ED007 I know all the polls were fazed out because of a lack of time by ED001 but please could we have a one off poll on our manager.
Do Celtic fans have confidence in him leading us in CL qualifiers next season. Yes or No?
{Ed007's Note - I think THIS should work, Tim.}
27 Nov 2015 21:00:22
No. I don't believe he will. He has promised many things since he joined and has delivered little. Now he is promising we will qualify for CL next year! For all of those who claim RD is being given players rather than choosing players, then it's about strange that he categorically states we will get to CL next season? So he must feel he can get there with by and large his current squad. We can continue to let him talk up the future or we can get real and look at this objectively . He is not up to the job!

Johnnymac What do you expect Ronny to say . Of course he has to be confident and say we will qualify . Imagine the outrage if he said that we wouldn't.
27 Nov 2015 22:10:56
Rd needs to go but the real problem lies within Celtic are board and majority shareholder DD has no ambitions for Celtic other than to make a few quid, I hope Mr Desmond reads this as he will known as the man who held Celtic back, while his kin fight over his billions, do the right thing and sell our club to someone with a bit of guts and ambition you parasite. Now is the time we fans stick together and rid our club of this cancer.

OldBhoy the question asked was do Celtic fans have the confidence in RD to get us to CL next year? So don't comment on my post. Do you think he will get us there next yeR? It's a simple question.
27 Nov 2015 22:59:38
Johnnymac, I will comment on any post here subject to editorial approval . I see no reason why we shouldn't qualify for next season's Champions League .
Qualifying, of course won't depend on what we think or Deila says just now .

Cheers ED007 only 11 votes so far but most say NO.
{Ed007's Note - And that's you using all your different accounts! (giggle)
27 Nov 2015 23:11:28
Do I trust him to get us there? Quite simply no. He definitely could but you wouldn't catch me putting a penny on it tbh.
27 Nov 2015 23:20:18
Yes spot on only another 45 to go lol.
{Ed007's Note - That's nearly as many as ggk from the zombie's site had.}

Has to be a no confidence for this one. Sure, it might all click but not much evidence from what I see. I do not think he has authority in the dressing room let alone on the park where he appears tactically baffled in Europe. Still not sure who we could attract as a replacement but someone is getting payed more than me have a list of candidates. Like others have said, scouting and investment are relevant issues but I don't want to see another game where Celtic look so woeful on the main (well as close to main as we can get just now) stage. It's still not even 3 years since we beat an amazing Barcelona team. If we had scraped past Malmo this year, that group could have left us with a good of -25+.

Personally speaking I see polls as pointless as they don't tell you anything other than how a particular group is feeling at a particular time.
Anyone who bases their opinions or actions on the result of a poll is a moron (hope you are reading this Mr Cameron) . We often see people saying we should do something because a high number of people in a poll think we should. However, this is wrong because the form of argument they are using is known as "argumentum ad populum" and it is well known to be fallacious.

Deila has to put a positive slant on all his objectives and targets or he simply talks himself out the door.
Realistically the supporters can see how far backwards we have slumped in the past few years and this season is the clubs worst in Europe for many a year and no matter how you dress it up - we are a very ordinary side.
The supporters in general have never accepted 'ordinary' at our very extraordinary club and they will decide his fate.
I would like to add that the arrogant and unpopular Collins does nothing to help the managers cause as well.
28 Nov 2015 13:18:03
Ed, too late now but I think the poll should have been do YOU have confidence as opposed to do Celtic fans. I personally think he might surprise a few people but I don't think Celtic supporters (in general) think we will qualify.
Just my take on it.
28 Nov 2015 14:18:47
Based on past performance and current performances there is little to substantiate a positive spin on our qualification hopes. The only saving grace was the champions pathway but we're now hoping I avoid Slovaks poles swedes Croatians Ukrainians Serbians and Belorussians
Of course if we only had to worry about the Welsh Northern Irish and Faroese we'd have a right good chance
We should urge FIFA to create a pathway for clubs like no other whereby we can qualify by beating Glasgow City girls in a 2 leg affair
I am with ED. the problems run deeper but wire I disagree with ED I do believe that there is a better managerial trio out there who would prosper more ( with what we have and with the limitations imposed from on high )
We have taken " living within our means" too far and the fan base will slowly disintegrate back to 22000 hard core of we continue on this path of constant rationalisation
Hope puts backsides on seats. Progress is tangible and felt. Where there is positive forward momentum the fans will show up. The issue is that it's all backwards and that is where we lose hope and ultimately interest
If the board said we need a full stadium to give you a team worth shouting about and getting excited about we would be there in our droves and we'd dog deep
The issue nowadays is that we are being fed line after line about progress and team building. This is a brazen lie and the deluded hang on every word spouted by a very clever and manipulative board and management team.
