Tricoloured ribbon, I 100% agree, the manager sets the tone, tactics game plan the players execute. This guy has a Rigid system he never changes, must be the easiest team in the world to set up against and train for matches. He is an idealist. Players have not been performing and are to blame, yet they walk into the team every week, Brown, Biton, Johansen to name but 3, these 3 are in a midfield of 17 picks, hows it not the managers fault ? he picks off form players every week.
The defence is shambles, Boyatta is as poor a player as I have ever seen in a Celtic Shirt, and ive seen Steve McAhill !
Weeminger,
I hear what your saying fella but for me the fact that Izzaguire had been utterly woeful forced Deila’s hand and he gave Tierney a chance because of this.
Luckily for him it has turned out to be a shining light amidst the garbage around him.

I assume from your post that you hope and think Ronny is an honourable man that he may resign. I also think he should but I don’t believe there is a cat in hells chance he will, Ronny for all his faults has a belief, however misguided that he is doing the right thing and it will all come good. That is why the the board have to act now and get rid. We are at risk of capitulating and losing this league, the players have given up on this manager and his team and their professional pride if they have any will not be enough to see it though yesterday was testament to that.
I predict that RD will manage a team that puts us out of Europe (and I don’t mean he’ll still be with us).
He’s failed with us. I think he probably can be a success with a team that is able to give him the time. That’s not us. At least not at the point when he arrived. Perhaps if he’s come the second they were liquidated. However a team where he’s not expected to win the majority of trophies might suit him.
Good luck to him in the future.
TRICOLOURED RIBBON on 18TH APRIL 2016 10:02 AM
My point is he stuck with him. Other managers recently wouldn’t.
WEEMINGER,
Yes.That’s fair enough.
Cultsbhoy
You don’t get rid, it’ll handicap us for years down the line.
It seems Celtic don’t even seem to terminate contracts when some players could be accused of misconduct?
To compound Ronny Deila’s alleged tactical ineptitude etc etc, he has bought and inherited players that yesterday finally underlined aren’t good enough.
We do not have manager in waiting, so it would be a caretaker, and what exactly would that achieve?
The likeliehood of a Ronny Deila successor is my concern, and not the need for overnight RD termination.
With this PLC we are likely to be relying on Owen Coyle’s granny again, it’s time for them to be stopped in their tracks before they give us another Tony Mowbray and the decline really commenced.
Now is not the moment, because they are incapable of recruiting.
The disconnect between the Board, PLC, those that run the club and the supporters is as wide as the grand canyon.
What good does keeping RD until the end of the season accomplish, if we’re not four up in the first 20 minutes there’ll be howls of derision, which will manifest onto the precious players (who cant take responsibility for their own actions) and adversely affect the game.
I want us to win this league anybody else?????

On yesterday’s pre match feature with Broonie, did you notice his comment re the Diouf match? He spoke about how the managers attitude and tactics got them through those kinds of games, and specifically referred to being allowed to socialise and bond off the field. A thinly veiled dig at current policy in my opinion , and perhaps indicative that his previous comment about WGS being the best manager he’s had was perhaps another!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If players are shirking their duties because they canny go for a pint,they should just go for a pint anyway.
Have as many as they like,in fact. And don’t bother coming back.
They might not like it,but they are well-paid to be professional. And that means,at the very least,100% at all times.
weeminger
I think you are right. RD will be a success somewhere else. He has failed and we can’t afford to give him any more time. The job was too big, too soon for him.
I wish him all the best for the future, but he has to go very soon.
I like RD and would have loved him to have been a success but he hasn’t. He’s lost three cup semi finals in a row to lesser teams. Will be interesting to the clubs response.
I do feel a little sympathy for Ronny, a manger is easier to get rid of than a few players with long contracts who down tools.
If Ronny has lost the dressing room then I blame the players not the manager, if players are kept on against the managers wishes I blame the executive not the manager.
However if the manager continues to use the players who continually let him down then that’s his own fault, and as far as I can see that is exactly what he has done.
Hi Dermot ..
Not sure if you were at Hampden yesterday, so just to let you know
the club you own lost 5-4 on penalties to Sevco ..
Sorry to break this news to you whilst you probably picking new
Salt & Pepper holders or new bed linen for your Sandy Beach Resort ..
Ps .. I usually can’t be arsed going to most of the games just like yourself,
I mean who would want to watch that crap every week ..
Anyway enjoy your golf today and don’t worry about your club I’m sure
Peter has everything under control as always ..
BOURNESOUPRECIPE
That’s been my concern about getting rid of RD. That Lawwell will f… up his next recruitment.
If he wants a lapdog,go to a pet shop. We need a manager,someone who decides who is going to be available to pick from,and then picks the best from that.
What we don’t need is another manager who allows his players to be forced out the door,and cravenly accepts those foisted upon him.
MARTYBHOY59 on 18TH APRIL 2016 10:03 AM
Yes I believe that Ronny will know his time is up. I would expect him to go as soon as we win the league.
Sacking him now would be detremental imo. Winning the league and parting amicably would be my preference.
And then the real cull will come for non trying, gutless, highly paid bottlers who masquerade as Celtic football players.

Yer last paragraph hits the nail bang on the head.
Deila’s loyalty to failures inthe team will seal his fate.
Mowbray – Disaster
MON – Pure gold but ultimately unaffordable manager
Strachan – chance meeting at a race course – probably best results/worst football combination I can think of..ever
Lenny – stand in who proved so good he had to be given the job
Deila – Assistant manager nobody wanted so was appointed as Manager
I wonder who DD and PL bumped in to yesterday? That’s as good an indicator of who we will get next…or has John Kenedy been tarred by the brush of Ronny and Johnny and desreves a chance to be caretaker (and then ultimately appointed?)…
This is the level of planning we are subject to foir £1m/year
“Murdo Fraser”
*shudder*
It was suggested to me by one of Thems that – although They know their limitations – if the two managers were swapped, the result would have been significantly different.
I am not inclined to argue.
Celtic manager.
To quote a Former player. Maybe we need another C@nt.
HH.
Greenpinata,
I agree, I’d go further and suggest any transfer money is used to pay off contracts of those who refuse to go. We have plenty of talent in the squad who want to play and don’t care who the manager is, they simply want to play in the Celtic first team jersey.
Of all the suggested replacements that have been touted, Brendan Rodgers is the only one that I like the sound of. Even then, I’m not 100% convinced he would be a success with this squad of fearties and the current recruitment policy.
To those you say RD is unlucky he inherited the players he is a nice guy etc – forget that rubbish
He has – him alone – played the same system with the same boring outcome for 2 years and learnt nothing
He does not have the intelligence to change a game to motivate players to build a team
He is not good enough full stop
But that is not the worry !!!!
The worry is our Board don’t know this

I thought Thomson gave the majority of the 50/50 decisions in favour of them. That’s what it felt like in the stadium and those around me were in agreement. In saying that he’s had worse games.
CultsBhoy can not relate to Celtic Board ambitions on or off the park on 18th April 2016 10:18 am
I wonder who DD and PL bumped in to yesterday?
Worryingly Malky Mackay was there!!
Paul 67.
Last week you talked about marking the cards of some folk who were making ill founded statements about the Board.
I hope that yesterday you marked the cards of a few guising as having the interests of Celtic and the fans at heart.
Cults…,
You’ve got to be kidding, Kennedy ?
Ffs man another cheap option novice.
67ECW,
I disagree, the worry is the board do know, and it’s all going to plan.
Canamalar @ 10:12
A fair comment among some of the hysteria. Interesting that Tricoloured Ribbon decided that only the negative part was worthy of comment.
JJ
PS Although I think your comment is fair, I do not necessarily agree with it 0:-)
RD, JC and maybe some other backroom staff will go, timing is always essential and it should be this week, however, whoever the new manager is they are extremely unlikely to have a mass cull, unfortunately.
Some will go, Forrest, Emilio, Cole, Bitton, Johanssen, Efe, Ciftci, Scepovic possibly Lustig, Blackett, some will play less and less, Commons, Brown – theres your new managers transfer budget.
i like Big Wavy’s line up and positions needing addressed
Gordon
New RB/Janko Erik Big Croat/New CB? KT
Ajer New CM Rogic/Allan/Christie/Armstrong/Henderson
/McGregor
Roberts Griffiths New attacker
and somebody to coach/organise/motivate them regularly
Cultsbhoy
The profit made on the sake of VVD , VW and FF has been wasted on rubbish
Carlton Cole….ffs
We now have a poor , bloated squad devoid of any quality ….and nobody worth selling
Lawwell has cocked it up ….he must take the fall
BMCUW
As long as you don’t have an issue with the fact that there is a football hierarchy structure at every major club, where players are recommended, and the manager decides.
That is the way it is at Celtic, and Neil Lennon confirmed that he had the final say on whether Celtic signed a player or not.
If you object to who you think has the final say, we have a different problem.
I have voiced my opinion to have Michael O’Neil as our next Manager – I like what he has done with NI
But my desire to have him as our next Manager is based on who we are capable of getting
Obviously Mourinho even Ranieri – but I am being realistic
O’Neil lives in Edinburgh he allegedly misses day to day involvement
So my desire is balanced with likelihood
I have also assumed the only reason RD is still around is because we cannot get O’Neil until after the Euro’s (700k Euro get out clause?)
BUT after yesterday my mind has gone into free fall
I’m now thinking FFS go get Lennon now – we could lose the league yes I’m panicking yes I’m paranoid
But the reality is thats what Ronny has done to me – useless clueless idiot

JJ,
Which part don’t you agree with ? and why ?
Although it doesn’t feel like it, yesterday’s reverse may be a blessing in disguise. It may, over the summer, bring about some of the changes that a lot of supporters have called for. Season Ticket money will be due soon. Those who want change now find themselves in a position of strength. Thousands of fans are feeling aggrieved this morning after yesterday’s capitulation against a club with far fewer resources than we have. That means that there are thousands of Celtic fans at the moment who will feel that the last thing they want to do at the moment is part with hundreds of £££s for a season ticket. By withholding their money they have a chance of scaring and forcing the powers-that-be at Celtic into making some or all of the changes that many have been demanding.
What are these changes that many have been demanding. According to posts on CQN this season, I would say that the most frequent demands for change are:-
* a new manager
* the sacking of Peter Lawell
* backing a new manager properly by providing the resources he needs to compete effectively at home and in Europe
* the Club’s approach to Resolution 12 and towards the SFA/SPFL
If thousands of fans ignore the season book renewal form and hold on to their money, the Board will start to panic. Once deadline for renewal day passes the alarm bells will really sound. The Board will then have to actually do something to reverse the situation. They’ll have to actually try to find out what is ailing us. What do we, the fans want? I would suggest that will be the time to demand action on the points above and to keep your money in your pocket until you get it. I won’t be rushing to renew my ticket.
Have PL, Rd and DD resigned yet?
Okay emotions run high after games .. I was in hospitality yesterday and had an opportunity to discuss RD with an agent of one of our team. The agent said that the older experienced players have far to much to say for them selves and speak over RD in every team meeting showing no respect for the manager. I said that this was the managers fault as he is not strong enough to deal with that. I would also say that RD is totally out of his depth and has to resign or be sacked by COB today. We were outplayed by a team who were more astute tactically. Every time they got a bye kick or there goalie had the ball both The RB and LB went to the corner flags to receive the ball griffiths was doing doggies to try and close them down himself RD did not have the know how to push our wingers up on to there full backs and for our full backs to push up on to the midfield area. A number of times griffiths did well to close down the 2 FB but then Ball MOTM in my opinion or Halliday would leave them midfield area to go and receive the ball from the goalie. in an area as soon as one of our players closed them Downthey just passed to the Rangers player who was available and in space.It was so blatant I can’t forgive RD for such blatant incompetence That’s the reason our players were blowing out ther bums after only 70 mins was because they were being made to run there socks off in ones instead of in 3/4 to press the ball. That’s how you play against this tactic Even if we had win the game it was still a moral victory for the Huns IMO and it would just paper over the cracks on what is wrong at CP. Please RD go now and take JK and JC with you because they did not help you yesterday when we were getting run ragged. Rant over

Can we add a revamp of the scouting too?
