Hot since 86 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder if he will be any less detestable managing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Interesting to see how he'll get on there. I've got a sneaky feeling that he'll do ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright1989 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Just reported. Be interesting to see how he does, Celtic's manager position was more like Head Coach e.g not having an influence in signing policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good luck to him. Actually rate him as a manager, despite a few obvious brain farts. Also hopeful he can escape a lot of the off the park nonsense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Meldrew Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I always disliked him when he was a Celtic player and manger but having seen him on the TV dirung the World Cup, I thought he sounded very sensible and knowledgeable about the game.

Ron Burgundy Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 It'll be a truer test of his managerial capabilities than the Celtic job. I think he'll most likely be fairly shit. He won't be able to intimidate anyone down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortarkod Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Bolton are in trouble. Doubt he'll do anything special down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good luck to him, tough job he is taking on. He is definitely a very capable manager. To take that Celtic team as far as he did in Europe was amazing. He masterminded wins against Europes elite in the process. I used to hate the guy and when he first became Celtic manager I gave him no chance but he settled into the role and clearly has a willingness to learn from mistakes. The difference between the job he did and that of McCoist is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think he'll do a decent job. Despite what some people say, I think he showed signs of being a good manager during his time at Celtic. The players respected him and some of the signings made during his time at the club were excellent. He is knowledgeable about the game as shown during the World Cup and he appears to have good tactical awareness. His Celtic team played some very good football at times too. Yes, he had the odd moment (semi final, altercation with McCoist etc) but he definitely calmed down towards the end of his tenure. The Barcelona game was the obvious highlight during his time there.

tartofmidlothian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I always disliked him when he was a Celtic player and manger but having seen him on the TV dirung the World Cup, I thought he sounded very sensible and knowledgeable about the game. I think he'll do well and wouldn't be too disappointed if he does. In fact, the only time I found myself really not liking him as their manager was when he had his hissy fit at the final whistle of the Beattie semi. After the incident at Tynecastle his interviews were excellent IIRC, it was all "these things happen everywhere" when the press wanted him to rip into us. Did my nut in as a player, mind you.

It's a tough gig for him though with the debt that Bolton have at the minute, but it'll stand him in good stead if he does well in terms of bigger jobs in the future.

Locky Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Didn't even realise Dougie Freedman had been sacked. I'd whack a load on Bolton to go down.

Finlay James Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Never liked Lennon as a player or as a coach. He took great pleasure in winding up Hearts fans after they beat us 3-2 on New Years day 2006 and I never respected him after that. Let's face it, he learned his lesson the hard way a few years later. However, he seems to have calmed it so good luck to him because he'll need it.
