Ed bit of a left field question here but do you think this season will be Neil Lennons last as manger of the club? My personal opinion is that it will be. If he delivers the 10 there is no better way to leave his tenure as manager and if he fails to deliver the 10 I don't think he'll have an option to stay. If I'm correct it begs the question who will we identify as our next manager. John Kennedy will be the favourite I'd imagine but he's not for me I'm afraid. I'd like to see us appoint someone who can take the club forward and bring us up to date with the modern day game.

I think so too Ice Man. It would be the perfect time for guys like Lennon, Brown and even Lawwell to make way for things at the club to be freshened up.

I like the idea of Eddie Howe coming in.

A wee bit too far ahead for me. I haven’t even got my Halloween costume sorted yet. 😬.

20 would ALLOW Celtic to re group and re set and re assess.
The 10 for us is key but in this landmark milestone season it also means that odd decisions will be made that won't align with a longer term view
For me, its about standards
It's about philosophy
Its about attraction
Its about progression
Its about personality
In my lifetime, there have been 3 managers that have lit me up
Burns
Oneill
Rogers
After 10, we can go with a younger manager who will have the time to make different decisions and blood youngsters
My hope, sincerely, is that we put entertainment and youth development at the heart of everything. rearing our own and blending that with the emerging international talent ( work permits allowing)
The fans will forgive a lost trophy or a gallant failure IF they think we are motoring in the right direction
IF we do the 10, C.V. impacts will disrupt the whole experience. . let's not kid ourselves. players are playing at half pelt and we are tuning in and tuning out in equal measure as the " product " is very very poor. the lack of atmosphere is very off putting
This will make the 10 difficult to do and weirdly, instantly forgettable
If we get to 10 there needs to be new, fresh impetus
NL could go
PL coukd go
DD could go
And we could see the likes of willie haughey come in, along with a petrov or Larsson and the youngest best talent in Scotland, ireland and Wales etc .
We need to look to ajax for inspiration and pay top class coaches top dollar to develop the cream of Scottish and Gaelic talent and see where that model takes us
Having a 60m wagebill is not the answer and I'm not too sure that a 40m wagebill would lose us leagues either.

Wim Jansen was also a gift from god.

Personally, I think he will go because the task ahead may be too much for him. Not because he does not have the ability to see it through; but because there are other factors that could derail the season and apart from that this will also be the last season for several players to leave as well and a rebuilding will take place.
