My favourite quote from O’Neil last night:

“The game is still quite simple… when in possession, do something”
Under Rodgers, I would have totally agreed

I do wonder if a MON-style more direct game might suit him better though?

But aye, in truth, he’s only in the team because Hatate’s form has been so horrific
We can (and do) talk endlessly about tactics, set-up, team selection

But so much of what makes any team tick comes down to confidence and team morale

MON lifted the team from the misery of the last few weeks

How long that lasts, who knows, but it’s been a really welcome change of direction ☘️
Enjoyed that tonight

Don’t really know what that means long or short term, but the team’s obviously needed a lift, and they got that tonight

Sunday a different kettle of fish
Aye, to be fair, enjoyed the second half of that game a lot

Few and far between this season
Nygren will come good. Absolutely convinced of it. Already contributing a lot to the team, but much more to come I feel

This has been good

Enjoying it, which I haven’t don’t for a while
Well, let’s just ignore the hideousness of that line-up and sing the Martin O’Neil song aw night! ☘️

Don’t say that. They might if they’re Irish 👍
Yup, absolutely. Multiple and obvious
Stand corrected mate! 🫡
Unfortunately mate, they could well succeed: only because of the paucity of quality in the league

The board and DD have spent a decade congratulating themselves on annihilating clubs with a fraction of our resources

By their standards, it’s almost impossible to fail
For all the talk of young, aspiring managers:

Kjetil Knutsen is 57

If appointed, he would be the oldest Celtic manager ever appointed
100% agree

The board still run the club like the 90s. Manager is the main man, and everyone answers to him

All other roles are still basically shrouded in secrecy. No DoF, no chief scout, none of the infrastructure of a modern club

I’d love it to change. But it won’t
Very possibly 😅

If the new manager comes in with a whole re-modelling of the management set-up, that would be brilliant for the club

I’m doubtful the board really want that though ☘️
Very possibly

If he’s not manager, of course 😅
I think that’s the problem - so are we 😅

Ange was great because he could just be a one-man band and drive everything with his experience and personality

I’d love a young aspiring coach. I just worry the infrastructure doesn’t support that

Convinced that’s why Howe turned us down
I feel the Celtic job is a job for an older manager, rather than a younger head-coach type

I get the desire for a more exciting appointment. In a perfect world, I’d love that

I just don’t think we have the infrastructure to support them

We still rely on old-school managers to run the whole show
Amount of fans willing to back Desmond’s role in all this is mental to me

Cannot understand it at all

Can only reason that their dislike for Rodgers supersedes everything else
Yeah, do think we probably need to move on from the same three managers we’ve had on rotation over the last fifteen years 😂
Have a horrible suspicion you may be right
I was divided on Ange, but yes: probably best to leave that as it was left

Not sure who I like at this stage. Need to dig in some more to the candidates
