<\/p>\nWith the Resolution 12 isue being roundly ignored by the media, they have been desperately searching for anyone to talk about anything. Even going so far as to give ronny Deila space to tell them what he thinks of them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and like the traditonal circus, it’s struggling to get any paying customers.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Celtic<\/a>\u00a0boss insists nothing will shift his focus from delivering the double and earning another crack at the\u00a0Champions League<\/a>\u00a0next season.<\/em><\/p>\n Former Manchester United boss Moyes and ex Hoops defender Malky McKay have spoken about the attraction of the Parkhead hotseat this week, while a string of pundits have tipped Neil Lennon for a return to his old job.<\/em><\/p>\n Deila won\u2019t lose sleep over the speculation – and even laughed out loud when asked if his current position was akin to suitors trying to take a beautiful girl off his arm.<\/em><\/p>\n He said: \u201cThey want to take my job and my lady? The only thing you can do is make that lady happy so she wants to stay.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t do anything about others wanting her or the club. It\u2019s about doing your job, getting results, getting the best out of your players and carrying on.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI have been in different positions before with the media, whether it is Chris Sutton, John Hartson or whoever, but winning two more trophies for Celtic is where my focus lies.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere are also newspapers in Norway who have to fill pages and talk with different people – and that\u2019s what football should be.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt can\u2019t always be everyone saying the same things all the time. There has to be a little bit of a circus. It\u2019s okay.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhat can I say about others talking? That it is not an attractive job? Of course it is an attractive job. That\u2019s fine by me. I know that and it\u2019s why I am happy to be here.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em> \u201cYou learn from experience, that\u2019s for sure. But I have always had a belief in myself.<\/em> \u201cIt\u2019s about being in balance as a person. It\u2019s about one thing. If I crack about something it is because something else is wrong in my life. I have other things to worry about than this talk.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cEveryone knows what will make Celtic happy this season – win the league and, hopefully, the Scottish Cup.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Over at the Ibrox Evening times, there was consternation…<\/p>\n \u201cWe are talking about pre-season all the time. It has to be right,\u201d said Deila.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe are going to do a lot of the same things as last summer but try to do it even better. I think we are going to try and get a trip, while also trying to be in Scotland as well.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a little bit different but I think it will be better.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2018We are talking about pre-season all the time. It has to be right.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI always watch the Champions League because I love it, it\u2019s the best level you can watch. I watch as a supporter sometimes and also to learn and see trends and what others are doing. \u201cIt\u2019s a very good place to look at it and it doesn\u2019t cost me energy, watching these games gives me energy. I love football.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere is unbelievable quality in teams such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona, but you have other teams like Gent and Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven have also done very well.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have good generations and have built something then anything is possible, especially here at Celtic where we have the fans and Celtic Park.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Whilst there has been no public statement backing the ,manager, it could be concluded there has been a private one. Hopefully, if Deila does stay, he will emerge a more street wise boss after the summer break.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Leigh Griffiths, who has flourished under the Norwegian, added his tuppence worth;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating for us because it\u2019s disrespectful. The gaffer has got a job here and he is doing okay, we are still sitting top of the league.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSo for other managers to say they are interested in the job when there\u2019s a guy still in charge, it\u2019s poor from them.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe gaffer will just ignore it but us, as players, we get a wee bit frustrated with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Which, of course, is exactly what they hope will happen. There’s no doubt there’s a campaign of destabilisation underway. Apart from the usual nonsense, there seems to be a real fear that Celtic will not only beat Second Rangers in the cup, but inflict such damage that Mark Warburton will run out of Hampden after the game, and not stop until he reaches the confines of the M25 motorway.<\/span><\/p>\n Just as he was starting to improve the game for the benefit of all, as well.<\/p>\n Neil Lennon, now out of work since leaving bolton, has said he will look for work in the south. Much to the disappointment of the SMSM, who would love for him to drop even the tiniest hint he is interested in the job. He won’t say it, so someone has to say it for him…<\/p>\n Well, technically, someone is saying it, the ghost writer, and attributing it to Ferguson, but the idea is the same. to get people talking about the possibility.<\/p>\n although the article did give me a chuckle..<\/p>\n But what really annoys me is the queue of would be candidates all lining up to throw their hats into the ring. That\u2019s sleekit, slippery behaviour as far as I\u2019m concerned\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sleekit , slippery behaviour ? Please explain, Barry…<\/p>\n Anyway, we’ve told you the plan as far as the management goes.<\/p>\n Notice Michael o’Neill, who somehow managed to get his name in the fame, has now signed a four year deal with the regional Irish team, and thus has ruled himself out of the running…<\/p>\n Moyes, Mackay, Rodgers \u00a0and all the other hopefuls haven’t gone anywhere yet, but thats because no-one has asked them. And frankly, after his racist outbursts last year, Malky Mackay will be very careful what he says these days, even if its only “Do you want fries with that ? ”<\/p>\n There was more advice from Stuart McCall, who so nearly got Second rangers into the top league at the first time of asking should Deila wish to take it. give or take five or six goals , that is.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s no doubt Rangers have got real momentum now, Hearts and Aberdeen are getting stronger too so it\u2019s got the makings of a really good season. It all depends what happens in the summer. Rangers will have lots of sell-outs next season and with things like corporate hospitality their finances will be strong again.”<\/em><\/p>\n “It was only two months ago Rangers punters were saying they hadn\u2019t spent enough money, but they spent what they needed to. I remember saying to Dave King at the time that you don\u2019t need to spend fortunes to get out of the Championship.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Well, he’d know, I suppose.<\/p>\n Frank McAvennie has given the club some sound advice,<\/p>\n “There are a lot of very average players at the club just now and someone has to put their hand up and take responsibility for that, The signings need to be players that excite the supporters,”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n He’s right, but I include the comment simply because it shows that the media are now lowering the requirements for quality input. Of course the club needs “exciting ” signings, but a trip to the real world wouldn’t do McAvennie any harm now and again. These type of players do not want to come to Glasgow, and thats the reality of it.<\/p>\n And Graeme Souness thinks that Neil Lennon would be a better manager after his Bolton experience. Lennon, of course , quit Bolton when he found out that not all managers continue to get large tax free lump sums from previous employers.<\/p>\n All of course to avoid talking about Resolution 12 and the corruption at the top of the Scottish game, and the collusion directly below them.<\/p>\n Dortmund fans have the right idea.<\/p>\n Those in the SFA need to be removed. Either that or..<\/p>\n Nobody won the caption competition yesterday, after the replies descended into a bit of a rabble, so I put on the first episode of house of Cards instead while I had my tea.<\/p>\n Stop fighting amongst yourselves, there’s bigger battles to fight.<\/p>\n So, here’s todays…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the Resolution 12 isue being roundly ignored by the media, they have been desperately searching for anyone to talk about anything.
