Following on from Lubo98 from The Celtic Star questioning Bundesliga Broadcaster Derek Rae about the possibility of the RB Leipzig coach Jesse Marsch taking the Celtic Job – Bundesliga commentator says Celtic-linked Jesse Marsch destined for Germany see HERE – Rae has posted a mini thread shining more light onto the American coaches’ position an what he’ll be looking for at a club before he’s likely to commit to taking on the manager’s job. And what it does if nothing else is illustrate just how far Celtic have fallen behind since Brendan Rodgers left the club after failing to be able to run Celtic’s football operation in the way he wanted in a conflict with outgoing CEO Peter Lawwell.
Lawwell thereafter put his own particular stamp on the football operation at the club, hand-picking the management staff and letting them get on with it all with him controlling and overseeing the operation – which has led us to where we are now.

The one thing about this Ten-in-a-Row thing being over and done with is that Celtic now has the opportunity to put the correct structure in place – the old dogs new trick theory meant that this was unlikely to happen with Lawwell still in the CEO’s office – and a great start would be to push the boat out and see what it would take to get Marsch to take the job.
Here is Derek Rae’s mini thread on Jesse Marsch after the American RB Leipzig coach was this morning’s linked to the Celtic Job…
“I’ve been saying for a while when asked by Celtic fans about what is needed to attract a coach like Jesse, you first need a fully functioning sporting division. First things first. When he asks “what would the project look like?” that is what he means.
“Suggestion to a Celtic is create a German style sporting division. The coach is after that. If you’re in Marsch’s shoes, you could soon have the choice between working with Max Eberl’s superb sporting division in Gladbach or the Leipzig system he has been de facto a part of.

“As Klopp said, if the set up is wrong, you have no chance. Marsch knows he’s being eyed by many and so far has worked in a set up with a concept and a guarantee of top quality young players to work with. Gladbach would offer him something similar. But Leipzig may come calling.
“If Flick goes to the DFB, Nagelsmann to Bayern, that opens up Leipzig potentially for Marsch who has already worked there and now at sister club Salzburg, with the same concept. He will be flattered.
