Im not going to comment on situation with Deila again, for number of reasons already discussed.
There is too much interference at boardroom level and beyond. Things are going to get worse before they get better unless problem is addressed. (Desmond and Lawwell removed).
Deila was always going to be fighting a losing battle from day 1 when he didn't have a say in his backroom team, transfers and backing from the board. John Park has far too much control over team and is making an ar$e of it. (Oops forgot HenriksTongue hero JP is not allowed to be slated)
The posters on here crying for Deilas head, don't seem to realise Deila was not first choice replacement for Lennon. A few shunned job before he was approached. My point is if Deila is sacked no matter what your opinion is of him, expect a substandard replacement and for problems to still be there and to get worse. This faction if Deila leaves can expect likes of Owen Coyle as new manager. A failure, but cheap option for the board.
I said it numerous times before the start of last season, club needs overhaul off the pitch before we can progress.

Maybe a cheap new option wouldn't pick a goalie who's scared to command his box or continually put effe on the park or properly coach zonal marking or settle on player positions or drop out of form players.

Does JP pick the team? Does he pick the formation? Does he make changes to the starting line up every game? I've said before I'm not his biggest fan but you're obsessed with the guy. Did you praise him when we signed guys like VVD and Bitton?

Sorry meant to add if you think you'll manage to oust Desmond and lawwell I think you are going to be disappointed but fan unrest may force them in to rethinking their approach which usually means appointing a new manager as the current one is failing. I understand his hands are tied but Ronny is still failing the big matches so far.

DN you continually want the head of DD and PL, some may say quite rightly so. But what if they are replaced and the new men are even worse. You are basically judging them on last year or two when they have been here for 15 years or so.
They have been successful as well as not successful, just like John Park.
As I usually say to you "Be careful what you wish for".

Jim1972 since Forster left, we have no keeper that I have faith in that can do that. Dropping out of form players I agree, but problem is the amount of deadwood we have at the moment. Got no faith in our defence and any player brought in to replace an out of form defender, is going to be worse. DD and PL unfortunately can see here for forseeable future. Only way I can see change is if we lose league this season.
Rayman my judgement of DD and PL goes further back than 2 seasons. Goes back to the day Tony Mowbray was appointed manager.

Dn30, I remember at the time a lot of supporters wanting mowbray as manager, and where very happy to get him (I wasnt one of them btw), and did celtic not pay west brom £2m compensation, so hardly a cheap option.
your argument for not changing RD, is also valid for DD, and PL, who would take over, and do a better job?

Jbhoy I know Mowbray wasnt a cheap option. He was an expensive option, brought in at a time where the league was far more competitive. He just got WBA relegated, yet board thought he was the man to take club forward. From thst decision I've alway maintained time for DD and PL to go.
