Vacancy for a coach to challenge O’Neill orthodoxy

914

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.

    Speaking of luck – I always maintained that WGS carried an extraordinary amount of good luck – The think about luck though,is this – luck doesn’t last forever,and when his luck eventually did run out…he was cruelly exposed for what he was – an total and utter incompetent.

    Efrain Juarez moves from Celtic to Club America in his homeland

     

     

    Mexico Primera Division side Club America claim they have signed defender Efrain Juarez from Celtic.

     

     

    Juarez arrived at Celtic on a three-year deal from UNAM Pumas after an impressive spell at the 2010 World Cup.

     

     

    However, he failed to push into the Celtic first team and was loaned out to Real Zaragoza on a season-long loan deal last year.

     

     

    The 24-year-old made 11 starts and nine sub appearances under Neil Lennon after being his £3m move in 2010.

    Sitting here quietly lurking but I have to say your last comment is very harsh indeed, in my opinion of course. Looking back, I’m sure I really enjoyed luckilly winning 3 titles in a row.

    I would think that any manager who found out that Henrik Larson was part of his new team, rather than discover he just left would be considered the lucky one.

    You don’t win 3 titles in succession and get to the last 16 of the CL twice purely on luck.

    If he had been allowed to continue in the job,the club would have been in the First Division by this stage.

    The first two of the three titles – the huns were in total disarray – my granny could have won those titles – the third title – we were blessed.

     

     

    The CL – It’s down on paper – last 16 twice,I cannot argue with that.

    Regression is the opposite to progression.

     

     

    Both the club and the team were going backwards at a rate of knots.I went to far too many games when he was at the helm.Torture it was.

    Always thought Big Eck was a lucky manager.

     

    ——–

     

    When Rankers get stripped of their ill-begotten gains, Big Eck’s track record of relegation with Hibs and Birmingham (not once, but twice) will show him up for what he is – a poor manager who has left every team in a worse position than they were before he took over:

     

    Motherwell, Hibs, Rankers, Scotland, Birmingham & Villa

    You admit that qualification for the last 16 of the CL wasn’t luck. So which is it to be mate?

     

    Aye some of the football was chewing gum for the eyes but that doesn’t equate to being lucky.
