Well, fare ye well Ronnie when the inevitable exit comes.<\/p>\n
It may be this week, hey they may even let you stay on until Aberdeen eventually hand us the League, \u00a0but one thing is for sure, your time as Celtic Manager is rapidly coming to a close and I imagine you may even head away from the Hotseat before the Season is over regardless of when the League is won.<\/p>\n
I for one will be sad to see that this didn’t work out. Not just cause youre ” nice guy”, who cares about that, it was the New Dream that I bought into. The idea of a faster, fitter, smarter athlete in the Hoops. A Young side brimming with confidence\u00a0and bravado and with the lungs and power to give us an unstoppable force in Scotland and a growing presence in Europe.<\/p>\n
Sadly that\u00a0Dream has came crashing down on us with reality cocking us a hoop and saying “No, this is not clever or forward thinking in its infancy, this is the Emperors new clothes and going only in one direction like a spent spider circling the drain”<\/p>\n
I know this will be looked at a “Oh here we fucking go!” style and even worse, plays into both Huns and the Hun loving Media\u00a0but its no half drunk rant, Ive sat here working and watching the game and my head is sore from the amount of shaking its done. The same has happened when I visit Celtic park and watch the headless chicken act in front of me. The Optimist in me ( once Eternal or so I thought) kept saying “Find one good thing and that’s all I need”. Did you see 1 good thing today?<\/p>\n
The Opposition were fitter, hungrier, dare I say prouder, \u00a0and while we teased their woodwork a few times, it should never have come to a question of penalties. Folk may point to the Roberts miss, which\u00a0I suggest should be answered with “Why we relying so much on a young loanee in the first place?”. I watched a game where I was told folk like Holt and Halliday were great players, give me a fucking break. When your opposition has a geriatric scoring and then\u00a0bring on players like the\u00a02 Nickys, and you cant find enough self respect to slap down such an embarrassment on the same pitch as you, well questions really do have to be asked and a price paid, with the\u00a0first payment demanding\u00a0the Managers head.<\/p>\n
Celtic are not in a better position than when Ronnie took over. Its as simple as\u00a0that. Europe is not even mentioned these days without a sigh and the League isn’t mentioned without a tension in\u00a0our shoulders.\u00a0The squad is not good enough or fit\/stable enough to perform to our deluded expectation and half of them should be exiting in the summer along with the management team.\u00a0 For all the Lennoxtown talk, we are not fitter,( I’m sure there are stats to tell me I don’t know what Im talking about of course), and we are not more comfortable on the ball, Dreams of Barca like Possession?,Schmession. Some will say that we do have a few young players doing okay but I fear now we don’t have future young Hoop winners in the making. Any decent player like Kieran\u00a0Tierney is only human and\u00a0will already be watching out for the summer rumour mill and packing a bag for the EPL soon as they come calling, and for him, they will for sure.<\/p>\n
Im gonna stop before I really do rant, in summation..<\/p>\n
Celtic have massive issues to address at the moment and the first of many will be the Management Team. Take care of that and the Opposition will be taken care off, simples. If Dermot and Co try and hire another New Soccer Science\u00a0Modern Manager\u00a0then\u00a0we can all settle in for more spider down the plughole experiences Im afraid. This Shit just got real.<\/p>\n
