John Barnes on his Channel 5 gig in the early 00s tried to claim some credit for the success we had under MON.

To be fair to Deila, he gave Tierney his debut & signed players who are having a great season.

Pity he couldn't get them to perform.

A failed Celtic manager but 1 failure doesn't make an entire career a failure.

Ancelotti, Wenger, Mourinho, Benitez have all been sacked from gigs.

It's strange that article referenced the Man City game. Sterling roasted Tierney that night.
Also strange it referenced us being without "significant contributors such as Dembele and ... Dembele" ... unless they mean wee Karamoko.

Tierney roasted them back funnily enough.

“THIS is the best place for them to develop” tends to be the final desperate plea from a club knowing full well that a stellar young talent was heading for the exit door. Celtic, though, hope they can buck that particular trend.

Assistant manager Chris Davies acknowledges that the day will come when Kieran Tierney and Moussa Dembele will be enticed away by bigger clubs but there is a genuine belief that that moment won’t arrive for some time yet.

Tierney, at 19, is the younger of the two by a year. The full-back, a Celtic fan since childhood, is someone Davies and manager Brendan Rodgers were aware of even before they arrived at Celtic Park in the summer, but the consistency of his performances have even surpassed the advanced scouting reports prepared for them by first-team coach John Kennedy.

Not even an injury setback has halted Tierney’s progress, the player returning to the side following the winter break and putting in the sort of flawless displays that have been a regular occurrence since he first established himself in the first team around 18 months ago.

Should Tierney continue on this upwards trajectory it will not be long before major English and European clubs are testing Celtic’s resolve with eight-figure offers but Davies hopes – and believes – the player will be in no rush to leave, and not just because he is a fan.

“That might help but there’s also a recognition that this is the best place for him,” said Davies. “The manager has made that clear to him and as far as I’m aware we all agree on that.

“He’s best served staying, playing and developing. What the manager can offer players is the opportunity to develop them into world-class players because he’s proved that with others. It’s a great place to stay and develop and if he ever feels like it’s the best thing to do then he may choose to leave but that’s certainly not in my mind.

“He’s an excellent player and he’s done really well for us this season. It was unfortunate when he picked up his injury but he’s a player I rate really highly.

“The starting point for him is his passion, energy and drive. He’s obviously a massive Celtic fan and it’s great to have one of them in the team. That energy, desire and will to win is a good starting point for any player.

“Add on to that he’s making good, mature decisions on the ball. He’s deciding when to run, underlap, overlap and what type of cross to play. He has a good left foot, can shoot, can cross and can drill a ball.

“Wingers don’t like playing against him because he can tackle strongly but fairly, and is the type who will hurt you when he tackles and wingers can see that. He’s got this great synergy of old and new school and that’s what makes him stand out. In the next few years he can develop and the manager’s plan is for him to stay and develop into a world-class talent.”

Davies also revealed that Tierney has never been fazed at being one of the younger members of a dressing room replete with internationalists.

“When John Kennedy spoke to us, as soon as me and Brendan came in, he spoke so highly of Kieran. We’d made sure we had a good idea of all the players we’d be working with.

“John made it clear KT was straight in holding his own within the first team squad as soon as he moved from the youth team. He also had the confidence to express himself on the pitch, and around the place he’s polite and well mannered.

“He’s got a good personality, too. Kendo had given us the heads up early doors that he was young but also not afraid to make sure he was a part of it all. Kieran’s inspiring. He creates energy for others because of the enthusiasm he’s got. It can rub off on other players.”

The same applies to Dembele, a player who said on his first day at Celtic that he wanted to become the best striker in the world.

"Moussa's an intelligent boy,” said Davies of the player who faces a late fitness test ahead of today's game at St Johnstone. “He knows this is the best place for him. He loves it here, he's had a great time and he's got a real inner belief that he's a top player and if he wants that move it will come at the right time for him.

“He doesn't have to go chasing it, thinking that it might not come again. That's a sign of the self-confidence he has. He loves playing for Celtic and wants to stay and work and win things and develop. A bit like Tierney, he's still got development to come.

“You've got to be professional and he is the way he lives his life. He's a player that loves football, watches a lot of games, got a real interest and passion for the game. You can talk to him about different strikers, different games that were on. He enjoys studying the game and he's got all the potential to progress. But there's a humility there that he knows he has to keep working hard and hopefully he can progress.

“I noticed just in those first few weeks with Moussa there was this calm assurance and confidence but not arrogance. 'I'm a top player and when I get my chance, I'll do it' and he's shown that and delivered. If and when the time's right he can go, but he's still got more to come for us.”

Dont want to bump the Deila thread but has anyone seen the power of pish Ronny was putting out in a norwegian interview all about how he laid the groundwork for what has come this season.

Deila is so ungrateful. Mowbray set up the basis for all this success

I actually think Deila and Rodgers have a similar outlook on the game and the way it should be played. The big difference is that Rodgers actually knows how to get that vision across to his players and has managed to get them to buy into it 100%.

Would love to go back to the Deila thread circa March 2015 when he won the League Cup and did that Sports Management lecture in a Norwegian Uni and had everyone on this board, practically to a man, eating out of the palm of his hand.

How times change :lol:

Rodgers is all about aggression, speed and ruthlessness. Deila is about pressing and possession football with little focus on being ruthless. They're poles apart.

Just what I was thinking of reading the last few posts. Ronny will do well as a manager some day, somewhere.

Not effing me and a select few on here and also. Talked a good game but a snake oil salesman from the get go.

Average coach at best. Extreme best.

Agreed, the guy is a effing tube and I was never in thrall to his self aggrandising pish, the fact he would attempt to claim credit for the success this season is utterly laughable.

The team was a mess when Rodgers inherited it and the eejit nearly ruined several of these guys careers with his blue sky thinking shampooe.

Obviously he isnt going to talk himself down in a national newspaper but he could have the deceny to say 'well it didnt work out at Celtic but I won some stuff eh' rather than claiming he put the bedrock in for the culture that made this team, he's utterly deluded.

Can i just say, as a youthful fan of world of sport wrestling in the early 80's, that i love the fact that Chris Davies referred to John Kenneday as Kendo. He should wear a mask in the dugout. :ph43r:

There were plenty of people that were never keen on him, but they were generally encouraged to shut the f*** up.

The way that Rodgers coaches players, I think we'll see a. Lot of his ex players become managers.
