Edd, a think were on the same opinion about Askou mate thinking not good enough for us, with me it was the fact a thot he was a rookie and has won nothing but av just read on our site he's won 4 trophies, is this been when he's been the manager or assistant at these teams mate.
{Ed007's Note - Askou won The Double as manager of HB Torshavn in The Faroe Islands back in 2020.}

It's a gamble going for him imo . sitting 4th his team are doing ok ish couple of decent players . one off season? But out of both cup competitions . if our board hadn't disastourasly fked up this season and backed br didn't bring in nancy and then not backed mon who dragged us back into contention .
would anyone even notice what motherwell are doing under him?
{Ed007's Note - Askou has done absolutely nothing to even be considered for the Celtic job.}

Before being considered for the Celtic managers job it should be a pre-requisite that the candidates can demonstrate success at two different clubs - stakes not least financial are too high to take a chance on an up and coming manager. We’ve had recent experience of how that can work out. The only way of proving you can do it is evidencing that you’ve done it.

Seems to be Askou or Martinez as front runners so far but with this board God knows who end up with.

Who would you feel should be considered for the job Ed?
I can’t see any manager worth his salt being interested.
Feel like Askou is our level now. Not helped with the circus at boardroom level.
{Ed007's Note - If Askou is our level we might as well chuck it just now and close the tops tiers again.
I'd go for McKenna.}

Do you think McKenna would come to the SPL though?
{Ed007's Note - If he takes Ipswich up he's facing a season of fighting a - losing imo - relegation battle, that would be 2 relegations on his CV.
Say he goes to the likes of Man Utd or Spurs and only lasts a year to 18 months if that, he wouldn't be considered for a "top" job for a while at least and just end up on the mid-Pub League conveyor belt of managers that always get a job but do hee-haw - come to Celtic, show he can handle the pressure of a big job, winning things, gaining Euro experience and build his reputation further before taking on a top PL job where he can have more influence.
A future role for MON at Celtic could help convince McKenna.}
