    For those who are in love.....
    He's been quality there lately..

    On a sidenote I really like their manager. Was on the ropes and looked down and out after the 9 nil loss at home but has came back swinging and doing some job..

    Comes across a good *. You could visibly see him hurting a couple of month's back..

    Yeah big Ralph is alright. Fair play to Southampton not just pulling the trigger as well when the other 19 teams in that league probably would have.

    Aye he's a likeable fella. Actually quite like Southampton as well, despite them regularly taking our best players.

    Would love us to get somebody of that mould as a manager in the future. Got that Klopp intensity/style of football about him.

    If 'big Ralph' had started the same at Celtic as he did at Southampton.. He would have been sacked months ago.

    Bit of a weird thing to say, though. He'd be managing the best squad in the league here, as opposed to a team devoid of any confidence in a much tougher league.

    And he actually did really well last season when he took over.

    It wasn't. He won 4, drew 3 and lost 3 in his first 10 league games. Including beating Arsenal, Leicester away and getting a draw at Stamford Bridge. They'd won 1 game in 15 before he took over.

    They had a poor spell a couple months back and obviously that embarrassment against Leicester, but they've recovered. He's done a fantastic job.

    All hypothetical of course.. He's turned it round now.. But was close to being sacked and wouldn't get the time here after a start like that in relative terms..

    Would be good if you were as positive about Celtic as you are about Southampton..

    *they were in the bottom 3 for weeks*

    :giggle1:

    So stating facts is being "positive" about them?

    The reality is it's pretty much an impossible comparison. He took over a team with 1 win in 15 games, with no style of play and no confidence. His first 10 results show a massive improvement. And he now has them 9th in the table, 3 points off 5 place, and playing a decent brand of football.

    He'd be incredible up here, but he's way beyond us now.

    Just don't understand your point.

    My point is he was in the bottom 3 for about half the season got spanked 9-0, was on the verge of being sacked. So he's not some messiah. Pure speculation as to how he would do here, but he would certainly have been afforded less time, in relative terms.
