It is becoming quite clear that R D is not the future and his tenure is limited. So we have to consider the future who to become the next Celtic manager. Davie Moyes would be fantastic but expensive and would he like to come to Scotland, Paul Lambert soured his reputation at Villa and his comments about the old firm management pressures when he was riding high in England have also damaged his chances. There is however one candidate who chances are improving game by game Alan Stubbs I do not think we should change just now for a number of reasons; one let's see how Stubbs does in the league and cups: if he does very well then he would be a good choice, he knows the club, he understands Scotland and Scottish football politics. He was a very good defender and looks a very good coach and manager. the salary would be in our price bracket.

Jonace, I disagree. I would give RD more time but I would clear out JC who imo does not bring anything to the table (along with our defence coaches Kennedy and McGrain) . RD, to maintain his credibility, has to remain manager with an experienced assistant.

Really Moyes sacked at Utd went to Spain and about to be sacked there, if he came to Celtic likely to get his hat trick .
The thing is no matter who we get there is going to be a large risk of failure .
Maybe the board can find new legal money raising schemes or/and release more money to buy and pay higher waged players, if not getting a new manager won't necessary change anything .
We should stick with Deila and maybe the board could give Deila more backing by ensuring all players are singing from the one hymn sheet.

And how long did Moyes get at United?

We could always try one of those tax avoidance schemes so we could bring in players we can't usually afford.

I'm not willing to comment on RD being sacked or walking just yet because cards on the table I feel torn between the performances in Europe and whether he's been fed this by the board. However, hypothetically speaking if we found ourselves managerless come the end of the season what's the thoughts on Alex Neil? Not sure where his allegiances lie or whether he'd be interested.
{Ed007's Note - I'd rather sh1te on my hands and clap than see Alex Neil as CFC manager!}

Moyes spell at Everton can not be described as failure. He would certainly fit into the work on a shoestring mentality of Lawwell and masters. A lot worse could be chosen.

Ed what's the problem with Alex Neil? A think he would do well at celtic, and wouldn't cost a fortune, that's IF we're looking for a new manager any time soon. Can't see lawell admitting he got it wrong. That would put too big a dent in his ego. Alex Neil is a logical move for me. Young manager who's done well in both jobs he's been in and he's a tim. Not that it's a necessity but it does help since he would already have a knowledge of what's needed/expected.
{Ed007's Note - Nothing now I know he's a Tim!! Get him brought in ASAP and everything will be fine.}

Michael oneill should be in the running as the next manager! Man has worked wonders with a decent ni team which are of a similar standard to what celtic are in europe these days. Gets the maximum out of every player.

Aindoh, Moyes at Utd was an exception to most managers. Moyes was a complete and utter failure at every level. United had won the EPL at their leisure the season previous to him taking over . He immediately took them to mid table obscurity and also took them out of Europe with one of their poorest seasons in 20 years .
I am sure u are not trying to compare Moyes useless term at old Trafford with Deila who achieved European football after Christmas in his first season ( did MO'N WGS and N L achieve that ) the SPL and L C ( only a referee's biased howler ) prevented a treble . This season opened 6pt lead in SPL whilst playing extra games in Europe and u seriously want him out.

No, I was trying to compare how long Moyes got at Man U, to put his stamp on and improve the team and how long people, some people, are willing to give Ronnie to improve the team, I think its becoming like, it is no longer the point of the exercise to improve Celtic as a team, the point of the exercise now is to keep Ronnie as long as it takes, just to prove that he is infact a good manager (might be a long time) .
Think Man U will regret getting rid of Moyles, and replacing him with LVG,

Old Bhoy you are talking about raising more money so we can spend more on players? Raising money is not the problem but how do you pay it back or does that not matter? if we were qualifying for CL each season that would generate a minimum of £15 mill but we are not qualifying, so let's qualify and there is money available. So managers like Ronnie who have had 3 opportunities to qualify and don't do it do some serious damage to the club.

Aindoh, i follow Man Utd pretty close and Moyes was an insane failure. The things he uttered in media, how he man managed the players, the tactics, the style if football.
Moyes said after losing 0-3 against City that: "United should try to emulate what City is doing"?
Van Gaal is pretty special as a person, but he gets what he want and has got United back where they should somewhat. So no, i don't want Moyes anywhere near that great club!
I liked Moyes at Everton, but their football wasnt exactly pride and joy to watch and they do play a lot more entertaining now with Martinez, with almost the same results. don't see that he would do so much better with Celtic in Europe than Deila, with this squad.
