Personally I think ronnys a winner and we should enjoy him while it lasts because as we all kno " what has a begining has an end " so let's get on the ronny train hail hail just win the league the scottish cup can wait lol feelin good mon the hoops x

19 Mar 2015 23:36:26
The more he does well then there is a chance other clubs will take an interest in him therefore if this is the case the board should sign him on a long-term contract otherwise he could be off as a few top jobs in England could beckon in the next year or so: Manchester United and Man city as well as Arsenal and Europe too so I agree with the author let's ride the Ronny train for now and enjoy the ride.

Don't talk nonsense, none of the Super Epl teams will look sideways at even a winning manager in Scotland . The club's you mention regard Celtic as a piece of shoite they have stood on .
We used to have great fun talking about which of the top clubs would sign Hooper, Victotr or Forrester. Now people ramble on about Virgil .
If Deila wants to leave and go to England it will be a wee club like Villa or Stoke .
Signing him on a long time deal isn't necessary the way to keep him, but fan support, player support and good working relations with board would probably be more important. I don't think he will want a massive transfer war chest either .

20 Mar 2015 03:27:52
Chris you must have a seat on the board or something mate.

You seem to think you know better than the rest on here and that the only opinion that counts is yours, you would make a good politician that's for sure.

How would any big team not be interested in him he has improved every team he has ever worked with, while working with tight budget restraints all things that make a good manager/head coach.

20 Mar 2015 09:29:05
While I agree that a lot of top teams would like to have ronny I feel he loves it here. The passion of the fans is what it's all about and I can't see him going anywhere anytime soon

20 Mar 2015 10:41:52
No reason why other clubs wouldn't be monitoring him. Sure RD has already stated that players should think a bit before they jump ship. Just hope he practices what he preaches. NL said the same and has ended up at Bolton which is a very tough gig. RD can stay here and win silverware and I think, can take us on in the CL. He could well be the man to win ten in a row. Become a legend.

I think Ronny will have the same problem as Neil Lennon, in as much as he will build a decent team and then the best players will be sold.
Unfortunately Celtic don't have the financial clout to keep our top players for any length of time, so it depends on how long Ronny will be willing to see his teams be dismantled, before he loses patience.
I don't mean to sound negative, but that's the way Celtic's board operate, they are not going to change their policy, even if we did back to back trebles.
When Lennon was caretaker manager he said getting the job permanently was his lifetime dream, yet four years later he'd had enough.
I suspect Ronny will feel the same in a year or two.

20 Mar 2015 13:37:33
He had the same situation in Strømsgodset, if not even worse so I don't think him losing his best players would be an issue. He allways sold his best players in Godset but ended up with a better squad next season anyway. I don't think he will jump ship without securing its future, and it would take a huge deal for him to leave.

20 Mar 2015 18:21:34
Frewbhoy I am merely a Celtic fan and shareholder but I have my eyes open .
Lennon got Celtic to the last 16 beating Barcelona on the way, and it took him half a season to get to manage bottom place Championship team . MO 'N was a star manager in England despite a Scottish Treble, a final in the UEFA Cup, Martin's star didn't sign as brightly after leaving Celtic . Despite favourable reports from his media Friends in England, Martin couldn't do any better than bottom middle of the Epl.
Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to post my views .
Maybe we shouldn't allow anyone to express their views.

20 Mar 2015 18:51:04
Norwegianred, you know a lot more about Ronny than I do, before he came here I must confess I'd never heard of him, so I'm not sure what motivates him.
I assume though he is an ambitious man, and will want to go as far in the game as he can, after all he left Norway for Celtic, so he will move clubs.
I hope Celtic will try and match his ambitions as much as they can, we don't need to be changing managers every season, it just causes confusion among players and fans, as different managers have different methods, and performances tend to drop while the changes are implemented.

20 Mar 2015 19:45:22
Chris I think Martin O'neill did well at Aston Villa, I think they finished sixth, which is as high as they will reach. Villa have been on the slide since he left.
He didn't do so well at Sunderland, but then nobody ever does well at Sunderland.

21 Mar 2015 02:04:11
You make my point Gerryc . He had a good English pedigree, the treble in Scotland and an UEFA cup final appearance and you said that Martin did well to get to get Aston Villa to sixth .
I was merely pointing out celt4 ever post talking about Arsenal the two Manchester Clubs could be fighting over Deila . Some people on here have been talking about Deila been a rookie manager, yet now we are supposed to think the very top of the Epl will be after him . It doesn't happen like that the people who control the leading teams in the Epl have a zero rating on anything. In Scotland .

21 Mar 2015 07:37:25
Dont get me wrong Garry, every manager wants the best jobs in the game, of course. But Deila isn't the kind of person to do something half done, or jump ship. He had the choice to go to Rosenborg after his cup win for Strømsgodset but didnt.
If he signs a new long term deal he will be there for a long time.

ED007 are you watching the Inter game? Big pyrotechnic display before kick off by Inter fans, wonder if UEFA will discipline Inter? Will not hold my breath

{Ed007's Note - What's Italian for asthma?}

19 Mar 2015 21:36:52
Inter and celtic were both charged with setting off fireworks and we'll prob find out tomorrow what punishment they will get. At some point the individuals will need banned from following celtic away or the majority will be penalised. It's not about agreeing or disagreeing regards fireworks uefa say they are not allowed so unless there are rule changes they need to stop before the punishment goes beyond fines.

{Ed007's Note - If UEFA say they are not allowed they need to punish clubs across the board, not just pick and choose who should be punished. German, Italian and Turkish teams have used them for years without facing punishment.
Inter Milan have used them again tonight, that's blatant and consistent breaking of the rules made even worse IF they were charged for the same thing in the last round.}

19 Mar 2015 08:38:59
I've been reading the post match quotes from last night and have to say the Dundee United coaching staff are unreal with the excuses and blame game. Jackie didn't speak last night so it was Simon Donnelly's turn to blame their red card on our players. Apparently since we were down to 10 men we decided to influence the referee. It's cringeworthy stuff every time they don't win. It's like listening to Neil Lennon, blaming X, Y and Z instead of admitting they weren't good enough on the day.

19 Mar 2015 16:55:35
Kevbhoy It's great that you are so fond of Lennon, you cannot be serious comparing Dun UTD with a Celtic team under Neil Lennon or any other Celtic manager has never gone out with the intention of injuring players .
If your memory so bad that you cannot remember the continuous campaign of abuse and attempted murder, not only of himself but his family and you still bring up the most minor complaint of the lot, lennon moaning against biased referees and officals .
I suppose Keybhoy, you forget Lennon's predecessor, big Tony, who no matter how many biased decisions that went against him said, "we take it on the chin " No doubt the referees and officals took that as a right to carry on doing what they did best . That's why I applauded Lennon for standing up to the referees who were having a field day with big Tony .

19 Mar 2015 17:36:01
I'm not really sure what point you're making Chris02. Lennon getting threats and abuse has absolutely nothing to do with my point so you're barking up the wrong tree spouting that gash chat. He could never admit that we got beaten fair and square when we did, that was my point. Jackie McNamara does the same thing. Point made. If you ddisagree that's fine but wind your neck in basically making out that I condone or accept any criminal abuse directed at Lennon.

19 Mar 2015 22:45:28
The fact that he was abused and threatened with not a public mention of regret from his fellow managers or the Football Authorities could easily lead Lennon to feel he was been picked on and singled out . When the referees and officals continued to in his eyes and many others cheat his team is it any wonder.
All decent Celtic fans should be appreciative to Lennon, for highlighting the bias treatment that the referees got away with during "take it on the chin " reign.

20 Mar 2015 22:26:43
Tbh Chris I really don't buy into the whole referees and football hierarchy are out to get Celtic thing. 20/30 years ago fine but not now. Scottish rereferees are poor but not anti-Celtic. We get plenty of dodgy decisions against us but get plenty for us too.

21 Mar 2015 02:17:20
Kevbhoy, how many dodgy decisions did we get in our last three games against Dundee Utd . The only dodgy decisions were decisions against us .
I suppose Kevbhoy, you will be telling us next that Hugh Dallas was the main instigator in getting the referees to become fairer, more honest and not biased against Celtic . I am afraid, I have difficulty in believing you . Did the MSSM tell you about the referees's wonderful conversion.

22 Mar 2015 13:52:59
You don't believe me? Funnily enough Chris you're just putting words in my mouth and I never said anything remotely like that imaginary point of mine that you don't believe. At what point did I mention Hugh Dallas? You just make yourself seem really stupid with posts like that mate. I, Kevbhoy, do not believe there is still institutional bias against Celtic in this day and age. Agree or disagree all you want but don't try and manipulate my posts to suit your own wee rants. Cheers.

19 Mar 2015 07:33:40
A didn't see the stokes sending off due to the usual leaving early brigade what happened and I take it that it was a sending off as he didn't react much to the red card
Excellent performance from Biton on Forrest and a nice wee selection problem for Saturday's game

20 Mar 2015 18:34:22
Campsie Bhoy . They really stayed on later than usual on Wednesday night.
They are usually on the go before 70 mins are up. However we have to remember that some people have ten/ fifteen miles to travel

19 Mar 2015 01:21:58
Just thought I would share the good news in DN30 life, asked the love of my life the future Mrs DN30 to marry me and she said YES! Romantically done at half time during barca game lol

{Ed007's Note - Get up in the morning and blame the drink, there's still time to get out of it if you play it right.}

19 Mar 2015 01:59:36
Lmao ed time is right. 11 years she has served her apprenticeship lol

19 Mar 2015 05:49:42

19 Mar 2015 16:56:32
Congratulations pal, suppose after 11. Years the future Mrs DN knows what she's in for, u talking nonsense.
Lol, seriously all the best.

19 Mar 2015 17:03:45
That's not fair No girl should be expected to put up with such a negative old goat like you. Celtic were playing last night, if you couldn't attend it, at least you could listen to the broadcast . I didn't recognise half time in the Barca match .

However if the engagement and subsequent marriage keeps you from infiltrating these threads it will be worth it for us .
DN30 all the best and a very happy married life, after almost 38 years of it I can assure you, you will eventually get the hang of it .

20 Mar 2015 17:41:57
Congrats dn30 on your engagement and I hope all runs well on the big day eh. but after 11years does your future missus realise that if she'd murdered you she'd be out a free woman by now haha 😯
