Day Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Billy Davies has emerged as a shock contender for the job as Celtic manager. Davies – who was once a player for Celtic’s Glasgow rivals Rangers – led Derby to the Premier League through the play-offs and his Nottingham Forest are now chasing a place among the elite. His record has been noted at Parkhead and he could be the man to replace Tony Mowbray. Caretaker boss Neil Lennon seems to have lost his chance following the shock Scottish Cup *defeat to Ross County. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Nottingham-Forest-boss-Billy-Davies-is-a-shock-contender-for-the-Celtic-job-article395743.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Celtic are considering a move to make Billy Davies their next manager after the Nottingham Forest incumbent  and former Rangers player  made it known that he would be interested in returning to Scotland to work at Celtic Park. The move would shock many observers of Scottish football, who have always viewed Davies as “a Rangers manâ€Â, but the manager himself has expressly told a number of confidants that the Celtic job would appeal to him. Davies, whose Forest side are in third position in the Coca-Cola Championship and guaranteed a place in the play-offs, is understood to have had various disagreements with the board at the City Ground, and appears certain to leave Nottingham Forest in the summer, regardless of whether they gain promotion to the Barclays Premier League. Jim Price, a Glasgow solicitor who acts as Davies’s adviser, confirmed to The Times yesterday that the 45-year-old Scot would welcome the chance to manage Celtic. “I think the idea that Billy is an out-and-out Rangers man is a bit of a myth,†Price said. “I advise Billy on different football matters and my remit with him is simple: when there is any club out there who is interested in having Billy as their manager, we sit down and discuss it. “I certainly don’t see why Billy couldn’t be a successful manager at Celtic or Rangers or wherever.†Celtic, via at least one intermediary, have already moved to sound out Davies about the prospect of succeeding Tony Mowbray. The Glasgow club are thought to be considering a number of candidates for the role  including Neil Lennon, who is in the job in a caretaker capacity  but view Davies’s credentials as among the most impressive. The former Rangers, St Mirren, Dunfermline Athletic and Motherwell player has had success at every club he has managed, taking Preston North End to the brink of the English Premier League via the play-offs in 2005, then taking Derby County back into the top flight in his first season in charge in 2006-07. Davies was appointed Forest manager on January 1, 2009 and has since repeated his previous successes there. His recent months, though, have not been happy, with many believing that he will not be given the money he feels the club will need to survive in the Premier League should they get there. He is also understood to be aggrieved with the tight fiscal policy operated by Nigel Doughty, the Forest chairman. Davies is said to be keen on the Celtic job, and other factors have recently influenced his thinking. His wife wishes to return home to Scotland, and that and other family considerations have started to shape his thinking. If Davies was appointed as the manager of Celtic, it would be one of the most intriguing moves in Scottish football in a long time. The downside for the Celtic board is that the Forest manager is said to be a feisty, strong-willed character who is not afraid to speak his mind, and who has riled more than just one football club director in his time. “Billy is not backward in coming forward,†another source told The Times last night. “He is a very talented football manager  his record shows that  but if Celtic went for him they would have a manager who doesn’t pussyfoot around with diplomacies.†Lennon, meanwhile, having won four straight games in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, is said to be a growing contender all the time for the job, despite losing to Ross County in the Active Nation Scottish Cup semifinals ten days ago. On Sunday, Lennon aims to make that a five-game winning league sequence when Celtic face Dundee United at Tannadice ¢â‚¬â€ a feat not achieved by the club since November 2008. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/scotland/article7102330.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
