    What is a fancy foreign name though...feel like that's a phrase used by celtic da's.

    We need to go foreign IMO and get someone who will shake the club top to bottom in terms of the culture and bring in his own men.

    Director of football as well. I dont see an answer to our problems within British football rn tbh.

    No doubt most suggestions will be laughed at as football manager options.

    If the job offer was just until the end of the season then i think that would reduce the quality of candidate, would prefer if it was offered as a full time position with a view to build this season and plan for next season, more of a long term plan rather than a quick fix which would apply a helluva lot of pressure on any manager.

    He’s had since the rangers loss .... thing is these performances have been dire since the killie draw looking at it from that perspective he’s had 3-4 months to fix it if he can’t do it with that time he can’t do it anytime

    Eddie Howe still first choice for me. If not him, I agree with others that it should be a foreigner.

    If we don't get Gary Holt, then I'd go all out for Benitez.

    Lawell is never going to employ someone to do that. Be like turkeys voting for Christmas. The guy wants ultimate control over things.

    I partly agree with that - however, it really shows that Lennon was a "yes man" to Lawwell and knew he was very fortunate to get the job, can you imagine any real top manager being dictated to as to who his backroom staff would be?

    The board should not have appointed him at the end of the 2019 season and this season should have acted much earlier and that is their fault. If Lennon walks tomorrow (or does a "mutual consent deal) - he will leave with a degree of dignity.

    If he stays and forces the board to sack him to get a payoff - I'm afraid his respect as a Celtic Hero is greatly diminished IMO. He's on a 1 year rolling contract so it's not millions.

    I do wish him the best although frankly I think he'll struggle to get another managers job unless its at a pretty low league level.

    I think Jack Ross would be an absolute disaster for all parties involved right now.

    It will be a huge rebuild imo akin to when Strachan took over from O’Neill.

    That's what i'm thinking mate, we canny expect a manager to arrive with a magic wand, there's work needing to be done, from players to backroom staff and scouting, the Board need punted as well but sadly that's not gonna happen.

    Jack Ross would be a disaster. He is not a good manager.

    He comes across extremely badly in the Sunderland behind the scenes thing. He’s never achieved anything in football to put him in line for the Celtic job.

    I’ve heard rumours that he’s totally clueless tactically to the point players take the *. I expect it all to go * up at Hibs soon enough.

    I added that in, in preparation for the typical response of some fans * that we all just want s foreign name.

    Personally I would go abroad and more so to footballing nations that are known for being key players in the modern game and how it's played, the Dutch, Italians, Portuguese, Spanish etc.
