Weā€™ve got another one.[/QUOTE]
I blame paddypower

[QUOTE=ā€œRaymond Crotty, post: 950223, member: 25ā€]Not wanted:

  • Coyle
  • Collins
  • McNamara

Would like:

  • McCarthy
  • MacKay

Doesnā€™t fit in either group cause I donā€™t want to hurt his feelings:

  • Larsson[/QUOTE]
    Thoughts on Steve Clarke please @Raymond Crotty?

Iā€™m joining the Steve Clarke campaign.

As an aside, itā€™s a bit shit that our finances mean we now have to wait for the domino effect from other jobs like West Brom being filled before we see whoā€™s available for us.

That could be further complicated if yer man leaves Southampton for Spurs as Clarke, Moyes etc will all be in the frame for that job too.

In favour. Iā€™d hate to see Coyle get it

He would be a fantastic appointment.

[QUOTE=ā€œRocko, post: 950175, member: 1ā€]Agreed on Lennon. I was not convinced he was the right appointment. I thought the meek defeats to ICT away and a couple at Ibrox were very disappointing. But he bought time with the improvements in Europe and the campaign with the win over Barcelona was a great achievement.

But we shouldnā€™t just be replacing like with like. I think we have an opportunity here to build a bit of an identity. Le Guen was a laughable figure at the huns but he had no time to change their system and proved he couldnā€™t cope with the pressure. That seems to have scared Celtic, and the huns before they folded, from going for an overseas manager. But another Jansen would be great. Or a Dr Jo if we hired him now and he had an easier start to his career in Glasgow - they bring a style of football, an identity, a knowledge of the European game and an awful lot of experience with them. Iā€™d like to see us sounding out that type of figure but I think that Lawwell and Desmond will feel that type of character might be outside their control, and weā€™ll get someone with ā€œCeltic DNAā€ to come in.

In short, Iā€™d rather someone not at all familiar with the league than someone who has that as one of their selling points. I expect us to win the next league anyway and by next summer the new manager will have as much experience of the league as McNamara does now. If that new man doesnā€™t win the league now, then Iā€™d like to think we might change our manager again.

If it does need to be one of:
Clarke
Mackay
McNamara
Coyle
Lambert
Moyes
Larsson
or an equivalent

then I think Clarke has the best credentials, based on his experiences of working with different managers and his reputation as a coach - we have lost a couple of coaches too. I donā€™t think thereā€™s an awful lot between Clarke and Mackay. McNamara is nothing other than an unknown quantity, the same as Larsson. Moyes knows how to get results but his work in the transfer market doesnā€™t convince me. Lambert seems like a miserable fucker and Coyle is a joke figure.[/QUOTE]
Moyes could be answer alright. Heā€™d probably consider it as a similarly prestigious job as that of say Preston North End.

Roy Keane now a hot favourite according to the turf accountants.

really could see Celtic winning the league with Keane at the helmā€¦

If Queen is hired then I can no longer support Celtic.

+1

+1

Iā€™m flexible in my view here. Iā€™ll wait and see for a while.

Celtic is bigger than one man, however I will be disgusted and will not take in any trips to Celtic Park or anywhere else to see them in the flesh.

Confirmed by MON. Great appointment:clap:

Oā€™Neill has confirmed that Desmond has contacted Keane with regards to the vacancy

Iā€™m fully behind this move.

This move will make Celtc relevant for the first time since the last time Keane was with them. They will carry my full support for what looks like being a tricky SPL casmpaign next season

I should clarifyā€¦ Iā€™m supporting this move. I am not actually orchestrating it.

Celtic have just released a statement saying theyā€™re continuing to speak to a number of excellent candidates and nothing is decided.

It would be an excellent appointment by Celtic. :clap:
