    Your having a laugh, surely?
    This "excellent coach" has done jack * about our shambolic defending, pathetic set pieces, cant even get a squad to a decent level of fitness.
    Excellent coach my *. This * is part of the issue.
    One word-incompetent.

    Ok you'd be better telling that to the people who have worked with him, unfortunately I'm not privy to what areas of coaching Kennedy is responsible for. You're certainly an excitable little * aren't you.

    Nobody is. That's the point. Is he in charge of the cones? Because that's what our players are our defence look like they're set up to emulate.

    I started this thread in a drunken rant after Ronny resigned.

    He's still here.

    and I haven't changed my opinion of him.

    He can get to * too.

    It's obvious he has been kept in place by the board as a cost saving alternative for the future, but until I see him actually * PROVE that he's anything other than a talking head he can * away off.

    Any aspiring coach would have left us by now to start out building a CV, getting that VITAL experience, and begin to carve out an identity as a professional.

    Kennedy has been play acting one of the crows from the * jungle book for nigh on a decade now, and is happy to see managers come and go, whilst he keeps on paddling, and stealing a wage.

    He's worked his ticket. Now * away off.

    Did he not turn down the job at Hibs ? Too scared to be shown up for what he is if he did

    He got a bad injury which unfortunately ended his career and Celtic took him under their wing and turned him into a "coach", he just doesn't come across during games as doing anything useful, apart from asking players to get ready to come on. I don't know of course what he does in coaching but maybe just another sentimental appointment which has way run its course of time and which we seem to be doing a lot of at the moment.

    I've got a horrible feeling the club don't want him to take over from Lenny this season in case it further damages his image and reputation

    I think probably more to do with the fact that he wanted to leave after the 10 (yeah I know) as at 37 time is still on his side. If he left in the summer I think he could easily get a managers job in Scotland, may be Championship though.

    The rat anointed him the chosen one when he was here and it looks as if we’re stuck with the *. He’s turned down management offers to stay here.

    I hope to * he isn’t who we are genuinely considering mid to long term. He’s a main part of our problem.

    Needs to go as part of the new set up. Absolutely no character, and his attitude in some games where he simply shrugs his shoulders is shocking.

    Nah, not for me.

    He seems like a bad smell that won't go away. Never looks happy/bothered. Watched Damien duff interview wi Si Ferry recently, and Duff reckons he's one of the best coaches he's came across. Take from that what you will, but I'd get him to * along wi Lennon, laptop boy, and the rest!!. Start afresh

    and Rodgers tried to take him to Leicester with him. You can only come to the conclusion he is a very good coach, whether he's management material is a different matter. Managers need to have a certain charisma and personality, I wouldnt say Kennedy has either in abundance although most of us can only form an opinion on him through what we see in the media.

    Sick of looking at this gormless * anaw. Used to be a centre half. Should be embarrassed watching us at set pieces.

    Theres no way he can stay. Id far rather have mjalby on the sideline than Kennedy. Someone with a bit of presence and who has overseen a solid defence.

    the jury has been out on kennedy for seasons and for me things have never really improved

    Kenny was right on Celtic Fans TV last night, this * was here throughout Brendans entire tenure, surrounded by top class coaches & other top football people, yet has clearly learned absolutely * all based on the evidence of this season, Lennon said on the day he was appointed that Kennedy would be important to pass on all the knowledge he took from his time spent with Brendan.

    Kennedy has had enough sympathy from us, get him to * out, he would have been working in * ASDA if it wasn't for us.
