Personally i would let the 2 of them go to fund getting joe allen in from liverpool or even rep of irelands hendrick.

1.) 05 Jul 2016 19:33:41
Many game have u seen hendrick play?

2.) 05 Jul 2016 19:54:02
wouldve liked fer but just signed for swansea i think.

3.) 05 Jul 2016 21:08:04
Marcus henriksson az alkmaar centre mid / att mid.

4.) 05 Jul 2016 21:32:30
Hendrick wasn't too highly thought of by Irish fans before the Euroes. He did well in them and improved nearly every match.

Just having a look through managers name that I think could do a job at celtic what do you think?

slaven bilic
malky mackay
sami hyypia
thorsten fink
Moyes

my vote would be Mackay.

1.) 17 May 2014 14:13:47
If its from the list you've made bilic think he'd give the place a good shake up

2.) I would like moyes but would like magath from fulham but in all honesty don't see lennon leavin

3.) I'd take Slaven Bilic in a heartbeat but he is on about £1.5 million a season at Besiktas and there is no way the current board would sanction that kind of spend on a manager.

Fink would also do a good job, he had a good record at Basel and worked under Trapattoni at Salzburg although his time at Hamburg was a bit of a disaster I don't think anyone could have succeeded there with all the problems there.

Felix Magath is a good shout Gordy but at his age I don't think it would be a long term thing it would certainly freshen things up. I would prefer a younger manager to come in and lay the foundations to drag the whole club up a level and begin a Dynasty of Domination on the domestic front. I firmly believe we have a great chance to make Celtic the dominant force in Scotland for the next 15-20 years and we don't want to drop the ball like we have in the past (Fletcher from Hibs).

I would love to see our team in say 6/8 years to be made up mostly of quality players we have produced ourselves with a few high quality players bought in to add the extra spark, model ourselves on clubs like Ajax, Dortmund and Juventus.

We have all the components in place except someone to oversee the progress. The fans need something on the footballing side to grab their attention, look at the difference in Liverpool since Rodgers took over and the fans bought into his vision and plans, imagine the difference at Celtic Park if we had installed Rodgers and were watching his brand of football week in and week out, the crowds wouldn't have nosedived that's for sure.

I don't think Neil Lennon knows himself what his plans or vision are, and if the manager doesn't know how can you expect fans to buy into it? There's no set tactics or style of play and it seems to change game by game. We need a manager who has a footballing philosophy becoming Celtic Football Club and the cavalier style that used to be our trademark throughout our illustrious 126 year unbroken history.

The late, great Tommy Burns, God bless him, understood it perfectly. His team played some of the best football I have ever seen at Celtic park in my lifetime and I have no doubts that if he had been given more time he would have succeeded and the club would still be reaping the benefits of the foundations he laid down 20 years ago.

4.) An excellent summary Che.

Hail Hail

5.) Thorsten fink mate

6.) Agree with you che mate

7.) Much as I like the job, that Rodgers has started at Liverpool, he hasn't actually won anything yet . Tommie Burns spent many years here as manager, and although we all loved his style of football, he didn't win much . We can all dream about beautiful football but we really want to be winning too.

{Ed007's Note - You can't really class 3 years as many, please don't even try to suggest NL is a better manager than Brendan Rodgers and that pains me no end to give any praise to Liverpool.}

8.) But NL's Celtic beat BR's Liverpool last summer Ed, just like he beat Barça. Therefore he's the greatest ever Celtic manager lol.

9.) Moyes was a complete disaster at UTD this season now over. He spent money badly, he played terrible tactics and certainly didn't get the best out of his players. I think his nerves and self believe would have been shattered and I wouldn't want him near Celtic Park until he has restored his confidence somewhere .

Ed, I notice that some posts on here and other sites have the gaffer NL ending his time with the Hoops in the summer. What's your thoughts on it? Do you think he wants to kick around for another year of the CL or could he move on? Obviously only he will know for sure. IF! he was to go I would fancy Malky Mackay to carry us forward. Anyone agree? Could we afford Malky as a gaffer?

{Ed007's Note - I've said it for months that I don't think NL will be manager come next season. His stock is on the slide down south, if he stays next season he won't be able to walk if as expected Sevco are back in the league the following season, the board have proven again that they aren't prepared to back him in the transfer market and CL football will be harder than ever to achieve with the current squad and the level he is forced to shop in.
I still think Owen Coyle will be the next manager although I would rather we looked abroad at someone who will improve the overall standards on and off the field, the style of play, training methods, restructuring scouting young players and the youth football system. Everything just seems very stale to me just now as a lot of fans are disillusioned with the club as a whole and I can only see it getting worse over the next few years unless there is a change in attitude from the board regarding signings and investment, where they want the club to be and what the fans actually want.}

1.) Couldn't agree more ed, tbh I truly like the way PL runs the club given our climate. I do believe we need the injection of foreign thought and training throughout all our squads, not to mention our schools etc etc. sport in general in our country is failing, time for a complete rethink and where it must start is in the schools and the homes. Everyone off your backsides, get the footballs back out on our streets in every home around the country. Don't make excuses that you work all day, get involved. We r all laptop loyal sunless we r proactive for the good of our kids and our club. Don't let your kids sit in front of the TV/computer, point out broony (not my fave celtic player but he gives everything for the club). Listen all on here LOVE our club just like sevco love theirs. We all need to take responsibility, time to make Scottish football better now and that's in today's primary schools and beyond. I love celtic above all and love to see them excel but let's let Scottish kids excel too with the right training. For example Andy Murray's mother knew Scottish and British sports authorities would stifle Andy and so she had the foresight and could send him overseas. In so many sports in Scotland we r so behind the times but have old farts in blazers dictating matters who have never competed on an international level. We need balance, get professionals in who know the scene, who appreciate history, who aren't money grabbers and who will revel in youth excelling in this country. It's not a club thing it's a country thing! Celtic to the fore as always but want Scotland as winners too!

2.) 30 Jan 2014 06:58:22
Don't see how any of the managers spoke about so far are gony do any better than Lennon.

3.) If he leaves I would like to see someone from one who has a track record at a club from europe of developing thier own youngsters and promoting to first team squads .

4.) That about sums up most of the points I have commented on over the season Ed and although he did bring back the thunder and the Barcelona 125th birthday night will never be forgotten; there have been too many slips and slides within the club - especially the problems during transfer windows and player/contract management.
He will go out on a high (especially if we manage a Cup win) and a huge thank you for his many years service.
Owen Coyle does worry me a bit - he has flopped in his last 2 jobs and the Wigan period seems especially poor.
But there may be other, better candidates when/if the time comes?
Will the Board welcome a 'strong' manager in view of the tight financial regime that exists at present?

5.) Great points raised Ed not just about investments on but off the park. Was interesting reading NL saying he has nothing to do with the finances of signings, it's PL only. Now I know when it comes to finances PL is the expert and deserves credit for a lot of work in that department. But NL is the football minded one in that act so surely there should be a bit more cohesion there in NL having an idea of what needs to be spent in which department of the team. Not sure which previous signings are down to who but its obvious NL isn't being allowed the purse strings. If we're not going to spend close to what we make from players we'll fall behind, it's as simple as that.

RE, youth teams/coaching. Now I'd rather us winning youth cups and leagues than not, don't get me wrong, but do you think that too much emphasis is on winning the leagues than the actual way in which young kids are actually developed?

{Ed007's Note - At most clubs managers don't have anything to do with the financial side of signings, once targets are identified it usually falls to the Chief Executive (or his equivalent) to negotiate. Managers will try to sell the club to players by basically blowing sunshine up the player's backside about how highly he rates them, where he sees him playing etc.
As for the youth teams I think you need to find the right balance, it's great to see the youngsters winning trophies but that shouldn't be the be all and end all of it. Youth players should be taught to play the game the way the manager wants the first team playing, it should become the club's style, an expansive game based on keeping possession and making the ball do the work. Then when/if they get a chance to step-up to the first team they have been coached to play the same system.}

6.) Ta for sharing your knowledge Ed good as always. I'm on board with the philosophy of a style of playing going through to youth level. I'd at least like to think that something along those lines is already in motion and we're yet to see the real benefits. For a club of our size and infrastructure there's not enough coming through for me that finds themselves in and around the first team for at least a few seasons. For one reason or another. Just Forrest and Mulgrew (although we very nearly lost him full stop) since I dunno, McGeady?

{Ed007's Note - There is nowhere near enough players coming through the academy. Whether that is down to the scouting, coaching or the manager's reluctance to play them I don't know, from what I have seen of our youngsters there are certainly a few who I would give a chance. Even out of the three you mentioned I would class as no better than average, Forrest and McGeady are far too inconsistent and Mulgrew has had one good season for us.}

I want to raise a topic to think about and see what peoples opinion is, so here goes! Our captian Scott Brown come this summer, is going to have 1 year remaining on his contract, and he will be 29 (not saying that's old!). we all know that he has has issues with his hip and let us down badly in the champions league with his suspension. I am a fan of how he holds celtic together in midfield and you could see that the team was weaker without him, however I believe we need to move on from Broonie to allow other players time to grow. do you think we should offload him next summer or do you think a new contract is the way to go for him? I feel after his suspension in CL this season he will be watched closely by refs next season in the CL and cautioned for breathing.

{Ed007's Note - Whoa....easy there tiger!!!!

1.) No. A bit of loyalty my friend.

2.) 22 Jan 2014 07:33:30
New contract for me, if Ledley and sammy are away we can't really be letting another of our experienced players go. He made a mistake in Europe plenty have surely we got to move on from that now. His hip problem doesn't seem to have bothered him this season. 29 doesn't seem to old these days either players are fitter and playing longer.
Plus he knows what it means to be playing for celtic being from Scotland and always give his all.

3.) I am not Browns biggest fan, as I feel he should have added a lot more goals to his game and can be an easy target for referees and wind-up merchants (CL is an example).
On saying that, he does make a difference when he is in the team and is the captain for a reason.
Under Lennon we have sometimes lacked experience on the park when we need it and we need to keep him.

JJ

4.) Brown could be a celtic legend he's stated youd have to be off hid nut to leave celtic I for one like brown carefull what yous wish for troops he knows adzactly wit it means to pull the hoops on

5.) Let's get rid of Commons, Forster and Virgil too aye?

6.) I can't see Brown leaving. One of my favourite players and as poster above said "he knows what it means to pull hoops on"

7.) Broonies top notch with fire in his belly and a decent guy off the park silly question next mm

8.) Oh no! He's not beyond criticism but we'd struggle to replace him and what he brings to the team.

I dunno about this one ed! It may have some foundations to it!, according to A Bola of Portugal djuricic is finding it difficult to settle in the squad and getting frustrated at not getting first team opportunities. They have stated that Benfica was thinking as fat back as November about moving him on. They also recon that finboggasson was a smoke screen last summer and was actually Djuricic we wanted. Maybe brnfica want to cut their loses with this guy and let him go.

{Ed007's Note - It must be true then if a newspaper is saying it.}

Why do we not look outside of the uk? Names so far collins, lambert, keane, coyle etc etc do we not have any ambition? We need a manager in who has ae much pedigree as the players we want to eign. We hqve done not too bad in chqmpions league in the past and financially yes it keeps us afloat. But we are only there to make up the numbers, we don't keep players long enough to have any concrete basis of a team. We are a europa league team and have more chance of competeing in that than anything else. We can't hold onto victorys in the past to justify our playingwith the big boys. We need a manager that will come in setle the squad and keep players on contracts for the term of their contract and not sell after 1 year? How does a team settle or achieve with the disruption? You may agree or disagree just my opinion.i would like to see a european manager in the dugout at paradise
