Get it announced when the monkeys win the league ,might take the shine off it a wee bit!Needs to be someone with a bit of pedigree........but i think Kennedys a stick on only kiddin
Well Kennedy is a name. See Broony is talking him up big time. Wonder what the new manager’s name will be then?Desmond better get the manager appointment right. If it aint a NAME our club will suffer badly financialy due to lack of season ticket renewals etc. Some families for example presently have four season ticket holders to watch one tv. Families have come under pressure financialy due to covid. Player values have dropped. Rebuilding is gonna cost BIG money.
They'll be plenty of season tickets available if that happens.I honestly wouldnt put it past them but i cany see itWell Kennedy is a name. See Broony is talking him up big time. Wonder what the new manager’s name will be then?
I wouldn't be against either but think Howe is ideal for us ☘I would prefer to wait for Dan Petrescu than appoint the likes of MON, Keane (FFS), Clarke, Oneil, even Howe.
Most of the names mentioned hopefully could do a good job for us, but I think it’s critical we get them in NOW, so he can work with the squad, evaluate them, see who’s staying, get some forward planning don’t so we can hit the ground running next season....
I’m with you guys BB & Shadow. Kennedy should only be in charge until the new man comes in. If that’s next week then so be it...tough John.
The more time our new guy has to familiarize himself with the players, budgets, facilities, etc the better. Why do we have to wait till the end of the season for the new man if he will come now?
The reason to delay better not be because they’re fkn considering Kennedy.
As usual our board will drag their feet and claim they don't want to rush a decision. However they gave the job to Lennon without due diligence. A shower of assholes.Couldn't agree more BB......those extra few months with the new manager in place could make all the difference when it comes to CL qualification, keeping hold of our best players, getting the players we need in before the Euros makes things much harder and more expensive as well as getting some of the younger players who are maybe ready to make the step up up to speed.
Sooner the better imo.
Rangnick is an absolute stand out candidate for me, his achievements are incredible, fuck knows why he's not been snapped up a top club. The only stumbling block is our board would have to hand over total control of the football operation to him, well worth a go in my opinion.While quite a few of the candidates mentioned so far have their merits and would likely be successful Celtic managers none of them come close to what this guy could bring imo......
His overall philosophy on how he wants his teams to play, his methodical approach to tactics, his flexibility as a coach in understanding how and when to deploy different formations, his focus on high quality coaching at all levels and his proven ability to not only spot talent but nurture young talent and sell them on for big profits without it having to big of an impact on how his teams perform is exactly what we need right now, imo he would be a perfect fit for us.
Not only does his overall outlook fit with our team's attack minded style but it also fits with the club's transfer policies and the constraints we operate under in the modern game.
For years Lawell and the Celtic board have squandered countless millions and lost out on tens of millions in CL revenue with a half-arsed version of what Ragnick has perfected......nurture/buy up young talent at low cost, sell them on for large profits, simultaneously keep a winning team on the pitch and make inroads in European competition......and for years they've fucked it up by cutting corners in the scouting, coaching and managerial appointments and the bulk buying of raw talent mixed with cheap mediocre players in the hope one or two come good instead of doing what's actually required to make their policies work.
Well here's a guy who has proven he can make it work, he's available and he'd probably cost less than most of the top candidates mentioned......so aye we can go for a Howe, Martinez or Benitez and maybe get a good 2/3 years success out of them before we have to start all over again or we can go for this guy who, if he's allowed to do his job properly without interference from the top, could build the structures that keeps us on top for the next 5/10 years at least.
Going all out for Ragnick is a no brainer for me.
Ralf Rangenick. Absolute 1st choice. Nobody comes closeI wouldn't be against either but think Howe is ideal for us ☘

I wanna I wanna I wanna be BBAppointing Kennedy would be unforgivable for me BB (aw these BB's are getting confusing as fuck btw ) it would be a lazy and cheap appointment that would kill off any notion that the Celtic hierarchy still had ambition for this club.
Let him go cut his teeth as a manager elsewhere and earn the right to be considered for the position, the Celtic manager's job should never be a 'jobs for the bhoys' appointment.
