Guys/ ed hope you are all well.
Was thinking about the potential new manager or coach.
For me its not so much who it is but more the type of coach it is.
So im going to list a few and see what you think.
1 DOF Martinez and Maloney, there we have a highly recommended young coach with a good mentor and would more likely be long term if they came here as they both have history here.
2 A manager of repute and experience at the top level who is out the game but a name we all know. Mark Hughes.
3 A foreign coach who is used to working as a coach only and who can improve what he has and develop the youngsters. Diego Martinez.
4 A very tactical manager who sets us up well and whilst gets results its not always pretty.
Stevie clark.
5 A younger manager/ coach whilst has experience has not won anything but plays exciting football and knows a player. Eddie Howe.
Now i know i said the names were not important but i only use these as examples.
Would be interesting to know your thoughts guys.

I would be happy with any of your selections Rayman.
Celtic also need to improve massively on our new recruitment team to give our new manager the ammunition to work with.
{Ed007's Note - What if it isn't the recruitment but the person making the decisions that was the problem? It wasn't the recruitment team that chose not to sign Toney or Colley on loan or the countless other targets that would have been at least permanent signings instead of looking at loans and the cheaper option all the time.}

I never thought of that Ed.
Because those 2 players would’ve changed our season but it was the biscuit tin mentality came back to bite us.
{Ed007's Note - Footballing decisions being made by non-footballing people, Buzz, that is THE main reason we are where we are. The decision maker was the problem but he's left the room as we move forward.}

Ed Vladimir is nodding in agreement!

Toney would have been a great signing but alas we got Ajeti who still never looks fit to me.

Why is there such a popular belief that Eddie Howe hasn't won anything?

What about zidane? He'll be out of a job at madrid at the end of the year with either a weak Barcelona team winning the league or athletico winning it. Even either of those running madrid close will probably cost him the job I think.
Spend the money and watch a true midfield master outclass slippy G.
Or how about someone like Mourinho? I think he'll be gone from spurs at end of season. Again, he'll outclass Slippy G and restore us to the dominant force.

Zidane or Mourinho? Got to be taking the piss 😂.

Aye surely we must be looking at Pep. Plays good football, getting bored where he is. Used to having the biggest budget in the league. Gets pumped out of Europe every year. Aye he will do.

Why are they taking the piss?
Zidane will probably be out of a job and so will Mourinho.
Mourinho looks to have been found out at the highest of European level and will probably look for a project next. Maybe back to his Porto roots.
Zidane will cost a hell of a lot of money but I think we can get him with a challenge of getting us back to a European powerhouse.
I'd approach Zidane before I went to Benitez. I don't see why Benitez is a realistic target on here but Zizou isn't.

You need a serious reality check if you think 1. We could afford them abd 2. They'd want to come.
A big name would demand a big wage, big staff budget and big transfer kitty. Never going to happen in a million years.
What we need is a quality young manager looking to rebuild their reputation and move on after a few years like BR. Howe fits that description but there may be others in the summer.
