I think it will be Eddie Howe coming in, in my mind the deal is done or there would be other stuff going on in the media. We know he met DD weeks ago and if it wasn't happening other stuff would be.
So if it to be Howe and there was the chance to get Josh King on a free, who would be up for that?

Reports say he is employed by Bournemouth and on Gardening Leave. Surely if this was the case we would have needed to approach Bournemouth for permission to speak to him. If he agreed the to take the job you'd think it would be in both clubs best interests to announce the deal (we can plan ahead and Bournemouth get him off the wage bill) . I doubt Bournemouth would be too happy that he's agreed to take another job whilst still getting paid by them.
My gut feeling is it won't be Howe. I think it could be someone left field that's maybe not been mentioned yet.

So, to put us out of our misery, who do you think will be DoF and the manager?
This saga has more twists than an episode of Eastenders.

Does anyone think we have already tied down a new manager but for whatever reason it's not been announced? I would like to think we have but my head is saying we don't have.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can't think of a single reason why we couldn't announce it unless we've made an agreement with a manager who is either still chasing a trophy or fighting relegation. Can't think who that would be.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 19:25:55
I have no idea what the delay is? At first I thought we were waiting until the title was lost (mathematically) , then I thought we were giving Kennedy a crack at a cup, now I wonder if we have a manager in waiting and we are waiting for a full moon, or an eclipse, or the second coming of Jeezy Bhoy?

Im not a fan of keane but at least he wants to be at parkhead. If howe really wanted the job he would be here. Just wish the board would let us fans know what is happening. 💚🍀.

Let's be honest, you're basing that theory on absolutely nothing. We have no idea what Howe's situation is.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 17:05:03
Kev we can all make a very educated guess. Howe is waiting for Spurs, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, if none of them work out then it’s up the road for him. Tell him to stay where he is and collect his gardening leave money. His behavior so far is not very encouraging. Roy Keane on the other hand is keeping his head down and his mouth shut, which is not normally like him, but maybe a sign of his maturity level after his internship with MoN.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 18:19:58
We can make educated guesses but we don't know the ins and outs, yet there are already a lot of Celtic fans who are criticising Howe based on total conjecture and no facts. You're saying that Keane has kept his head down "on the other hand" as if Howe hasn't. We've not heard a peep from either so maybe Keane is stringing us along and waiting on Spurs or Leicester as well. If Howe is holding off for something better then I agree, the club should move on.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 23:15:32
Malika20 if Howe is on gardening leave, then he is still under contract with terms of his contract being honoured by both manager and club.

Most likely there would of been a minimum release clause in his contract that will still be active. Would you be happy if club forked out and effectively wasted millions bringing howe in now instead of waiting a few weeks and bring in for free?

Too many people assume its Howe that's gone cold on move, but reality is we don't know anything because nothing official has came from club or Howe. Don't believe tabloids, its usual lies from them.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Apr 2021 21:16:05
For all we know the structure has all agreed in principle and they're working hard on potential new signings as we speak to get players in quickly. Don't believe in the negative media spin.

I have been looking at a number of young players whom we could consider for next season. How about this for a Squad of nothing but youth and a few elder statesmen.

Gunn / Hazard
Soton
Williams/ O'Conner Taylor/ Beneabe
Liverpool Loan Man city Free
Welsh Jamie Hamilton Oliver/ McKenna
Hamilton Either or

Anel Ahmedhodzic Dennis Hadzikadunic
Malmo Rostov

Ferguson Campbell Mcgregor
Aberdeen Motherwell

Robertson Soro / Shaw Turnbull

Forrest Moussa Dembelé Johnston
Swap for Edouard

Dembelé Delap Shorefire
Man city loan Man utd Loan
Add 2 more wingers as they are always injured and and say Joseph nas a forward you have the basis of a strong young team with energy and drive.

Too many loans for my liking would rather develope our own players than some other clubs. Also Mckenna and Hamilton are crap and Dembele would never come back.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 15:02:59
First of all Dembelé prestige has fallen dramatically this season he cannot get a game. He will not recieve a transfer to the EPL at this time however a return to Celtic could reverse that decline.
Hamilton is avery young lad who has been fantastic for Hamilton. Had he been fit for the whole season Hamilton would not now be going down. He is a top young Scot
McKenna too is better than any we have got, I am sure he could have been a lot better than Duffy I am finding too many supporters have a down on anyone Scottish.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 16:09:00
For me we should only have loan players IF we have a right to buy him if we wish.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 16:19:19
McKenna is a carthorse in the mold of Duffy. He's not the type of CB we should be looking at. Dembele is now out of out price range regardless of how he's performing.

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 16:54:42
Dembele will comfortably get a move to the premier league if he wants one. And i would expect us to be targeting better players than Hamilton and Mckenna. Hamilton may be young with potential but we should have players in our youth teams better than him. Every time i've seen him he's had a shocker and Mckenna is just dugmeat. Will never understand what some people see in him.

The papers go on about them being ahead of Celtic. Yip ok they've won the league at a canter obviously.

But it wasn't so long ago these same papers were writing about Celtic being miles in front of them.

Celtic for whatever reason simply haven't been up to it this season. We may never know why.

After the 1st 10 games they've went through the league campaign with no pressure from anyone. May well have been a different story if we had our house in order.

Anyway my point is I don't think they're that great or far in front of us. Yes we need some players without doubt. I'd like to see all these loan players stopping, or at least not so many.

But with a decent manger, as shown with Rodgers we can get back on track very quickly.

Yes it's disheartening to see them 20 odd points in front of us. But that was us at one point.

Things can change very quickly in football.

Hopefully the new manager comes in quickly and Celtic can move forward once more and taken our tittle and cups back.

They are not that great. We never turned up this year we where woefull. What we achieved it the past ten years has been amazing and it's one of the hardest things to is keep winning trophies. They are a one hit wonder they also now know it's not easy to keep winning our achievement have been unreal.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 13:30:46
We do know why. We have been allowed to regress for years going cheap. We appointed a guy who should never been manager. Our recruitment team are the worst in football. This has been coming for years now. I can't believe anybody is actually surprised. My only fear is Lawell doesn't receive another unearned £3m bonus. That woukd be the final straw for me.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 16:16:18
Lawell made one of the biggest cockups in football in a shower room pardon the allergy 2 years ago and what ever reason even when he saw it wasn't going to work out he never did anything about it that IMO is the reason we got hammered this year the Green brigade made a tefo warning Celtic ( don't sleep at the wheel) but still Lawell did nothing I am sure next season will be a lot different.

26 Apr 2021 16:21:44
They've went unfeated in the league (so far) which is a remarkable achievement. They might not have won a double or treble but that's not an easy thing to do. We need a massive rebuild and realistically none of our 1st 11 would make theirs on current form.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 21:03:47
At the end of the day, Sevco have watched their club die and a tribute act take its place. They then had to play in the lower divisions for 4 years before watching their team get pumped by us for 5 years. On top of that they have had to pretend they don't like football or get ripped off us on a daily basis.

This is why they are going over the top with their bravado and celebrations. I say let them have their day as I sure normal service will resume soon and we can start ripping the piss once again.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Apr 2021 10:15:21
Season review we've been murder we've covered the reason s why, sevco point of view its got to be a poor season they were a shoe in for the easiest treble In years for them so it's a poor season for me.

Absolutely Mally; they had a clear run at both cups with no Celtic involvement and they bottled-it and floundered. Still, they did win 55 titles in a single season, so they are deliriously happy.
