It値l definitely raise the profile of the Scottish game, and he値l probably be a complete failure.

Have to say, I知 struggling to see the downside here.
Perhaps cause there is none?

A rift between Rodgers and Gerard? How would that have come about?
It is "rumoured" that Gerrard was expecting a role within the club after he retired from playing but Rodgers didn't offer him one. It is also rumoured that Rodgers called Gerrard last week to speak to him about something, left a message on his phone, but Gerrard didn't call him back.
It's internet speak so is likely to be a load of old shampooe, but that's the rumour.
I know you're only passing this on, but I can't decide if this is the best or the worst internet rumour of all time.

It's a win-win for us- he either comes and makes an arse of it, or says no thanks, and its back to the drawing board.

The sheer humiliation if he says no thanks would be tremendous.

Apparently SG wants 3 year contract and 20 million for transfers each season.

He must know that's not anywhere near possible.

Out of touch doesn't cover it.

Stevie G does walking away I think.
Where you hear that from? 」20m each season? FFS, does he know that we barely get close to spending 」10m each window never mind them?

There are very few really good players who go on to become good managers. Even the ones that do tend to have a better starting position than the Huns; Pep at Barca and all their resources, Zizou at Real and all those resources. This would be more like Gary Neville, Tony Adams, Maradona...but even they had better resources to work with.

That's probably realistic from his perspective if true - "you want me to come in and win the league before Celtic get to 10? Okay, doable, but you'll have to let me spend double what they do in each of the next three seasons. That'll be an average of 」20 million per season, but you'll need to up it again if Celtic respond by increasing their spend"


The fact that he's never going to get it is neither here nor there....he's told them what he'd need to stop the 10 and the ball's in their court to either come up with a plausible moonbeam that convinces him that kind of money is there or move on to the next target.

Why is it less risky to appoint someone who is known to be a shampooe manager rather than someone who might or might not be?
Someone like McCulloch at least knows how Sevco operate. He壇 be better positioned to deal with people like Halliday and the kitman, who are only there because of their staunchness, than an outsider would. He also knows how to speak in a way that will appeal to the hun support and has knowledge of all the funny handshakes that are required for such a role.

you just described Bomber !

Suffered through an hour of him chatting to Dele Alli last night to helpfully confirm that the almighty Steve is indeed thick as mince. The huns will lap him up.

Bring him on.

I think it's c a cert for Stevie-boy.If he does a good job, he's the Messiah, turning the
shambles around.It goes teats-up, the job was a bad yin, a car-crash,and he was never going to
get the backing. Win-win for Steve. Why the rainjurs would want this again is amazing,have they not learned?
Tommy Wright or Stevie Clarke should ,imo, be the first choices.Guys who know the set-up and whits whit at the dome.
Long may it continue
I actually believe Lee McCulloch would be a less risky appointment than Gerrard.

It still smacks of moonbeams though
I'm not sure McCulloch would ever get the chance to get his teeth into a job at that level.
He'll need to get them back off the dog first :lol:

When I heard Barnes was going to be our new manager my first thought was, "what the hell are they thinking, that's the stupidest thing we've ever done".

Barnes had zero experience as a manager and absolutely no idea whatsoever what it would be like to manage a club like Celtic. He thought he could do it because at Liverpool there was pressure but its incomparable. To this day I still struggle to wrap my mind round it.

Gerrard would be an epic disaster. Even bigger than Barnes.

That said, he won't take the job.
I think he will, because it will appeal to the ego's of both parties.

Not many coaches get a chance to go from u-18s to managing a club that size in the space of a season.....for good reason of course.

Pretty sure that this won't happen, and absolutely certain it will be a disaster for them, and him personally, if it does. The sort of disaster which would end his managerial career before it's really started. Part of me hopes he does take the job just to add another chapter to the Sevco farce, but I agree with others that it will just lead to further ridicule of Scottish football, so a greater part of me hopes he doesnt.

Where have the huns got it from that we are raging about this??

Does anyone know a Celtic fan who doesn't think this is so stupid they can't believe it might actually happen?

It would be hilarious to see him say no thanks given the very public pursuit and after Del, but the hilarity of him getting the job will be even better.

They also have it in their heads the media up here are raging, but down there they don't have it in for them and are all supportive. As far as I can see, the media up here are simply pointing out the obvious & the ones down there are totally ignorant to Scottish fitba, so can't fail to see the issues.

Lurkers, please be clear: Timmy is laughing at you.

...and it would be hard for Brendan to offer him a job at Liverpool when he stopped playing, given that he was manager with us by that stage.

If he doesn't take it & I doubt he would - who thought it was a good idea to leak the news?

I know they seem to think that there's no such thing as bad PR, but surely after chasing Deek & having him knock them back, left them with at least a smidgen of self awareness?
Especially after going back to Murty "until the end of the season".

I mean - it seems as if they have absolutely no clue :)
Where do they go & how do they look, if another high profile Manager chase ends with them being knocked back? Even they must start to wonder if that looks bad....

So basically for every 」5 we spend he wants to spend 」10. Now where did that get them last time? :ffs:
