If/when minds at Celtic get around to considering a replacement for Alan Thompson it would also be wise to recognise the international nature of the game. Lennon, Mjallby, Parker and Thompson were all football sons of Martin O’Neill, rooted in the domestic tradition of the game (even the Swede).
Football philosophy drifts slowly between national boundaries carried by successful coaches and players. Right now the ambitious teams in the world are trying to ape the Barcelona/Spain model, the success of which is hard to argue with, but whether we look for a Spanish influence or not, we must surely look for a voice to challenge what the current management team regard as orthodoxy, in all aspects of the job.

==========================================
You’re not the only one. I can’t get in to following Drama series on TV. I do enjoy a good comedy for light relief from this mental world but the ones people go on about (and it ain’t just CQN, I’m never done being told at work to watch this show, or that box set – where the hell do they get time?) not for me.
We should start a chat about what programmes we enjoy not watching……..
best film I’ve never watched
the blues brothers
or so I’m told

I,m only 50% sure of going to Munich in late August.
To be honest, I think the huddle has providied enough info for the time being.
Once I’m committed to going, I’ll maybe pester you again, if that’s ok.
Hope your ankle gets better.

A policy which has it’s short term advantages
Long term it will prove to have been foolish …..hopefully :-))

My dear,dear,dear,friend..The Singing Detective
Hiya,Pally??
Glad tae meetya.
Ye hiv jist forwarded a Very Intriguin’ Thought.. which..oan HERE…
IS as Rare as a Glesca Catholic School Kid.. Who DISNAE End….his/her Sentences… wi’ a…:”But”!
So, ye think that Mr. Strachan ,wid be a good fit fur Thommo’s Replacement?
Mr.Strachan, knows the game, awe right.. but..
Ah am convinced o’ that..
However.. he has far too strong a Personality,in Ma opinion.
He and Neil, would not gell, too well.
Na.. Ah couldnae imagine the Two o’ Them. Eatin’ aff the Same Plate.
If ah Wur King..
Ah wud leave the coaching staff,as it is Noo.
We really, don’t need so many guys aroon Neil.
Neil, and The Big Swede , wid dae me, fine.
Ah am against running a Fitba’ Club, by Committee.
Only Wan Big Kahuna is needed.. any mair is jist windae dressing.. Did Stein, Need A whole platoon o’ Advisors?
Did Monty?
Did.. Napoleon?
Did ..Hitler?
Well.. oan second thoughts…. Hitler,actually…. Did.. But,
Let’s Get back tae Fitba’…
Ah think that Neil, is a Great Manager.. he wull only improve wi age.
Sure, Ah hiv hid Ma criticisms of his Lifestyle,in the Past.
But, as faur as Doing his Job, as a Manager..
Ah am Mighty Pleased wi’ Neil.

Maybe best to call once the fixtures are out, if that’s ok.
Thanks for your help so far.
Kilbowie Kelt…@18:10.
I divine from your posting that you were a big fan of “The Klangers”…way too Leftie for me…The “Soup Dragon” clearly was intended to represent The Unions,sabotaging Britain’s Golden Industrial Future….and the ‘Soup Dragon” is quite obviously Arthur Scargill.
‘Magic Roundabout’?…. Don’t even go there….
With all this subtle brainwashing of our young impressionable children,it’s no wonder that so many of our posters grew up to be foam mouthed swivel-eyed lefties….intent on destroying our Enchanted Sceptred Isle….
Oliver Postgate has a lot to answer for…
May he linger on the Fouth Ring of Dante’s Inferno..along with Minty Moonbeams…For All Eternity…
Are we Pinkety ?
Great idea from Paul67? – but it’s not going to happen, much more likely that when you appoint someone he’ll be subservient, or like minded to the way you think i.e. Neil Lennon thinks.
This will be a low key appointment, if and when Alan Thompson is replaced.
Petethebeat
I will call and get the lay of the land

Anyone know if we brought in a direct replacement for Gregory Dupont?
I think Lennie was meeting up with him at Lille the other week.

Thank you kind sir

Re Thomo’s departure
It will be interesting to find out the reasons behind the decision
It looks like a summary dismissal , which wouldn’t happen just through a difference of opinion re tactics etc … Usually more to do with conduct etc
Surprised he wasn’t put on gardening leave ala Mowbray
Generally puzzled re the whole thing … I hope it’s resolved soon
Gotta go..
Seeya..Folks!

I would be the same,just can’t watch sci-fi and other fantasy shows that are not true to life,i think that real life is much more interesting.
My missus wouldn’t miss that Game of Thrones or True Blood though,but i wouldn’t watch them for a bet.It’s all nonsense,but maybe that is due to lack of imagination on my part.
Don’t see the harm in other folks enjoying these shows,or discussing them here or anywhere else.
Each to their own.

Not really that much of a puzzle
work colleague doesn’t follow the businesses plan, is asked to attend meeting, refuses, and is sacked. Everyday occurrence really.
I am now bored. Away to get a life.
Byeee
The huddle
What business plan ?
I can see it in business … However in football coaching ?
Btw summary dismissal is to be avoided . , unless an employer is on very solid ground

Not to throw the cat amongst the pigeons but I assume you and Kilbowie don’t like anything that…………….. fact
STV reporting that Juarez is away……..shame I liked the look of him when he arrived.
Efrain Juarez has left Celtic to join America in the Mexican championship.
The 24-year-old came to the SPL in 2010 after impressing at the World Cup in South Africa, but quickly fell out of favour.
The Mexican international spent last season on loan at Zaragoza, where he was reunited with former international coach Javier Aguirre.
A statement on the America website said: “The club is aiming to arm themselves in the best way possible for the 2012 Apertura and we welcome the arrival of our third signing, Efrain Juarez from Celtic.
Juarez has 39 caps for his country, scoring a single goal during a 5-0 defeat of El Salvador in 2011.
If it was something like Alan undermining Neils authority at work due to a close personal friendship. Then we will never find out.
I dont like buddy acts anyway.

In your line you know more about this, than most.
But let’s just say had Celtic wined and dined AT, flown him on a luxury holiday to Barbados lavished hime with gifts – then told him he’s been dismissed, MSM would still try to whip the Celtic faithful into frenzy, by saying it was badly handled.
AT was sacked, and when you lose your job at Celtic, there is a reason.
I’m happy with that, and will remember Tommo for his on field contributions ( his goal against Barca) as a Midfielder and as a coach, for two trophy winning seasons.
Kojo…
WGS has a great enthusiasm for coaching….and he is one of the game’s thinkers…
He has maintained a keen interest in the game…during his ‘sabbatical’…and gets himself around to watch games far and wide…
He is covering the EUROS as a pundit..
His Scouting intelligence can be most useful to us…
I think some folk are just too quick to denigrate WGS….because he is a Wee Red Heided Scotsman….
He is constantly furthering his education,rather than letting complacency set in…
I don’t think NL would now feel challenged by WGS’ presence…
Besides,WGS seems to have opted for a sensible work/life balance….and does not appear to be attracted to the prospect of Club Management,at this time in his life..
I think WGS is a much more intelligent chap,than most posters on here would. give credit…
Jock Stein…?
Horse & Buggie Days,Palomine…..

It’s summer and cqn books again.
Why not try Norman Mailer’s ‘An Advertisement for Myself’ – if it’s still in print?
It’s a hotch potch of articles and observations but there’s some great stuff in it – the Kennedy nomination in LA, ‘Death’ – an essay on boxing, the Mafia and a lot of issues which dominated the later sixties.
Lenny is boss he has a plan, those under him follow it.
Kojo..
* and NL cannot perform his duties as a manager…AND spend so much time coaching on the training ground…even if he were minded to…
There needs to be an equitable distribution of duties,within the coaching staff…
Now who gets to hold the Clipboard at matches…now AT has departed ??

Hitler had some of the finest war-time generals in the history of man-kind at his disposal – he just wouldn’t listen to them.
The British general Montgomery was a buffoon of the highest order.Ernst Rommel considered him to be a total incompetent.

It was the buckle shoes that caught my imagination.
Talking of Hitler did anyone watch that programme abou HItler’s children? Fuk me that was sad and very real.

Not sure mate,could have been Napoleon.
Churchill was another bumbling idiot,not on the same scale as Hitler,but he made some unbelievably incompetent decisions – Gallipoli being the most obvious.
