      Kennedy should be our next manager, he deserves a shot, he’s been a rock for us for years, he understands the club so well

      I was watching Ange's first interview at Tottenham and noticed how many subscribers they have compared to Celtics.They have 2.8 million we have 250k.And we say we're a bigger club🤔

    6. FrankBhoy on

      Very composed and assured from Big JK. You can feel the connection and faith he has with Brendan. Another treble n significant progression n one of the Euro cups will exceed our expectations. 🍀

      So happy that John stayed. He's a great coach & a true Celtic man. He is also articulate & highly professional. When the times right he will be our manager & i will be so happy for him. Also that training top is a belter 👌 🍀💚

      Great interview- @celticfc are there any plans to improve match day programs on Celtic tv. Proper before, half time and after match analysis for all games would be a step in the right professional direction

      The people saying he should be the next manager.
      No chance.
      He’s a great guy, technical, a good orator but he is the David Ayer to Vin Diesel.
      A professional assistant but not a main character.

      Such an underrated guy John Kennedy. Exceptional coach and very smart footballing mind. Delighted he has stayed on at our club. Still some that just don’t get how big a deal this guy is for Celtic.

      Great interview, onwards and upwards, another exciting season ahead and the Celtic club is in good hands , these are the glory days , enjoy them ❤️🍀❤️

      Imo i dont see why he cant take over from Brendan whenever that may be, he got plenty of experience now. Plus whe he took the team after Lennon, that was a hospital pass.

      Getting the old band back together with Rodgers, just waiting on lustig rocking up wearing a cop hat , another title on the way 🍀

    35. Kero on

      If brendan makes it to his 3 years and we move on to the next manager id actually be up for john taking over for even a year or two, i dont see him staying as a coach for much longer after the praise manager after manager states about him.
      Even if it didnt go well weve had punts on deliah and lennon (even ange) before in recent times so think he deserves it, obvs if he wants the step up.

      Great interview, John on record and in interviews seems to be a great coach and I think if it was Brendan he may have pushed to go with Ange. Interesting interview question to compare Ange vs Brendan manager styles, implying the former was not available to players but John wasn't taking it and recognised that both managers had success with their individual styles. Looking forward to this season and what he and Brendan can do with this team, especially in Champions league, don't think Rangers will assemble a team good enough to challenge the league title.

      Rodgeball part 2… looking forward to o riley and berniebhoy under brendan i think he will make both players the very best they can be at least brendan talks to his team 😉

    40. FrancoBegbie on

      I bet we play with more freedom under rodgers without the fear factor under ange of getting dropped .look at our games v rangers we couldn't string 2 passes together but still won .players froze with ange eyeballing there every movement..not a good man manager good bullshitter that lasts for so long ..brendan is definitely a upgrade very intelligent guy

    41. peter orr on

      Keeping all of the coaching staff is comforting to know for the current squad of players. Who are being integrated to Brendan Rodgers methods of management. This should help in aiding both manager and playing staff with the new managers processes both on and off the field of play. Hail, hail bhoys & Ghirls. Ps, have a word with Abada & Agent in regard to getting the young Bhoy tied up for the next few seasons ahead. As there isn't many 21 year old lads out there with the kind of stats and quality that Abada possesses ……Please get this one done!

    44. Paul Irvine on

      Talk about flying under the radar, make no mistake…John Kennedy is one of the main cogs in the Celtic coaching engine and has been for some time, so glad we managed to keep him here!
