    Fair enough Virgo was pish
    We made 1m profit on Sno
    Brown can still come good, he is an investment
    JVoH is a great player, we knocked back 7m for him, he's a Dutch international striker!
    Rangers have beaten us 5 times in 3 years in all competitions. I think they have been quite unlucky against us.

    The 4th of September?

    Even by the excellent standards set last season that is quick for the first 'Strachan must go' thread of the campaign. :56:

    That's because Spanish clubs can't win the SPL stupid.

    Hope it wasnt English. Should read "too well" not "to well":86:

    Managers are judged after their stint at the club IMO. there were times when I thought MON was * (like after we went out the Cup to ICT).

    I have listened and applauded to dyed in the wool Tims over the years supporting our management teams and players throughout, even during the Huns 9 in row. Remember those days! However I agree with Jmmibhoy, his stats are spot on and if you really, really look at Strachs record, yes it shows success, but come on bhoys during 2 of the Huns worst seasons in their history and a long euro season for #3. If you are comfortable speaking of him in the same breath as big Jock then I fear we're doomed. Celtic FC is about us the fans and we should never accept 2nd best. Tell me we can stave off Ronaldo, Teves, Rooney, in Old Trafford with our current squad, face a VR team that boasts 7 spanish internalionists, Aalborg who apprently would beat the socks off Kaunas. DD has got the club finances under control, now its time to build. I have no doubt Strach will remain for the season but I dont think he will go beyond that. Lets hope we get the 4 lets hope we make the last 8 of the CL, lets hope Fergie, Smyth and the rest dont spoil our party. When wee John Collins became free I thought we should have spoken with him and as for players, Billy Mc Neill said it on CTV, "I like the Dutch.".... I, like Swedes and Danes and Spaniards and surely we can cast our net wider than Hibbies, buddies, sheepies and any other decent SPL player that shows up each season. Skill, entertainment, excitment, goals and guts thats the Celtic way. Jinky, Dixie, the king of kings - The bear, Grant, Mc Stay and BURNS. We are a global brand and one of the biggest clubs in the world-just remember that, and thats why we desrve the best and thats why we should be regular competitors in the last 8 CL and more. When I travel across the shuck to the games and go to europe I expect more and so should you. Im feed up seeing beatings in europe losing 1 to motherwell last year spending 1000's, i just want a manager that I THINK can bring us to the next level and possess the powers of persuasion and motivation to bring foreign players to Glasgow-Henrich would be the typical person on a part time basis on the payroll to take that spot.If he cant do then nobody can. Hail hail bhoys I always have and will keep the faith, btw I have opposed the wee man from day one and will continue to do so. He did no more than I would have expected in his three years given the Rangers circumstances. I do applaud the faithful and respect your postion, mine is just different but we all love our great club and thats what really counts.

    Managers take the credit when they sign good players, if the player doesn't perform because he isn't good enough then it's the MANAGERS fault for signing him.

    Everyone has a few duds yes. But out of 36 you'd expect at least a dozen crackers.

    Out of 36 he's got about half a dozen who were worth it.

    People keep talking about making money on Sno...we signed him to play football not make money....and he was *, total *. Another wgs nightmare.

    Balance it against the fortune lost on Graveson or Donati or Virgo etc etc.

    True fans speak their mind, even if it hurts, open your eyes to what's going on.

    Na not english thank *, chartered accountants exams.

    Just fed up of all the 'get the manager out' the real problem i think lies with the board, although we maybe just don't have the finances.

    We have to remember that the board are here to run the business. What we dont want is to get ourselves into a position whereby we end up with debts like the great unwashed across the city. The last 3 years we have won the title while still reducing our debt - amazing.

    Don't make false statements, i never implied MON was *.
    He had a very poor last season and made a lot of mistakes, very expensive ones, was only pointing it out.
    I'll never forget being in the stadium in seville thanks to MON. Even though i'm apparently not a real fan (Well, according to some of the children in here).

    Also, when did i say Stein was a good manager?

    Never assume.

    You implied it by saying he lost twice to a 'ginger diddy'.

    I think its a pretty fair assumption to make that you would think Stein was a good manager. Although point taken.

    It's not my job to headhunt managers and i don't pretend to know the market throughout europe.
    However, i don't for one second think there's not lots of managers out there who wouldn't think Hinkel, Wilson, Caldwell, Virgo, Sno, McCourt, Donati, M Brown, Killen (My * so many bad players i forgot THAT one, what a joke) are fit to wear celtic jerseys.

    I didn't know much about Jansen, he delivered.

    Had never heard of Wenger, he delivered.

    I do think guys like McGhee, Moyes and even Keane at this stage in his career would do a job for us better than strachan.

    I don't accept for a second no one out there's better than strachan.

    Perhaps we should all stay quiet and pretend we're happy?
    Just like old times?

    Who gives a toss what they think? I don't.

    Has Gordon Strachan not delivered???

    We can go round in circles with this one but facts are facts. He has delivered 3 in a row as the banners from the Jungle Bhoys point out!!

    You are entitled to your opinion mate but i've never seen such negativity from a Celtic supporter - I hope you're not a season ticket holder!
