If you rely on yourself, then you can be happy. Because if you fail, you fail on your own terms.

Fantastic. No excuses. Taking responsibility for your own actions, for better or worse.

He is possibly going to be the best manager I've ever seen at Celtic.

there was nothing wrong with wanting Moyes. More of us wanted Moyes than Rodgers and in fact one much loved poster of this parish suggested Rodgers first act would be to put his own picture up amongst the legends round the stadium :ph43r: .
We'll never know what Moyes might or might not have been, but Rodgers has surprised many already.

I preffered Moyes to Rodgers when we were linked with both.

They are 2 quality managers, the fact we were able to discuss the pros and cons of both shows how good we have it.

following on from that interview, I was wondering what it would take for the SPFL winner to qualify directly into the group stages or just have to play 1 playoff. Would we need 3 years in the CL group stages, making the last 16 each time?

For this we probably need the Huns to get their act together as no other Scottish team is ever going to do anything :ph43r:

I was one of the few who wanted nowt to do with Moyes and would not have been happy with him in the door, especially in front of Rodgers. Sunderland are welcome to Moyes.

To be fair, Hearts were building up a decent co-efficient a few years back, and Aberdeen made it beyond Christmas in 2008, so it can happen.

The Swiss champions are now getting direct entry to the Champions League, and I can't remember too may sides other than Basel making much impact in Europe.

The lowest ranked country to get an automatic Champions League group stage place for 2016/17 is Switzerland, who are 12th with a coefficient of 33.775.

Scotland is 25th, with a coefficient of 17.3.

Without getting into specifics, the short answer to your question is no time soon.

Hasn't put a decent run of games together for over two years. Discarded by Guardiola a year ago and now Mourinho wants nothing to do with him. I know this sounds bonkers when discussing a guy who's been one of the best midfielders in the world over the past decade but he's really not the type of player we should be looking to build a team around. Suspect if we did sign him it would be reminiscent of Roy Keane's time - a handful of outstanding performances, some mediocre ones, long spells on the treatment table and, ultimately, a premature exit due to injuries. Not worth the hassle or expense.

I voted for Moyes.

I knew Rodgers would play the silkier football but felt Moyes's pragmatic style would have been more suitable for us in Europe. That was before I knew the board were actually going to bring in some quality.

I think Rodgers tactics in the earlier rounds were at times questionable but has adapted well and has been brave enough to go with one up front and play a 4-2-3-1 - Poor Ronny :lol:
