Celtic fans there saying MM is too defensive and then asking for Rafa Benitez in the next sentence!

It's a bit of a misconception anyway. We've averaged 2.25 goals a game under him. Harris, with the same group of players, averaged 1.25 this season.

Besides, given the absolute state of Celtic's back four this season (especially compared to Rangers'), they could do a lot worse than someone who's "defence first".

Re: McCarthy to Celtic.

The results have been great . I applaud him.

Would I like to see a bit more football ?

Yeah, yes I would . So you can keep " direct" . I want to see football.
Should Mick take us to the premier league "direct" will get us no where , actually yes it would , back to the championship again.
Shoot me for having ambition above bouncing up and down to the premier league.

Why the hell people need this passing football is beyond me. It's bullshit. I'd rather win games

Re: McCarthy to Celtic.

Well, I for one hope Cardiff keep McCarthy on after the season ends.
But then, we all said the same thing about Harris, didn't we?

I certainly didn’t.

Re: McCarthy to Celtic.

What has he done that makes you say that Bob ?

Are we finally playing the type of football you have been asking for , for years?

I wasn’t thinking in terms of City, just that, for me, McCarthy’s record in management is better than Lennon’s.

C’mon now Jim, the football recently has improved no end. Full backs getting into the opposition’s area, scoring late winners, winning pelanties, it’s definitely a step in the perceived modern way direction. Pressing and forcing mistakes such as Mark Harris last Saturday. Harry Wilson’s wonderful finish last week, there’s been some lovely goals scored during this run, skilful, well worked, great to watch. Murphy, Ojo displaying some great touches. Top class defending in the new(ish) system and the goalkeeper cannot be praised enough. What’s not to like?

We do look good up front .

Its not football that would survive in the premier league.

For Cardiff to go forward properly they need to evolve .

Re: McCarthy to Celtic.

I fear they are destined to be disappointed with the caliber of manager they're expecting to go there.
They say that Rodgers went there after almost winning the premier league - and there was probably a time in the not too distant past that they could compete with clubs at the top level of the English pyramid.
In reality Rodgers was sacked with Liverpool in 10th, having finished 6th the previous season and performed poorly in Europe. He was out of work for half a year and certainly not linked with any big jobs in the premier league at that time. His reputation was very much improved by the time he finished his exploits at Celtic.

I've also seen some Celtic fans thinking they are going to poach the manager of Red Bull Saltzburg - I really can't see it personally, but stranger things have happened.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility, Celtic are a massive club. Its a chance to pick up some silverware, enhance your reputation and get paid well

[City123]

Re: McCarthy to Celtic.

I think it’s fair to say that Celtic have huge delusions of grandeur.
Reasonably big club playing in a pub league.
An embarrassment in Europe every year losing out to other “mickey mouse” clubs from third world countries
The money, opportunities to win local silverware and play in Europe will ensure they get a decent manager, but any achievements on his CV will be tempered by the lack of any opposition in the league.

Reasonably big is underselling them a bit, Wolves are a reasonably big club, Celtic are easily one of the biggest clubs in Britain
