Ronnie the failure

[Jacko_G]

Ronnie, your an absolute clown, fraudster, incompetent manager who is so far out of your depth its embarrassing.


Do the decent thing and stand down. The vultures are circling now!

 

[Slab]

Ronnie who, is this someone at your office/work?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Got to be referring to Ronnie Moore, manager of "them who hang monkeys"

He was kicked out of Tranmere last year for breaking betting regulations.
and Hartlepool havn't had a sparkling start to the season.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Jeff Stelling for monkey hanger manager.

Its the problem with Scottish football Jacko, sitting on top of the SPFL (or whatever they call it today) and reigning champions of a league that they should never lose. So he can sit and say, well it was a bad night, unlicky to lose amd all the hyperbole that managers spout but then use the "but staying at the top of the league as thats where we are" back up to justify his position. I totally agree though that losing twice to Molde is not good enough (and the did my 9 fold, not that I'm holding a grudge )

 

[Jacko_G]

Greiginfife, you and I could manage a team to victory in the SPL if we had a budget 20 times that of your nearest rivals.

He is out of his depth, absolutely clueless.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Ahhh, Celtic. Leave Ronnie Moore alone.

Every decent player Celtic have signed in the past 5 years has been sold on very quickly for a profit to balance the books. The natural outcome of such a policy is you end up with a squad full of dross. You then hire a cheap option talent free manager to run the team so and you end up where you are today - plenty good enough to win the 1 horse SPFL race (Kevin Bridges description of Show Jumping is my favourite) but complete dross when they play even a semi-decent side in Europe.

It's only gonna get worse.

ah, ok got it now... might have been a more interesting thread if it was someone from your work

Wonder who will be the first to mention Liverpool in this thread


oops...that'll be me then

Why would I discuss someone from my work on a forum?

Celtic, or rather their fans, are one of those clubs living on past glories and need to realise that they are not a major force in Europe any more but are just one of the also-rans.

Totally agree but as a club Celtic are still a million times bigger tha Molde and have more global appeal than the likes of Spurs and Palace, Everton etc.

And it's that sort of bluff as to why Celtic lose against teams like Molde. From a playing standard point of view one could argue that they are similar. The Scottish league is mediocre at best. Celtic have to realise that having a global appeal doesn't make a blind bit of difference when it comes to what happens on the pitch and the players playing for the club.

Well that joke that didn't work I guess, sorry
(although I suppose you could fit that description to Ronny too )

Ronnie Klopp he's only just gone there why sack him. Give the locals a chance to nick his wheel trims before he's fired.

For his salary I would give it a good go

Pants.

Sky Sports has created the divide which has stopped Celtic competing at a higher level. If Celtic had access to the same level of funding that English Championship and even more so Premiership clubs they would be financially miles and miles better off than Everton, Southampton, etc etc. Never underestimate a club like Celtic and its global appeal.

Typical blinkered view from people on the outside throwing stones at the Scottish game.

Up here we know the financial limitations and lack of investment is hampering our game. We know the product is average and the league in itself probably needs restructured. We accept that as soon as a "gem" is discovered poop teams like Bristol City and the likes can offer more money.

Celtic qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League is a huge success for Scottish Football.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Sky haven't created the divide. It is a demand situation and the demand for the SPL is not large enough to generate the money that other leagues do. There is no sinister plot at hand. If enough people wanted to watch Celtic and the SPL then various tv companies would bid for it and the income would rise.

Is the talk of a Nordic league dead? If you combined Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Scotland, all similar levels, then you would create a good league and all would benefit. Perhaps more tv income then.

Supply and demand go along with the general population of the nation. Nobody said there was an agenda or plot. The fact is until the big money got pumped into European football and Sky backed the EPL to the hilt Scottish clubs could hold their own to a certain degree. No bitterness, no misty eyes, just the way it goes.
