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.

O Neil rein AD
Italia Bhoy- steady on.. how much joy could a bhoy stand?
DBBiA@1245
That was sheer brilliance. PMSL.
On this latest “rumour”, if CQN was around in the early 60s, maybe big Jock would never have been appointed as he had very limited experience at the top level of Scottish football. :-)

My God, this man’s name is like something from Dan Brown!
Read the cryptic signs bhoys, read them!
I suppose it’s been mentioned before but I have to post it.
If Ronny gets the job will the youth teams be renamed

Ah the good old Celtic Aristocracy out in force.
Good old Peter…Best run club in Europe BTW.
Strategy imposed from on high, while those who fund the club are ignored, moneyball indeed.
One day soon….the walls of the PLC Bastille will be breached by a revolutionary force, in a mass insurrection….Liberty from Football Despotism will be proclaimed, the old regime of the business bourgeoisie will be overthrown.
Celtic will be run by Celtic supporters.
Ah well, I can dream

Deloitte latest remarks suggest that unless a club earns 40%+ of T/O from broadcasting – they will never feature in Top 20 list.
Serie A clubs are earning between 53-65% from broadcasting – what chance have we got (even with CL Group Stage qualification every year)?
It is firmly my intention to follow in the footsteps of Bonnie Prince Charlie and become a drunkard in Rome if AWE you Numpties decide to vote NAW.

It is the following twenty that have been the problem.

@DTMagne: Celtic made the approach last night. The Godset board have responded today with a hands off warning. Deila under contract until 2016.
Can you imagine if CQN was around at the time of the formation of Celtic?
I very much doubt Celtic would have been formed.
It’d probably be a right wing fascist annual tea party or something.
MWD says AYE
@DTMagne: Deila have informed Godset that he wants to become the Celtic-manager. Suprised if they dont agree compensation. Big opportunity for him.

(From previous ‘commonwealth city’ chat)
I live in a very different environment now on the outskirts of Aberdeen. The contrast between my own childhood and that of my 2 sons is stark. Great for my sons but an absolute source of shame on Scottish society. Watching commonwealth city it struck me that many of the children in Dalmarnock living with all the bad boys I remember from my own youth with none of the good bits.
I’d really love the games to regenerate Dalmarnock. However it was only chosen as it was a relatively cheap site with little in the way of organised resistance.
Some of the stats for that area are shocking. 2/3 of children in single parent households. 15 yr old males have a 50% chance of living to 65yrs.
Land purchased for £44k in 1988 sold in 2008 for £5.4m….
The programme was emotional for me to watch.
Its already in the Norwegian press here in Oslo that Ronnie Deila has been offered Celtic job
Mort
I think that sounds quite plausible. Perhaps Keane approached DD who, as a friend offered him an interview.
It does seem bizarre he was a candidate considering our club’s policy. I wonder about Martin O’Neill’s role in all of this. Paul yesterday alluded to some mischeviousness on his part by blabbing in the press conference. Perhaps he still has issues with some on our board. Either way it’s a relief Keane won’t be our manager.

It must hurt the Record readers to see the Celtic support excited by a candidate they’ve never heard of. Really underlines how irrelevant they are becoming compared to social media.

Record writers I mean
Ronnie Delia along with “he bends the ball round the Ran**rs wall”
Sounds good to me…
Young unknown up & coming foreign coach
“go get him”
It doesn’t work out
“Why were the board so blind going with cheap unproven option”.
Young unknown up & coming foreign coach
“Steer clear we need experience of CL”
It works out
“said it all along thats the way we should heve gone”
CQN just in case csc

Nah mate, got told to follow this guy and he translated a few of his tweets re Deila.

Sheik Yerbouti, no info.
KLV, we try.
RogueLeader, a Norwegian would.
Auldheid, shhhh.
Geordie Munro, absolutely. There is no leaking going on. One of the newspapers broke cover with this one today.
Tom Molach, I’ve seen them in the same room.
Syd Negakev, I may be forced to steal “Deila brings it all on himself”.
weeron, absolutely no way I suggested Celtic’s thinking on Keane was influenced by comments here. Keane was in the driving seat and asked not to be considered – which was what I wrote. Don’t know who else you have been reading but you’re not referring to me.
jimmci, hmmm.
Celtic Mac, you should hear her off mic. Fr Jack would blush.
Kojo, still never wrang! Indeed.

@CelticJournal: Media in Norway claim Delia has told Stromsgodset that he wants to join Celtic but compensation has yet to be agreed. http://t.co/hP4i0FqYSa

DBBIA,
While Judith gets the juices flowing, Carole’s happy countenace brighens up many a dull morning.
Strangely for me…id have a lot more respect for PL, if it turns out that he told DD, that Keane wasn’t wanted….We will see.
HH
Oh this makes me so much happier.
Sorry.
Countenance and brightens, of course. Have to get a wee spell checker.
Who do you want? A young ambitious manager/coach who is willing to go with youth,getting his players fitter to play a faster attacking game or an xEPL manager who’s teams played boring defensive football,I know who I don’t want,any sacked managers from the most overrated league in Europe.
We’re in for an ole Generation of Godset.

And you have an issue with that Mrs?

In fairness to Weeron ,I also thought that you wee inferring that the board had changed their minds on appointing Keane ,based on his lack of popularity from pistes on this site.
That may not be what you wrote ,but it is what I took from it .
Weeron is not alone in that thought.
