend if we want to make the CL and the £15m-£20m that comes with it. Ronny doesn't seem like that kind of guy to me. No offence to teams like Legia Warsaw, Maribor and Malmo but they're average at best and spending £8m-£10m on a decent striker and a couple of defenders would have seen us sweep them aside and we'd have earned £30m-£40m between last season and this season.

 

We would never spend that sort of money seen that argument on here for years now! A £8m players becomes a £16m player by time wages are added on so that's out the window

 

And even after that. Stachan was initially successful with all of the players from that era. Cuts were on the horizon, but he sure made an impact with O'Neills players first. Then Strachan had the time to build the team around his own footballing ideas and tactics. And he still spent a considerable amount, way more than what we are spending now on players, I am sure of that. The wage bill was just not what it was under O'Neill's leadership. We had competitive Champions League quality players back then. You can't say that today. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

 

forget all the big name managers coming to celtic as this board think cheap and we will end up with stubbs or jackie mac . i think things need to change in the board as well and think desmond should step aside and take lawell with him and some celtic people come in and put some investment into the team .

 

Lucien Favre would be my dream manager

 

Think he meant 8-10 collectively.
Not that a 8million player automatically dictates 45k a week.
Most of the times it could, specially coming from established leagues of that value.
But for talking sake (and not going to get in to the discussion about how this player has fared since) finnbogason would have cost us 5.5million at approx 25k a week. That's the sort of values I think we should be spending on our strikers. Then spend 3.5 on someone like jozo, and another million or two on an experience head - like we tried with Dan majstorovic. That's ten million we could spend that would arguably have seen us in to the group stage of cl with a better squad. And this year would have banked near 30million.



Not meaning for the aforementioned players exactly, but the general idea of that value and seeking out that standard of player. It all comes with risks, but so does the current model that is proving not good enough for us.
