The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[bannside]

Id take Michael O Neill all day long. Knows the tradition, had a spell in Scottish football, improved any team he has ever been with, streetwise around a dressing room, clever enough to deal with the boardroom, and takes no prisoners. Is he a Klopp, no probably not, but could he find that necessary % thats missing, yes all day long.

Only problem might be extracting him away from Stoke.

is the scottish cup final not a problem? as you'd be sacking a manager one game away from his own treble but that game isn't until the 20th December, and there's no way the board can wait that long.

This is a season like no other. Lennon should have been sacked after the Ferencvaros game in all honesty, the writing was on all the wall then. We're now 9 points off Rangers at the top, out of Europe and with 1 win in 6 games.

Lennon got the job on sentimental reasons and the board knowing that he would swallow whatever shit they gave as he was beholden to them for a job that he would not get anywhere else.

This has dragged on for too long. Lennon's comments after the game last night were embarrassing - deflecting the blame onto the players again. He did the same against Ferencvaros, he is the manager.

Any manager worth his salt would have called the players out last night it was unacceptable on a professional level. Regardless of the manager.

Exactly. Lennon is not good enough for the job but individual errors recently have cost us big time. Ferencvaros were no chumps but we are a better team than them. That has set the tone for this season. We are so far off where we should be which is all down to management. That and rotten luck with injury and Covid.

To be fair to Lennon he did call them out last night. I felt sorry for him after the game, he was obviously upset. As an out and out Celt he does not deserve the level of vitriol he is getting, although I agree he has to accept responsibility for that debacle. John Kennedy has been there a long time and seems to be teflon. If Lennon stays he needs to shake up his staff and some players need dropped. The myth of Rogic was exposed last night. He is decent and nothing more Nctham could offer more if he is handled correctly.Edouard will not have a queue in January at this rate. As for Elyonussi absolute disregard for colleagues and fans, needs that phone shoved up his arse.
Oh as for Duffy, he is better than that but even in hurling and football you always protect your fullback (centre back).

[rodney trotter]

Damien Duff was highly rated as a coach with Celtic. He left during the summer to become part of Kenny backroom team with Ireland.

Obviously more to it then Duff leaving, but you often see clubs struggling if the replacement coach isn't as good.

[JohnDenver]

I think it was the open goal podcast with Si Ferry that had Duff on there over the summer, possibly after he had left Celtic.  He spoke highly of both Lennon and Kennedy. I was probably more surprised of the Kennedy praise. From memory I think Duffer reckoned he would go far.

[rodney trotter]

They replaced Duff with Gavin Strachan. The son of Gordon.
Not as good a coach apparently.

How a big role does Kennedy have on the coaching,? he's assistant manager

Good managers don't deflect bad form on to players, they take the responsibility themselves - they are the manager who picks the team, works on things in the training ground and employs the tactics. Lennon has been fielding out of form players for months now so why is he surprised when they let him down?

The myth of Rogic? He was one of our best players last night and at the heart of any decent play, a great ball set Frimpong through for a chance, great touch for the Griffiths goal too.

The problem is not guys like Rogic who will be demoted to the bench after a bad performance, the problem is a manager who persists with his favourites regardless of form or fitness. Ntcham has been dreadful this season.

We need a new manager in who is up to the job. Lennon isn't, he'll never get a job of this magnitude again. He only got it because he's a yes man who will appease to the fans for sentimental reasons.

Was posting late from the phone last night so didn't go into much detail but things are not good. No matter what the players say or what the Board say things have went too far and there is clearly an issue there which i can't see rectifying itself so something has to happen. Scott Brown has come out and said it's 100% the players fault but that won't matter one iota as it'll fall on the manager as it always does, as i said last night the Board are probably meeting this morning discussing it but what will they do?. Will they wait until after Sunday's game and give them a bit of time to look out for another target or wipe him out this afternoon.
Rogic? sorry but i'm with NL on this one. Slow and loses possession so easily and puts the team under pressure
N'Tcham? Not good enough and seems like he doesn't give a feck
ELYOUNOUSSI? On his phone in the stand...WTF
MCGREGOR? Never said a bad word about him but last nights performance was unacceptable
Duffy? Might as well play Colin Duffy FFS
Bitton? Too slow
No decent goal keeper
H. ABD ELHAMED? Thought he was better but seems it's not the case
Brown? under performing and prob the years are catching up on him
Christie? was poor last night but is usually decent
4 forwards? Eddie is way off the pace, Griff still over weight, Ajeti a bit slow but not sure yet on him, Klimala not good enough

Things need changing there's no doubt on that...who, what , where & when?.

Could we say Lennon's position is no longer TENable

Good summary there, the Colin Duffy one definitely deserves a 👏, if Lennon gets the road who's gonna turn things around?
