Yes big fish in a little pond who usually eat up the little fish until they get to Europe and they then get eaten by the fish of their own size or bigger ones .... perhaps we can have fish with the chips on our shoulders?

Yep, as is the case for us, other championship teams, bottom-half Premiership teams etc

i dont see where else he was going to go....there was the Palace rumour but why would they get rid of a bloke who has kept them comfortably up on peanuts and replace with someone who got a relegation amidst a spending spree....
Roy may well go but i dont see Palace suddenly going mad in the transfer market..

The inside story (from a Crystal Palace employee of note) is that Roy will finish there this summer
This is borne out by the number of notable playing staffs 'out of contract' this summer who have been told they will have to wait to see if they will be offered new ones
Could be a clean slate for any incumbent manager and it would certainly suit Eddie Howe given his desire to remain in residence on the south coast (a tad short of a daily commute to the shady side of Glasgow)

I wouldn't call it hate, probably people just spouting off on what they think is a 2 bob Football pyramid, and you cant realy blame them?
What's your knowledge on Scottish Football then other than Rangers and Celtic are massive Clubs?
The average attendance in the SPl is about 15,000, massively boosted by the two 'massive clubs', one game last season Hamilton vs Livingston had a crowd of 1075, that's about what Dover Athletic get.
The only people who go there now is someone who is starting out like Gerrard has or someone who has an affiliation to the Club like Rogers did.
I don't really rate Eddie Howe in the echelons that some people do but if he really is 'all that' as some spout going to Celtic is a lack of ambition.
Even the most passionate Scotsman wouldn't argue that the Scottish League has been diluted to the point of patheticness now, that's not to say that the Glasgow Clubs are not still big Clubs but it's like groundhog day up there.

I understand what you're getting at with your attendance point but you've got to remember Scotland is a very small country population wise. On a per capita basis the SPL is actually the best supported league in Europe, when you remove Celtic and Rangers the SPL is 5th best supported in Europe. I would also imagine if you removed the top 2 supported teams from all the other leagues the SPL would rise a place or too.
If you look at the average attendances of SPL (Plus Dundee Utd) compared to population, outside of the Old Firm teams they're still actually pretty good:Hearts + Hibs - 35,339. Edinburgh Pop - 482k
Aberdeen - 14,925. Pop - 201k
Dundee FC + Utd - 11,103. Pop - 148k
Kilmarnock - 6,869. Pop - 46k
Motherwell - 5,448. Pop - 33k
St Mirren - 5,352. Paisley Pop - 77k
St Johnstone - 3,891. Perth Pop - 47k
Livingston - 3,664. Pop - 51k
Hamilton - 2,829. Pop - 53k
The quality of the SPL is definitely much poorer compared to other major European leagues and much much poorer from a financial sense as well. But the following it has and the support the Scots show can't be criticised in my opinion.
Also whilst the League has become undeniably boring, the cups are still very competitive. If you compare them with the English cups in the last 10 years, the numbers of different winners and finalists are actually, funnily enough, identical.
Scottish Cup - 5 different winners and 10 different finalists.
Scottish League Cup - 6 different winners and 13 different finalists.
FA Cup - 5 different winners and 10 different finalists.
League Cup - 6 different winners and 13 different finalists.

I never denied the league is poor, I said "The quality of the SPL is definitely much poorer compared to other major European leagues". Although that was about the halfway mark so maybe your attention span ran out? I know you struggle with the longer posts, I'll throw in a bunch of "......." next time if that helps?
The original commenter, G3vans, was talking about the hate Scottish football gets as a whole. I'm mentioning attendances cause I've seen them used plenty of times to slag off Scottish football, I think maybe even on this forum.
As for the cups, despite the league being a mostly one horse race until recently, it shows that there is still competitiveness in Scottish Football. Another claim that I've seen plenty of times.
I also think the stats about the cups show that the Celtic job isn't unambitious. Before Rodgers, Celtic's last treble was in 2001, before that it was in the 60's. The league may be a cake walk (until now) but the cup competitions aren't. If Howe can prove his skills as a manager then in a few years he could be rewarded with a job at a Premier League club that plays European football much like Rodgers.
Of course the other ambition is European success. Not winning the CL or EL obviously, but qualifying for the group stage of the CL or reaching the last 16 in the EL would probably be considered successful and an ambitious target to set.

You cant do anything mate, it is what it is now.
It's not shit mate, it's just at a level now which it can't recover from, it's the same for all Leagues, I doubt a Team outside of England, Spain, Germany, Italy or France will ever win any of the European Cups again
Iv been to watch Rangers a few times at Ibrox, I loved it, great weekends away.
But the fact remains any decent manager with a bit of ambition now won't go up there unless there's a connection like Rogers or first job like Gerrard. Be a step back for Howe to go to Celtic.

You cant do anything mate, it is what it is now.
It's not shit mate, it's just at a level now which it can't recover from, it's the same for all Leagues, I doubt a Team outside of England, Spain, Germany, Italy or France will ever win any of the European Cups again
Iv been to watch Rangers a few times at Ibrox, I loved it, great weekends away.
But the fact remains any decent manager with a bit of ambition now won't go up there unless there's a connection like Rogers or first job like Gerrard. Be a step back for Howe to go to Celtic.
agree about shite being the wrong word, but not so sure about the move being a backward step for him...where else could he go ?
If your last job was in the English Premier League and your next job is in the Scottish Premier League, for me mate that is a backwards step these days, even if the Club is Rangers or Celtic but that's just my personal opinion.
Where else could he go? Not sure, maybe end up at Newcastle? Southampton possibly, or if he is really as highly thought of as people say (I don't buy into it myself) maybe even the Arsenal or Spurs jobs
