Originally published at: Exclusive: Chelsea legend Pat Nevin on Lampard and Benitez amid Celtic links - 67 Hail Hail
Celtic academy graduate Pat Nevin is inextricably linked to Chelsea Football Club. During a five-year spell at the club, Scottish international Nevin made 193 appearances. A tricky winger with bags of pace, he was a favourite with the Stamford Bridge faithful, and remains so. In fact, he writes a weekly column for the club’s official…

Do you agree with Pat Nevin? Is Frank Lampard a quality manager?
Can also confirm: Pat Nevin is a very nice human being.
I think that Lampard had a lot of great players at his disposal and won that way not through his tactics. Sounds a lot like Celtic.

Have to say I’m not really a fan of auld pat since he ‘stopped’ supporting Celtic for some reason, but his comments were interesting yeah
I think some of the songs were a bit much for him. He took his kids to a game and felt weird about it, I think. I guess fatherhood can do that. He’s also said he doesn’t like how corporate Celtic have become. In a way it’s understandable, although I’d want my kids to experience Celtic matches.
To his defence though, he spoke in glowing terms about the club in our chat. I think he used the phrase “fanatical about Celtic” 4 or 5 times. So the respect is there.

That’s fair, and some of his comments were insightful

Dont think Frank had the time to become …any type of manager , never was allowed to pick his own choices of players, the two young Germans were not his preference ,but it is these two who are performing the least… bit unfair on Frank. He never wrote the Cheques
Tactically naïve at times… but that is a strong league. With lots of good tactical managers who will never see success other than staying up
Hence Big Stevie Gee going to Govan … to learn his trade… not straight into the premiership
as players Frank Stevie are very similar , however Stevie showed greater awarness of the expectations of a new manager.
Lots of names will be tossed into the Celtic arena, and as fans we should be very clear ,WE are not an attractive prospect for any big name RAFA , Vila Boas , Frank., .Martinez
As a team , we should look forward build for 3 seasons , get a young manager , with vision , and support him on the terraces ,and in the boardroom .
WE NEED VISION & DIRECTION
