The Ronny Deila Thread

Hate to say it during the honeymoon period i was lapping up the appointment and would have probably went for the guy that said a bad word about him :smiley-laughing002: but i'm getting more angry every time i see his interviews and his tactics and subs in games etc. His changes/tactics tonight were borderline shocking imo we had no need to press the game we had the away goal and didn't have to open up to them after 65 mins. Ambrose at RB was another terrible decision especially with Matthews on the bench. After the Legia games i was supporting him 100% but tonight really has me asking questions of the way he has us playing.

It's early days but if he carries on like this he will struggle to last the season especially if pressure on the board increases, they will have no problem getting rid of Deila if they start feeling the wrath of the fans, it'll serve as a decent distraction anyway. The board also are not backing him with permanent signings of his own and that tells me all i need to know about how the board trust Deila and his longevity at the club, the actions of the board could end up costing him his job in the coming months.

 

Mogga was backed though! Remember the money he spent? Ronny has not had a single penny to spend yet, in spite of us selling Forster!

 

Naw a read it all and summarised the full paragraph with my reply.

I do think he deserves more than six weeks and I,ll be along to support....however nothing will tell me tonight was a royal * * up from both players and manager....with the seeds sown long ago by the * board.

His tactics tonight were a disgrace.....MARIBOR!

 

.

Very sensible post. Wish there were more reflective people like you. Alex Ferguson was almost sacked in the beginning of his Man-U career, when the results didn't go very well. Luckily for them he was given time.

 

Oh I remember, but for me he should be demanding the board spend, he came out about loaning players and look what happens? Seems like a yes man to me.

I was disappointed when he was appointed but thought I will back him, just feels like our signing policy under this board get the cheapest option in.

We all knew the squad needed adding too around should have as well and said to the board. Instead he has got loan players.

 

3 loans so far, one injured , one a 19 year old kid, and the other utter pish he would be as well heading back to Cardiff, because theres not a hope in * they will take up his buy option

 

I'm not trying to be fair and balanced (but thanks) because when it comes to Celtic, I'm biased as *. :smiley-laughing002:
The fact is, I'm still excited by the guy. I'd never heard of him when he signed but I looked at his record in Norway and it was pretty clear: the guy knows exactly what he is doing and is exactly the guy we've been crying out for to take us to the next level but he obviously takes a little time to get his ideas across. You can see that from his record at Strømsgodset.

It's unarguable that he hasn't been backed, either, so it will obviously take him longer than it otherwise would if he has to do it all on a shoestring. He can do it on a shoestring BTW, I have no doubt of that because he proved it in Norway when he took Strømsgodset to the next level (for them) on a shoestring; but it took him years. Years isn't acceptable at a club the size of Celtic, therefore he has to be backed.

I genuinely fear for him because the board will definitely be looking for a scapegoat.

 

Tactics were shocking tonight. Backed or not backed by the board, the guy should've done better in both these games. He's persisting with things that aren't working. Mulgrews at CM? Stokes up front on his own? He's not scored a goal in what, 20 European games? Berget left wing? You're not telling me he's not got some alternatives to that. Or do we need a £40m squad to beat Maribor?

He needed better players to beat Legia, but Maribor is entirely on him.

 

I understand your frustration. Maybe a big part of the frustration would have been different if the board would have allowed some signings. You lost your best players and they should have replaced them with equally or better players. So strange that they believe todays squad will make your club advance to the next level. Celtic is a big club with many fans in Scandinavia. I really hope you will bounce back quickly. Maybe the board finally (after this loss) will understand that the club needs better players.

 

Is that the match replay?

 

wants to play attacking football yet I cant remember a more impotent Celtic team in the final third.

 

Its a mixture of several things my friend...a board that has not supported the clubs progress, a Manager whos tactics I could not understand or comprehend...and players unable to complete the most basic of functions like PASSING a ball!!

Anyway, I,ve done enough ranting for one night; I,m going to have a quick look at the sexy female thread then its time for an angry *!

 

The thing is though the more you look into Ronny and Stromsgodset the more you realize that it wasn't done solely by him but by the players,coaches and owners alike who all understood what they wanted and implemented it. I remember hearing 2 Norwegian journalists talk about how he done very poorly at the start of his reign and how his success was not down to him but everyone at the club. We don't have that at Celtic it's just Ronny on his own and so far he looks a bit out of his depth tbh.

 

Thats the problem in big clubs, managers usually doesn't get time. Thats why the Norwegian managers abroad has been sacked left and right after just a couple of months, hehe. I have never understood why managers get sacked so quickly as they do nowadays. It's impossible to change a team in a couple of months. That is if you have a more forward thinking philosophy than to just stay at the exact same level, instead of improve.


My english sucks today. Hope you understand what I mean

 

It's a fair point but true of nearly all successful managers. Fergie for one leaned very heavily on his assistants and there's a reason MON took Robertson with him everywhere and then struggled without him at Sunderland.

As with everything else, Ronny needs time to assemble his team.

 

Anyone blaming the manager for this is a complete and utter idiot. Neil Lennon's players played tonight and Lawwell didn't give Ronnie a coin to spend.

Work it out.

 

I'm blaming him 100% !! The boards part in the mess we find ourselves is undeniable and hopefully the * will be held to account for it but how anybody can defend the manager honestly baffles me . I don't want the guy sacked after a month but so far im worried with what ive seen !! Some of his decisions tnite were staggering and it cost us a lot of money . So far we've been hammered by an average legia side and * by a very poor maribor team both teams we have a right to expect better than what we witnessed and im afraid he played a major part in our downfall!!

 

Sorry but for me you're way off the mark. Celtic hired this guy knowing full well that he'd have to learn about squad he had. Every manager needs at least a season and I believe he will be good. Lennon's players are what's wrong at the moment. Disgraceful what he signed!

 

:smiley-laughing002:

played for a 0-0 at home against a team no better than Raith rovers IMO, got tactics wrong, played several players who are not good enough or out of position, yeah I blame Lennon, and im the idiot? He Bottled it and looks way way out of his depth even at this early stage

Mowbray mark 2, all talk about styles and changing systems, ended up route one to our centre half, clueless
