The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[dec]

I don't understand Celtic supporters who claim this is a different Rangers.If that's the case why was the Celtic end jam packed yesterday? Wouldn't have been if they were playing Dundee Utd,Inverness etc

It's a wind up/troll thing. Sort of like someone who posts a lots of trolling type threads and replies on this dicussion board.

And his departure should happen with dignity, he should be given the honour to lead Celtic to another spl title and celebrate accordingly. Afterwards  turn out the light and close the door.

Then the board can work out htf they are spending £50m out of £65m  on that lot, when squads with 20% of that income are run better and can play Celtic off the park

Moyes will be the new Celtic manager if the board don't do their usual and eff about. Lawwell to go as well.
Sunday's result wasn't a surprise but with more composure it would have been 5-2 to us. They had three 'chances' and scored from two,  their second goal was just one of those shots that either screams in or is high and wide. We were well off our best (whatever that might be this year) and they played better than most of us thought they could.
And they are a new club, they were liquidated which in any other sphere is pretty much final. Same flies, different shit!

That's not accurate. The stadim has been barely 1/3 full this season, for a lot of games,as supporters have deserted in their droves.

I understand the legal reasons why Rangers are still Rangers, what I don't understand is why many Celtic fans claim they are a new club (I get they want to wind up the Rangers support ok), but the same Celtic supporters treated yesterday's game very much like the Old Firm Derby, as it always has been, as if nothing had happened at all to Rangers.

I repeat if Celtic had been facing Hibs, Inverness, Dundee Utd or anyone else yesterday, the Celtic end would not have been nearly full even.

Also Ronny Deila is the manager because no one else wanted the job. At last year's AGM, the accounts revealed the club has about £4m in the Bank. With no other significant revenue streams available, that's not going to attract the likes of Guardiola, Mourinho or allow them to buy the kind of players they are accustomed to buying

4 Million in the Black is kind of rare for Soccer teams I believe most of them operate heavily in the Red offset against their assets, this was a long term goal of Celtics I think ever since they nearly went tits up too, its why Lawell was always a miserable bastard with regards players etc to stop us going the way of Rangers.
What I find crazy sometimes is how conservative they are to keep the books balanced very rarely betting anything on getting Champions League and the Wind Fall from it.

I agree.But will Moyes take the job? I doubt it.There are no easy fixes or solutions.Deila did ok in his first year with the likes of Guidetti,Denayer etc but that quality has not been replaced.

No passion, no tactics, no balls and as for the Ronnie Roar my christ I'm embarrassed for him. He has failed with flying colours.

[illdecide]

P Lawell has a hard job in fairness lads and the easy thing would be to throw silly money at players and that still guarantees you nothing, I think if we hit a jewel in a manager he may well loosen the purse strings a we bit but we have serious squad members to get rid of first of all and reduce the wage bill to make way for a few new signings. I said along when people were saying we're not good enough for the Champions League that smaller teams with less budget are playing us off the park and making it to the group stages of CL, there are 3-4 places every year available for lesser teams to get into group stages and we should bar getting a tough draw should be making it at least 50% of the time.

Celtic need the right manager in place with a bit of savy around the transfer market and we'll improve 10 fold. As for P Lawell he may give the manager more money next season for players or we won't get the right man to take the job but another "Yes" man. Rangers have stated that they need to strengthen but said they will not go into debt to do so. Have they learned their lesson from before? time will tell.

Let Ronny win the league and then go, citing personal reasons or something similar. Dont want David Moyes, very rarely did a Moyes team ever go out and try put 3-4 past someone he's all about getting 1 up and defending it. We need to think outside the box, whats Rodgers doing these days? i know he's a Celtic man and the chance to bring celtic into the champions league might be enough for him. Big Mick would be a good shout, seems to be able to get lesser players to play good football and dig out results. he's doing a great job with Ipswich and his main striker as Daryl Murphy who couldnt hit a barn door for us!

thought I'd posted this..... Anyway the talk about Rangers not being Rangers.... is it down to the fact that Celtic fans can now say that the new Rangers will never match Celtic record and Celtic will eventually beat Rangers record, so becoming the most successful domestic team in Scotland? Is that it? Rangers still play in Ibrox, same fans and same tops?

[T Fearon]

The fact that tickets were like hens teeth on Sunday show that Celtic fans believe they were playing Rangers.

Neil Lennon throwing his hat int he ring for Ronnies job again

Neil Lennon throwing his hat int he ring for Ronnies job again

Wouldn't want him back, he had his time, thought he would walk into a job in the english prem and when he didn't and had a grim time at Bolton he thinks Celtic will take him back? Thanks for the memories Neill but not again. In fact, would go as far as to say id rather John Hughes or Paul Hartley before Lennon again

They were liquidated, that is not in question. They changed their name to the rangers and started up again as a new club.

Have UEFA or FIFA not previously said that although a new company they are still the same club and if for arguments sake they win the scottish league next season then it won't be classed as their first title but will simply be added to the dozens the club won previously.
