    If this goes the way most of us think hopefully the anger will be directed at the clowns who appointed him and not at somebody who has quite rightly took the chance to manage at what will be his biggest club .
    After a season in which we were an embarrassment on and off the park and which a fairly high profile manager was needed more than ever given the state of us on the pitch this is the best they can come up with ?
    Desmond and the board are a busted flush , its sickening to think of how far they could actually set the club back .
    Everyone will hopefully get behind the new manager but will hopefully not forget whos actually to blame here !!

    Eddie Howe won eff all in his career.. look I don't want to go down the Eddie Howe argument again.. its of no relevance to Celtic anymore..* him..

    We all have doubts, I think more than likely it will be a disaster but I'm not going lose my reason over a result in the Japanese cup.. I will now judge him on his transfers, team selection, tactics and results at Celtic

    This is coming from a nation that dress men in baby costumes, cheered on by lassies in schoolgirl outfits with purple hair, as the old guys are fed laxative chocolate milk and timed on who * first. * that happily clap oot a * will give a more than generously clap a guy leaving a football team :84:

    You brought up Howe :56:

    I will do the same, I haven't written him off or said he's certain to fail but I get why fans are going through his results pre-celtic with a fine tooth comb. We knew * all of him until two weeks ago and any football game he presides over until he's in Glasgow is relevant to us, that was my original point. Mocking fans for showing an interest in his teams performance is bizarre for me.

    This joke will set us back years.
    Last year was a blip when in comparison to recent success. If we brought in a Howe or equivalent and won the title straight back, it would have deflated the huns big time.
    But now, we'll be years behind where we should be.

    I did, fair dinkum:56:

    No one is mocking anyone going through his past career but as seen above from Sean one results on his last day as manager in a cup game seems to be the focus point.. is his team not second in the league? Was it a full strength team? Do they give a * about the Emperors Cup...? Sounds important mind ha

    I am not a fan of this Ange coming in, that's if he is and it is made official. His success will depend on him getting the right backroom staff in, his own backroom staff. I think people who are judging him on this so called shock cup defeat are being a bit premature. Yes I know his coaching has all been in J League and A League , it does raise a few eyebrows and it does concern me tha this is our Pedro moment. But if he is the named manager then we have to accept it and pray to * he comes good. But its stupid to judge on one game, a cup game at that. We have had plenty of our own shock defeats and there are plenty every season from Leagues around the footballing world. Remember our away defeat to Red Imps, a certain managers first competitive game ? We all know how that season went, imagine if he was judged on that one game ???

    Sean was pulling your * about your spelling :giggle1: I literally have no idea about the cup, or the lineup, or anything as I have no clue about Japanese football. All I know is in cup football a team 3 divisions below knocking you out is a very bad result, regardless of the circumstances.

    They didn’t beat us 1-0 mate?

    I’m clearly at it there but you seriously can’t believe we didn’t lose a game of football to them because we beat the the next game.

    Regardless of the decision that has brought him to us, Angela is the new manager and I will back him to the hilt. I hope he is a rip roaring success and if he is I will doff my cap to the board for appointing him.

    I said the same about Ronny Deila too. I thought it was a bold move but also a big risk. This is in the same category for me.

    Let's hope it is a stroke of genius.

    When RD was hired we had no competition, for the life of me i canny understand what the Board are thinking here, plucking this guy out of obscurity, it's utter madness.

    It's looking like July before this guy will be in place, that'll be over 4 months without a manager, that's mind blowing incompetence even for our Board.

    How was this manager plucked out of obscurity? There are 100's of coaches out there available and we bring in this unknown. Next season is NOT a season for experiments.
