If Gerrard gets us to the CL and wins the league this season then I'd hazard a guess he would be off at the end of the season. The movement of managers down south means that a job will always be available.

You'd like to think that we are already looking for potential replacements already and that will dictate any future success.

Kev Thomson and Fergie would be an interesting appointment.

I don't think the Celtic board are Charlatans but I do think they got arrogant beyond any comprehension. They banked on the Celtic players continuing to win just because they are good players. The banked on Lennon coming in and just keeping things going and perhaps getting another Barcelona night to sell pictures and mugs of.

They probably sat in their board room meeting praising each other on their footballing genius when the reality is it was Rangers who crumbled and outwith Rodgers first 2 seasons we hadn't really improved.

The board arrogantly thought Rangers would crumble again and we would get the 10 and then they would sell millions of pounds worth of merchandise and they would pat themselves on the back on being football geniusnesses
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Large parts of the Celtic support were of the same opinion and there was obviously some form thinking that it would be great for lennon to come back and win the 10.

The board greatly underestimated how good a manager Rodgers was, and his success since leaving Celtic reflects that.

I'm not so certain they underestimated how good a manager Rodgers is, but how good a manager you need to have to keep up the success. I think they just bought into the idea that the gap was gigantic and only really needed somebody who knew the club.

They are the types of appointments that back fire on you massively. Gerrard was inexperienced but he was a house hold name who has player pulling power and generates income.

I'd like to think that our board recognises the importance of getting a manager that can sign players that others can't

For me it's not just all about the manager, it's the backroom team aswell.....that for me is where Celtic have been massively complacent of late, even with Postecoglou

We would not be where we are without Gerrard
Gerrard would not have the rep as a manager that he has now without the backroom team we brought in to support him

Gerrard will in a lot of cases at least get a player to listen to his pitch.Not sure Barry or Kevin have that allure.Anyhoo i'm not overl obsessed about it being someone "connected" to the club
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think Gerrard and his staff have totally bought into what Rangers are all about and they will be in no rush to leave. Sure he will get the Liverpool gig eventually but he's in no rush to cut away from Rangers.

Seriously, I know these things need some advance prep but it speaks volumes that we're planning 10iar memorabilia but not players. A revenue machine, not a football machine. Hi-balls not footballs.

the "celtic da's" are the worst, to rangers and celtic fans.

"sevco"

"neil francis lennon"

simply could not accept that rangers were winning the league last year.

15 points behind - "nah they'll crumble, 10 in a row"

total maniacs man.

What Celtic have done with big Ange is exactly what we did with Pedro

Brought in a manager who doesn't know the league, and did so before getting a DOF in place, meaning it's all on him, so he will likely go for players he either knows or who have impressed him previously, with no clue how suited they are to the Scottish League

Agreed. If he's got a Rangers background great but fine if not. If all else is equal sure go with the Rangers one. But I'm not keen on sentimentality for the sake of it.

I think that is it exactly. Just assumed the players would keep being amazing.

Look I even said if anyone would be great to see get the 10 it's Lennon but that doesn't mean I wanted him. I remember getting on the buss with Master Ginger after the Treble Treble final. Absolutely ecstatic at making history. Buss is buzzing, great atmosphere. Get the radio on driver

BOOM announcement of Lennon permanent and the atmosphere went flat instantly. That said a lot about how people felt.

I disagree. He'll know he's not going to go from Rangers to Liverpool. He will need a EPL job for a couple of years beforehand.

I know it got laughed at with Warburton and rightly so, but I think if Southgate packs it up after the WC then Gerrard will be high on FA shortlist.

The absolute worst thing about this is they knew how it would be received, they waited till the most opportune moment to do it, hoping you would be too happy to be raging.

i honestly despise them, i genuinely hate them.

warburton didn't get a fair crack imo, a victim of over confidence in terms of what rangers being "back" meant the first season.

if he was given the money the rest had i'm sure he could build a good squad.

Celtic weren't getting the Lennon that left the first time. He had a terrible run of appointments that, in any other circumstances, wouldn't have even made him a contender.

Rangers doing so well was a surprise to most people. However, it was clear to most Rangers fans that something was building.
