    Don't have to accept it, it's just not time to drop the axe yet.

    Hahaha, * up! I was sure I fixed that mistake!

    If we did drop the axe do you think somehow we wouldn't win the league or even a cup ? If not would it not make sense to give a new manager time for next seasons European campaign ? We need the money European football brings we cant keep swinging and missing !!

    Not October. March, maybe. Like when Lennon took over from Mowbray. Won't do us any good in Europe if we sack him now. There's no point.

    We've essentially got one window before the next CL campaign. Get a new manager in now so he can start to build towards that. No point bringing in a new manager after Ronny has bought another 10 midfielders

    Im a great believer of the "deila philosophy". ie. 24 hour athletes etc

    but parts of his management style are unfortunately not suitable for celtic. If last night proved anything its that more often than not, players need a boot up the *... not a friend or a suppotive father figure. and that collins is a divisive figure at the club.


    I like deila, i like his personality, but he's is * clueless in europe, he sat on his * last night and sulked like a child whilst his game plan went down the *.

    Time to go boy.

    At least o'niell's n strachan's teams had some fight and passion in them and we as fans went in to games with a bit of hope and in the knowledge we'd at least try and compete no matter the opposition,when have we ever punched above our weight under Ronny? We did under O'Neill and strachan

    Slept on it and have changed my mind.

    We're wasteful up front and dreadful at the back with seemingly little being done to change it.

    If we could get Rodgers in, that'd be a great coup.

    Knew the anti Ronny people would have a field day today :31: we scored 2 against Ajax and Fener, 1 against Molde, the defense is the problem and really can you blame Ronny when the * carpet is pulled from under his feet in the summer by the board. It'll take months maybe even a season to gel a defense again but whats the point when someone stands out they're off to Southampton :31:

    Ronny never was the man for celtic. Unless winning one Norwegian title is allit takes these days.

    Literally the worst time to sack a manager imo. No time to build anything for the CL qualifiers in 2016 and a ready made excuse for failure.

    Just put Ronny out of his misery. I really can't see one area of the team we look better than when he took over almost 18 months ago.

    We're not the only club that has to overcome the loss of our better players from time-to-time. He signed 4 defenders in the summer and our defence is still like a sieve.

    The manner of our defeats is inexcusable also, going out with a whimper to Maribor, Legia, Malmo and Molde. Teams whose budgets are dwarfed in comparison to our own.

    I have been behind Ronny since day 1. But there is a definite inability to identify weaknesses and change them before more havoc is wreaked.

    Also his loyalty to liabilities like Izzy and Efe and the undroppable Stefan, lead me to believe he's a guy swimming against the tide.

    I get what you mean here but player mistakes have cost us in each of the three games. Izzy vs Ajax, Efe vs Fenerbache, Boyata last night.

    I have no doubt in my mind that he is.

    The State of the club does not fall solely with the manager.

    The quality of players since MON last year had been getting worse and worse and overall that is no coincident when you look at our record in Europe.

    Yes there is they odd away win but at home it's not the fortress it once was, at home we near certain of 3 no matter the team we faced and that was because of the players and fans available to us at the time.

    Neither of those are available now ave it's telling more so then ever before.

    That is not the managers fault, Ronny is the man for this team of that I have no doubt.

    He can only work with what he is given.

    The players need to have a serious look at themselves last night, their passing was * poor. The only players who get pass marks from me last night are Armstrong and Bitton.

    Ronny is still the man for the job but I suspect that John Kennedy isnt it, our defensive positioning is brutal.

    Johns a great lad there is no doubting that at all, whether he should be our head defensive coach is another matter entirely.

    People might jump on me for this but before Ronny is sacked Collins and Kennedy should be the ones out the door.
