Feck me liverpools cbs are worse than ours 😁.

No word on DOF or a Manager but on this day in 1985. McClair and McStay scored against Hearts. That is the Latest from Celtic plc.

06 Apr 2021 19:35:15
What other football club keep their fans constatntly updated, these negotations are always done privately and fans need to remember things like boardroom confidentiality and their fiduciary duties. We're a plc and that brings in regulations that must be followed to. Acting like spoiled kids isn't going to make things happen any faster mate.

06 Apr 2021 19:42:55
Bestybhoy mentioned on our podcast, how complicated managers contracts can be to set up.
I don’t mind how long it takes, as long as we get the next appointment right.

Spoiled kids away and stop talking rubbish. Its our club they can hide behind all the pointless tweets and plc regulations they want. Treat us with utter contempt. Our biggest shareholder never goes to any AGM's, forget that he doesn't even go to games. Plays golf and uses us as a wee antidote in the club house. Left Lawell in charge that long he was acting like a DOF and undermined every manager. Spoilt kid don't make me laugh. I support the team not faceless plc who only intrested in money. If your happy with everything fair enough.

20 year of complete success?

06 Apr 2021 21:43:35
I'm starting to wonder if Howe is just a smoke screen to get people to buy season tickets and then they appoint John Kennedy.

06 Apr 2021 23:14:56
Kennedy will never be a Celtic manager.

06 Apr 2021 23:46:01
@Jonbhoy, he already is the Celtic manager, albeit a caretaker one. ;)

Complete success did you miss the mismanagement that cost us 10. The cheap options at every opportunity taking us from Invincibles to impersonating a football club.

07 Apr 2021 07:30:58
Do uou want me to list the cups we've one, yes this season has been poor for various reasons, we spent money it hasn't worked, it happens.

We've not had a real challenge for a decade. No fault of ours if others can't run there finances properly. Celtic plc are good at the finical side of the buisness. If your happy with the decline in the football department from the plc fair enough. Celtic plc have slept at the wheel by a missing owner and a egotistical CEO who got carte Blanche on running one of the biggest clubs in Europe. As i said if your happy fair enough.

07 Apr 2021 10:57:42
auf1888 in terms of cheap option look at the cheap players we got and made millions on them. some work out some don't for you to hit a little mood swing over the ones who have not worked out is childish indeed mate. we spent this season everyone was buzzing with the transfer window players just did not work out it happens and for us it happened on a important season add that to all the damage cv rules did to us as well the last 20 year as a celtic fan have been amazing European finals invisible trebles 9 in a row quadruple trebles smashing all most records football and financial. if that is poor to you then i wonder what success looks like to you. mind we do play in Scotland there is financial limits. but with some one with your insight we could maybe stick a bid in for halaand at 100 mill say.

07 Apr 2021 11:32:10
Can Haalaand play in goal. We've blow millions on projects. Any any gems we've picked up have been sold. I sleep well in the knowledge all our good players will help the bank balance. It seems the new way to support Celtic.
Would be intresting to know how much millions we've wasted.

07 Apr 2021 14:09:28
thats easy mate just look up all the projects and add the value we spent on them to the value we have made on selling them.

Celtic were undefeated in all 5 previous last 16 Scottish Cup ties against old club Rangers before they entered a Liquidation process.
Twice Celtic progressed after a replay.

06 Apr 2021 11:59:55
It's not yet been confirmed the cup game will be shown on Premier Sports.
I read that they have the first pick to the broadcasting rights for the 4th round.
The police will insist it's a lunchtime kickoff time.
The schedule for Premier Sports that weekend.
Saturday April 17th
No game @ 12.00pm
Premier 1 and 2 have live games @ 2pm.
Sunday April 18th
Premier 1 @ 11.30am live game.
Premier 1 and 2 @ 2pm live games.
Normally BBC show a cup game live at lunchtime on the Saturday and Premier Sports live game is usually about dinner time.
But I have a feeling the game will be played on the Saturday @ 12 pm.
That will be exactly 5 years since we last lost a Scottish Cup Tie.

06 Apr 2021 12:23:28
Also I don’t think Premier Sports will want to clash with the FA cup semi finals.
Both the English Semi Final matches have dinner time kickoff times that weekend.
Although there will be no supporters attending the game at Ibrox, I still think the Police will want a lunchtime kickoff time.
They won’t want all the supporters drinking all day in the lead up to the match.
They probably feel they will only need to deal with the supporters who are celebrating after the game because the fans of the losing side will probably be in their beds. 😂.

1 fact i can state is a new manager will be in place this summer along with Dominic McKay and possibly DOF everybody chill out and take a chill pill instead of doomsday posts day in day out we have had a bad season we try win Scottish cup and kick on again next season.

look forward to the summer and see what the new set up brings or you can just keep moaning on how the board is not making all the moves its making public. everything to move the club forward will be in motion just because they don't release it to the press does not mean it is not happening you would think the club is going under with a lot of doomsday posts 1 bad season and its like were in turmoil this was always going to be a transitional season regardless of a successful season or not.

PS projects always need to be bought some work out some don't.

06 Apr 2021 12:13:18
Why waste three months treading-water, with a management team that have an uncertain future and half a team that won't be here? Appointing a manager now will give him a chance to assess the squad and maybe even convince a few quality players to stay-put? It also gives him a settling-in period where he can familiarize himself with Scottish football's 'top six' and a cup to play-for. He will not be accountable for this season because it has gone with the wind. We have went into previous seasons under-prepared and unfit, so here is a chance to set the foundations, or else we wait for a new-broom scenario in June/ July, brisk introductions, transfer window, contract talks and CL qualifiers all in a fortnight of starting a new job?

06 Apr 2021 12:33:41
I think that our new manger needs to be in place asap.
The sooner we get Kennedy and Strachan out of there the better. It would give everyone a lift having him and his back room staff in place.
This will give him time to assess the squad and see where he needs to strengthen.
Hail Hail 🍀🍀🍀.

06 Apr 2021 12:39:44
a suppose mate you could bring him in just now to a season that has been a disaster with the same players there who don't want to be there and giving a half effort on the field.

were it could all go wrong for him due to the team being completely demoralised were he loses the Scottish cup and loses the last derby match of the season were we have the fans base already split on him being manager which will add 10 times more pressure on him and let's be honest the way fans have been acting this season if howe was to lose the scottish cup and the last derby against them there would be calls for him to be sacked already. what would be your views on him if we lost to the sevies in the cup and the last match against them in the league i think you would have doubts

or we could just let kenneday see the season out and let howe sort things behind the scenes building up to the summer then he officially comes in this summer already having put some things in place knowing he was going to be manager 2 or 3 months in advanced fresh start for him and the squad and a new season ahead with last season put away were it should be

so if howe starts in the summer we will be unprepared and unfit why appoint managers in the summer then if it means teams will be unprepared and unfit should every team sack there manager 2 month before seasons ends and let the new manager who was coming in in the summer take over as its risking letting them start in the summer as the teams will be unprepared and unfit i always thought that's what pre seasons were for getting fit


3 months treading water you say. i can picture eddie howe accepting the Celtic job to come in to start a fresh in the summer him just sitting there for 3 months watching netflix. as soon as he accepts the job he will start preparing regardless if its this season or in the summer. just because its not official till the summer does not mean he won't be looking at what needs to be brought in and on the phone to people from club finding out what players will be looking to leave and what positions will need filled and he will definitely be having conversations with players who want out regardless if he joins in the summer or just now. he will be very munch involved soon as he accepts the job.


if its Eddie Howe for the job but starts in the summer him and Dominic McKay will 100 percent be in dialogue sorting things out behind the scenes wile this rubbish show of a seasons plays out with Kennedy seeing it out.

06 Apr 2021 13:11:34
I myself see it a totally different way, let's say we appoint him (Howe) just now and he loses the 2 Rangers games with a squad that is not his, he will already be swimming against the waves next season, cause there will be many a fan who will already hold a black mark against him for losing those 2 games. I say be patient, appoint him asap but don't allow him to officially take over until when the season finishes, that way he can start afresh next season with his own squad.

06 Apr 2021 17:57:54
If he isn't confident of preparing this squad to beat rangers then he shouldn't bother coming at all.

06 Apr 2021 18:17:31
But it isn't his squad, give the guy the chance to intigrate his own methods during pre-season with his own squad, really don't see the reason in gambling on him giving us the so called" bounce effect " to win the scottish cup, this season has gone.

06 Apr 2021 10:27:40
I think the potential Howe appointmen could be good but comes with a reasonable amount of risk. I can see there's a large number of poster on here that will be devastated if it doesn't happen. I would much rather take the risk with Howe thank Keane but I'm hesitant to get excited until I see the result of his potential impact.
I read today, reported by the Sun so taking with a pinch of salt that the hold up is because Howe wants to bring in Richard Hughes from Bournemouth as our new sporting director. I don't know anything of the guy but this could be a major mistake from the club. Realistically your DOF will still be here after a manager has departed. It brings consistency to the club and the club's footballing plans when the upheaval of a new manager may occur. To allow Howe that amount of power would be a major risk. This is why the DOF should be appointed first because you are looking for a decade of consistency implementing changes from the academy to the first team. If this is true I see more major upheaval down the line. If this were to happen where would we be if Howe and Hughes moved as a tandem to another job?

06 Apr 2021 09:17:10
OK guys am I the only one thinking how many ways our dithering Board can mess up HOWE coming to Celtic.

06 Apr 2021 08:37:07
Young hickey saying he would come, we need a lb so go get him.

06 Apr 2021 09:11:45
Why mally did he not come when we were supposedly in for him?

06 Apr 2021 10:35:38
No idea mate.

06 Apr 2021 11:51:08
taylor is far superior to hickey. the hibs bhoy is better prospect . and young adam Montgomery is getting good things said about his progress . so is hickey needed?
