The Ronny Deila Thread

Comes across really well.

 

i like this guy

 

We'll have to see if he gets his own range like Lenny :smiley-laughing002:

 

Hey, Strømsgodset supporter here. I just registered to give you an idea of the brilliance you're about to sign. I'm just gonna copy/paste what I wrote in a different football forum:

Brilliant signing by Celtic, but as a Strømsgodset supporter, this makes me really sad...


Background:
Played for Strømsgodset until 2008, when he retired as a player at the age of 32. He then took over as a manager, when Fagermo left the team. During these 6 years, Deila managed to turn a bottom half team of no-namers into a force to reckon with. He won the Norwegian Cup in 2010, finished 2nd in the league in 2012, and won the league in 2013. This was with minimal resources, while constantly losing his best players.


Personality:
Deila is pretty much the Norwegian Jürgen Klopp. He's young, passionate, has a clear philosophy, expects a lot from his players, and knows how to squeeze out every last drop of talent. No manager in Norway for a really long time has been better than Deila at developing youth. He's constantly had to sell his best players, but he always manages to bounce back. He's not been able to sign any big names either, but that has not stopped him.

Deila's football is all about attack. He wants his defense line to stay high up the pitch, and nothing makes him more angry than when the other team manages to push his team back. He wants to dominate possession and create a shitload of chances. Sometimes his football is very pass-and-move, other times it's more quick and counter-attacking. It all depends on the game. As long as his team is the one setting the tempo and pushing the other team back, it doesn't matter.

Although he is a passionate down-to-earth guy, he's very calm and collected during interviews. He's also surprisingly polite and humble. They will often invite him to the football studios as an expert, because he's a very intelligent guy as well. Most football supporters in Norway seems to have a high opinion on him, even supporters from rival teams.

He generally likes to play 4-3-3, with offensive fullbacks.


What Celtic can expect:
Attacking football and focus on youth development. There will be no more parking the bus in Champions League under Deila. This is the man who tried to make his players constantly attack when Strømsgodset played Atletico Madrid in the Europa League a couple of years ago. He fears no opponent, and is not willing to sit back.

Seeing as Deila is the type of manager who wants every player to perform as well as possible, I think he'll put most of his focus on Europe. Seeing as Celtic already is pretty much guaranteed to win the league, it will be hard for him to motivate the players like he did when he managed an underdog team like Strømsgodset.

In addition to this, he's got a Mourinho-esque home record! In fact, his team recently got the record for most consecutive home league games without defeat(44 games). This is the same record as the legendary Rosenborg team of the 90s, which is the only Norwegian club in history who could hope to play European football and do a decent job. If Deila can avoid a loss in the next game, then Strømsgodset will break Rosenborg's record. ​

I fear that he, as a not yet proven manager, won't be in a position to control transfers. But, a non-UK manager is a refreshing change for the club. I hope he'll take into account the weather and the state of pitches from late Autumn up to Spring, when planning the footballing style of the team. Pragmatism here is needed.

A question for the Norwegians on here: how did he set his team out when the weather was bad?

 

Aye, lets see how he looks in a Parka staring down a camera lens

 

lawell saying ronny was top of the list of people to speak to. i actually believe him
