It wouldn't surprise me if Kevin Thomson ended up back at Hibs in a managerial role.
Really ?? What has he done to suggest he will be any good ? Genuine question....Quote:

Who cares? But if it's suddenly Jack Ross it'll give the hoards on here more to bitch and pontificate about.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Eddie Howe deal hasn’t come to fruition.
Always wondered if it was a smokescreen for whom Celtic was really after.
Is Jesse Marsch,currently at Red Bull Salzburg’s,still quoted as a candidate.

Thanks. That’s one of the big things when a coach manager can leave, the new person wants to bring in their own peopleQuote:

Celtic just seem to be an absolute basket case at the moment, in terms of how the club is being run. About 100 days without a manager, and their number 1 target, who was supposedly going to become the manager, has turned them downQuote:

Given how vocal Clarke was against sectarianism in the west when he was Killie manager I’d be disappointed in him if he was to turn a blind eye and join Celtc. Not to mention disappointed to lose him as Scotland manager.Quote:

They’re going to struggle for someone decent now. They’ve got 2 very tough CL qualifiers before the league gets going and are going to need to bring in something like 10 first team players. There’s a good chance of getting a doing in Europe and then the manager will already be under extreme pressureQuote:

Apparently highly thought of and keen to get a move to European football.
I wonder how difficult will be to get foreign managers in now with all the new work permit criteria?
Greek born so may make a difference.Quote:

No idea how he's got on since he left Australia though.
The criticism that could be levelled at him would be similar to Hughes and Stubbs Hibs teams - lovely passing and movement, lots of possession, but sometimes a lack of cutting edge - think Falkirk semi-final. With a budget that would allow him strikers and creative midfielders of the type Celtic can sign compared to the rest of the SPL, I doubt that would be an issue for them.
Surprised by Howe backing out, that agreement has been done since April apparently. This fella from Japan seems a strange one but best not to judge too quickly, Arsene Wenger joined Arsenal from Japan.
Management will be different work permit wise, plus he's an Aussie.Quote:

They’re not going to be going from Eddie Howe to Jack Ross. They’ll be going for someone with a bit of pedigree. They need it as they’ve got some job on their hands to catch Rangers.
As bingo said, guys like Lucien Favre are currently out of work. That’s the kind of guys they’ll be aiming for. It would be a spectacular climb down to end up with Jack Ross. The reaction of their fans would be a sight to behold though.
Do Celtic know what succession planing means?
Why would you want to watch players who continually let you down and you know will never turn up when you need them to?Quote:

I’m not sure if you’re genuinely questioning whether Eddie Howe has had a better career than Jack Ross or not and comes with a better pedigree or if you’re just needlessly looking for an argument..Quote:

You’re kidding yourself on if you think that Eddie Howe and Jack Ross would be similar standard appointments.
He saved them from relegation out the football league completely by overturning a 17 point deficit in half a season then got them promoted to League One. Then he left, came back and took them from League One to the Prem and kept them in it for 5 years.Quote:

Not sure but I read somewhere he spent £176 million at Bournemouth. Not sure how that compares.Quote:

Suggestion this morning in the press that the new potential Celtic manager doesn't have the correct UEFA coaching licence to work here 🤣

He will have to quarantine for 2 weeks too. Crazy situation for Celtic to get into it.
Can't for the life of me understand why they are bringing in somebody with no knowledge whatsoever of football here.Quote:

I think after what happened with Howe they feel under pressure to go for someone either left field or a big name. A big name would cost a lot more money than this guy. (Yes I know his name is also big)Quote:
