feckin hope not, he can't even manage his minnows to a win against even minnower minnows.
Blythy, you worry too much. Smoke some pot or something.

Round of applause for Neeeel.
He's not done a great deal other than inherit a good team though in all honesty. They will be quite a different proposition now Ballack and Ze Roberto have left.

How's he going to prove that now? Finish in the top 3 in Scotland?

How about qualifying for the CL group stages?

What,even Hitzfeld? I'd prefer him to anyone else.

Aren't you underestimating his achievement? He led an unfancied team to the CL final last season. SAF's been trying to do that with a fancied team for 16 years now, and only managed it once.
Toppmöller may well prove to be a one-hit wonder. But it was a pretty big hit and it was in 2002 he did it. A bit early to belittle him.

It's a bit late for that now, unless he renews his contract with Celtic. Or they with him.

I'm hardly belittling him though am I? He's had two years at a top club. Prior to that he was managing a German second division side. To my mind that doesn't qualify him as a resounding success, CL appearance or not, and a candidate for the United job. If he proves over the next two or three years that he can win things (remember in both the last two years they have been in the running until the last week or even day of each competition they've been in - and failed on EVERY occasion) then perhaps his pedigree will be confirmed. At present this is not the case.
