Faithful through and through doesn't mean that you expect to win every game.
Faithful through and through means that you'll give full backing to the team even when we are losing and not playing well.
All this talk of getting rid of TM is absolute nonsense.
In fact it would be suicide at this of the season to try and bring in someone else and lets be honest who will want the job??? Mark McGhee maybe? Other candidate like Martinez are too busy getting pumped 9-1 by Spurs to consider Celtic Fc.
I've no doubt that we'll start to gel as a unit soon and the victories will come.
Hopefully we'll add a CB and striker in January and offload some of the time-wasters also.
We were 6 minutes away from a great 3 points yesterday.
Keep the Faith
After yesterdays result I can't say i'm too upset about missing out on Martinez.
Agree with most of your points, BB. It's happening now, it has been happening for a good few years now, everyone can see it happening but we we're struggling to stop it happening.
Pitchforks at the ready for the board?
Levein would do a much better job than Mowbray.
The article is spot on.
The board are to blame. MON should have been allowed to reinforce his side after Seville. He wasn’t and it was a steady downward spiral from there.
It’s became even more noticeable now because we are now reaping what we sowed.
GS was incredibly lucky.
TM is a clown, I never wanted him in the first place. I never wanted Martinez either.
I wanted Bilic or Levein.
I’d take Levein now, much better manager than Mowbray, he actually seems to give a fuck how his team plays. TM just stands on the touchline like a clown.
Get Well Soon Big Man.
Levein has proved to be a much more competent manager at DU than Mowbray was at Hibs.
Mowbray had an abundance of talent to work with at Easter Road and failed to deliver anything noteworthy on a consistent basis… John Collins won the League Cup within months of taking over from Mowbray in 2006/2007.
Mowbray’s praise among football punditry has usually been relevant to his brand of football… some might find this a compliment to aspire to. But, to be honest, I find it patronising. It’s kind of like saying “well you got horsed 4-0 but at least you had a go at it”
The man is out of his depth and has never filled me with much confidence. His demeanour on the touchline is that of a broken man, he is clueless.
Levein took over United in 2006/2007, inheriting a mess left behind by Craig Brewster who only lasted 4 months in the job.
Since then he has done wonders with limited players and a limited a budget. The fact he constantly has to rebuild his side (successfully I might) is a testament to successful his signings become. Dundee United have lost some very inspirational players in the past so many years, and yet Levein always seems to replace them some how. It’s amazing given his restricted resources.
I think he is an articulate studier of the game. I’ve listened to him many times on the radio and in post match interviews, I have always been very impressed with his reading of the game.
In addition, he transformed Barry Robson into a goal scoring midfielder at Tannadice; he also was the man responsible for changing Paul Hartley’s career at Hearts.
Both had been journeymen until they fell into Levein’s leadership.
Get Well Soon Big Man.
mowbray was more successful with their respective teams in England.
who's to say mowbray wouldn't have won the league cup with his hibs team if he had stayed but levein has won fuck all of note. TM won the championship, levein got the boot at leicester.
fair comment re the wee pat on the head and ruffle of the hair from the pundits though, it gets on my tits too.
levein isn't a bad manager, fair enough, i just wouldn't fancy him at CP. his signings have by and large been good at utd and hearts and he's maybe turned round a few players but thats without the pressure and the need for instant gratification that he's been afforded at lesser teams imo
These are desperate times. This is the worst Celtic team in living memory. Mogga has of yet failed to get Celtic playing an attractive brand of football aka The Celtic way. He is playing the same pish played under Chesney, yet at least Chesney could get results, which at the end of the day is what it is all about. Is the Celtic way about getting beat by Dundee UTd? Is it only getting 2 wins in the last 10 games? Is it about being an embarrassment in Europe, even on home ground? I think not.
The board need to get their fucking finger out before this rot becomes irreparable. Mogga was right when he pointed out that other teams have debt off the field yet no debt on the field and he is right. Obviously I'm not advocated the Murray style disaster TFOD now find themselves facing but surely 15-20 million from a billionaire like DD would not go a miss? It is business sense. Had he given Mogga that money we might even be playing CL football thus recouping at least 12 mil of that budget. You must spend to accumulate. Success comes at a price and after a while the money invested in the squad would pay for itself via European football etc. A promising aspect is our forray into the Asian market, yet unfortunately the revenue generated will no doubt feather DDs nest as opposed to bring delectable signings in the Gallowgate!
