Some perspective first. Ronny Deila, manager of Norwegian champions Stromsgodset, is not about to be appointed Celtic manager. He does, meet the criteria, unlike the various one-season wonders cast aside from the English Premier League. I believe there are two other strong candidates, Ronny has no pre-eminence at this stage, but unlike the various ‘favourites’ who have appeared in recent times, at least he is a genuine possibility.
Stefan Johansen worked under Ronny immediately before joining Celtic, which gave club scouts an insight into the coach’s style of play. Stromsgodset are predominantly an attacking team, who press high up the field and pass quickly.
His players are dedicated athletes or they don’t remain his players for very long. He is also one of the game’s intellectuals, a former teacher – and what I’ve been asking for since Neil resigned – a student of the game. His attitude to his own role is one of continual professional development.
Ronny has a track record of improving players and improving teams. He is not a brand name, nor a shareholder’s whim. He is not being considered because he’s ‘pals with Peter and out of a job’.
Please bear in mind………..
Ronny Deila is only one of three genuine contenders Celtic are considering at the moment but all three match the same criteria. They are intelligent, technically adept, progressive, winners. Which has made me more excited than any of the names suggested so far.

Ha! 9 years coaching with 6 as a manager. The Daily Record definition of inexperienced.
Just read the article at the earlier link.
It mentions MONEYBALL!!! Keyser Zose I tell you.
So not only will Ronny leapfrog Stevie, it will all be Paul Brennan fault if it goes a over e.
sadiesbhoy
I could be wrong but I think BT was suggesting that Ronny is a shade, (in old money), over 6’2″.
DBBIA that was part of it but the main reason for his award was for the invention of the assembly line which Hitler not only used for Trucks but also put to good use in the production of ammunitions and combat vehicles & planes.

From the Daily Record who are “shocked” at the possibility of Ronny Deila emerging as a candidate – i.e. they did not have a clue what was going on:
“The Scottish champions had been hoping to land a box-office name in a bid to boost season-ticket sales.
But they have already seen moves form Parkhead icon Henrik Larsson and former Manchester United skipper Roy Keane falter.
However, it now appears they are ready to risk appointing another inexperienced coach, just as they did when Lennon was handed the manager’s role back in 2010.”
————————————————————————————–
Em, six years as a manager would be MORE than Larsson or Keane!
Do these clowns not even think about what they are writing?
Ron Manager…….marvellous……Swiss Tony No 2?
Paul67,
You should post a new blog saying one of the three candidates has dropped out – with of without a reason.
Then time Wilson and the SMSM to see how quickly the pick up the same news….just for fun

Yep saw the very same on twitter.
Mícheál Mac Eoghain @MrMacFunn 14m
@DTMagne Hi Magne. What’s your opinion on Ronny? A bright future?
Is that you asking him Q?
Gary 67
We took a risk on an inexperience guy called Stein who had never won a league title before. Pity that did not work out so well by at least Deila has won one title so there may be some hope.
I always appreciate how the Daily Record makes sure that we don’t get carried away with ourselves. It is a public service really.

Congrats to Zbyszek on 25 years free of suppression.

For those among us who need every Hoops manager to be affiliated with Celtic, thinkg the meedja call it Celtic-minded, I have to point out that our new bookies’ favourite’s name is an anagram of…

SFTB:
I agree, it is estimated squad value and some of those teams I’ve never heard of, but don’t forget too, we’ve slipped down on the ol’ Deloitte chart, and I think well slip further again with the next publication.
A Deloitte spokesman said: “Celtic are among the 40 highest revenue-generating football clubs in the world, having achieved £75.8m in 2012-13, an uplift of £24.5m (48 per cent) on the previous year.
“The revenue increase was driven by the club’s progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
“This delivered substantial UEFA central distributions and contributed to an increase in match-day revenues due to a higher number of home games at Celtic Park, with a total of 30 in 2012-13 compared to 24 in the previous season.
“While domestic league broadcast contract values are a fraction of those for leagues in larger European markets, restricting Celtic’s ability to compete for a top-20 position in the Money League, the club continues to benefit from a strong supporter base, with an average home league match attendance of 46,754.”
There are Statistics and there are damned Statistics.

@aHellofaBeating: On Deila; in my opinion best coach in Norway and one of most promising young coaches in Europe. Done wonders on tight budget in ‘Godset.

What happened to the substantial UEFA central distributions money?
Just cause your name’s in the frame it don’t impress me….
I have been bleating on for last few days that those being heavily touted are mere smokescreens…
I’m in my mind weighing up Ronny against Jackie…?
On 9 February 1942, soap rationing began in Britain and continues to this day in Ibrox.

Thanks for that.
I never blame the numbers for lying.
It is the liars who present the numbers in a lying fashion that deceive us.
From the papers
Tony Blair is a narcissist with a messiah complex who lives a tragic life, according to former friend Robert Harris.
I wonder what his enemies think??
Achh. Not to worry Gordon_J. UK won’t be around for much longer.

You, of all people, should know that modern substantial UEFA central distributions money is rubbish …
