Are you saying that the only options are an inexperienced manager and cheap players versus an experienced manager and expensive players? Not being a jerk, just trying to follow your reasoning here, because that's what I'm reading in your statement above.
I think there can be a happy medium where we can get good players at good prices -- Exhhibit A: Scott Bain, picked up for FREE -- as well as a manager -- like, oh I don't know, the one who is standing in right now -- for a good price. Good and potentially great players are out there, and they won't cost an arm and a leg, and the same can be said for managers as well.
Since Mourinho has other suitors, my guess is that the Celtic ploy is a ruse to raise his value with the others, and he'll probably go to either one of them (one is Roma and I forget which one the other is).

Cannot rule out Mourinho is a coach and his job before making expensive teams suited for EPL was to coach young players, we need to keep site of this he has won in UEFA tournaments with teams he built from a mixture of experience and youth. Celtic is without riches the best name in Europe and has a prestige that Chelsea and Man City could only dream of, think about it. The diamond in the rough waiting to sparkle, dont think Cesars tributes and the names associated in the tributes go unnoticed, i will keep my council on Celtic, we are gearing up for two massive seasons and a big hitter at the wheel who is media attention not in Scotland will be ideal to swat away the shite up here should anyone attempt to put barriers in our way .

Get your points icaferio. Good points too but by my reckoning we will start to downgrade somewhat. Brendan cost the board more money than they themselves realised. IMHO the board will want to recoup that money in anyway they can. Give Lennon the job then their money is safe. I would like to see the board aim higher really invest for a manager and team to match. Its to Europe I look to and to make progress to at least qfs. I know its a huge ask somewhat gigantic, but I want to see us there challenging in Europe. I know you all think I'm daft thinking about huge success in Europe but with the right investment and players we can win the champions league. Look at Ajax, they have done great this far, Ajax
Now they are the same as us no great TV money have to live within their means like us, but a little more speculating to accumulate wouldn't go amiss. HH

Ally 9 and 10 in a row would buy two Josies the riches in this achievement is massive, no sponsor can brag of this history in football, name your price if this goes over the line. But hey, we all know we have been here before but is this not something different and lets not start doubting, wait and see we are champions and we have a legend to attend to on Wednesday so for now we are the news.Get your points icaferio.

We agree there, AllyBhoy, and you're not daft (unless we both are, which is entirely possible . . .
). But I think we can do it within our budget with some smart choices. OK, a LOT of smart choices, but still.It's a discussion that should probably play out over the next few months. But for the sake of this particular thread, I think we have the manager we need in Lenny. You may disagree, but we'll see what the future holds.
