Its not his team and the season has long been since written off, so pressure is off and manager has nothing to lose. Let him analyse the players and see what bounce he can get, huns aren’t anything special, we should have beaten them the last two games. Two chances now to beat them, lets get this show on the road and can reassess then by the Summer
I would assume to give him time to get things in order in the background. There will be probably be at least 7/8 players there now not going to be involved next season.
I actually thought the team looked quite hungry and eager to impress on Saturday with the news in light.
Conflicting interests really I guess. Does he try and impress this season or just ignore it and play guys who will be here next year? Does he lose support if we end the season badly even though we’ve been poor all year? If the huns beat us twice is he undermined? I don’t see us being as patient with Howe as the huns were with Gerrard.
Here’s a major problem. The next manager has to be given time. Obviously he needs to get the team performance headed in the right direction, but it looks like it’s major surgery rather than a nip and tuck that’s needed.
Bit of both for me @Rocko . He’ll have to use some players this year anyway and can take a look/ decide on others. Just to clarify I don’t mean a manager should be hired for the sake of it now, but if its been decided upon already on say Howe, I think given he’s available now we should get him in and have a crack at it now. As opposed to learning the ropes in the European qualifiers
My view is that if Howe is the man then get him in straight away. I know this season has been a shit show but I think he should have enough about him to get to work and generate improvement quickly. I don’t like the idea that he needs protecting and we should be overly concerned about early setbacks because of the situation he’d be coming into. It seems a bit fearful. A good Celtic manager should fear no cunts.
