\u00a0\u2018We agreed that if we win the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n
Well, lets hope that statement comes back and bites him on the arse. So to speak, I’ll think we’ll leave his arse where it is for now.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n On the players, Deila told us;<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a lot of consistency in the squad and Neil Lennon has done a fantastic job,I have to do a lot of the same things and take the positives that are there.<\/p>\n \u201cThe defence has been fantastic and it\u2019s about creating my type of player over time. I will look to stay attacking on the field but not do too many different things in the beginning.<\/p>\n \u201cThe players have to feel safe and we have to progress over time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a very good squad,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u201cIt is good in Scotland and we always want to be in the Champions League so that\u2019s the standard.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to create players and we have to get players in who can play at that European standard and that takes time, but now a lot of players have done well and play in their national teams, so everything is there to have a good season.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0On Stefan Johansen, the man he sold to Celtic in January-he said ( Hang on did he know then he was coming ? Thats what they say about Stein selling Simpson to Celtic when he was at Hibs…)<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n “He sent me a text message to tell me he was happy at my appointment, but I spoke to him about three weeks ago in Str\u00f8msgodset.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “He was telling me he\u2019s really enjoying being at Celtic and living in Glasgow and I can understand why he said that because, already, it\u2019s been fantastic for me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI want to get the best out of every player. If you\u2019re at Celtic you have to improve. You can\u2019t be satisfied with how you are.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “If you\u2019re going to go forward in football, everyone needs to progress and you have to work hard as one group and go in the same direction, and if we do that we\u2019ll get good results and win trophies.\u201d<\/p>\n The press can’t praise him enough. \u00a0I’m sorry, that should read ” The press can’t praise him at all. ”<\/p>\n The Record had the headline<\/p>\n No, I can’t see the point he’s making either.<\/p>\n The Daily Mails Stephen McGowan warned…<\/p>\n It\u2019s undeniable that Deila ia a risky choice. He has never managed in the Champions League but will be expected to negotiate three rounds of qualifying within six weeks. Failure will place him under immediate and sustained pressure.<\/p>\n How a Scandinavian coach with no experience of British football will cope with the demands and pressure of Celtic is the million dollar question. At Stromsgodset the average crowd was 6000. At Celtic they will be ten times that on European nights. This is a club where managers with greater experience than Ronny Deila have been chewed up and spat out like old tobacco.<\/p>\n …..in an insular landscape like Scotland people are already racking their brains for examples of Norwegian managers succeeding in British football.<\/p>\n Because that matters….\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Then there was Roddy Forsyth in the Telegraph, which takes itself seriously as far as newspapers go, which makes it surprising that Forsyth is given a job there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No, no….Norway. Its a bit to the left of Sweden.<\/em><\/p>\n What on earth has Paul le Guen got to do with it ? Why not compare it to Wim Jansens success in stopping the ten ? Oh, I think we know why….<\/em><\/p>\n Celtic attempted to lure legends and were rebuffed. Roy Keane turned them down with a characteristic touch of disdain, saying that he would not \u201ctake a pay cut for anybody\u201d.<\/p>\n He was credited with that quip, yes, but I think it was more along the lines of “I don’t wish to be considered for the job ” when he withdrew from the race for the job- a line he took when he realised that Lawwell was serious when he thanked him for his time and said there were other people he wanted to talk to. If Keane wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t have turned up for the interview.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Henrik Larsson was savvy enough to appreciate the need to supplement his managerial experience before taking charge of the club where he has the status of a demigod.<\/p>\n Er, no. Larsson was under contract, he said so, and he has been known to honour contracts. No matter who tries to entice him out of them. Martin O’ Neill says Manchester Utd offered \u00a314m for him, but Larsson wasn’t interested.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Having reached fruitlessly for charisma,Celtic were beguiled by a man from nowhere, which – with respect to the undoubtedly professional and enthusiastic board and staff of Stromsgodset IF – is exactly where their team was located on the map of Hoops fans\u2019 knowledge of the world game.<\/p>\n And Forsyths…<\/em><\/p>\n The implication here is that Deila has no charisma or personality.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Yes , he does seem a shy, retiring type.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\nRonny Deila’s mum doubted he’d<\/h1>\n
make a career out of football but landing<\/h1>\n
Celtic job has changed her mind<\/h1>\n
Celtic beguiled by Ronny Deila, the man from nowhere<\/h1>\n
It would take a great deal to turn a team from Drammen into a crisis but Paul Le Guen\u2019s failure at Ibrox is a warning<\/h2>\n
