Anyone read Charlie Nicholas's swipe at Strachan in the papers ?

Question

Celtic fans, what is your take on Nicholas and his views ?

Today he is having a real go at Strachan:

"It looks like Strachan doesn't want big names, as he probably wouldn't be able to control and dictate to them."

"Then there is keeper Boruc, who seems to be on a different planet from everyone else".

"I don't believe there is a decent right-back, despite having a choice of 5 players".

At the end of last season, Nicholas praised Strachan for being so good with the players, "due to the fact that he has done it all himself, as a player".

He defended the keeper, "they are all extroverts, by nature".

And praised Andreas Hinkel, "who would prove his true class, given time".

Is Nicholas in the right, or is he trying to keep himself in a job, by making headline statements ?

Hardly what I would expect to hear, from a self-professed Celtic diehard.

Opinions ?

Answer 3

the pundits are all the same, they keep changing their spots and move their praise to suit who is winning.

God Bless James Sanderson RIP

he called a spade a spade.

Answer 4

Lost respect for Charlie Nickerless years ago-in fact lots of years ago when he was stupid enough to pick Arsenal over Liverpool in 1983.

The guy is a talking head on TV-who just happens to talk rubbish.

Rather listen to wee Gordon's opinion on football all day compared to an under achieving knobhead who has never had the bottle or the nous to manage a team on his own.

Hail Hail to wee Gordon-I'll be at his 4 in a row party!!

Answer 5

Charlie boy is more of a media man nowadays than a celtic man I think.

He praises when thing going great then jumps on them when we have a bad loss.

Just my opinion.

I think hes a secret clyde fan anyways.

Answer 6

Another player who moved to the wrong club,good striker at Celtic but thought the champagne was bublier in another city,after celtic what ? two tap ins in a F.A. cup final hardly prolific,hasnt even got the humour of MC Avennie,wouldnt cross the road if he asked for my autograph,so,his opinion of strachan whos won as much as O neill with a poorer squad is meaningless,hes another scot who grovels to the new godfather of football SKY TV,MC Avennies birds were better looking to !

Answer 7

Charlie ridiculous has fell from grace a long time ago when he refused to back the rest of the then team and the fans for the removal of the old board and instalment of F McCann because he was the highest earner then.

don't even bother to read or listen to his views.

Answer 8

i think he is hurting a bit.

Strachan is supposedly a good man-manager and i doubt big names would faze him; remember he played alongside the likes of Alex McLeish and no doubt picked up something from Alex Ferguson.

As for Nicholas, he is just stirring up debate amongst fans - remember his opinion can sell the paper to them, he is respected by the fans and he will want them to hear what they want.
