Well don’t make smart arse comments to me about football snobbery likened of followers of the fake English league. I made my opinion that Ronny wasn’t good enough and failed to delevier on what he said he would. Talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk and Celtic regressed and he is partly to blame and that’s my opinion. Your the one making sly digs fella.
I'm not making sly digs. Anyone who ridicules Celtic for whatever reason, if I think it is unwarranted I will point it out to them. I listen to the same sort of rhetoric on a daily basis from fellow Irish men supporting English teams for no reason or connection to them. That to me is football snobbery and it sickens me. Ok, you didn't like Ronnie, that's your opinion, but you have to admit he was thrown in at the deep end and did OK.
Congeeton needs to pull some top quality hidden gems out of his hat for this window or he should be given the boot and someone new should be brought in, don’t believe that man should be Ronny though.
perfect summation D HH
I wouldn’t say thrown, but jumped at his own risk into the deep end. What I will say is he did well to keep the 10iar alive especially with some of the dire football he had the team playing. Likeable guy and at least he walks away with a bit of success in terms of 3 trophy’s,but not successful football that he himself said he would give us.
A lot of the football played at the beginning was unusual then we really clicked for a while. After that i firmly believe dressing rooms personalities overwhelmed him which took us back the way not the philosphy he tried to install. Was he a first team coach. On thw evidence too much too soon but also did the personalities get the impression he was the cheap option and therefor less worthy if respect.
Fair assessment of how the two seasons went for him, I think the players lost belief in him after not qualifying for the CL at the start of his 2nd season. Loved Commons as a player but how he reacted that time when subbed in EL game was disgraceful from an experienced player. Was the wrong decision to sub him I felt, so maybe it was one to many for Commons and him exploding was how many of the players were feeling about his poor coaching and tactics.
That's the question I would like answered, why did John Park and other scouts leave a successful team?
excellent question Saul
Fair point. Remember the griffiths strop when BR subbed him. Rodgers immediate reaction and leigh immediate apology the following morning. Thats the difference in managers right there
Was around the time of BR coming in so might be to do with him wanting a change up across the scouting system. Good question indeed ?
Big PL’s son has a high up postion in Man City’s scouting system. That’s why we seem to get success from the young loanees from Man City as he has the inside track on the best on offer for us.
Not to sure that would be RD forte, besides both guys are their own men. However, I do think it's time for a proven goalscorer to be bought(not cheap i know) we have enough "projects" on the go as it is. Surely.
Sorry, have to disagree. Nobody (well .. Maybe Lou Macari) was as bad as John Barnes. Hell i would take brother Pedro first. Ronnie was never that bad.
Ronnies time here is still fresh in the memory for me. That’s why I’m most likely struggling more than most to remember anything really good under him. I remember just spending heaps of cash traveling to watch the same formation and tactics week in week out. Teams worked it out but he never changed it, evident in how poorly the 2nd season went for him. Like I say he did well to keep the 10iar dream alive with the dire football on display. Nice bloke but just nowhere near good enough.
