A large percentage of our fan base are akin to Ken Funworth

@HighPeakFox Not sure if the post bugged, but I can't see the post you quoted me in, and can't see the post you quoted from either, so not sure what it was about, but don't think i'm ignoring you.

Yes, 100%, lol.

We should move heaven and earth to get Maresca back as our manager.

He’s never going to cut it as a top premier manager but could start again with us and be guaranteed a long term secure contract but I doubt it will happen

I suspect the post may have been deleted by admin. I don’t know what you were discussing, but the user in question frequently positions himself above others in discussions, speaking in a way that comes across as rather patronising rather than constructive. But who knows, I could be wrong…

Chelsea hierarchy are doing a number on Maresca.

Just heard snippets of this on Sky, got a link to the whole thing? Sounds savage.

Better the devil you know… I’d take him back but I suspect he wouldn’t want a step backwards, and he probably wouldn’t have the same success again.

Looks like the Celtic board have broken some boundaries, maybe this will become more common.

A step backwards? From Chelsea to us? It’s not a step, it’s a huge tumble from the very top of the staircase hitting every step on the way down, and then landing in dog shit.

 

Not happening.

Briefing the press about his shortcomings.

They’ve hosted a press briefing saying he ignored medical staff and played players which resulted in more injury’s and he doesn’t have the “mental fortitude” To manage a top team .

You're an idiot if you think he'd come back here

Sacked or quit? 

 

position untenable after recent comments, I’d imagine . Probably got a decent pay off to resign ( at least publicly).  Chelsea owners on reputation damage limitation.

Not a chance he comes back here don’t get why he would he knows the clubs run terribly and got lucky getting out when he did. Wouldn’t have kept us up with our squad we have either because the squad was shite

I wish we could go back in time 2 years and eight months...to hear Top praise Rodgers' effort and integrity.

Hmm that last line is interesting as it’s something I heard at LCFC.

We could have released something very similar to Celtic.

Oh yeah, word for word. But I doubt Top sees it, even now.

One thing I don’t miss about Enzo being here is the ego his football seemed to bring out in some fans, the idea that if you didn’t enjoy it, you simply lacked the intellect to understand it, and that with a bit more intelligence you’d inevitably come around.

 

Sad to see that attitude still lingering among parts of his fanbase.

Big time. 'Patterns of play' 'philosophy' 'identity' etc. All meaningless bullshit that you never used to hear and shouldn't  have to when discussing 22 blokes kicking a ball around.

2nd highest scorers with 89 goals, and best defence just conceding 41... GD of 48 which was 13 clear of the next best. 
 

142 "big chances" created which was far more than anybody else that season.

 

His football really is boring. 
 

 

In these stats lie the truth as to why his football was so horrific though. We didn't concede so few goals cos of top quality defending, it was cos we kept possesion for 60 - 75% of the time. Equally 142 chances and 89 goals over a season sounds impressive but when you kept possession like we did thats an awful lot of the game spent pissing about passing it between your centre backs not going anywhere, the key reason why I and so many others hated his way of playing.
