Celtic's Next Permanent Manager

[Dunning1874]

I assume the Celtic manager top trumps thread was lost to a cull long ago? I'm thinking Clarke would have had quite a low score, what with being Scottish.

[San Starko Rover]

Can’t see it being Clarke,

He’s spoken out against both sides of the Old Firm for their sectarianism so would be pretty hypocritical to then join one of them.

He didn’t like the abuse he received from Rangers fans this would be much worse as Celtic manager.

His family are down South so probably wouldn’t suit him.

If they hire him after Euro 2020 (are the dates for this even 100% with Covid?) he’s not available until at least June as unlikely as it is it’s not impossible he take Scotland further.

If he quits before Euro 2020 the abuse he received from Rangers fans would be nothing compared to what he’d get at every club in Scotland.

He’s always managed the underdog so is an unknown with a team expected to win every week.

He might get results but is it the kind of football the Celtic fans want to see, they’ve chased managers before for not playing “The Celtic Way”

I wanted us to go for Rose when he was at Salzburg as replacement tor Rodgers.

Hes way beyond our reach now

 

Especially since he's agreed to become Dortmund manager next season.

Has Mark McGhee thrown his hat in the ring yet? Obvious choice.

Frank Lampard would be great, Roy Keane similarly, anything else is a disappointment now I've considered those 

Sky sports would w**k themselves into a coma over the thought of Gerrard v Lampard in the old firm.

[G51]

If it's Lampard then that's good news for the prospects of keeping Gerrard at Rangers long-term.

Because when one goes, the other stays.

That should really be in the Gold forum

Malky Mackay confirmed.

It took you 9 minutes to come up with that photoshop effort?

I agree with every part of that except for the part about being at a team who expects to win every week. I’d assume that working with Mourinho at Chelsea that was a constant pressure that they had to deal with. Of course he wasn’t the manager at Chelsea.

No. More like four minutes.

Aye, whenever they lose to Rangers he could say "It's only three points".

I'm hearing Steve Clarke after the Euros which would be brilliant for chances of getting two. 

Halfway to Hearts' four. 

[true fan]

Not saying I would go for him but has Gary Neville been mentioned?

[senorsoupe]

The media keeps throwing big names out there like Jesse Marsch but Celtic being Celtic they will probably go for a cheap option instead of paying a buyout to another club

Wonder if Thierry Henry would be interested. Just quit Montreal as he wants back to UK. Massive name, absolutely everything to prove in management and being in a two horse race could give him that opportunity. 

You shouldn't, of course.
