Bielsa is almost certain to be Lille's manager next season... unless he makes a U-Turn again.

Manager of Livingston slams Jo Venglos for incompetence.

Quote:
 
Former Celtic striker Mark Burchill has slammed Jo Venglos and reckons the Slovakian wasn't even picking the team while in charge at Parkhead.

Venglos, who was in charge during the 1998/99 season, isn't remembered as a complete disaster and is revered by the Hoops faithful for the recruitment of Lubo Moravcik, Mark Viduka and Johan Mjallby

Burchill emerged through the youth ranks with Celtic and netted 20 league goals in 50 appearances between 1998 and 2001

The former Scotland international - who made the comments during a Celtic supporters podcast - admitted he was unconvinced by Venglos.

"He should not have been the manager, I'm not convinced he was the manager, his name was the manager but I'm not convinced he was picking the team."
I don't get the implication. What's he getting at? If it wasn't Venglos picking the team then who was it? It was hardly McCann or Brown. Eric Black?
Maybe certain players were pressuring him into making certain team selections. I can picture someone like Burley trying to bully a weak manager.

The sacking had to happen. At many of Ranieri's previous clubs it would have happened months ago. Why the faux outrage here, when Ancelotti, Mourinho (twice!) and Mancini have all been treated similarly in the recent past?

His record this season has been inexcusable - 3 away points out of 39 and a total of ZERO goals in our last 6 league games, together with a less than glorious cup exit to a 10-man third-tier club. No employment tribunal on the planet would have found in his favour.

Instead he takes yet another lottery-win payoff, which he will undoubtedly use to enrich still further his already-extensive European property portfolio.

I don't buy this shampoo being spouted about my club being somehow in its "natural" position. Why should I, when I look at clubs like Stoke, Watford, Bournemouth, Burnley and Swansea, all with lesser achievements, playing squads and resources - outperforming us this season? Martin O'Neill never accepted the notion of a ceiling either - and he managed Leicester when it was a far smaller club than it is today.

To those who snipe, whinge and squeal about our Champions League grouping, let's not forget that we EARNED that by finishing top of a league containing many of the richest clubs on earth. With all due respect to the hoops, it's a slightly tougher task than having to negotiate a way past the likes of Ross, Hamilton and Kilmarnock.

Like it or not, unless and until Celtic become a force in Europe again, it can set as many records as it likes and still be treated with absolute contempt outwith Scotland and its own diaspora. The current incumbent knows that. But will he have the patience to stick with the project until it bears fruit, or will he succumb to an offer from south of the border?

After all, the balance of power has shifted significantly in the last 15 years. Celtic are no longer in a position to poach players or managers from established English Premier clubs. Nor will they be able to do so for the foreseeable future.

And that of course, is the root of all the envy, bitterness and resentment expressed toward the English on here. But I can cope with that. I'm not the one siding with the likes of Piers Morgan on the question of Ranieri.
I can see why they sacked him.

As for how Celtic are perceived in England, I know how the EPL is perceived in my house. I usually find something else to spend my time on.

Leicester did earn their CL place, but so did Celtic who had to negotiate 3 qualifying ties as champions of their country.

Is Celtic treated with 'absolute contempt'? I don't know. I lived in England for a long time, I have English family, it's not the impression I get. But maybe the results of English clubs do resonate around the world. Spurs getting gubbed by Gent, Arsenal getting to one CL final in all their years of trying despite their world cup winners and the riches at their disposal, Man City's continued failures (I liked the days when Man City were wasting time in their own corner flag when they needed a goal to avoid relegation). I could go on, suffice to say English clubs were more dominant in Europe when the competition wasn't weighted in their favour with money. Work that out.

With money comes stupidity and a misplaced sense of your own worth. All you had to do was look at a Man City forum when we played them to see how a lottery win, essentially, can turn people into winkers.

Maybe the money will keep rolling in. But maybe all these moneylaunderers and gloryhunters will get fed up and the arse will fall out of the TV market. And when that happens, Celtic will still be a club with a rich history and a big support. Where will Leicester and Man City be? Back to where they used to be, makeweights, hopping up and down the divisions.

The EPL has ruined football (along with other TV cash-rich countries, as they try to suck up all the wealth for themselves and close off the notion that a smaller team can compete against them.

Leicester might have been a blip but they also spent some hefty cash on their way to their Boys Own story.

As for 'the balance of power shifting' that would suggest that the power was here in the first place. And if and when the day comes when 'the current incumbent succumbs to an offer from south of the border', you needn't worry about it being Leicester.

And Piers Morgan? Who even knows what that carrot does or doesn't think?
very well put ned :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I never understood the Venglos' decision to play with only 1 forward in the SFA Cup final that season, Burchill being relegated out (at tath time he was in good form). :rubeyes:

Can't believe he went with the strike force that started the 5-1 win and the 2-2 draw.

According to Shug the sacking of Ranieri is logical and understandable in the context of modern football where there is no room for sympathy.
After all, Celtic sacked Murdo Macleod days after he helped guide them to the most important title in their history. :ffs:

I want every carrot associated with that mobs cheating years to feel a bit of the pain. Ferguson as head coach would be sensational.
