      Not really a huge surprise.

        Their fans will be delighted, the majority seem to absolutely hate him.

          He is right to walk out. Their fans are total cunts. He won them the league 3 years in a row and they have still always been against him. Gave him no support at all

              "Sky and Setanta have the right to choose their games and it will be the same for everyone. So Mr Ferguson will not be complaining about fixtures and a campaign against United.

              "Or there is another option. That Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple."

                So do you think that Owen Coyle will leave to take the job if offered?

                  Can't see Celtic going for Owen Coyle at this stage. And I very much doubt Owenie would give up this chance to manage in the Prem. Owenie is not the kind of guy to walk out like that anyway

                      To be fair he inherited a virtual league winning machine and at the point where his stamp would have been on the team they lost the league. Don't rate him at all and Celtic fans are right to want rid of the guy.

                          He had little money to spend and had to cut wages and the age of the team and has a record in the CL second to noone outside the big European leagues I would suspect. For my money he did a decent job. You are right though that he got to do that at a point when Rangers were not in a good position to challenge domestically.

                            People can have a go at Strachan all they like about whether it was already set up for him or not but the fact is that he DID guide them to 3 league titles in a row and he got them punching above their weight in the champions league too. 3 leagues out of 4 is a good record. He has not had any money to invest in order to compete in the CL but he did everything asked of him domestically. He lost this season but I don't see why he couldn't regain the title next season. I think he is walking out because once again the Board are not giving him any real cash to improve the squad.

                            As for Owenie- As much as he may be tempted by the Celtic job he has come along way in the last 2 years and I can't see why he would throw away this shot at the prem. In little over a year he has gone from Scottish first division to managing in the Premiership.

                            Thats a hell of an achievement and there is no way he would walk out on Burnley where the fans worship him and he gets to go head-to-head against Benitez, Wenger and Ferguson

                            Regardless I think Celtic will go for an older more experienced manager anyway. If they go for a young manager them perhaps Paul Lambert might be an outside bet (if they are cheap)

                              Sunderland bound then, we all agree?

                              I'd like to see him back in the PL, some of his post match interviews were amusing.
