Theres no denying the vast change from the last few years in this squad.
It is mostly down to the structure the manager has brought in and its one they players have bought into.
Is this just down to it being a big name manager? one the players automatically respected more?
Were the ideals that Deila was trying to imliment in th e squad so different? for me there were 3 main reasons.
1. Ronny not having as clear an approach on the training ground that the players could understand.
2. A greater sense of the season being a foregone conclusion.
3. John Collins.

You're bang on there with the automatic respect bit. I don't think it's right, but it's a huge factor.

Br is Desmonds pick which gives him more respect / power . he will be allowed to do his job as he sees fit without the interference / hinderence / Influence of others (collins. Park lawell) . the job was too big a step up imo at that stage in his career for ronnie right/ correct ideas / philosophy but just not enough experience to implement them at a club our size?

think the ronnie bashing on this forum isn't right imo, he spoke the same way as rodgers on the game but little brats in our squad undermined him at every chance they got. he brought tierney thru, bought jozo, eric, brought us 2 titles, a cup, a good run in europe, but people will still look at his legacy as the manager that lost a semi to rangers. might be in the minority but ill never bash a celtic boss, even barnes, good luck ronnie wherever your travels take you.

It's not Rd bashing saying the current manager and team are far better than his.
I actually liked Rd but it was bordering pitty. He was well out of his depth but in fairness to him he didn't seem to have a great deal of support.
John Collins as a no 2 had me concerned from the start especially after his problems at hibs.
Player revolt didn't help, commons in particular.
What he is responsible for is, playing players injured.
Playing several players out of position, Armstrong an example.
He didn't stand up for himself against the board or players.
He didn't get his message across in terms of tactics.
Never qualified for CL.
Personally I'm much happier with the current set up, there seems to be a style and structure to what we are aiming for.

wasnt talking about this post tbh Tick, just in general pal.

Maybe Ronnies just no a good manager the football was dyer he's a decent guy but something wasn't right and we're now seeing how a top class manager works night and day for me.

He's a coach not a manager but that's something we should have identified before we brought him in.
Bhoywonder not having a dig mate I totally get your point it's harsh ripping him when he did actually do some good. It's just the current set up is night and day but I agree that I wish him all the best for the future.

Wish you would all stop tslking about Ronnie.

Hopefully when we are celebrating 10 in a row (for me the ultimate goal) we will appreciate Ronnie's two titles and place in history.
Everybody has their opinions on the guy, but he's left the club. I wish him well and hope he's part of the 10th title celebration party.
