For me the time has come for change.
Manager and back room staff, chief executive and chairman.

Lennon is not the man to take us forward.
Let's think big and go for Brendan Rodgers or the like.
Pay the money for a top manager who will give us some pride back.

Do you still believe in Santa?
I love your intent but never going to happen here with current board. As for your choice of manager? H.

Brendan Rodgers is not the answer.

I would love us to go for Brendon Rogers but with the current board we will always go for a cheaper option and a yes man. it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Ronnie was still in charge next season. we've become a joke of a club and the butt of all jokes is a disgrace the board have allowed this to happen.

Today at work was horrendous having to listen to gloats and the " rangers are the best team in Scotland"! In my 39 years I've never saw a old firm game where we have played so badly and not competed BUT as I told the idiots today yes we played horrendous but we still almost won the game in penalties which tells me the new club are no where near as good as they think. If we had a competent manager who can actually talk at the side of the pitch then they would have changed the tactics after 10 minutes and easily won the game. Ronnie has no clue, has no plan B, the players don't listen or play for him so time to go.

Going for Brendan Rodgers is a joke, the plain fact is if you look at the performances of the Celtic team overall since Ronnies been in charge, the poor to middling performances vastly outweigh the superlative performances, Ronnie is just not a good manager, he might be great in bringing on younger players but when it comes to handling grown up babies that most professional footballers are he just does'nt have a clue, his selelections, his tactics, have been wrong too many times, I am of the opinion that you could choose any one of three or four Spl managers and they would have Celtic playing at a much higher standard than Ronnie could ever achieve, as for Rodgers, he would be a disaster.

DN30 i know we won't go for or indeed get Brendan Rogers but what do you mean by BR is not the answer? In what regard and relative to what benchmark? what about Michael O'Neill or Coleman or Pardew or the Burnley manager or Karanka etc or are they not the answer? Who is the answer and on what terms?

I think it's Roy Keane with Pat Bonner as a john Robertson type and peter Houston or jim Duffy as first team coaches but that's just me.

I thinks it what our club needs at this precise moment in time.

what exactly has brendan rodgers done that would mean he would make a good Celtic manager.

Is Pat Bonner ever even coached?

I'd have Jim Duffy at the Club. I have a lot of time for him - and he has done wonders at Greenock Morton. By all accounts he's a really good coach.

{Ed007's Note - I suggested Duffy as an alternative to JC when he was appointed. Duffy is a fantastic coach and really likeable which a No.2 should be to allow him to be one of the boys and know what's going on with the players lives.}

Totally agree ED. I think I remember the Duffy as Assistant chat. That said, I wouldn't have thought you would have forgiven him for Kirsty Gallacher ;)

{Ed007's Note - That just shows there's hope for us all.}

Exactly ed. and peter Houston?

To the pat bonner point, yes he has coached and been involved with Ireland for about 15 years.

That is a great shout it's glaringly obvious that team spirit is severely lacking, but it's hardly surprising with John (personality bypass) Collins hanging around

{Ed007's Note - I've said it all along that a No.2 has to be seen as one of the lads, in on the jokes etc to gain the players trust. He's the buffer/cushion between the players and the manager as well as having to have the complete trust of the manager or head coach. Collins is no more than Park's eyes and ears around the Club.}

Exactly. That's the sort of guy I want at Celtic Park - someone who inspires!

Didn't know that PW. Always seems to have a good grasp as a pundit.

And Morton are good to watch too.
