Question for you Ed, would you take Ryan Giggs as manager of Celtic instead of Lennon.

I wouldn't because I feel Celtic shouldn't be a learning ground/nursery for any aspiring manager.

Would he do a better job than NL, I think he possibly would especially in Europe.

I would like our next manager to be someone who is on his 2nd or 3rd big managerial assignment with at least five years proven European experience behind him.

{Ed007's Note - No way would I want Giggs as manager, he has done nothing and didn't impress me in the few games he was in charge of at Utd. If we were going down that kind of route I would rather have Roy Keane but I think it's far too early for him as well. I think Keane will come into contention in a couple of years, working alongside MON will only improve Keane as a manager.
I agree with you about the pedigree of our next manager, I would love to see an experienced man come in and overhaul the entire footballing side of the club, implement an expansive passing game at all levels of the club which would become the team's trademark.
I've even thought about bringing in a DOF, a strong disciplinarian like Felix Magath to work alongside a young(ish) coach like Steve Clarke, Clarke is a far better coach than he is a manager and linking up with an experienced DOF would allow him to concentrate solely on the coaching side of things.}

I agree with you neither Giggs or Keane
Maybe someone like Martinez.

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

Our club don't sell players after one year. In fact in recent years we have only sold our better players because they demanded to leave and wouldn't have too long until they had run down their contracts and left for little or nothing . Although there are some very fine continental managers and coaches, not all of the best would come to operate on a tight budget like we would have to apply . Many of those willing to come would make us less competitive than we already are .
