New manager

Genuinely giving up club football if he gets the job.

 

* genuinely does not matter who our manager is. Until the club is run properly, by the right people, we'll never be on the right track

 

It does matter though.

We were run the same way going from Deila to Rodgers. No difference there? Or Lennon to Ange?

Don't get me wrong, the structure needs to change for sustained success, but a good manager can bring us great times despite how the club is run

 

Every one of those managers were badly hamstrung by the board and the clubs inadequacy at numerous points of their tenures.

I'm not sure how many more of these great times i can handle tbh.

I'd say the last manager to REALLY bring great times to the club, in the proper sense, is the 73 yr old guy in the dugout just now. 22 years ago.

 

Knutsen does favour the 4-3-3 system and it's been very successful for Bodo/Glimt under his guidance. There is one major difference from Rodger's inflexible use of the 4-3-3 system, and that is, Knutsen does adapt it to suit, when the situation demands, like if the opposition build with two deeper pivots, then Knutsen’s original 4-3-3 shape defends in a 4-1-4-1. Plus, I think if Knutsen does get the gig, he would look to bring in the right kind of midfielders in particular, that would make the 4-3-3 system potent again for us. Knutsen’s tactics have been hugely successful domestically and have also achieved great results in the Europa, so he is tried and tested, we could do a lot worse. And most posters on here had Knutsen high on their wanted list, including me, and some have wanted him to be our manager for years. If we do get Knutsen, I think it would be a major coup for Celtic, with a very successful and experienced manager in charge.

 

I agree they were hamstrung.

However, you don't think a historic quadruple treble under Rodgers/Lennon or Ange tenure was great times?

That's a sad outlook.

 

I guess we've just got different opinions of what Celtic greatness looks like.
