We’ve seen the list.<\/p>\n
1: Owen coyle<\/p>\n
2: Mark McGhee<\/p>\n
3: That bloke with the glasses who looks like Martin O’ Neill<\/p>\n
4: Put an advert in the paper.<\/p>\n
What we also have seen is the list provided by chief scout John Park.<\/p>\n
1: John Park<\/p>\n
None of it matters though, because quite simply Dermot Desmond will choose someone who has that ” look in his eye” where Celtic is concerned, and that frankly means that if Henrik Larsson doesn’t want the job, he’ll ask Roy Keane. and if he decides against working for minimum wage, then Owen Coyle it is.<\/p>\n
Despite Murdo MacLeod touting Larsson for the job, presumably in the hope he’ll need an experienced, if talentless, no.2<\/p>\n
“I’m still in touch with Henrik and I disagree with anyone who says he does not have enough experience because Neil Lennon came in without any at all,” said Macleod, speaking at the Footgolf Open event at Cowal Gold Club. “He would be 100% up for it and when you have a coach who wants to come back to the club that is a good thing to have.<\/p>\n
Er, Lennon worked with Strachan and Mowbray. As a coach. Not really coming in ” without any at all “<\/em><\/p>\n “That [the contract situation] is a big one, but if Celtic want him just go and get him. Look after the club in Sweden. If it takes a transfer fee, pay it.”<\/p>\n I think its more a case that Larsson wants to honour his contract. He’s known for that sort of thing.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where Keane is concerned, theres a clue in what Martin O’ Neill says about his assistant;<\/p>\n \u2018I would say that he would make a good manager, I have always said this about Roy Keane. I think the experiences he has had at Sunderland and Ipswich will stand him in good stead. Maybe, having been brought in himself at the last minute by Desmond to take over at Celtic, he knows a bit more about how things work in the east end of Glasgow than most…<\/p>\n What has Johann Mjallby done to upset them ? Now that the dust has settled from Lennons departure, and cool heads are discussing the next step, Mjallby would have been the obvious choice, but he’s gone already, which means he knew he was never going to get the job, especially if Lawwells telling the truth when he said that Lennons departure wasn’t a surprise.<\/p>\n Lennons departure wasn’t a surprise, it was a surprise that he quit over something as relatively trivial as a wee bit of help with the coaching, bearing in mind McGrain is off work for a while, and Mjallby had left.<\/p>\n Perhaps he was just fed up. We’ve all had that banging our head against the wall feeling, and maybe he just ran out of paracetamol.<\/p>\n Not only could it be argued that the influence of Lawwell and John Park was restrictive, but he had to contend with a lot off the field as well. Kevin McKenna in the Observer sums it all up, and asks a few difficult questions.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, these questions are being asked a little late-although McKenna has asked them before- and noone took him up on it then, so theres no reason why they will now.<\/p>\n For all that, his article is the best piece written about the Lennon years, and if you haven’t read it yet, do it now;<\/p>\n
\n\u2018He has this opportunity to come with me as my assistant here at this moment, but I have often said to you that he will be a manager.\u2019<\/p>\n
