Strachan Gone apparently

Celtic Quick News are reporting that Strachan has resigned. They do get these things right usually.

Please let it be true…

I’d thank him for his efforts and we’ve had some memorable games under his tenure but it’s the right time for a change. We’ve regressed this season - results weren’t nearly good enough and the standard of football deteriorated too.

confirmed by BBC

thanks for 3 in a row WGS

Burnley are one up.

end of an era as gordon strachan leaves celtic

Paul Cuddihy
CELTIC Football Club today announced that Gordon Strachan has decided to stand down from his position as Football Manager.

The Celtic boss, who won six trophies in four years – three league titles, one Scottish Cup and two League Cups – and steered the club to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in two consecutive seasons, said today: “I have enjoyed my time immensely at Celtic and clearly I will be sad to leave this great club.

“As I have said before, Celtic is a special club, with special supporters. There is no club like it and it has been an absolute honour and privilege to be the club’s Manager for the past four years.

“We have done all we can to bring success to the Club and we were delighted to deliver three SPL titles, other domestic silverware, as well as making some great progress in Europe.

“It is just disappointing that we did not manage the fourth Championship. However, the players can hold their heads high in terms of what they have done for the club in recent years.

"I would like to thank the Celtic Board for all the support they have given me during the past four years, in particular Dermot Desmond, John Reid, Peter Lawwell and former Chairman Brian Quinn - I could not have asked for any more support.

“I thank all the players I have worked with at the club and, of course, my backroom team for the backing and assistance which they have given me.

“I thank the fans too for the tremendous support which they have given both myself and the players. I wish Celtic and our supporters nothing but success for the future.”

Dermot Desmond, the Club’s principal shareholder, said: “Gordon Strachan has done a remarkable job for Celtic over the last four years, winning trophies every year.

“More importantly, he has given 110% commitment to Celtic Football Club and his integrity and talent are exemplary. Gordon leaves Celtic a better club both on and off the balance sheet.

“Personally, I am extremely grateful for his contribution to the development of this great club.We will endeavour to find a replacement to continue Gordon’s good work.”

Celtic Chairman John Reid commented: "Gordon Strachan has served Celtic Football Club with distinction, demonstrating great character, determination and professionalism in his role and ensuring tremendous success for the club.

“He is a man who I personally will always hold in high regard and someone whose record for the club speaks for itself. I would like to wish Gordon, Lesley and their family all the very best for the future.

“We will now aim to appoint our new Football Manager as soon as possible.Our aim is to regain the Championship which we have dominated in recent years and restore our pre-eminent place in Scottish football.

“This is nothing less than our supporters deserve and I would like to thank our supporters and our players for the commitment they have shown during the course of the season."

Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "Gordon has given everything to the club and worked tirelessly to bring success to Celtic. He has achieved so much at both domestic and European levels.

“It has been a pleasure to work closely with Gordon and he leaves the club with all our best wishes. We thank Gordon for his commitment and achievements at the club and we also thank our fans for backing us all the way this season.

"Our fans know how to support their club and we will be doing all we can to once again bring back the title to Celtic Park, something which our support deserves.”

Apart from Moyes of course!

So who is line for this now?

Coyle O evens , Irvine A 20/1 , Calderwood J 50/1,
Mowbray T 5/1 , Collins J 20/1 , Hughes J 50/1 ,
McGhee M 12/1 , Lennon N 20/1 , Larsson H 50/1 ,
Levein C 12/1 , Smuda F 25/1 , Reid B 50/1 ,
Keane R 16/1 , Moyes D 33/1 , O’Neill M 50/1 ,
Curbishley A 16/1, O’Leary D 40/1 , Aitken R 50/1 ,
Lambert P 20/1 , Grant P 40/1 , Dalglish K 66/1 ,
McCarthy M 20/1 , Martinez R 50/1 , Barnes J 125/1

Who is the most likely/realistic target from that?

If Burnley get promoted I can’t see Coyle leaving.

Roy Keane 16/1!!

So who is line for this now?

Coyle looks like hes going up with Burnley, United down to 10 men.

Do you know what it would be typical of Keane to do something like that.

Controversial til the last.

Mowbray or Collins will be favourite I’d say.

Curbishley WTF??
