Neil lemmom in till the seasons end end,but who do we fancy to be the next holder of the poisoned chalice?
Think il have a few quid on Avram Grant(no compo to pay) and mark mcghee(he will be touting himself as we speak).
Goodbye tony….you were the best manager celtc ever had
Its a sad day
Knowing the finances in Scotland i wouldnt think Neil Lennon himself is a waste of a time from a betting point of view.
If he does well till end of the season they will very likely give him it.
1) Steve McClaren
2) Sven Eriksonn
3) Kevin Keegan
4) Mark Wright
5)That guy that’s currently in charge at Manchester City
latest odds…
Mickey Mouse 6/4
Donald Duck 5/2
Goofy 7/2
Lennon 9/2some other fourth choice manager (name your odds)
Real latest odds…
Neil Lennon 11/8
Paul Lambert 5/1
Mark Hughes 6/1
Willie McStay 8/1
John Hughes 9/1
Slaven Bilic 10/1
Roy Aitken 16/1
John Collins 16/1
Roy Keane 16/1seriously what a crap list of candidates
Stuart Baxter, superb record, plenty of European experience I’m amazed he’s not been offered a big job in Scotland or England
Mo Johnstone?
Graeme Souness…why not?
Steve Patterson
He sure knows how to beat CelticYes very funny. Stewart Baxter’s name is the media in- joke up here. His name used to crop up all the time when the Celtic manager’s job became available. He still won’t get as much as an interview.
It is easier to say who won’t get the job.
The best and most obvious candidtes won’t touch the job -simply because they are plying their trade in a bigger and richer league where money is king : e.g. Moyes, Coyle and McCarthy.
Neil Lennon ( who was banned from travelling in the team bus and sitting in the dug-out by Mowbray ) has been given the job on a temporary basis. His assistant will be ex Celtic defender; Swede, Johan Mjallby. It is unlikely that Lennon would be offered the job full-time -but not wholly out of the question. He is popular among fans and players.
Ex Celt, Paul Lambert, is doing very well at Norwich City and is the bookie’s favourite – and would be my realistic choice. A good tactician, who won a European Cup winner’s medal with Borrussia Dortmund, he has a good grasp of tactics and sets his team out in the right manner. But, he has already indicated that he does not want the job given the intensity and pressures that go with it – saying he prefers the quiet life in Norfolk. Who can blame him.
Mark Hughes is a feasible candidate and could well be in the running; as no doubt will Roy Keane. who would quit Ipswich tomorrow to take up the post.
However, the board may wish to go down the foreign route again. In that case, the likes of Slaven Bilic could re-emerge as a serious contender.
As for the the Chuckle brothers Pompete (
), we have just got rid of three of them.

He’d do a good job I’m sure, he has done everywhere he’s been, I don’t get it???
He was offered the Aberdeen job a couple of years but turned it down as he didn’t think Stuart Milne’s ambition for the club matched hisWhat price is Jimmy Johnstone?
Jinky makes it into my "Best Scotland Team" currently being run on STV on Thursday nights, it was great to see clips from the 1967 Real Madrid match last night…
My team so far
Law & Jordan (hard to leave Gilzean and Dalglish out though)
Baxter, Souness, Jimmy Johnston and fourth midfielder from Cooper/Robertson/GemmillDoes anyone know where I can get a price on Steve Staunton on being the next Celtic manager?
100/1 Steve Staunton … and those odds are probably too skinny.
Celtic have already got rid of one disaster; they (hopefully) will not make the same mistake twice running.

Interesting. Yes I too am selecting a team. Differs slightly from yours – but I’m keeping it under wraps for now.

It’s hard…I’m only 100% set in stone as regards Law and Baxter I was privelidged to be behind the goal at Wembley in 1963 when Baxter put two past England after Eric Caldow broke his leg. Golden moments!!!!
I had expected Willie Henderson to feature in the short list
