The Ronny Deila Thread

cannot believe he's quit

 

a good striker and the current crop a good kick up the * a few others in . A decent run in SPL and EL and all of this will be forgotten .

 

I'm 100% behind him and his back room staff. It takes time for things to turn around. We were lucky last year to qualify. I don't see why anyone could be shocked this year. The board need to back him now.

I believe in Ronny.

 

I back him

Would've only wanted 1 change from his starting 11 the other night

Will judge him next season

Lennon an most other of our managers have nneeded a year to get their own team an ideas working

Believe in the Ron

 

100% behind Ronny Deila.

 

Trust is earned.

 

Look at his first season in Godset. There wasn't much success there either. Give him time and good things will happen.

 

I wouldn't put my absolute trust in Ronny, after all he's done nothing to earn it yet.

But, by the same token, of course he'll receive my backing.

People are losing their * minds over something that isn't even alien to us. Sion anyone? Utrecht, Bratislava? Braga? Basel?

Pick holes in them all you want but getting beaten in European games that people expect us to win is not exactly new here for any Celtic manager.

Yet Diela is expected to rock up to CP, spend lots of cash on new players which will of course magically integrate themselves into a brand new team and system and propel us into the champions league proper? Come on. Seriously?

As a matter of fact Celtic tend to qualify for the CL 50% of the time since the year 2000, but again we are expected to now make that three years on the bounce and, if we don't, people go absolutely * nuts?

We all like to dream but if you dare to add even a splash of realism, you will notice that the situation is normal for us. It's not like we are hugely progressing backwards.

Football has ups and down - of course this is a down but do we now expect only the ups and * everyone else if we have the temerity to take a hit now and again?

Throw in Deila, throw in the new players, throw in the new system, throw in some good players leaving and it's clear enough there was the potential to slip backwards a bit.

This new age of demanding everything right now OR BRING ME SOMEBODY'S HEAD ON A * PLATE, does no-one any favours.

This isn't about "happy clapping" or "keeping the faith" it's about a pragmatic understanding of what being a football supporter is about. People are right to be angry at this result, as they were about Sion, Braga etc etc, but they must also realise it is what it is.

A football match against the champions of another country that we lost.

Hopefully Ronny is the man that can finally implement some forward thinking strategy which can pull us nearer the European benchmark. MON did, but he was backed by money which we couldn't sustain. Neil did, but we were the scrappers who had the least possession of any CL team and took advantage of our chances.

Both of these strategies aren't long term and viable. We need to play well and DESERVE to be there. We need to compete so that, at the end of a CL win, it's not always after being pummeled but grabbing a late winner due to the crowd galavanising us yet again.

Can Ronny do this? I for one don't know but, until he proves one way or another, we should stand behind him and the team.

 

So we bring in a puppet, he turns us into the laughing stock of euro football!!! I back him too.... Aye right

 

Good post mate.. Don't forget Strachans CL exploits in some ways eclipses MON and NL

 

He should be given time to form his own style with his own team but I dont trust him due to his lack of tactics in his opening games.

If Lennon had stayed with the same players I think he'd have knocked out Legia and Maribor.

 

I can't say I back him 100%, I like a lot of the changes ehe's trying to inplement, health and fitness wise. Some of the football has been very promising. Where he has fell down though has been on his own tacitical changes and personnell. A lot of his changes have been baffling.

Matthews at left back and Izzy on the bench
Lustig at centre back and Ambrose at right back with denayer on the bench
2 in midfield away from home in Europe
Johansen on the wing
Berget in when he'd only been here 24 hours

Sitting back at 1-1 at Parkhead

It's a lot of decisions with no logic behind it. If he improves on his tactical decisions I think we have a good manager on our hands but the exits (plural) from the qualifiers have been on his own head, his decisions, not down to the players at his disposal in my opinion.

I've gave him (in my head) the Europa League to fully improve himself, there must be vast improvement.

 

What is annoying me though mate, is that the board didn't do everything in their power to make sure we qualified this year. Since Deila has come in, we have seen one of our most important players in Fraser Forster leave, and another regular player in Europe for us in Samaras left prior to Ronny's arrival.

We haven't spent a single penny on a player as yet, and we are almost at the end of the transfer window. We have been screaming out for a striker for over a year now, and still don't have a suitable player for the job in my opinion. The board played with fire last year going into the qualifiers, and we managed to scrape through. They tried the same this year, and it has backfired massively. The current team didn't need much investment to make it through to the Group Stages again, but instead, the board tried to pull the wool over our eyes, by bringing in a few players on loan.

 

I won't judge him until he's built his own team. He's trying to get us to play a new system, and it's going to take a while to get the team playing it properly.

I don't think the problem has been Ronny's tactics; I think the problem is that Lennon's players are utterly incompetent. As soon as they're asked to do anything other than play sideways passes they get confused and can't understand what's happening.

So, I'll be holding off judgement until Ronny has the players he wants for his system.

 

This^^^^

Growing up in the eighties my first European Night was beating Real Madrid 2-0 and my second was beating Juve 1-0. Tough act to follow!!

That said, we went out of Europe to such luminaries as Politeknica Timosoara (the Romanian equivalent of Cardonald College!!), Real Sociedad, and Rapid Vienna.

We faced some right good teams who put us out too (Forest, Athlitico, Dinamo Kiev, Dortmund and Werder.)

If we expect to beat the Rapid Viennas and Real Sociedads, we need to make progress and RD clearly has a plan to do that. No manager has had a plan (I mean a real plan) since O'Neil, and we could not afford that way of doing things.

If we want to be on a par with Dortmund, Athletico and the likes, it will take a few years if it happens at all.

The most depressing thing we could do right now would be what Deadco did with Le Guen. If we bin RD and go for a "Celtic-minded" ("Coz he knows what we're aw aboot, nat.") manager once again, I'll find that utterly depressing.

That for me would be the sure sign Lawwell has no ambition. (Taking time over spending millions of pounds on new players is not lack of ambition, it is normal prudence. Anyone who runs their own business on here would do the same.)

 

Why should we trust him? After Legia he already got his second chance, but...
We need real manager.

 

Lennon rated him enough to consider him as number two.

The guy has taken the Norwegian Hamilton Accies to the title.

Someone gives an intelligent, inventive young manager a chance. Believes in him and supports him. That is how they become great managers.

Mourinho didn't win the League in his first season at Porto. Van Gaal is clearly having teething problems at Man United. To expect a seamless transition is naive and unrealistic.

 

Wasn't only the manager who got handed a second chance. Everyone at the club failed miserably.

 

Totally Agree
