I'm probably in the vast minority here but I am really not fussed if Howe turns us down. In all honesty I don't really get all the hype about him.

With his philosophy and style of football I can see how that may excite some fans but is there any good evidence of unearthing players or promoting youth? he's had his fair share of nightmare purchases in the market as well, Ibe and Solanke to the tune of nearly £40M springs to mind. Would we really look at his record of players recommended to him by Richard Hughes and be impressed?

If be much more excited if we went for Trpisovsky from Slavia Prague, Jesse Marshe from Salzburg or even Lucein Favre who is available. These guys have a proven record of operating at our level and in my opinion would be a much safer bet than Howe.

Dont get me wrong I'd be happy enough with Howe and back him of course but I don't see why some fans are so desperate for us to announce him.

15.000 fans greeted Rodgers based on what, I think howe is very similar to him, maybe wrong but I think he'd be a good fit.

im with you on that del bhoy. mally rodgers was at a massive club like liverpool and took them to a inch away from winning the title down there yeah he never win it but he had been around the best coaches and players for a long time before he came to us.

Where is the evidence that Howe is in any way the same kind of manager that Brendan is, anyway is a pointless comparison, everyone is an individual, am fed up with this Howe saga, just score him off the list and move onto the next candidate.

Hello boys and girls first time poster
Two things
1. I trust the board - they want the best for Celtic .
2. I read a an article with Daniel levy savvy chairman of Spurs and when he was in the board at the Sevconians when joe Lewis invested he said you could feel and taste the history
Well this is not secco - this is Celtic . And if Eddie doesn't get it a) he's a fool and b) he's not for us .

Final thought I read a post a few months ago about the definition of . Celtic mindedness " started going political and anti that this and ant that . Celtic are inclusive, yes we are a catholic club - I went to st mungo"S but above all else we are inclusive never exclusive. One of the very many things that makes us unique .
I don5 know who the manager will be but whoever it is I'm right behind them, ., Ed thanks fo a good job, insights and balance keep up the excellent work.

The board want what’s best for Celtic plc big difference in wanting the best for Celtic. Welcome aboard mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 23:22:09
I no longer believe the board want the best for the club. The want the best for finances and bonuses and
Shareholder payments.

Irish Phil has an interesting story about Howe on his site.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 18:23:27
The big question lies ahead who and when? This will go on and on till we when only knows season tickets are stalling because clubs don't know what they can offer which again is ok for celtic cause they don't need requesting of season tickets yet either.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Apr 2021 18:49:15
Rich it's crazy you brought this up as we are going to be talking about season ticket renewals on next podcast. Share your thoughts on the live chats.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 20:30:56
Rich, my (and I'm sure many other supporters) nightmare scenario is, Eddie Howe or pick any other name (s) falls through, Lennedy beats Sevco on Sunday and extends his unbeaten run more or less to the end of the season and wins the SC and our board offer him the job.

😥.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 21:09:53
Rich what’s your opinion on season books will most renew? Should they renew? Will the appointment make a difference? Have those with season books this season had the “added value “ promised by the club?

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 21:44:30
Most will renew because they are loyal celtic fans regardless of who is in charge the one who don't will be replaced but the news of a new manager will have a quick season ticket renewal where as some people will think twice if not sure what they are going to get in terms of if and when Celtic park will be allowed back in action.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 22:08:32
I’ll give more opinion tomorrow on podcast as say opinion but this loyal Celtic fans annoys me as the club feed off it plenty loyal Celtic fans have forked out a small fortune this season they can’t afford yet will be torn doing so again without knowing what’s going on ie do we get in what are the clubs plans can they afford it etc buying a book for most is an expensive luxury but we do it I have families on our club £2k a season because their “loyal” can the risk that expense again with no return? The club have to make that viable.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 22:17:48
Rich, if, just for talking sake, JK is announced as Manager, do you think all season tickets will be sold out? 🤔.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 23:47:37
Yeah cause what is he doing right now that is so bad in his own right he has done ok up till now as stand in manager this season all points to the whole rather anyone individual. Yes JK was part of that but look at his stats himself only out of loyalty to Lennon think fans want JK out and not so much what he's done now just my opinion but with rubbish beng printed about Howe I am not buying that Celtic or Howe are holding anyone to ransom if anything after all the press and every bit of crap being written about Howe if anything that stuff maybe enough for him to say No thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 08:00:46
Ed/ Mark, Your thoughts on the NL vid please? Should we be worried? or just drunk like the rest of us? Ta.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I'm hoping it's just the drink mate and it did look like that. We've all been there so hopefully after spewing his guts up the following morning, getting a roll & bacon and a can of Irn Bru into him he's fine.}

14 Apr 2021 10:59:37
Neil's a brew bhoy now he's allowed to get blooteret as he's no work to get up for .

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 11:30:50
I hope you are right Ed, to me he looks like he's in a dark place. I thought he was going to break down in a stranger's arms.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Was that not his agent with him, AGG? All we know is that NL went out, got blootered and made an ar$e of himself - which was unfortunately filmed and shared on social media by a scumbag - and now everyone's speculating about his mental health etc, if it was LG they would be coming out with the same kind of stuff but I don't remember anyone questioning Brown's mental health when he was sitting pi$hed eating a kebab.
Not everyone that is drunk & emotional is having a nervous/mental breakdown.}

14 Apr 2021 12:03:38
That's true Ed, it was just my opinion of what I was seeing as I've had my own problems, as I said, I hope you're right and it's just too much drink.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I wasn't having a dig at you mate and sorry if you thought that 👍 I've just seen as well that someone had verbally abused him and we all know how hair trigger your temper can be at a certain stage of drunkenness, in Fairhill we call it timebombing.}

I’ve not seen the footage and have no wish to either, We all have ups and downs in life, Neil always tried his best and has always fought his and our corner, we all have our faults and ways of dealing with them, I hope Neil knows that he is and will always be part of our Celtic family.
HH NFL and remember YNWA🍀🙏🏻🍀.

Dark place, mental problems etc. Utter nonsense. Is he not allowed to get pished? Don't anyone be hypocritical either because we wanted him out.

14 Apr 2021 17:32:48
When and where was this footage taken? I was under the impression that all the pubs are still closed or am I missing something?

14 Apr 2021 18:21:15
Was it not in Newcastle?
Also the boy with him was the Glasgow rocks owner I’m sure!

14 Apr 2021 18:36:54
Fair play to mcoist for saying the truth to the media, we all get too drunk sometimes, that's life but that's all it is too many, we've all done it, bacon roll and irn but in the morning and everything is better 🍀.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 19:23:30
@CampsieBhoy - that would make more sense as their pubs/ clubs opened up already. Was not sure if it was old footage or current.

Thanks for the info.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 08:23:52
what i think would be good is for fans who protests and showed banner upon banner and directed vile abuse at him for months. to raise some banners of support for Neil and show him he will always be Celtic legend.

Lennon at Work: We all saw the banners outside the ground when they wanted him out. A tifo would be cringeworthy now.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 19:26:08
Why would it be cringeworthy?

Remember, just because we wanted Lennon replaced does not mean it was a personal issue or that we harbour ill feelings towards him or have forgotten everything he has done for the club.

I am sure Lennon will always be loved and remembered byu the majority of Celtic fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 20:32:21
the abuse was a bit OTT law and the GB played big part in it were never away from the stadium with banners even ones telling him to get to F***.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Football fans are fickle mate, there's guys out there that want a statue for Fergus McCann after they booed him years ago.}

14 Apr 2021 21:06:44
my old man loved mccann ed after what he did for the club. always use to say to me brother Walfrid formed us Fergus McCann saved us there should be a statue of that man he deserves it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I agree mate but he is dead set against anything like that.}

14 Apr 2021 21:55:08
Lennon will always have a place in history and he should be remembered for all the good unfortunately he will be the man who blew the ten after repeatedly saying he would go if it was for the benefit of the club. Gb were right to call him out wether it was done in the right way or not is down to opinion. Had fans been at games he would’ve got a lot worse.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Apr 2021 07:07:00
if fans were at games i don't think season would have been the way it was think CV played a massive part in it.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Apr 2021 10:19:50
The banners from the GB were very personal so I think tifos should be left out and we'll move on.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Apr 2021 08:20:18
seen the video of neil lennon he looks hammered seems to be getting into a argument after 1 to many drink. seen myself like that on a odd occasions as many of us probably have. if that lot what to slate a man for that can we re run some of the Manchester videos please.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

14 Apr 2021 09:40:50
I don’t think it’s all that bad.
Lenny is trying to get his point across in an argument.
It’s not as if he’s pushing people out of the way and trying to fight.
Very Small Handbags.

As you say he has just had a few too many and we have all been in that state.

Full agree United ireland. Or maybe the video of another certain manager allegedly fighting in public after a few drink. As if any of us who drink have never had a few too many and got into an argument. Some joke.

Guys i can confirm i met our host Mark at his house. He trusted me even thou he did not know me to give me his address and i went and met this man. He is as genuine as they come and Yoda is as mad as a brush. lol. I know people are warned never to send money to strangers, but over the years Mark has given tirelessly for nothing other than to help others. A wee pound here and there can work wonders for the technology to give us a terrific service. PS i know mark is not asking anybody for money but if we can help our site to keep up to date then help out if you can. Hail Hail to Mark and all the lads.

Interesting reading about Andreas Hinkel and his experiences so far as a coach. I didn't realise he was at Lennoxtown a couple of years ago as part of doing his badges.

He's coached at every level with Stuttgart from the U12's upto Assistant Manager and is now No.2 at Spartan Moscow.

Still speaks very fondly of his time in Glasgow with Celtic, good luck to him 👍.
