    The one time he stepped on our training pitch we went out and pumped Aberdeen 9-0 the next day

    Loved henrik as a player but he has shown absolutely nothing as a coach to qualify him for a job with us.

    To be fair to him, he might be a good coach, who just isn't suited to management.

    If we hire him, it should be for his coaching abilities though.

    Do we currently have a specialist coach for our forwards, no?

    We’ve got John Kennedy and Damien Duff. Coaching giants. Who else do you need? :56:

    The backroom staff is a real concern for me. I would like to see Lennon bring in people who are going to elevate him as a manager.

    People use Slippys pulling power for players over that side as if it’s a good thing.

    Henrik won as many CL medals as him & played in the EPL & La Liga
    He has two La Liga titles

    To cap it off, he has more epl league titles on his CV than slippy has.

    If its a choice between him an mjallby I'll take mjallby him and lennon have worked together and had success before, appointing larsson based on his post football career just screams like a move to get the fans onside.

    Agree but really not convinced that Henrik would do that.

    If he’s actually a good coach then go for it.

    Hope it’s not just a case of getting his pals a gig.

    I genuinely don't know what to make of this. My favorite ever Celt, a legend. George Connolly said recently that taking the pitch with Billy McNeill you felt you could beat anyone. I always felt that way watching us with Henrik in the team. But this is not him returning as a player, his managing/coaching record to date is questionable.
    Lennon has, an assistant manager who have never coached outside the club & a first team coach who has gone from Shamrock Rovers under 15's, to Celtic reserves to our first team coach in 2.5 years
    Surely we need more experiance in the backroom staff? This kinda reeks of getting the fans back onside, to be fair I think we are onside with Lennon now and just want him backed. If this is truly Lennons choice then go for it, if its any other reason then I'm sorry but it's a no from me.

    And what the * did Parker do at Celtic take makes him unhirable here? He was at WBA with Lennon a month ago scouting Harper. Whats gone on there?

    The benefits of having an actual coach and not just another big name in charge.
