    Can already see the narrative being spun pretty heavily in the media, “Celtic manager loses to fourth tier Japanese side”. Think we all need to just calm doon a bit.

    The team they lost to - Honda FC - are good enough, and financially strong enough, to be challenging for the J League season on season. The only reason they’re not is because league rules mean they can’t get in with a corporate company mentioned in their club name.

    Aye, they play non league football, but no it isn’t the skelping people will be led to think it is.

    Blindly accepting anything is equally as bad as * on someone before they are in the door.

    This thread is showing both sides and both need to have a day off. It’s boring.

    The move is happening, let’s start moving forward.

    I might be doing Ange an injustice as I don’t know him or how he works, just what I’m reading about his single mindedness and implementing his my way or the highway philosophy which is fine in a team we’re everyone is grateful to be there. But most of our players have big * egos and think Celtic is a stepping stone to greatness.

    However leadership is critical to success not management there is a difference, Most people look at their leaders and see a person who has gone before them and experienced what they are experiencing at present and have achieved even against the odds. They want to see someone they can relate to and a leader needs to look around him and construct a plan that takes into account the abilities of the people he is leading (your only as good as your weakest man) that the strategies he employs is capable of being delivered it is * useless having the most convoluted or physically incapacitating plan if the people that are to deliver it are incapable or understanding or or are not physically capable

    this is what I see or think when I read the posts about Ange being our manager

    That’s no a narrative, that’s a fact.

    To say they’re ‘good enough to be challenging for the J league season on season’ simply isn’t true. They’re not contesting cup finals every/any season. They came 4th in the 4th tier last season.

    Leave the * polishing to “bhoys analytics” and mad Juco on twitter

    Who gives a * what the media think..some Celtic fans proclaim they dont care what the hun media say but get very upset by it..* them, they are itching for Celtic failure..Scum.

    A Japanese cup game has absolutely no significance on his Celtic career, I mean absolutely * all... As I said before Brendan Rodgers lost a Euro Qualifying game ta effin Lincoln Red Gimps.. he did OK..

    Ange wouldn't be first choice manager by 99.9% of us .. but * me some of the nonsense now is ridiculous..

    The board are * they have rightly * us again but at least give they guy a fighting chance.. support the team or * off is my opinion.. judge him on what he does next season, everything else is just guessing. Hrs our next manager like it or not

    Mon the Celts and * the board

    Are you talking about the old manager or the new manager?

    If we got Mourinho, Howe or whoever, there would still be people moaning, you can't win at the end of the day.

    Sorry, I beg to differ.

    I think the mood had been a bit more jolly than it is at the moment, had we hired either of the two you mention. Or any manager who wasn't unknown to most people three weeks ago.

    Where is my so called "blind optimism"?

    Are you illiterate? Or did you just engage in a bit of selective reading?

    I already stated I have reservations, and identified them.

    As for the definition of hunnery, turning on your fellow fans, engaging in one-upmanship, bandwagon thinking, witch hunting and xenophobia are all, to my mind, key identifiers of Der Hun, all of which I've witnessed on these forums since Posteglocous name was first mentioned.

    So yeah, it's * Hun behaviour.

    Surely this has to be announced tomorrow. Can't let it drag on in to the Euros.
