Still waiting on anyone to give me a reason for Coyle ... And people seem to think we're having to replace a Guardiola or an Ancellotti ... Or Scottish football is a top league! 1 - Coyle is ****e 2 - He KBd Celtic before Get him tae ****!
This Coyle got Burnley & Bolton relegated and nearly destroyed everything Martinez did at Wigan. What Lennon did with Celtic is no better or worse than Deila has done with Stromsgodset.
Seriously? What Lennon did after Mowbray ****ed us is sits better with me than what Delia's done in Norway. It's frightening that a complete unknown - which he was and STILL is regardless of how many fawning muppets write arse-licking articles about him like they've been tracking his career - has so many people enthralled. Coyle is ****e, I don't want him, but i'd sooner have Steve Clarke than Delia. Everyone moaned like **** about Celtic going for the cheap option but now when it appears he reads books, plays a pressing game and waves his cock at the fans, all is forgotten and Lawwell is now a savvy guy who's hunted high and low for The Next Big Thing
Lennon had it easy at Celtic, biggest budget, biggest wage bill, no real competition for 3 years out of 4. I think what he did in qualifying for the CL and the 2nd round is easily comparable to taking a team which hadn't won the league for 43 years and making them the dominant force in Norway. What has Steve Clarke done apart from a half-decent season with West Brom? They didn't even play good fitba' under him. Too many fans licking the arse of English football, every single candidate from down there is a failure. Can't say that about Deila, the guy is clearly a winner.
To be fair, turning relegation fodder into champions in ANY league is better than making the second best team in the league the best team. Not saying the Norwegian dude is a great manager or anything but as bad as the Celtic team Lennon inherited were it's not like they were bottom 6 material with a tenth of the other teams budget.
This Thank **** someone else sees the sense of going after Deila instead of one of the duds from down South.
People get unhappy about things just because they want to. Who do the people who have moaned about every name we're linked with expect us to get? Ancelotti? Klopp?
I'm just happy that the club is looking beyond the bleeding obvious names from the premiership for the manager. All other names linked I can say with conviction are proven to be a step down from Lennon but with this guy at least I can say he could have something to offer that Lennon never.
Spot on Tam. Lennon did a decent job, especially in Europe, and I can't see Clarke, MacKay or Coyle doing any better than he did. Progression is the key to the new appointment not continuance.
It was going to be Deila and Chris Coleman but they couldn't cut the mustard. I'll just never come back after that joke...
Coyle isn't my first choice, lambert is, but given the choice between Coyle and this nobody then I would go for Coyle everyday of the week. Coyle has achieved more than this guy.
