What’s the big deal about Celtic supporters’ interest in Knutson?
Kjetil Knutson remember him? The Norwegian in charge of Bodo/Glimt, still not ring a bell? Well it should as he’s a name that’s held in high esteem by a number of Celtic supporters.
Knutson is highly regarded and has his teams playing a certain style of productive football, we of course witnessed that first hand when his Bodo/Glimt side knocked us out of the conference league knock outs two years ago.
Knutson’s name was on a few folks lips when we were looking to replace Ange Postecoglou, before we turned to Brendan Rodgers. We weren’t the only club that’s been linked with a move for the Norwegian, as plenty of sides including our Glasgow rivals were credited with an interest in him not so long ago.
Knutson though has remained loyal to the Norwegian side and doesn’t look like moving anytime soon.
That coupled with the fact we have Brendan Rodgers in place still hasn’t stopped certain supporters swooning over the 55 year old Norwegian.
This was the case just today when some supporters were left ogle eyed after his side produced a great team goal against Ajax in the conference league knock out stages.
Granted it was a good team goal, but why are they fretting over a guy who’s tactical nous we’ve only ever witnessed on a handful of occasions?
Some supporters do make you wonder sometimes. Whether it’s fretting over players that are no longer here, it’s drooling over managers that have no connection with us whatsoever.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Never mind this guy Knutson, Celtic could bring Pep ( from Man City), and it would still turn into a shit show. If a manager isn’t prepared to work within Celtic transfer business model, which has enabled Liewell & Co to continue on with their money hoarding opreation, which allows them to hand each other million’s in pay rises ( for heated driveways) that manager is forced out. Here’s how it works at Celtic, what comes first:
1: bank balance
2: spread sheets
3: shareholders divot ends
4: maintainance
5: dog and cat food money
6. A few pints at the local kitty
7: heated driveways kitty
8: Anti-Celtic Blue nose tainted news propagandists pay off’s
9: Celtic’s first team
I am a bit annoyed at some of our supporters there are thousands of supporters who can’t get season tickets and I see loads of empty seats at Celtic Park week in week out if they only want to support the Bhoys when we play the (Huns) go to ibrox as there is plenty Celtic supporters that will happily stand in the rain and watch Celtic v Hibs and so on get behind the team please!
Because this guy manages a team from a town about size of Dumbarton, they’ve taken the scalps of teams like Roma, Ajax and us to name a few. Could you imagine a manager taking over Dumbarton, or Brechin and within a few years handing a 6 – 1 hiding to Roma. That’s what knutson has done and with a transfer budget that makes our spending look like Chelsea in comparison. Look at the team and town they come from, fan base etc and they are getting results they have no right to be getting.
Sad state of affairs when a Celtic Blog is doing the work of the SMSM.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy, you have been too lazy to research Knutson’s amazing managerial CV because if you had, you would not be writing this article wondering why Celtic supporters’ rate Knutson! You would know!
