    I hope you are right, but I have my reservations! All the above goes against everything I have ever known of Celtic, maybe the penny has finally dropped.

    Lawwell has been there 17 years, been there way too long. With him leaving maybe there’ll be some proper change.

    Personally and I'm sure most probably won't agree but I think it's embarrassing playing to the crowd like we saw from Rangers when they weren't good enough to challenge us.

    Sort the club out on the pitch and in the dugout and do your talking there

    What do you mean exactly, Rory? Can you expand a bit there.

    In my opinion the problem with Celtic is they didn't take advantage of their position in recent years to push on and become a regular CL club.

    I agree 100% that we didn't take advantage of our position when we had the chance and that's my point, for the club now to be taking pot shots at Rangers after being embarrassed all season is petty imo.

    If the club had done their job we would be at a minimum still in the race for the league not throwing out petty tweets.

    A factually accurate statement and one I fully support. However Lawwell was complicit in the 5 way agreement and Celtic's boards failure to hold the SFA to account is a major factor in putting us in the situation we find today with a new club playing out of Ibrox behaving in the same manner financially as the previous one did until it went bankrupt. Lawwell and the Celtic board if they actually behaved like that statement would have held the SFA to account and made sure what is happing now could not have happened again.

    How is it taking pot shots at Rangers. It’s factually correct and the club are right to disassociate from them.

    The problem at Celtic and with Lawwell in particular was this “Old Firm” thing. Lawwell saw the “Old Firm” as a safer revenue stream than chasing CL money. When Rangers died and were reformed coming back up the leagues in Scotland he was moaning about their absence saying it was a financial hit for Celtic when they weren’t around, he should have been focusing on Europe for Celtic’s revenue streams and ambitions. He can’t be gone quick enough as Celtic CEO for me.

    It's a pot shot because it comes on the back of us giving up the league without laying a glove on them not 9 years ago when it mattered.

    I don't believe for 1 second this is us trying to disassociate ourselves from them, it's a PR stunt aimed at getting season ticket money

    Completely agree. The club were silent on this when it mattered. They're just trying to win back some disgruntled fans with this.

    I don’t disagree on your views on the clubs motives behind the statement. The statement in itself is what should be the case, it would be better if the club actually acted on it.

    We got hammered by the Scottish Government for Covid related issues. The other lot got away lightly for similar misdemeanours.

    Celtic an easier target perhaps. Our fans maybe broke regulations perhaps demonstrating against the clubs inaction re poor results. They didn’t cause thousands of pounds of damage in George’s Square or attack public property. Too easy and glib for these politicians to paint us all with the same brush. We are not half of anything and the anachronistic “Old Firm” needs to be dispensed with.

    Is the general consensus a no for Roy Keane? Maybe it's just desperation taking over since there's been no movement on anyone, but I'm starting to think he may be a good fit.

    Wasn't Ronny Deila supposed to be Keanes assistant originally, deal fell through and Deila got the managers job then?

    Registered Users Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭RoryMac


    Keane would be a definite no from me, hasn't managed in 10 years and even then wasn't great at Ipswich.

    We need a modern manager that can improve the players we have and the ones we pick up cheap. The only success he had as a manager was with Sunderland and even then it was off the back of signing about 30 players.

    A step down on Lennon for me

    Yep. He was offered the job back then but after a chat with Lawwell he turned it down. Maybe he’ll take it this time if offered it again with Lawwell away at seasons end.

    Roy Keane would not be my first choice but as a poster above said it might be a good fit right now? Depends on what the other options are.

    As Rory says it would be great to see a new direction and strong strategy from the club. Not sure that direction is there at the club. Lawwell stayed way too long and is still hanging around. Someone like Keane could come in and get a short term lift out of the players. He or someone like him should have been put in there in November to try and get back into this season’s title race.

    Yeah the choice of manager will show the direction the club is moving. I hope they'll see this as an opportunity to put in place a coaching structure to develop players coming through the youth system or young talent we pick up but worry the board may see Keane as ticking a few boxes Irish, Celtic man etc

    We have a very young squad with only Brown & Griffiths as it stands likely to be here next season and over 30. I really think we need a manager/coach that can build their confidence and help them develop them to their potential

    I'm not sure about Keane. There is a chance he could fire the players up and get something out of them for a while but I just think he's too hot headed to fit with modern day management and that it wouldn't end well.

    They've had an excellent season unfortunately but for me the jury is still out on Gerrard, he's had a season with no pressure on him running away with the league due to our poor performances.

    This time last year he looked almost certain to be sacked so it'll be interesting to see how he does next year.

    I think their performances in Europe havent been given the credit it deserves, he has clearly improved them massively.

    On the Keane rumours I can't even come close to expressing my opposition to the idea without falling foul of the moderators so I'll simply say - NO THANKS!

    No doubt he has improved them and I think they'll have a very good shot at making the group stage of the CL through the champions route, can't see them getting thumped by smaller teams like we have.

    Just think in the league it would've be interesting to see how they would've coped if we had been able to put a bit of pressure on them but TBF it's no easy task to go this far unbeaten especially in such a crucial season

    Football fans are funny. Completely write off Rangers success because They hAd No cOmPeTiOn yet insist Celtics 9 in a row, quadruple treble invincible season is legit even with no real competition for 9 years.

    Not aimed at anyone on here just Internet in general.

    If they win this league without losing a game it'd be a bigger achievement than our invincible season given where they have come from. Conceded half the goals we did too. Plus they are having some success in Europe. It will take a hell of effort to stop them next year too. I've zero confidence in celtic for the next season or two regardless of what manager comes in

    Wrong thread for this I know, but it's an interesting read related to what you are talking about and is a lot of what's missing at Celtic:
    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56298826

    I think we lost a really big part of our playing style when Damien Duff left.

    Next year is absolutely critical for both sides with the winners of the league all but confirmed to have an automatic place in the CL group stages, if we lose the league next season the prize & tv money they receive will wipe out any financial advantage we may have had.

    Would love to see Damian Duff back as part of the new coaching set up for next season. It was a big blow I think when he left for the Ireland job last summer.

    RB Salzburg manager looks to be interested in the job, seems to have a very good record. Some suggestions he might be using us to force an offer from a German side but this is the kind of level we should be looking

    Whether that rumour is true in terms of Marsch or his agent using us he is not in contention for the new coaching job.

    He probably isn't but he's the type we should be looking at, a coach that has worked with a club with a smaller budget than us and consistently won a league that would be similar strength to ours and consistently performed in Europe.

    Who do you believe is in contention?

    To this point 4 people have been interviewed for the job and one has expressed an interest via his agent but is not in contention as far as I know. Jesse Marsch is not one of those 4 interviewed therefore as far as I know he is not in contention either.

    I agree he is a very interesting and innovative manager. I remember him well from my time with him when his was doing his A license originally and he is a very personable person as well.

    In terms of your other question I am under the understanding the job is there for one person already if he wants it but there are backup options. Whether anybody else like a Marsch could come into play now or in the coming days that I do not know. But as of today Marsch is not in contention and the job is there for one person if he wants it. I would rather not name names as Celtic lets just say are not happy about the leaks that got out about Lennon's resignation.
