Is anyone else worried that all the uncertainty over the manager's job could hinder the team tomorrow, as it must be a major distraction, trying to prepare for a cup final.

24 May 2019 21:34:05
I doubt whether the players are as distracted about it to the same degree as some fans, many of whom are wetting their panties and behaving like children. Some of them need to grow the feck up and calm down. HH.

24 May 2019 21:44:09
I'm more worried that we'll just not play well and lose a big game domestically. The club have stated Lenny is here till season ends only then will a decision be made. It's fans and media who are not concentrating on Saturday as too many are more concerned with wanting to say I guessed the manager or I know someone who knows someone who.
Roll on 3pm sat and hail hail.

24 May 2019 19:53:07
Absolutely buzzing for tomorrow, can't wait to see the tifo the game and hopefully the celebrations and open top bus parade, COYBIG HH.

24 May 2019 16:22:38
Do they ever play any of the many great covers of 'Just Can't Get Enough' at CP? I heard one the other nite and its was superb. Maybe The Saturdays?

24 May 2019 17:45:28
The video for it isn't too shabby either 👍😝.

24 May 2019 20:32:29
Thanks steph . youve just made my friday 😂😂😂
Cant believe i've never seen that before
Hail hail.

24 May 2019 21:20:48
Haha 😁👊💦.

24 May 2019 21:34:47
They should play the loudest roar by Frankie miller. there's a Celtic man.

25 May 2019 11:01:33
That's what I'm talkin 'bout, Cha!

24 May 2019 15:19:26
For now i couldn't give a monkies about new managers or players. all my focus is on tomorrow afternoon. mon the hoops!

24 May 2019 15:39:24
I'm interested in the long term and not the short term. Cup final will take care of itself and I look forward to it tomorrow but untill tomorrow's build up before the game I am more than happy to discuss manager situation with others.

24 May 2019 15:48:45
Never noticed Phil 🤣.

24 May 2019 20:07:33
Do you think Lennon will get the job Philtim? 🤣.

24 May 2019 20:36:56
Hopefully bravetart lol.

24 May 2019 14:12:16
what a lot of tosh the report coming in from a German news paper claiming Celtic have been in talks with a German manager because the guy refuses to talk about it. Pish these guys should be sacked for pish they write haha.

24 May 2019 16:11:41
Seems just as credible as any of the other links to be fair.

If there were to be any truth in it, I would guess this guy would be a coach and would work with a DoF.

Everyone’s expecting the announcement on Monday after the final, wouldn’t surprise me if the board genuinely still don’t know who the manager will be.

24 May 2019 13:23:31
Hi everyone, new to this page!

Would just like to see if you guys have any knowledge of any possible transfer targets for next season, I know this ultimately depends on who is the manager etc but one player who has really stood out this season is robert skov of Copenhagen.
26 goals and 6 assists from right wing, uncapped for Denmark and reports suggests he would be available for a fee around 6m.
I know it's all heresay but surely one we could look at considering the form of sinclair this season and we could do with a quality playmaker to help Forrest out.

What you guys think?

24 May 2019 14:30:21
All new participants are especially welcome and I hope you have a long and happy time sharing your thoughts with us . We have a cup final to win tomorrow, i think we have enough time to speculate on every Tom, Dick and Harry after that . Let us get our treble treble won first.

24 May 2019 14:34:57
Sinclair plays on the left mate so how would his form affect a right wingers chances of signing. Besides that he's consistently one of our most effective players even when he's having an off day he can still produce.

24 May 2019 14:50:00
31 goals in 47 games for a right winger is unreal.

I reckon he'll go for more than £6m but he's definitely a player I would have if we could make it happen.

Forrest, Skov, Shved, Sinclair, Johnston, Arzani would excite me.

24 May 2019 15:14:49
Mentioned him myself GreenClover but as the squad stands right now there isn't room.

24 May 2019 15:41:44
Old Man Chris are you an editor for forum? You seem to think you can dictate what people post. Again if you don't like something don't read it.

24 May 2019 17:31:22
I think OMC has every right to point out that we should be talking about the final and the unique piece of history we could be about to create, not speculating about new signings, new manager etc. Traynor and his minions would like to create as many distractions as possible and I agree with OMC that we should ignore all the background noise and focus on the immediate task. That’s what a professional organisation does and it increases the chances of success. I don’t think he’s dictating to anyone, merely offering wise advice.

24 May 2019 17:50:24
Chris what's your thoughts for tomorrow then?

24 May 2019 17:55:54
Well said philtim88.

Old man Chris telling people not to speculate or talk about transfers/ new manager at 2.30pm but commented about O'Donnell being linked half an hour earlier.

It's a rumours site. People should be free to talk about what they want Celtic related.

24 May 2019 18:56:21
COYBIG no he has no right telling people what to post. Every individual is entitled to post what they wish as long as it's above board.

It's not wise advice as you say, there is a lot going on at club at the moment and we have every right to be concerned.

24 May 2019 19:21:47
Didnt realise there were rules as to what people could think and post about. learn something new everyday.

24 May 2019 19:29:13
This is a rumours and banter site.
This poster has every right to speak about anything to do with Celtic.

Greenclover wire in and speculate and throw some names about.

Who do you fancy for the managers post bud?

24 May 2019 21:08:18
Almost new poster (posted once last year in an exuberant Rogic v Sinclair debate) .
Love the bickering about what should be posted and what should not.
Re new manager, would love it if it was Lampard 😂. Lampard v Gerrard, the eyes of the world would be on us I think.
In reality however, it will no doubt be Lenny, and going by his interview today, looks as if he would love to put his own stamp on the team and revitalise it.
Wishing Lenny and the Bhoys good luck tomorrow.

24 May 2019 21:24:54
Philtim88 I am at a loss to know whether you are stalking me, or are you trying to control my input to this wonderful diverse forum . You may have a problem with my posting and I may suggest you ignore me, if u cannot tolerate my views.

24 May 2019 11:22:57
Folks, can we put all the managerial talk to one side and let's focus on the CF for now.
l am in my 50's and could never have dreamed of our recent success, to see us win 8IAR and to go for an unprecedented triple treble is a once in a lifetime chance to see something very special, the stars are aligned for the 25th May again, let's remember and celebrate the lives of two of our recently passed legends and enjoy our moment in sun.
HISTORY BECKONS.
COYBIG🍀.

24 May 2019 12:43:46
Totally agree. These are heady times indeed. I too am at the wrong side of 50 and can remember quite a few dark days and lean times for our club. Success breeds success, but this current crop of players have been tremendous over the last three years. Let's enjoy our current dominance, long may it continue. For those going to the game tomorrow, be safe. HH.

24 May 2019 13:14:51
Don't read the managers posts then and everyone is happy.

24 May 2019 13:36:12
Looking forward to another treble tomorrow and then I have a feeling Moyes will be announced next week. He is a shrewd tactician and will have plenty of contacts to help deliver 9 and 10 in a row.

24 May 2019 13:37:00
Hard to miss Phil it's nearly every bloody thread let's wait and see!

24 May 2019 15:34:12
Mallythetally your right it is, but it's a massive topic for discussion as well as cup final. It's crucial we get right appointment to secure 10iar.

24 May 2019
New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, This is a cracker...and so true..

24 May 2019 01:01:58
Who is everyone's ideal choice of manager from names we have been linked with?

24 May 2019 05:46:23
Rafa would be brilliant but unrealistic Moyes name is not going away Lennon's Job to loose u would’ve thought with him doing the Job. But knowing Celtic there could be another DR Jo out there. Listening to pundits and others I am very surprised Lennon not been named by now leads me to believe that Celtic do have there man but out of respect for Lennon are not going announce it to let him finish the job without any extra pressure put on him and the players who have already had one manager leave. But for me it might be a combination between Lennon and Moyes?

24 May 2019 06:07:16
philtim88 who would u have bookies have Rafa Moyes as the two front runners with Lennon there about.

24 May 2019 07:14:27
Obviously I would love a rafa or jose but I just can't see it.
Someone I have mentioned a few time is Phillip cocu who ticks a lot of boxes for me but I've heard more than once that it's moyes DOF and Lennon head coach.

24 May 2019 08:25:36
I'm surprised Wenger hasn't attracted speculation at this point. I think he would enjoy working at Celtic and get the best out of the team. Ranieri too. I'm pretty ignorant about most of the names being touted to be honest but find myself hoping that Rafa is the one.

24 May 2019 08:44:04
Rich heres the thing with bookies. They want your money. The fluctuation in odds on say, Rafa, gets people excited and gets them betting. So the bookies have an idea Rafa is the next Celtic manager and at the same time want to give away their money on it? Doubt it. Case in point - seriously do this - go and have a look at what the bookies are offering for Rafa as the next Newcastle manager.

24 May 2019 09:24:35
Lots of people on here saying they would love it to be Rafa, his stats for last season are, wins 40% drawn 20% lost 40%, not great.

24 May 2019 10:55:18
Lenny 👍👍.

24 May 2019 12:03:02
Lenny for me 🤭.

24 May 2019 13:13:17
LMAO Rich T yes would have Lennon lol.

24 May 2019 21:56:30
I know it's probably unlikely that it will be Rafa but just a thought.
Ashley could give him say £250 million plus to spend (which he won't) and Newcastle would still struggle to make a European place.
If (and a big if, ) he took Celtic job, he would be back in the Champions League, he is never doing that with Newcastle.
How much would he need money wise from Lawwell to win SPL (£15million? )
If it wasn't for the fact we need some better quality players after the last two botched Windows, he would probably get by on about £8 million.
Very surprised that he could stay in Geordie land, as he is a quality manager and surely would want Champions League action again.
Any other opinions?

25 May 2019 12:18:32
Cavalcanti i think Wenger would be a great choice for DOF if that is the route we are going down. Always thought Arsenal were using a similar model to ourselves albeit on a bigger scale but for a good few years now they have been buying relatively unknows with the view to making them stars. I say unknows but what i mean is they were taking in youngsters deemed as projects rather than going out and buying the tried and tested like your Chelsea Man Utd etc. I think his experience of this model would be ideal for Celtic and i don't think he would be keen to come back in to Management but he would also be a great man for our Manager to get advice from if and when needed. If we are defintely going for a DOF and Coach we will need to use every penny of the Leicester cash to entice 2 people highly regarded.

23 May 2019 23:36:30
Stevie, id like to point out that Rodgers won nothing before he came to Celtic, fair enough he ran close to winning the premier league, but he didn’t. Moyes is NOT my first choice either, but if the board chose him to be the man to lead this great club then i’ll sure as he’ll be 100% behind him. Davie Moyes had a good record at Everton, he done not too bad with West Ham either. Moyes is as good a manager as we will get!

24 May 2019 08:03:08
Moyes is a nice enough guy but middle of the road manager.
He was given enough resources at Everton and West Ham to keep that place but never really challenged.
Personally, I think he would not be a good move for us.
Can't see Rafa coming here (good manager though)
Is Lennon the man for us? He did well last time around and his CL record gave us some good nights. Maybe given a bit more funding and support by the board?
It will be interesting, for sure, to see who gets it.

24 May 2019 08:14:44
Moyes is as good a manager as we will get? Jeezo God help us. No premiership team in England will touch him, no Championship clubs want him, no club in Europe are interested after his pathetic effort at Socieded, so he decides to whore himself around Scotland to try get work. Like I said my biggest problem with him is when he had his chance before he knocked us back. Get him to f***.

24 May 2019 11:30:50
Unfortunately Moyes doesn't need the money, so he is a cheap option.
