fudge27 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Heard something on radio earlier about Heckingbottom spouting about how he did some good stuff at Leeds, and if they're honest they'll acknowledge that, and it's a shame it was all behind the scenes and nobody else can know it. Do people there have to spout absolute poo as a rule of thumb or is it just a happy coincidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he trying to take some sort of credit for their recent promotion and decent first season back in the Prem? This is a man who went up to Hibs and was an unmitigated disaster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish press are saying that Howe has been offered the job at the Lane and turned it down. Personally I don’t think he’d be a great appointment for Celtic but it seems they’re all in now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t think he’d be a great appointment for Celtic but it seems they’re all in now. Seems like they're gambling on Howe being the next Rodgers. I get the thought process, but easy to forget that Rodgers managed Liverpool before taking the Celtic job. Think that quite often people are quick to discount the size of Celtic and Rangers because of the so-so level of the SPL. What they forget is that the standards for those two are pretty much as demanding as anywhere. You've got to win every single week and coming second in a two horse race just isn't good enough. Rodgers was already used to similar levels of expectations when he went to Celtic park and Gerrard was too even though he hadn't managed yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWEDFM Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I don't think Howe is a good fit for a club as big as Celtic. He's a decent manager and did very well at Bournemouth but expectation was low. At Celtic there is no room for error or finishing second. They're expected to win comfortably every week. I'm suprised they didn't offer the job to Rafa Benitez (unless they did) as I think he would have been ideal for a club like Celtic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a Blessin in disguise I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Saw that about the blessing guy. What are the rules on foreign managers now? I know it’s harder to sign foreign players now we are out of Europe but not sure about managers. Doesn’t seem to have much history before this season?

Ever the pessimist Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Always find it uncomfortable supporting Leeds when they play pigs. I imagine Churchill felt the same when having to side with Stalin over Hitler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
