    OK so you're a spokesman for the Celtic support <laugh>

    And I don't 'get after everyone' ...

    ... most people can have a reasonable conversation whether we agree or not.

    I'm not the only one who thinks you're automatically negative so don't pretend you haven't noticed.

    I don't think I've ever seen you happy about anything to do with the club, either as Exile or now.

    Great to see your posts on here and some real first hand knowledge ...

    ... if Jansen does come to Sunderland I hope you can see a few games and comment on what you see.

    Tbh, it’s impossible at this stage to predict . There’s every chance we’ll lose the likes of Clarke and others with every chance of several new signings so any prediction made now is a bit pointless imo.

    His lass is steering him away from phone boxes so there’s nowhere for him to have an argument in ;-)

    You can try and compare Bruce and Rosenior, but it would be like comparing Reid and Rosenior I suppose, were Rosenior to get the job here. They are from different eras.

    Again, I am not sure how British coaches have lower ceilings. It doesnt really have much to do with nationality at all. It is about ability, work ethic and of course having the right people and players around you. I couldnt honestly say McKenna or Martin arent going to outshine Maresca or Slott because they are British. If I were a betting man I would have a couple of quid that in 5 years time the two British lads may well be at a higher level.

    I'm not making direct technical comparisons mate ...

    ... I just don't see Rosenior as any more exciting than Heckingbottom and can't see him ever being a top manager.

    To be honest you're such a whinger that if Rosenior was the favourite, you'd say you wanted Jansen. You just can't be happy, and accept that the club is doing something decent, do me a favour and go back otr and do your whinging there
