A Manager we've never heard of from the Norwegian league and a goalkeeper that hasn't played in a wee while.

Both a gamble and I'm not sure where I stand on it all.

How do we judge Ronny (I keep saying Ronaldinho in my head) this season - league, CL qualification, EL qualification, treble?

I refuse to berate or celebrate any manager until I have seen results over a decent period. As for Gordon a few years ago I would have taken him, if he's back great. With all, time will tell.

Giving the time frame he would have to work in if we get cl group stages i'd consider that a success,

PL had flown over to Norway to then fly back with Ronny!
Looks like it's happening Mrs E.
I'm also not sure what to make of it all?
I'm all for a new approach, looks like we could be getting it, just not in the way we thought it might happen!
No matter who the board appointed it was always going to be a gamble, given the way they are reluctant to release decent funds for decent players.
This is going to be a master stroke or a disaster, no in between! And I'd love for it to pan out amazingly.
John Collins is never a manager but similar to Clarke, a good coach, his knowledge on coerver coaching is unreal and it's the way forward, not the old guard tika taka :)
Hopefully they work together well if it turns out that way.

It's been a while since the fans have totally turned on the board, hopefully this isn't another, but when needs must!

I won't berate him Shuggy and most definitely wish him every success. I'm just apprehensive :-/

Deep River Bhoy, qualifying for CL was always considered a success. I still remember the night Neil Lennon qualified for the first time, a great night at Celtic Park.

I agree with DRB, time is short to form a judgement. For me the most important thing is win the league and start playing a more modern game with a path to the first team for youth.I read he is a great believer in squad rotation, another thing we have lacked for a few years.

I'd be delighted if it works out John :-)

I just don't get all the FIFA 14 analysis, a bit of reality would be good.

I first seen John Collins mentioned on here last night, he could be good. It's all just the unknown but I suppose its not the first time it's happened. Throwing Craig Gordon in just made me more uneasy lol

Hopefully we get into Champions League but it will be hard, new manager and no Celtic Park for our first two qualifying rounds
