    And how does that reflect on Ange at all? Not within his control. If you are trying to say our Board and business team are a shambles 100% agree. It is not way something the person who is brought in at the last minute is accountable for though.

    I disagree, the fact we've blown numerous CL qualifying campaigns in recent season's - with far more settled and experienced (and winning) sides shows the level we currently operate at as a club.

    We are barely Europa material right now let alone CL. Despite Midtjylland being average over the two legs, our backline and bench was lacking so much quality for that level.

    It was a tall order to beat them over two legs with a manager just in the door, half the youth team making up the squad and the senior members of the team in awful form or wanting away.

    It certainly isn't a catastrophe by any stretch, in fact a few of us were expecting to go out.

    Aye no bother mate. Ange is the man. and if he’s not a YES man then there would be a few players that wouldn’t be in the team. It sadly ur keeps playing them.

    remember his CV as u lot talk alot about in here has * ALL in it to suggest he will be a successful manger at CELTIC FC. It’s wishful thinking

    Not sure if serious.

    A Celtic manager not getting the importance of being knocked out of the CL?

    Clearly protecting his players from the headline hunters while having a few sharp digs of his own.

    Hopefully he gets backed and we bring in players ASAP. Can't blame him for giving to work with the * we have.

    100% piling on the pressure from the off on him when we all knew that we weren't qualifying.

    We're all bitterly disappointed as it's this early on and that we played a poor team who played poorly. That's why we're raging. Not because we didn't qualify.

    We've banged the drum for near on a year now and the media said we were overreacting. We weren't. We aren't.

    The original post I was referring to was about it being Ange's fault that he was appointed so late in the day. I'm just pointing out that was never in Ange's control.

    I do agree Ange needs to have ensured he knew what he had to work with and what he could spend/do when he took on the job but that is a separate question which what Ange responded would be possible under those circumstances is likely the key point, and we don't know what that involved.

    From Denmark? I know he has to lose a few pounds but that is a bit extreme. I think he'll get a plane.

    He was right about tonight not being catastrophic. There was absolutely no chance of us qualifying for the CL anyway this season so tonight doesn't really change much. If we get beat off Jablonec then it's maybe a different story.

    Fully behind him. The backing he's had from the board so far has been a disgrace.

    Europa league is a bonus, I’ll take winning the the league this year that’s got to be our goal and he better get all support he needs from the board.

    Back Ange 100% bitter pill to swallow tonight but then most of us probably expected it. The board need chased! Doesn't matter who was the manager tonight,we would still be in the same boat. Even if we won the league last season we needed a massive over haul. The fact it was such a * show and we just * foot around getting players in is an utter disgrace. We are been taken for mugs as per. Season after season we don't prepare for these games and that's the results. Scunnered how far we have fallen in 18 months

    Europe I understand. He still needs to win the league this year to have a chance of staying I'd say.
