Koeman was fecking it up big time - 2 wins out of 9 - 18th in the table which is bottom three so is relegation territory after outlaying the best part of £150m - Allardyce is a piece of work but Moshiri/Kenwright couldn't take the risk of it continuing to go breests up and go down - £5m to bin Fat Sam when he has got you finishing 8th as opposed to 18th or worse is a no brainer in terms of the EPL economics of staying up and Moshiri will not not be gaf what the fans thought of the football for one season as he and Fat Sam knew he (FS) would be emptied at the end of the season.

Hope to feck they do get a good Manager in this time though.
I can't recall the exact fixture list but the first nine games included Man City, Spurs, Chelsea, Man U and three Europa League games. Ronko couldn't get any momentum going. By the time he went, we had came through that run of fixtures and were going into a less stressful part of the season. Unsworth was starting to get results, and the team were improving to the point that we were in 13th place when Allardyce took control. He actually contends that we were in the bottom three when he took over, the lying blert. I know that you lads say we should be grateful that we 'escaped relegation', but we were never really in danger. Since then, we have been subjected to him basically bluffing his way through the season and patronising the support. I ask you, as a support very similar to ours in composition (ie fair, appreciative of the game, honest), would you put up with Allardyce at Celtic?

Completely hypothetical question.

We choose our managers with a view to winning trophies.

A team like Everton aren't going to be breaking into the top six anytime soon.

Even if the football is poor, he has kept them up with little fuss. They were in free fall when he took over.

Surely he deserves another season?

I am no fan of him btw just don't think sacking a manager for no reason other than the support don't like the style of play is mental.

Wasn't that at least part of why Strachan wasn't kept on ?
He wanted to go the summer before the board convinced him to stay for another year

You do mate, but the composition of the English League and the Scottish leagues are different in many different ways. There will always be more contenders down here. That isn't a dig at Celtic by the way, just a statement of fact. Plus, if Allardyce came to Celtic, you'd be on here whinging like I am to get shut!

Personally I don't blame you at all for wanting to get rid of his signature brand of turgid shampoo and I know for a fact that if we had a manger half as boring folk would be going off their nut about it. All very well telling the supporter of another team to stop whinging, but it would be very different if the shoe was on the other foot, as you say :thumbsup:

I've got no sympathy for fans of clubs like Sunderland,West Brom,Stoke,A Villa,Newcastle etc. The fans of these clubs are always moaning despite being safe in the epl.

Eventually these teams get what they deserve,relegation. I'd love to know exactly what these fans expect?

Guys like Allardyce and Pulis are solid managers.

Everton might just regret punting big Sam. Their squad is rotten and after spending 200 million.

What? My inability to make fun of the situation? If my question to you Celtic lads was totally hypothetical regarding hiring Bisto Boobs, surely your question to me about the lad with the teeth would come under the same category?

I thought that Everton getting rid of Koeman was ridiculous and a sign of how mental it is down there. The previous season everyone seemed to like him, he’d got you into Europe if I’m not mistaken, but within months he was gone.

Everton aren’t the only offenders here, look at Watford with Marco Silva and the increased pressure on Claude Puel at Leicester towards the end of the season. Boards of directors seem to panic or don’t recognise that for many teams a poor spell is par for the course. Then there’s the Quickfire culture of the championship, which is partly why you’re now getting the likes of Steve Clarke coming up here, and Derek McInnes and Jack Ross opting to stay when there’s more lucrative opportunities going down there.

Two years ago we were all moaning and wanting rid of a manager who’d won two titles in a row. Quite rightly too as he was a dud. It’s pretty arrogant to be lambasting English fans for daring to have some ambition and wanting a manager who may be able to achieve something other than survival. Everton fans are absolutely right to want Allardyce out. Why shouldn’t they dream about trying to break into the top six or playing attractive football? It’s less than five years since they had exactly that under Roberto Martinez before it all turned sour for him.

I don't see where I said you should be grateful mate - I just pointed out I could see why Moshiri did what he did and he achieved his immediate objective for the season.

I have already pointed out I think Allardyce is a piece of work so in answer to your question I would not want him or his version of football near Celtic - That said I never wanted Strachan or his version of football at Celtic but accept he was for the most part successful and I say that as one who never had any issues in the slightest with his not being a Celtic Man pish - He was a narky wee fecker on and off the park but a winner and I wish he had played for Celtic on the park - I couldn't go his football when he was the Manager - You mention Fat Sam patronising the Everton Support - Try Strachan and Caldwell on that one!!! - Same goes for Deila he talked the talk and did win the leagues but ultimately he couldn't cut it - No problem with that - He got punted (behind the scenes ) but that is football and it was making him ill so he has moved on and I wish him well.
