    As much as I'd gamble on Eddie "won * all" Howe

    I was still a big punter back then, I would've went in deep if Celtic were anything as big as 1/6

    After winning the previous 3 years at a canter there's no way we would've been that big in 14/15

    We really fell off a cliff under Deila at a certain point in time and that was no point of no return. For quite a while we played beautiful football under him and kept an insane amount of clean sheets on the bounce. I think the dressing room clique turned against him and his insistence on professionalism at some stage and then he just lost the head himself and we folded in on ourselves.

    I think under different circumstances Ronny may have flourished. Emphasis on the “May”.

    This. Absolutely no chance we were 1/6. We were 1/33 at an absolute maximum.

    Still not sure, however you could be right Sean. I used to keep the Racing Post's football preview every season to check this sort of thing, moving house during lockdown though I couldn't really justify bringing them all up here.

    You genuinely don't think there was any 1.04 matched on the exchanges ?

    Right if you honestly believe recruiting Nasser al-johar for the Celtic job is as much as a gamble as recruiting Eddie Howe then our conversation has run its course. You are either at the windup or just delusional am afraid.

    What makes Eddie Howe good enough for Celtic. You better be quoting some * honours here

    John Terry and Alex Neil are the most diarrhoea suggestions i’ve ever seen on this forum.

    1.04 on the exchanges for sure. That’s 1/25 minus a 5% commission though.. so pretty much 1/33.

    If there was ever a sentence to sum up the stupidity and incompetence of our board this would be it.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    I don't have to quote * all pal.

    Keeping to the point you said Ange is a world cup manager as if that in itself qualifies him for the job. I pointed our Nasser Al-Johar was also a world cup manager.

    So are you moving the goal posts here? Are you saying to qualify as a decent viable candidate the man to be must have honours and must have managed in a world cup too

    Not everyone pays 5% commission though mate. If you pay 2% commission then it is basically 1-25 and I would bet there was 1.05 and 1.06 was matched as well. So to go back to the original point the suggestion we were 1-50 or "maximum 1-33" is just wrong. We were and should have been massive fav's though.
