I got told from a coach at a youth football tournament yesterday that Celtic are looking to bring in Ralf Rangnick, we seemly sounded him out in January to take over from Ronny but he wanted to see out the season with his current team RB Leipzig where he is also director of football they are currently second in the German second division and pushing for what would be a remarkable promotion as they were only promoted last year to the Second division.
He's a guy I've mentioned on here before good credentials! No idea if this is true or not could just be another name being floated about.

Like Jungle Bhoy's just said - Lambert's leaving Blackburn and is now the 7/ 4 favourite for the Celtic job. I'm not his biggest fan, simply because his teams don't pass the ball, it's a typical English style he plays. If he had someone like Rangnick as a director of football is be more into that, there's also the German connection. There's some great foreign managers I'd prefer, if we had to go UK/ Irish it would definitely be Brendan Rodgers for me. The biggest reason would be the style of football he plays. I'd like a director of football - someone that the manager agrees to/ recommends, with pedigree and a Rodgers type as a head coach. He's made mistakes but he plays the right way and has some great ideas. I've heard Lennon say he went to Reading to watch him coach and stole some of his ideas. I've heard Roy Keane say he's probably the best coach he's seen, and obviously Warburton was his youth coach when he was at Watford, and you can see he's copying him. The main thing the board need to do is show real ambition/ imagination. We need to change the whole perception of the club as much as anything, get a bit of a fear factor back, especially with the Champions League coming up. We need to pay whatever it takes to get the very best man who will come to us!

I agree with that Delphic, our next manager shouldn't depend on who will save us the most money, we need someone to really come in and ensure that we firmly remain the dominant force in Scottish football. The board need to see the bigger picture and back the manager and realise that there's a far better chance of a CL jackpot if we bring in better players.

I would have Rogers but I think if he starts producing the goods he will get too big for his boots and be looking to get back down south the first good chance he gets.

Delphic it doesn't matter about odds. Bookies will be covering themselves in case he takes job. doesn't necessarily mean it will be Lambert.

I would dearly hope that the board has got the message to get the right man in place and I am sure they know it's going to hurt there pockets in the short term Short term loss long time gain.

Yeah maybe we should go for somebody say like LVG, he might be available soon, would cost loads of money is a big name, might be a crap manager but surely if we pay him loads so that he can waste it must show that the club has some ambition at least.
