If I had made a post about every name I have seen or heard linked with this job I'd have more posts than Boldie!

Strap yourselves in lads this ones going to run for a wee while yet  :)up

Next there will be speculation the Jose Mourinho wants to manage Celtic :)

Strachan is just a chump.

ROFL

Have the revenues for both Celtic and rangers dipped a huge amount since O'Neil was manager? they can hardly afford transfer fee's these days and seem to stick to home grown talent that's simply not good enough  beyond the domestic game. Saying strachan is a chump sums up why anyone who manages the big two up there is on a hiding to nothing.

Maybe thats why Coyle didnt look too happy after winning play offs the other day. I would prefer to manage Burnley over Celtic just because of the rewards the Premiership can give you if you do well.

Not being funny but my nan could guide Celtic to a top two finish in the SPL. Doesnt take a great man to do it. Funny how nobody has taken Celtic to the heady heights of European finals like Martin O Neill once did! He's a great manager. Strachan is just a chump.

On the whole, how does Strachan rate with Celtic fans now he's left?

Aye, that would be the UEFA cup eh? Since when Strachan has won the league and been in the CL every season. And no European finals in 4 years, a travesty of unimagineable proportions.  ;booder;

One thing the Celtic board has definitely got better at in recent times is managing news flow.

They've leaked a few things to some of the unofficial Celtic websites in the past to bypass the usual press channels.

One of the sites they've used in the past has been touting a couple of foreign coaches - Eric Gerets and Stale Solbakken - and has also been saying things will take longer than most of the press are claiming.

Tony Mowbray is expected to be confirmed as the new manager of Celtic today. The West Bromwich Albion manager was offered the job late last night and, assuming the Coca-Cola Championship club accept a compensation fee in excess of £1m, will be unveiled on Monday.

Dermot Desmond, the principal shareholder, identified Celtic's former centre-back as the preferred candidate to succeed Gordon Strachan and Mark McGhee, who had also been in the running, will now replace Jimmy Calderwood as Aberdeen manager.

It ends a two-week search for a replacement for Strachan, who announced his resignation after failing to secure a fourth successive title. Mowbray will be assisted by Peter Grant, the former Celtic midfielder, and Neil Lennon, who will remain as first-team coach next season before embarking on his own managerial career.

Both Mowbray and McGhee were hanging by the telephone last night as Desmond, Lawwell and the rest of the plc board deliberated over the two candidates. Owen Coyle, the early front-runner, had confirmed his intention to remain at Burnley during a final TransAtlantic conversation and Mowbray's experience in the Barclays Premier League last season is believed to have given him the advantage over McGhee...............

SSN reporting compensation agreed between Celtic & WBA.

lol at how many times I've heard this in the last 3 weeks ;whistle;

Celtic messageboards saying it's a done deal?

Well that done deal took a while, but it ios now a done deal.

Happy or unhappy?

Happy for me. Best we could have hope for imo.

Seems a good manager but is he really any better than strachan i don't see how but obv a lot of ur lot didn't like him so best of luck

Tactically Strachan was very poor, he never done anything to change a game either at the start or during it.  His brand of football was a non entity he had a terrible attitude for someone in his position.  Basically he should never have got the job in the first place. 

Whereas Mowbray hasn't changed tactics once during an entire season of getting humped with West Brom?

So Celtic's draw gets a Championship manager to take over.

Taht's my view. While in the SPL his unflinching devotion to attacking football will be fine, he's going to come unstuck pretty quickly in Europe where he'll be the WBA of CL teams, unless he realises the error of his ways?

Whereas Mowbray hasn't changed tactics once during an entire season of getting humped with West Brom?

I think it is difficult with the team he had. They got promoted with decent footballers playing football. To then go and tell the likes of Brunt and Morrison they are now playing lumping football wouldn't have worked any better.

IMHO I think Mowbray has far more tactical nous than the likes of Pulis. It's just immensely difficult to play a passing game outside of the top 6-8 clubs and stay up.

Then if you have 'tactical nous', you realise you are not top 6/8, and change the gameplan, and that may mean getting rid of the players who took you up from the the league below. Stoke were favs to go down, but survived comfortably, to say Pulis had less nousthan Mowbray flies in the face of all evidence.

And if you've not got money to replace them?
