Ok here is my two pence worth
Always said that a manger should not be cutting it at a club our size with the demands that go with it (remember the throwing the baby out with the bath water for losing some dead rubber cups) so this rules out, Brown, Kennedy etc
The manger we have been linked with are all good. We should be going for the best possible candidate (we are in a very good place, squad and cash wise).
Ange failed in Europe like a lot have done, this for me rules out Brendon Rogers (who is a fantastic manager).
Potter, he didn't handle the pressure at Chelsea he won't up here too.
Moyes, win percentage isn't great but he's a top manager. Hopefully he wins a European trophy. I would snap anyone's hands off to win one in my lifetime. I think he would be super loyal.good Scottish managers are hard to find, however when they're good they're very good. Would welcome Moyes.
Kjetil Knutsen, is a super interesting prospect. His win % is very good and has done wonders at Bobo. A small Norweigan club is very different to Scotland's biggest, ask Ronny (who I liked a lot). I would be pleased with him, but the Celtic family would really have to get behind him.
The question is, what do we want our manger to win? the treble or win in Europe? Personally don't think both can be done. Ange and Brenden did trebles and walked away as it's not enough for the super ambitious.
If we want trebles then, get a loyal manger in like Lennon (who I liked for all his faults and bad luck) and use Europe as a bonus.
If we want Europe then get Moyes or Knutsen and say sacrifice the cups if you need too (play the youth and reserves). Win the league and progress in Europe.
I think tonight (10pm in Melbourne) I'm having a self reflection on what we demand.
I demand more, more European success more League wins. The rest is a bonus.
Ange came under struteny in Europe his open inviting play got quickly found out. Chances made with Kyogo missing. Everyone asked if he would tweak it to be more solid. Nah mate!
Imagine either Moyes or Knutsen with Ange's team in Europe next season. Watch out. They say Ange's teams peak in their 2-3 year.....maybe we have 1 more to go. His team but with a new more tactically aware manager.
Hey we are Champions H H
