The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Myles Na G.]

Myles, any chance on you giving us some constructive input on Celtic?

Easy one - bring Paul Lambert back to CP, maybe with Lenny as his assistant.

Paul Lambert?
success with an English 3rd division team entitles him to jack.
Lennon would quite rightly walk away from the mad house that would make such an insulting offer to him.

Lambert is now on his 3rd club as a manager. Each one, he has left in a better position than when he started. That makes him a far better prospect as Celtic manager than Neil Lennon, who has no managerial experience at all. If you think Lambert is unqualified, then Lennon is a non starter is he not?

why would you bring in an inexperienced manager from a third div team to replce an inexperienced manager who has been at the club in recent years , knows all the players and has beenin the mgt position for the past few months.
Lambert maybe in the future, but to swap him for Lennon now would be stupidity of the highest order !

as for your lack of knowledge in sports including soccer - so you think that replacing inferior players , and inproving the amount of games (since Christmas - no coincedence that the old inferior defenders were no longer playing) with clean sheets was not progress? You havent a clue about soccer or any other sport !
Winning teams are built on good defences - check soccer as well as any other sport !

You're dead right. Mowbray was improving the team in the ways you point out. The Board were wrong to sack him, the tens of thousands of loyal fans who stopped turning up were just too picky, and the poor results against lowly SPL teams were mere blips on an otherwise upward trajectory. 

Sitting here with the tv on and I see that one of those inferior players is playing against Chelsea in the EPL. Maybe nobody's told Martinez that Caldwell's crap. You should contact him. I'm sure he'd listen to someone who's never played the game since he was a kid, and who admits that 'soccer' is only his 3rd favourite sport behind Gaelic football and hurling.

  Aye, Caldwell done well there didn't he? As for your rubbish comments about soccer, wind your neck in!

He's done well to be playing regularly in the EPL. He's had better days than today.

And wind your own neck in, btw.

[SambaSaffron]

  Indeed. Insinuating that someone isn't qualified to comment on a sport because it isn't their favourite sport is the biggest balls I've ever heard.

Gary Caldwell is pish, no matter what Roberto Martinez, you or Caldwell himself think. Half a season where he performed reasonably well does not by any stretch make him a good player.

Lambert has already stated that he doesn't want to return to the "goldfish bowl" of Glasgow soccer.
So not to constructive, try again, also another thing, do you have anything positive to say about the club?

So, waiting.

I could, given a bit of time, find something positive to say about nearly every football club in existence. Did you have a point to make, or are you just at a bit of a loose end?

He's not the greatest centre back in the world, but he's certainly good enough for the SPL and seems to be doing okay in the EPL since he's he's been down there.

Interestingly, Celtic was Mowbray's third club as a manager. The other two, he has left in a better position than when he started.

In addition, his % wins is better than Lambert's (44.78% vs. 42.9%).

Are you saying the Celts should bring back Mowbray?

Strange.

My point is that you claim to be a Celtic fan, yet I am having great difficulty in remembering you ever having anything positive to say about the team.
Now again have you anything positive to say about the club?

The word on the street yesterday was that Avram Grant was getting the job and that it's to be kept hush hush until they play their cup final, i think it'll be harsh on Neil Lennon to give it to anybody else...Some guys in Lurgan claim to have backed Grant at 33/1 with the bookies ages ago (haven't seen the betting slip myself so until i do i doubt he'd be that price)

[Main Street]

I think Mowbray got in better players than he inherited, but was let down by a combination of a persistent spate of injuries to the back 4 and erratic management of the team.

The Board gave Mowbray enough support, even to the wallet lightening exercise of the Keane signing. I think they can be trusted to make a considered decision over a new manager.
Atm, I 'd have Mark Hughes or Avram Grant, with Lenny in 3rd place well ahead of the pack.

[Main Street]

I just saw your post illdecide.
Grant has come in from 28/1 to 20/1.
I think that is an excellent price for a gambling man (not me). If Grant was inclined to take the job, it would be a major enough coup for Celtic

Whatever about major, it certainly would be interesting!
