The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[T Fearon]

I'd go for Michael O'Neill.

If Lennon returns  then Jim has a chance,  otherwise it's off to Cowdenbeath.

Jim will be heading home...Lennon will not have Jim there. Anyway don't think Lennon will get job...Malky Mackay possibly

[T Fearon]

Jim was appointed at the beginning of Lennon's final season

You're probably right about Lennon not getting the job, though it would be a pleasant surprise if he did, because  he would want guarantees of transfer funds and backing to build a team good enough to get through the CL qualifiers, never mind just beating Rangers.
Celtic will appoint some manager who has some experience, who will be just glad to get the Celtic job and an ex player to appease the fans' questions about his Celtic fc ethnicity.

Celtic fans are not in the least bit interested in his ethnicity. His ability to do the job is the most important thing. Jock Stein, the greatest manager of all time, came from a rangers background but Celtic were happy to appoint him.

I'd go for Michael O'Neill.

Would that put the heads of OWC supporters into a spin?

[T Fearon]

Seriously,anyone who can take a league of Ireland team into the Group stages of the Europa League and N Ireland into the Euro Finals must be a serious contender.Michael (his wife is a good Portadown woman) is also articulate,intelligent and of sound temperament.My choice as he ticks all the boxes.

Jim Mc Guinness is priced at 40/1 on Skybet to be in the Celtic dugout on the first day of the 2016/17 league season.Kenny Dalglish is 66/1.

He's done well with n Ireland but they had the easiest group of all time. He has no real experience at club level so I don't think he has much chance at this stage of getting the job. I would go for marcelo bielsa and I have seen reports that he is interested.

[T Fearon]

No real experience at club level? He won the league of Ireland and took Shamrock Rovers into Europa group stages.

You haven't been following the script, have you?
When Lennon was first appointed, his Celtic connection was used as a factor in his favour and gained him some time as he stuttered in his first full season.
Mobray's celtic past was also used in his favour to gain acceptance initially.
If there are 2 managers with very similar credentials being considered and one has a strong Celtic past, just who do think the fans would favour?

In the long run it doesn't matter and any manager regardless of celtic past will quickly run out of favour with the fans, as Mobray did.

Horsesh*t. Mobray was a disaster and it didn't take long for the fans to work that out. Blind loyalty is daft

any manger who is struggling will be under pressure regardless of the club. Delia should have been gone before Christmas but far too many Celtic fans and the board were willing to give him more time when he clearly wasn't up to it. If anything I think Celtic haven't been ruthless enough in this regard.

[StGallsGAA]

Michael O'Neill would be an upgrade on Delia, not that it would be difficult.  Mickey Quinn would b an upgrade!!!    Would the Celtic job pay Michael O'Neill more than the handy part time job he has with NI especially as he is probably due a huge pay increase for getting OWC to the Euro finals?

My question was, which part of the text you highlighted  in bold was horsesh!t in your opinion?
