He's unbelievable, best player in the world this season on form. To think some Liverpool fans thought we'd be better without him

[Glenbino]

Confirmation just came across, AVB out.

Any thoughts on who should/will take over? It's a decent sized club with money, but also mid season. Tough to get an established name.

Though, a former Spurs manager did just come available...

Not Neil Lennon

Neil Lennon doesn't have the experience to get a job like Spurs. The problem is he needs to take a step down to a club like Norwich or Swansea in order to progress but no one wants to leave Celtic for that kind of guff.

Neil Lennon is a cunt.

Zola stepped down at Watford. He knows London and could be alright as an interim coach. Give him a half season and see what happens

AS Roma 11-5-0 after a draw today in Milan.

I think his current resume would match up pretty favorably with that of AVB when he got the Spurs job.

Spurs fans just need to cool it with their expectations.

Roma should have won, pretty much bossed the whole game

Milan looked terrible

Bradley missed a couple of chances

Balotelli did have a glorious chance to win it at the end though

I second Zola. Only because he's been pretty fucking awful as a manager thus far and I'd love to see Spurs shit the bed even more than they currently are.

You must be high.

I understand winning at Porto and the undefeated season were huge accomplishments, but Lennon has a proven track record of finding value in obscure players and having successful runs in Europe.

I don't see why he'd be compelled to stay with the Hoops over a mid-table EPL team at this point either. When Forster bounces for Man U in January, this team is going to be hard pressed to even qualify for the CL group stage in 2014.

AVB has a European Trophy in his cabinet as well.

Lennon has been extremely lucky that his biggest rivals were fucked in the ass and sent packing to the backwaters of Scotland. I'm sure he'll get his shot at a mid table club in England at some point. He's just more a man manager than a tactician, and man managers tend to only be able to take their clubs so far. Martin O'Neill anyone?

Dude coaches in a one horse league.

Which I think makes it more impressive he was able to push last year's squad to the round of 16 despite playing garbage in league. He's done a great job of getting guys to improve and Celtic have been able to keep their books in the black because of it.

I agree with what Anthony said about there Lennon leaving something to be desired from a tactical standpoint though.

It's a tournament though. Plenty of small teams fluke through and make it to the last 16. I mean we are only a year removed from Basel going through at United's expense and APOEL winning their group. No one is going to call for their managers to lead top clubs
