Use our rumours form to send us celtic transfer rumours.

30 Jan 2021 21:43:09
Why is this rubbish show being allowed to continue? It has been glaringly obvious that things were not right since well before Xmas and something needs to change.

So now we have missed the chance to change playing staff and are continuing to keep faith in the coaching team, while they continue to under perform.

What happened to the review we were promised? When is enough going to be enough?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - What if the review - that nobody ever said was going to be made public - has happened and part of the findings of that review was replacing Lawwell which every one wanted and looks like the Stock Exchange need 6 months notice of and to replace Lennon at the end of the season?}

30 Jan 2021 21:58:07
Very true Ed. Lennon will be here until the end of season. I just hope this time ard we interview a few candidates. Will our new CEO have the final decision our will it be DD with the final decision. Is there an talk about a director of football coming Ed because our new CEO has mostly been in rugby and I think a director of football would be great to help him and the club in recruitment side.

{Ed007's Note - They'll need to put someone in charge of the footballing side, Paul. Give it a couple of months and we should start hearing about what changes are planned.}

There are plenty of people (some of my family included) that have been loyal to Neil Lennon all along. Yes we have had disagreements and debates about blame and culpability regarding this shambles.
However, when a man who is totally committed to a club, it's traditions and history; has tried everything - and failed miserably.
When players stop performing to their maximum and even show signs of insolence, disrespect or even resentment does that commitment become toxic to himself and others? In August it was disclosed that players did not want to be here. In all honesty how many want to be here now?

I think after the club coming out publicly and informing the fans there would be a review, people just assumed the same approach would be taken for the findings. It's difficult to imagine the result being anything other than a change of manager is required - probably just a matter of when.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 23:50:59
Hi Ed,

That is a valid point about the board not stating the review would be made public.

That being said, if the review has been carried out and they never came to the conclusion that something had to change on the park, then they should all be fired, in my opinion.

I am somewhat annoyed at the fact nothing has changed in that department and we have allowed a full transfer window to pass us by, while we remained sleeping at the wheel.

The fact we have the best team and squad in Scotland but are underperforming gives me great cause for concern, as nothing has been done to change that in the immediate future. Now, if we get rid of Lennon we can't change our playing personnel. If we keep Lennon, this is going to be a brutal end of the season and one I suspect will hurt us financially when it comes time to renew the season tickets as there will be a hell of a lot of angry/ disillusioned fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

How have Celtic got the best team and squad? Who's the best keeper? Compare any of them to Alan McGregor. 5million quid barkas who can't catch a ball. McGregor cost nothing. How many clean sheets do Celtic have? McLaughlin warms the bench and still has more clean sheets than any celtic keeper. Best defenders? Ajer is ok. Compare the rest to barisic or goldson. Laxalt v tavernier. Ha. Rangers defenders have more goals than entire Celtic strikers.

Celtic play Duffy, week in and week out. 2 million for him and gers have balogun for free. Frimpong was a dangerous wee dude and he's off. He knew that the ship was going under Brown and soro v Kamara and Davis. Who would you honestly have in the team? Turnbull is good. Arfield is better. Edouard is good but bad attitude. He's the equivalent of Morelos, even though Morelos was the highest scorer in the Europa League. Celtic aren't even in it.

Roofe is miles ahead of ajeti, Christie and ntcham. Are you honest with yourself? A month of Celtics wages is more than st mirrens yearly turnover. Finally. Lennon v Gerrard. Come on now. Some Celtic fans are deluded. Titles won without rangers in the league at the same time. One gifted title. Nine in a row wasn't real. Celtic really need to sort themselves out. why do the supporters still fill the pockets of the board. They don't listen to any of the protests.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 20:02:31
The statement from lennon that the players have let him down is laughable.
A player could easily say he has let them down, bad signings, bad team selection, bad subs, not recognising brown is done and not seeing turnbull as a player.
How bad does duffy need to be before he recognises he is crap.
Possibly the worst player i ever seen.
A good manager would DEMAND performances along with a team structure and tactics Lennon has none of this.
He has not lost the dressing room he has lost the whole feckin stadium.

30 Jan 2021 20:37:28
I can't understand why we would keep players that don't want to be here for what ever reason. Unless they can't get the value that the board deem them to be worth. Surely it's bad business to keep him or them at a club . Although it's bad business to keep a manager that is not good enough to be here also so where does that leave us?

Kenny mckintyre on radio Scotland asked about poor recruitment and mentioned klimala and ajeti and he said quote "kenny ajeti got 30 mins today" eh!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Is it poor recruitment or is it poor training & coaching standards? The overall players attitude, fitness and conditioning have been poor this season.}

30 Jan 2021 21:21:08
Ed you can hear the answer in what Calum McGregor hasn’t said in the last few post match interviews when he’s at least had the gonads to face the press. We didn’t understand the game he said after the Livingston game. You could see him having a think and biting his lip before the interview today. You could just about hear him say the managers lost it. He was the only player heard swearing when they beat us. I’ve defended the manager more than most and as much as anybody but its evident he’s lost the dressing room and the plot. He needs to go now for his sake and the clubs sake.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Even Joe Ledley on Soccer AM last Saturday spoke about Lennon's lack of tactical nous but he was a great man manager.
McGregor's had a honking season as well.}

30 Jan 2021 21:25:43
Duffy I think was poor recruitment, we couldve got better for the same price or just a bit more. The rest I firmly believe is down to poor coaching and training.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 21:28:57
Ed it’s a bit of all of those things.
I can’t believe how quickly the confidence has
Evaporated from the team. the most infuriating thing is
I still believe this is the best squad of players in the league
By a distance.
I think Lennon has a lot to answer for but
The players are also complicit it what’s gone wrong.

How long is Lennon contracted until?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's on a 12 month rolling contract, basically every day his contract has 12 months to run. Don't believe all the BS about Lennon waiting on a pay-off, that's just the rubbish being spread on the internet by morons.}

30 Jan 2021 23:41:40
Yet again another horror show to watch. And then Lennon comes out and slates the players. It is any wonder players want to leave under this management team. Again today players are struggling with 10 to 15 mins to go. The level or lack of fitness of the squad is a disgrace and it down to the manager and the management team. Yes players have a responsible to be fit but at this stage of the season how can guy not be fit. If u listen to the likes of McGregor in some of his recent interviews it's like no one has a clue what to do out there. The team selection changes are non stop, the management team are lost, players don't want to be there and some players seems to be getting worse by the week then when they first started like laxalt.

How Celtic can allow it to continue l just don't understand. And it can't be a money thing as l am sure there are compensation clauses already in place in managers contracts. Plus lennon is on a 12 months rolling contract. My big fear is that we allow Lennon stay till the end of the season and DON'T finish second to qualify for champions league qualification. Yes l know right now that's laughable but it's required to help acquire a quality manager. Surely an agreement needs to be done with Celtic and Lennon. If Lennon loves Celtic so much surely he can see his time is up and a new manager is needed.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 23:56:09
To his credit Duffy was probably one of our best players 2nd half but the damage was done in the first half. To be touch tight to the St Mirren player and needlessly turn his back and end up 10 yards off him allowing him a free shot is criminal. Should have buried the header at the end too but it was a decent enough stop by their goalie who looked rather suspect all game. What good is bringing Ajeti on too when he barely even has a shot at goal when he's on. He spends more time rolling around claiming to be fouled I think Klimala has more about him at least he fights for every lost cause.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2021 06:59:03
Duffy shouldn’t have seen the second half after that first half performance.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2021 12:09:10
At least he was one of the few that came out and gave it a go in the 2nd half. I'm not a fan of Duffy but him, Taylor and McGregor were the only ones trying in the 2nd half to turn the game around the rest were either too passive or looked to have accepted defeat. The 2nd half was the kind of player we had hoped to have signed in Duffy.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 20:01:10
We all know NL and the staff should not take another "coaching session " but our squad or lack of squad is going to make the new manager's job incredibly hard.
No keeper, left back or right back of any quality in the building.
Center halves made up of converted midfielders.
No quality in the wide areas.
No quality up top.
Shining light turnbull soro.
The new man better know how to spot a player because he will need plenty of them.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2021 20:23:06
Managers aren't scouts John. A manager will get input into signings but that's about it unless he runs the club like Alex Fergus on. It's scouting system and at one or a few points in this system at our club there are failures. I think there is quality there but lennon has lost the dressing room. 8 wins in 25 games is disgusting! There has been a failure in leadership from the very top, complacency during and after recent successes.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 20:45:47
Each to there own but if you can tell me the quality we have in goals or at lb or rb or ch or wide or up top then am glad you ain't our scout 🤣🤣
No manager worth there salt will take players from Hammond. he will want his own tried and trusted.
As it stands we are a complete basket case.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Do you think Chelsea just stopped their interest in players they are scouting and trying to sign when Lampard left them? All that time months - even years in some cases - and money just down the drain?}

30 Jan 2021 20:59:44
I think its proven that the last few windows haven't worked with the current set up.
Are you saying that a new manager will not try and bring one or two of his own players in.
Are we to believe a manager is gona want to go go with what our previous windows are producing.
I know the way it works. the club runs the show but a new guy must have a few suggestions to throw into the mix.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That'll depend on his remit. Tuchel will probably be allowed to bring in a couple of players that he wants but it won't deviate from Chelsea's long term plans which Tuchel won't have much of a say on. Abramovich has advisers and they have a lot more say at what happens at Chelsea than any of their multitude of managers with the exception of probably Mourinho.}

30 Jan 2021 19:44:23
I agree the players haven't been good enough. It looks like they don't know what they are doing. Paddy McCourt and Kelvin Wilson were both on the radio today saying Lennon doesn't do tactics. He had to ask Gary Parker what the tactics were before the game. If that's the case then no wonder we are awful and the players have chucked it. In modern day football it is all about tactics. Goodwin came today and nailed it with his tactics and set up. If he isn't working on tactics and it looks very much like that then he needs sacked right now.

st mirren livenston team are average players this celtic team have not got what they got the will to win and put a good shift in anybody who knows about football if the player you are against is more skilful than you make sure you run them into the ground with your fitness this celtic team think that they can walk a game with out putting in a good shift by the way when celtic park opens up again i will be one of the first in to sing you'll never walk alone maybe that is what the team are missing hh.

Like everyone lennon and the back room team have to take the responsibility for this season. The players also have to have a look at themselves as well, looking back we have had it easy for the last few years, when we stepped up to Europe we got embarrassed more often than not. The first season the Sevconians have a half decent side with decent organisation, they have folded massively.
They believe their own hype when in reality there seem to be few in that changing room
With a backbone. After the last few sevco games we all waited for reactions but again too often they capitulated and looked on ad they celebrated. There is a malaise that has crept into every dept at our club which needs addressing quickly.

It’s bad enough hearing Celtic fans airing our dirty washing in public on radio etc. but worse if it’s coming from the dressing room.

He's right, why is Lennon getting all the blame? These players are earning huge amounts of money, money that we pay. To just down tools like they have done this year is an absolute disgrace. They all knew what this season meant to the fans and play the way they have done (half arsed) no matter what they think of the manager shows what little they care about us.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 19:09:01
Partybadge, why blame Lennon? 1. cause he signed half the team he put out today
2. He had another half a team he signed on the bench
3. It was St Mirren at home
4. He is the manager, buck stops.
Need I go on?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 19:31:43
Chinks lennon should shoulder the blame but you're not getting my point. Not one of the players gave a fu$k today. Yet when they leave they will all be thanking us for the support and calling us the best fans. If they truly believed that then they should at least turn up and try no matter what they think of Lennon. Do it for us after all we pay their wage.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've been saying the same thing all season, PB. The players as a group MUST take some of the responsibility for this season's debacle. We can pick the bones out on forums and social media about who gets pass marks and who doesn't but at the end of the day they're all in this as a team.}

Honestly; I think this transfer window was the last thing on their mind the way they have messed up the season so badly.
Frimpong seemed to be a surprise and the club would have been delighted with an offer that size, but as far as arrivals, I said last week that a loan (or two) would be all we would see.
The club, manager and some players are steeped in so much uncertainty that MAJOR changes will be required, not a sticking plaster job in January. Today's shocker may prompt big decisions over the weekend?

The green brigade really let themselves down by stickers all over parkhead of Lawell today. The guy is going, sure things did not go as well as they could have this year but Lawell leaves having guided the club through some good years. Should be appreciated not vilified.

On the commercial side Lawell is second to none, in football terms he has held us back. If some players are seen as empty jerseys, then Lawell is an empty office. We are a month into a tranfer window we started with defensive problems and done absolutely nothing about it. So is Lawell just going sit on his hands until June?

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 16:11:04
Anyone think that the Green Brigade should put a banner outside parkhead to thank Peter Lawell for the success he has brought to Celtic over the years. It time to show a bit of class instead of abuse he received the last couple of months.

If we get Davies and I think its a big if . let's get him paired with ajer right and him left and get a decent rb in . I like ajer at but till the end of season I think its the way to go.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2021 14:41:41
I think Ajer is a really good RB IMO his best position he likes going forward and he's ok to good at tracking back.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 14:56:48
Get that but it'll be easier to get a decent rb till end of season or beyond but cbs cost real money.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 17:14:19
I'd rather Ajer at CB if I'm honest. He's a decent enough stop gap but today how many crosses did he put in the box? 1 maybe 2. If it means getting Duffy out the team who cost us the game yet again then keep Ajer at CB 🙏 Width has been our biggest problem this season attacking wise so wide players refusing to put it in the box only forces us to play narrow and today like many other days the past few seasons we really struggle to break down packed defences.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2021 14:07:38
I've been backing the manager until my nose is bleeding but just when you think his comments can't get any dafter he proves me wrong. Apparently it's not all Peter Lawell's fault. Goodness me Neil.

Is the new ceo only starting in July or is he working alongside lawell now, to have a seamless handover?
The reason I’m asking is, if he isn’t actually working beside him now, how would it be feasible to talk to prospective managers if they aren’t speaking to the person that they will be directly working for? In which case we are stuck with lennon until the end of the season and would give us very little time to find a manager, let him bed in and sign / sell players and build a side he wants .

I read Tom English (I know he's a pain in the arse) piece on the changing of the guard at CP and it highlighted the stark contrast in the role that PL took on, compared to the complete rebuild that Dominic McKay will inherit.

17 and a bit years ago, when PL walked through the door at CP we had just played in the UEFA Cup Final (this season we've been pumped in Europe)

Then we had MON as manager (now we've got NL)

Then we had King of Kings upfront and leaders all over the park (now it's Eddy and LG and several players who've downed tools)

Then we beat SEVCO 5 times on the spin (now, well you all know where we are)

Dominic McKay has plenty on his plate even before he sits down behind his new desk to start the biggest job in Scottish football.

Not only do I wish him every success but I will be praying that the supporters are patient and give him the chance he deserves to turn this ship around and set it on a new coarse.

{Ed007's Note - The thing is, Pedro name another CEO? Off the top of my head I can only think of Karen Brady at West Ham because she's a woman (so obviously fancies me 😁) and Woodward at Man Utd because he takes as much grief as Lawwell for the same reasons. We shouldn't care who the CEO is, a good CEO should be in the background working away doing their job with the spotlight on the football and who's running that.
Lawwell craved the power, the limelight and all the attention and he seen Celtic's successes as his own and that just fed his ego, he thought he knew more about football than men who have been in the game all their lives.
Once McKay takes over and makes the expected changes I don't expect to hear much from him.}

Years ago it was the Chairman everyone knew.
But half of our fans probably couldn’t tell us who our Chairman is and he’s been doing the job for mega years also.
What’s the difference of the duties from Jack McGinn to Ian Bankier,
Is it simply employing someone like Lawwell to share those duties?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The Chairman's position isn't a job as such, BB - I don't think Bankier gets a salary as such from Celtic. Have a read at THIS and see what you think.

"The Board of Directors has legal and financial responsibility for the affairs of the Company. The Board delegates day-to day operational responsibility to the executive Directors, the Chief Executive, Peter Lawwell and Financial Director, Christopher McKay."

But wt actual f does this mean? 😂😂

"The Board as a whole monitors Company performance against budgets and a rolling 5 year business plan......."

What 5 year business plan have we been following?}

30 Jan 2021 11:26:26
I agree Ed, a CEO's job is to work behind the scenes (behind the camera) , constantly looking and planning ahead at how he or she can commercially promote and strengthen the club financially, which in turn should benefit everyone connected with the club and ensuring a progressive and successful team on the park.

There can be no doubt that it has gone badly wrong and for some time, for the club to be in this position but as always, I remain hopeful and confident that Mr McKay can do the business.

Karen Brady back in the day, yum yum.
