Worst fears coming to bear? Coyle and agent seen entering Celtic Park?

{Ed007's Note - Tw@tter nonsense?? I know where Coyle is today and it isn't CP.}

Fair enough sir, hasn't been ruled out yet thou .

If Coyle get's the managers job, I'll give him 15-20 games max. But I reckon in that time he'll have us out of Europe completely n the League Cup, both at the first hurdles, playing horrible football!

The worrying thing though is Coyle's price is the only one getting shorter, whereas everyone else's is getting higher. None of the fans I know want him, so if all the bookies have him at 1/3 etc surely they must have heard something, or certain punters must have. It wouldn't surprise me though - in my 30 years going to the games the board always do the least imaginative/least progressive thing. It's almost as if they take a sadistic pleasure in doing the wrong thing. I think they must be a bit backward, who on that board is a real student of the game? They are all businessmen . To be fair Lawwell seems to be acting more like a director of football by the second. I think he was making all the football decisions under Lennon. Anyway if it is Coyle my nephew will be using my season ticket for another year, not because I dislike him/hold it against him that he turned us down - he seems like a great guy/real Celtic man. But I like to think of myself as a great guy, even alright guy, and I'm certainly a Celtic man. Coyle simply doesn't merit it - he has been a complete failure for the last couple of years. Uwe Rosler made a huge difference at Wigan in a matter of weeks, and I even heard Maloney saying that they were very impressed with the new ideas he had brought, he said they were working much harder under Rosler/training was much harder, but they were all very impressed. And that's a guy who has just come from bloody div 2 in England.

Which Bear? Why is he so afraid?

The only one's I know betting on Coyle are sevco fans

Brentford were in League 1 when Uwe Roler managed and they have since been promoted to the Championship. I know he didn't see it through but he laid solid foundations. By the way, the Bees support thought Niall McGinn was carp.

Well pardon me - I meant the old div 2, 2 leagues below the prem. The point I was making was a manager from the league below the one Wigan were in came in and seemed to have higher standards than Coyle had, which was worrying. Who cares about Niall McGinn, what's he got to do with anything, if you are trying to have a subtle pop at Celtic/the standard of our players, then I agree that there is plenty of room for improvement, but we still beat Brentford on their own pitch recently with our youth team, I think young McGregor got the winner!

If owen coyle gets it then I personally won't be giving another penny until he, s gone
Will give the team every backing but just not him, terrible manager and has also turned us down before so if he gets appointed then it shows the calibre of character our board has.
I was on the other day saying I hadnt heard of oscar garcia and a german coach but by the sound of things garcia is apparently supposed to be very good and ambitious and good with working with younger players.
I hope we narrow it down to a 4 man shortlist of David moyes, Malky Mackay, Paul Lambert and either Oscar garcia/Brian laudrup.

on another note can someone please clarify why we, re apparently having to sell again this summer if we get a big offer for fras or vvd?
i know how the finances are up here and getting an attractive offer is hard to refuse but 2 back to back cl campaigns raking in the best part of 40-45m plus 20m in transfers and spending a fraction of that should mean we shouldn't have to!
Are the board so stupid to realise we need to spend and keep our players to progress in europe??
