    Who he still won 5 trophies with, with the coaching staff taking up the brunt of the work in that time if reports are to believed.

    Could he be thinking about the Hibs job?
    I think the bat thing for him is to go and get experience. But not mid season!

    The chat has died about Anges backroom staff. He must be happy with them. It almost doesn't matter who his assistants are as long as they can follow his instructions.

    He wouldn’t last. Jack Ross is far superior than John.

    Because he wears a suit and pulls a pensive face?

    Kennedy is too much of a shtebag to go out on his own.

    Still makes me chuckle that whenever * goes sideways at our club loads of folk jump on Kennedy and seem to have intimate knowledge of his talent on the training pitch. When we are winning quadruple trebles and playing good football under competent managers he never gets praised for it.

    His fault when we are *, nothing to do with him when are doing well.

    He isn't even thinking of being a manager himself! Otherwise you can't explain why he changed * all when in charge last season. The only thing that improved a bit was defending, still shipped in lots of goals. A guy who wants to be a manager would have changed quite a lot because there was a lot wrong to change.

    Also Hibs saw his time as our interim manager and as described above, there's not much that suggests he's a good manager. He took over a horrible squat, yes, but still he had a chance to show a bit of his own work. Playing Lennon's mates just shows he's useless as a manager. Why didn't he play player who stayed at a club and needed game time? It's not as it would have made the team much worse.

    Think he's happy being a coach and that's alright to me. Not everyone needs to be a manager. Still would like him to get some experience outside Celtic as that would definitely improve him.

    Not everybody wants to be a manager. In my work life I don't want to manage people so I move companies looking to move upwards without managing people. I'm now with an organisation where I will stay, earn really well and not manage. Why can't the same be in football?

    Can’t judge Kennedy on his coaching ability but i can judge him on his management based on his brief stink and it was terrible.

    I think the real issue is that we’re so short staffed in the coaching area.

    I don’t think anyone would mind or question Kennedy’s presence, if we had an additional two or three quality coaches in the set up.

    Getting a bit fed up seeing this kind of opinion trotted out tbh. It might make some kind of sense if it weren’t for the fact that the guy was handed control of the first team for a quarter of a calendar year to make his own decisions, and he showed nothing. Kept everything almost exactly the same as under Lennon.

    So when folk complain about him and suspect that he brings very little, it’s not like there aren’t grounds for that. For all any of us know, he could be a decent coach - as ex-players and other former staff sometimes make out - but the evidence of his spell in interim charge doesn’t speak well of him, and anyone who didn’t fancy him being at the club after that is justified in thinking so.

    He does want to be a manager though.

    He’s said it several times.

    Yeah took over an absolute * show for about 8 games. What a *.

    The guy has been a first team coach during some of our most successful periods. Never anything to do with him though. * periods? Get him to *.

    Nobody on here has any idea what his influence is on the training field. Doesn't stop armchair Ancelotties thinking they know it all though.

    Embarrassing
