The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[sid waddell]

Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon is an up and coming young manager, they're leading the Portuguese league by a street

I highly doubt he'd leave for Celtic though

Benitez, Sarri and Villas boas are available

Slaven Bilic might be worth a shout

[Angelo]

No offence but why would a top coach in Martinez, want to go to Celtic? Improve his impressive CV? not guaranteed CL football now that Rangers have got their act together.

Wages, having been with Everton and Belgium he'd been on a good wage I'd assume, would his wages be less at Celtic?

It would be a great addition to Celtic, always liked his approach.

To win trophies, to prove himself on the European level. He's played in Scottish football, he knows about big a club Celtic are - he knows they are bigger than Everton and Wigan with all due respect.

So it comes down to how much we want him. We give him a good contract and we back him in the transfer market then I'd say he'd be very tempted.

His wife is also Scottish.

Slippy will be gone soon. Maybe even this summer. If they make the CL group stage he might stay but he's sure to get an offer from England he's sure to take it. They are still built on sand so I wouldn't be too worried but them being overly strong (you want them to be somewhat strong though as otherwise what's the point).

Celtic offers easy access to European football - unless you can get one of the top jobs in England there are no easy routes down there.

You'd have to think they have someone in mind or maybe even someone in the bag already. Why else would they have allowed Lennon to limp on. They had to pull the plug now as there was a real danger that there would be an orchestrated campaign to boycott season ticket sales. In that regard Kennedy won't cut it. He needs to win a few games now and then maybe pick up a job at a smaller.

That's it sold right there

I like the Martinez idea ahead of the likes of Eddie Howe. The Scotland manager Steve Clarke has been mentioned but that's the sort of underwhelming appointment I wouldn't want. Benitez and Sarri would all be good but probably wouldn't want to go to Celtic unless crazy money was thrown their way.

[Main Street]

Martinez to Celtic is fantasy chat and Eddie will pick up an EPL job, Crystal Palace?

[Louther]

Roy Keane - make it happen.

Some of the names bandied about here would make you laugh.

It won't be Martinez. I'd take Howe but have a feeling it'll be Clarke

You would imagine Martinez would be on similar wages to what Rogers would have been on.  The lure of "easier" won league titles and cups and champions league football?

The euros will be a big factor. You're basically gambling on his stock after that. If Belgium do well with their star studded squad, you'd think he will have the big of clubs chasing his name. If a deal was in place before hand, it would probably be less of a gamble for Celtic, unless Belgium completely bomb out.

Rodgers was out of work when he came to Celtic

It would make no sense for Martinez to commit before the Euros.

Belgium do well he will have a host of top clubs after him.

Belgium are poor and he could still walk into the Celtic job (if and when it becomes available).

No top manager would be actively pursuing the Celtic job

[Silkyskillssunshinee]

It wouldn't surprise me if Celtic went down the Lampard route mainly because he's a big name. The SPFL would be rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of Lampard v Gerrard, easy marketing ploy.

Do you think Martinez would choose a midtable EPL club over Celtic if the contract terms were similar?

Define top clubs who might be after Martinez?

Better prospects and exposure from a top championship side than Celtic ffs
