antrin Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wow! though in fitba, mibbe no “wow”... it seemed inevitable. I think he might have gone earlier but they let him paddle on, up shit creek, until they could find someone “worthy” to pacify the punters. I wonder who they’ve found...? A Jock Stein look-alike?

bazil85 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 One of the biggest car crashes in managerial exit history. Why he was not gone sooner than this, why they thought for one second a manager like Neil Lennon deserved the time to turnaround the poor season, why it has panned out like this now. I genuinely think most would struggle to pen a worse handling scenario by Celtic on this. Always one of my guilty pleasures in Scottish football, when one of the Glasgow tourists go through such a spell. Only downside is it almost never happens to both at the same time.

Proof, if it was needed that you never read posts apart from your own. See my suggestion in the post directly above yours for why he was "not gone sooner".

antrin Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Kennedy is not legend enough to be acceptable to the support. You need charisma, footballing vision, charm, Cup and league success with Celtic and with other clubs... An acknowledged Celtic legend, in other words... Only one man fits that impressive bill - and he'll be playing hard to get - hence the delay in firing Lennon. Buddies... I give you: Alan Stubbs Edited February 24, 2021 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Maybe the reason he had left now, is he couldn't face the fact that the blue mob could win the league at Parkhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Going to interesting to see what option Sellick go for The Frank Lampard approach with his 10m salary or the Scot Brown approach that will cost them their league status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"big names" and all this. For me football has moved on a bit from these big name managers, I would much rather a young, modern game knowledgeable coach who is hungry and switched on to the mechanisms of the modern game with a strong backroom staff behind him than a big name now. (Regarding St Mirren Goody ticks this box for me) In saying that, I do see the benefit in a name attracting players. If I was Celtic I would 100% be trying to get someone like Lampard who ticks both the boxes IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Having both Lampard and Gerrard managing those two teams in Scotland at the same time would be absolute box office gold. I wonder if Doncaster and the others in charge of our game are capable of properly cashing in on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still simply sponsored bigotry and reaction. There would be no beneficent trickle-down to diddy clubs. Apart from pointing and laughing, I certainly won't change the habit of a lifetime and bother my arse about who manages either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would any of this alleged world-wide box-office gold ever be available to any Scottish Diddy Club or enhance the Scottish, non-twin-buttock fan's enjoyment of the season? Or even fitba fans in Bettles, Ulan Bator or Kathmandu? WGAF about a couple of has-been engerlish players managing in an obscure diddy league? You've been consuming too much tabloid keich.
