Owen Coyle 2/5 with PP.


Does this type of thing go on for weeks or do they wrap it up as quick as possible for the shaky stock confidence?

id love steve bruce, i think he can spot players outta no where, palacios, valencia, zarate, zaki etc, but wigan would want to much compensation. BBC quoted it at £3m, which they had to pay Birmingham

I think Celtic will want this sorted out ASAP, so that rebuilding can begin, won't be too long until the CL qualifers!!

why would anyone want mark mcgee

[Main Street]

Celtic minded maybe?

No use getting a manager who would jump at the job from a distance and who would accept any terms.
You need someone who Celtic would be fortunate to get and would hand over a truck load of cash for the transfer market as an enticement for such a manager..

Wondering why ex Celtic player John Hughes has not been mentioned? Has saved Falkirk from relegation, won a massive match under huge pressure at the weekend, and has taken the bairns to the Scottish Cup Final, all on a shoestring budget. I'd have him before the likes of Mc Ghee etc

dont understand this celtic minded bs (not so much on here) after all jansen and venglos were hardly 'celtic minded' personally none of the scot/eng managers would fill me with optimism, a european manager would be my preference perhaps bilic, we have to get out of this buying mediocre english and scotish footballers, there are plenty of very good european footballers who would look at celtic at least as a stepping stone which if we got a couple of years out of them would be fine with me, personally i think a major clean out is required though realistically this would be difficult to achieve in the 8 weeks until the european qualifiers, but at least for the start of the season, i would say naka is gone, boruc may go with 2 keepers coming in, we need a couple of defenders, a couple of central midfielders and 2 strikers, skippy is decent back up, worst case scenario we should be giving the europa cup a good rattle and personally i think that is the best option at this stage!

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Martin Jol got the Ajax job, off the list, will replace with John Hughes.

[tyroneStatto]

bilic would be a very good choice if this is true.

I was just thinking of one guy there "Mr Larsson" and was wondering if he was going to dip his toe into management but i just listened to him there on the BBC web site he was commenting on the champions league final tonight and he's still playing away and says he as fit as ever and will continue to play as long as possible WTF the man's going to be playing when he's 45...

I think Larsson would be a good manager (when he decides to quit playing). Very intelligent guy with more experience than most and has morals, also think he'd be ruthless with hanger-on's. The type of guy we'd need

John Hughes has done well at Falkirk, apparantly has some link up with Arsene Wenger and picked up some of Arsenals excess kids on loan. Remember Antony Stokes scoring 17 before Christmas a few years back? I heard though that the Falkirk supporters trust had written to the football club asking them to get rid of Hughes before the Inverness game, great loyal supporters there. As far as I am aware this is Falkirks longest run in the SPL so Hughes has some, minor achievement to claim. If he beats the huns on Saturady sign him up!!
