Not so much the fact he is captain but the fact that as captain there is a feeling that he has to get played. Mcmanus was quite poor last year and should of been dropped on a few occasions. It was the fact he was captain that saved him from losing his place to Loovens, and maybe eve O'dea.

Lennon, Petrov, Balde, Thompson, Sutton, even Hartson and Varga.

First-team captain Posts: 2,530 Group: Snr. Member Member #10,169 Joined: 20 August 2007	behan 5 Jul 2009, 12:56 PM Brown, Boruc, effing McGeady?? You're all off your heads. Good players, probably our best, and for as long as they stay at the club should probably be first choices. But none of them are captain material, none of them. They're hardly model pros - Arthur doesn't need explaining, Brown has yet to master the English language and McGeady is a petulant moany faced wee bastard at the best of times. If not Mick, then Caldwell. They're the only two candidates at the club now IMO. 100% correct mate. Anyone who would consider any of that three as captain of Celtic are seriously deluded. Maybe, just maybe, Brown might come into contention in a couple of years time (if he matures sufficiently). Artur or Aiden as skipper?

Had we not been utterly destroyed in Strachan's first game, I think he would have been captain.

Getting on a bit Posts: 4,775 Group: Snr. Member Member #9,220 Joined: 2 July 2007	I always thought McManus lacked a bit of gravitas on account of his relative youth. At least being prepared to make a change is a good sign that Mowbray is looking at the issues that affected us last season. Maybe he will put lack of height on his list of changes to consider.

I have a feeling he will go with Caldwell and Loovens at the back though unless he signs A N other. One of our own. That'd be a proud day for KDS Sorry I'm late to this thread... Thanks for backing me in my quest to be Celtic Captain.

Shampoo on a twist... Posts: 1,981 Group: Members Member #5,827 Joined: 29 November 2006 Favourite all-time player Evander Sno	I think Mowbray was basically saying he's everything in the right place for captaincy, but nothing about meriting a starting place. Couple of seasons sans armband for McManus could be enough to let him concentrate on playing for the team rather than leading it. Hartley or JVOH for me.
