    My anger will never be directed towards Postecoglou. He would have been off his head not to take the job. He must be thanking his lucky stars to be given such an opportunity at a club our size. The board have rolled the dice at a time when we cannot gamble.

    Chris Sutton is an absolute * *.. He thinks he's hilarious, bout as funny as a kick in the bollix... he should be ignored regarding all things Celtic

    I will direct anger at him if he turns to be a meek yes man. I've already accepted his tactical inadequacy as a part of him. But I demand honesty and a willingness to call things the way they are. Ideally, when/if he fails, it will be while exposing our board.

    And what's a reasonable timeframe for him IF it starts going wrong? Do we give him the season? 6 months? 3 months?

    We all know this can go 2 ways,either he blows us all away or this is our Pedro moment.

    Another reason why i don't want to see ex players like Larsson anywhere near this....The pressure on this guy already is monumental,in a way i feel sorry for him already....but if he doesnt cut it,hes gone.

    Nothing better for many to be proven wrong here and i hope he does well.

    I like the fella, but Sutton was disgraceful to Deila during his time here, of course Deila wasn't good enough but his attitude throughout his tenure was abysmal, yet he was oddly quiet during Lennon's failure.

    He'll most likely be the same towards Ange, even if we're doing good.

    I think that is the main reason he got the job mate. He would have been off his head not to take it, and I get that. This is on the board. They have allowed us to get into this mess we are in. The least they can do now is back him and give him a fighting chance, but they didn’t with Deila, so I’ve no reason to think otherwise now. We are a shambles of a club just now.

    He was right about Deila though.

    Least we might rally against anycunt that slags the new guy though, pretend we haven’t been doing the same for weeks

    The treatment from him towards Ron was disgraceful, Sutton is an arrogant * who thinks his word is gospel

    Well said.

    He´s not my preferred option by a long stretch, but now he´s here. Hopefully most fans will back him from the off.
    But he´s coming in on the back of 9 months of chaos and disorder, there´s unrest within the fanbase.
    It´s likely that at least parts of the media will tear him apart if it doesn´t click right away.
    Being almost unknown will not help his case, he needs to hit the ground running.

    That was another case where the problem wasn’t the manager, it was the board. Sutton should have been going all out on the board, but instead he beat Deila. Then didn’t with Lennon unsurprisingly.

    We all know he’s going to get 100% support for the fans, I just hope the board back up there convictions.

    Not yet mate I don't think.

    Still a * of alot of unknowns. Interesting that he said he's been working for weeks on targeting players. That's the most important thing for me now.
