mio Posted Monday at 03:53 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:53 PM They’ll definitely want him but I just can’t see him wanting to walk into that toxicity. He’s far too sensible and level headed for those loonballs. im not even convinced he’s money orientated. He’s ambitious but I don’t see him moving to any other club in Scotland. I see him wanting a job in England eventually. anyway, I’m 100% sure he’s focused on the Hibs game. As we should be too and not flapping. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:58 PM I doubt Celtic will rush an appointment, I think they will bring ONeill back to see them until the seasons end. If JBA leaves us it will not be mid season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Why would Celtic “definitely want him” at this stage??? The last thing they need right now is another project manager who, let’s face it, doesn’t really have much of a pedigree in management yet. Yes he’s been great for us overall but he’s been here six months and couldn’t buy a league win for the first two of them. I don’t mean to upset the stat shaggers but he literally didn’t oversee a league match win until the last Saturday in September and let’s not forget our complete no show in the LCSF. A lot of our fans are getting carried away over how good JBA has been/could possibly be. If this was the summer and we had just finished 2nd or 3rd and/or won the Scottish Cup and Celtic were looking for a new manager then yes it would be far more likely, but they need to salvage their clusterfuck of a season and that’s why it will most likely be Martin O’Neill who comes back in on an interim basis.

Orinoco Posted Monday at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:36 PM Its all ifs and buts. Celtic cant gamble again. They will need an experienced manager with proven pedigree. Jens would not get the time to implement his style. Pressure and stresses that go with having to win every game might not be as enjoyable as watching our club grow with his leadership. Would he even have the same control? Also he has seen what type of characters are in that celtic dressing room. Big egos and lack of professionalism, much like alot of big clubs just now. Seems player power is becoming harder to control. Does a club of that stature take the risk that Jens could control them at this time. Although he is working miracles with us, he still is inexperienced and its still early days for him. Sure Celtic offers more money but unless he wins league and cups straight away, he would be deemed another failure. He might back himself, but does he need the hassle that goes with being manager of a club in total crisis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted Monday at 06:12 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:12 PM I’ve got to say though if Celtic do re-appoint Martin O’Neill then should we be worried about O’Neill’s wife approaching JBA to take her out for expensive coffees down the Kings Road in London given her husband’s increased commitments? 😱 😱 😱 Hate to say it but you’ve got to wonder if our cuddly wee diddy team could compete with that kind of offer… 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is media driven hysteria fueled by fans who think that they have a right to win every single game in every competition they play. The actual reality is that they are sitting two points AHEAD of an excellent Motherwell side who have hardly put a foot wrong all season. They have a squad of players that any other team in the league can only dream of and a bank balance that will allow them to buy their way out of any domestic trouble in January. Any half decent manager (JBA included) would take Celtic to the league title this season if given the chance. The rhetoric from the media is genuinely laughable. Of course it sells papers and gets hits on websites so it is a very lucrative perfect storm to manifest. Nancy looked haunted, Luke McCowan is haunted, the players and fans are devastated, it is apparently a crisis the likes of which the history of mankind has never seen etc etc... It is total, made up nonsense!!! Fortunately, I don't think JBA will be exotic enough a name for Celtic but would he do well with Celtic, yes! Would he go if approached, definitely yes!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted Monday at 06:58 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:58 PM I'm not sure JBA, or any current manager, will do well with Celtic until they sort out the behind-the-scenes issues. It's becoming more and more common at larger clubs for coaches and managers to take the blame for the incompetence of the more senior people making the decisions. From Rangers to Manchester Utd or from Celtic to West Ham. It will take more than a decent manager to sort out their core issues. No doubt JBA has a future elsewhere at some point, but he needs the same freedom to make the decisions and do things his way that he gets at Fir Park.

It is total, made up nonsense!!! Fortunately, I don't think JBA will be exotic enough a name for Celtic but would he do well with Celtic, yes! Would he go if approached, definitely yes!! The actual reality is that Celtic are six points adrift in a League they usually win at a canter, having deservedly lost to the League leaders home and away. They have lost 6 League matches this half season which is one less than they lost in the previous two full League seasons combined. They failed to turn up for a Cup Final and were outplayed by a team that currently sits third bottom in the League. On the evidence of their visit to Fir Park, several players look disinterested and the others look bewildered at the tactics they are being asked to follow. They lost to us for the first time in a decade. Following a defeat to their detested rivals they are now managerless and the person responsible for recruitment has also been sacked (Those departures although welcomed cause further uncertainty). And those rivals who a few weeks ago were dead and buried are now equal on points with Celtic. So for a Club like Celtic that is most certainly a crisis. That does not mean they don't have the resources and desire to turn things round. They could well do so. The Media hysteria is a result of that crisis but not the cause of it. The cause is their performance on the pitch combined with a Board that is disconnected with the views of the majority of their fans. And long may it continue.

The problem Celtic have is that their fans will still want them to win the league and they cant afford another manager to come in and not hit the ground running. They need a sure thing now. I reckon they will give Martin O'Neill the gig until the end of the season and review the situation then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted Monday at 07:09 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:09 PM I get what you say and agree crisis would suggest a serious and dangerous situation and perhaps too strong a word for a sporting event. Perhaps complete disarray would be more appropriate. Celtic is not a united club. There appears to be many issues on and off the park. They are now onto their fourth manager of the season. Given the money that has went into Celtic over recent years, there decline in standards are due to gross mismanagement. Their board have shown no ambitions over than just beating Rangers. Would an ambitious manager be happy with just that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted Monday at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:13 PM I hope they give it to O'Neill. If we can keep Jens to the summer we could end up in Europe and potentially win the cup. It's also difficult to recruit a manager mid season even in the position we're in at the moment. My other concern with Celtic needing a new manager is that Welsh could now get recalled.

wellsince75 Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:23 PM The chances of Celtic going for any other SPL manager at any point in time are remote - Tony Mowbray is the only one I can think of and that was after 100+ successful games with Hibs, add to that 4+ years of being a Celtic player. Aberdeen would be the more likely club to want JBA but even at that I think they'll want someone with a more proven record. I do think JBA is likely to leave at the end of the season, there's plenty of English clubs who'll take notice and given his professional record of not sticking anywhere too long I do think he'll move on, but for now we get to enjoy what he and the club have created.
