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:

Has his team 5th in the J1 league this season and finished 9th last season. Does seem a very left field appointment.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:
