The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

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

STV seem to agree with you illdecide.

I seriously didn't see or read that before my post. I just feel Larsson would not accept guys that were not going at it full tilt and would soon ship out dead wood. He'd have some excellent contacts and the Celtic fans would accept him with open arms.

As for who i want to get the job now, i would go for Coyle as my 1st choice. He reminds me of O'Neill in a way, he seems to be a very good motivator and has guys punching above their weight like MON did and also is well respected by his players

Could there be any truth in this report?

Owen Coyle out to evens on PP.

A surefire dampner.

[the colonel]

clyde 1 reporting that Celtic have talked to Coyle, he is weighing up the offer and compensation has yet to be agreed with the 2 clubs

[Main Street]

5 minutes later Owen Coyle back into 8/15.
news travels fast.

[saffron sam2]

Jim Magilton and Paul Lambert being bandied about here.

Arguably, a step up for both.

The plot thickens.........

Billic i can live with but i'll tell this if they appoint that Magilton man i'll never be back

[nifan]

Cant imagine they would go for magilton. Im sure they would be able to get a manager with a higher level of experience.

I think SS2 has been at the glue again!

We have had problems with temperamental croats before at Celtic Park. Remember Viduka? As for Magilton, don't make me laugh, Michael O'Neill at Shamrock Rovers would be a better bet.

PS Where does all this leave Neil Lennon? Surely the new manager, whoever he is, would see the benefit of keeping Neil on?

[lfdown2]

Tony what was the benefit of neil do you think (not saying there was none just interested to what you think it would be?)

Was thinking that earlier myself Tony...

Neil Lennon is actually a very intelligent guy and is experienced, he has worked under some good management teams and would be worth keeping around whoever comes in

[T Fearon]

Neil is, what Tommy Burns was, a celtic man through and through, and can influence both manager (particularly one of a non Celtic mind) and players alike. I think there should be a role for him in the new regime at Celtic Park.

Ditto, I would hate to see him go, imo he does a job similar to Ally McCoist at Mordor.
