I have an open mind on Nancy, seems on face of it a strong character, know nothing of his football manager skills except he's had some success across the pond, I think if McKenna is a serious contender not getting him for Nancy or anyone else will always be put down as cheap option, regardless if another candidate seems an actual better candidate fans will put decisions down to the cost alone, one real positive for me is the freshness a new backroom team will bring, of course any change carries huge risk but surely there's positives to look forward too, Ed or anyone do we think this will happen over break?

It wouldn't look good if Nancy wasn't brought in straight away although he would have 3 difficult away games to start with.
His season has finished in the MLS.
If it's going to be Nancy I would expect him to be taking training on Monday morning in preparation for the St. Mirren match.
Any later would be unprofessional by the Celtic Board unless there was a reason for his later appointment.

What does cheap option actually mean, was ange a cheap option was Rodgers knutsen might be on less than our current wage band Nancy to how do we know its all speculation.

Nancy is long odds on (1/ 8) to be next manager.
I'd be concerned by his lack of knowledge/ experience of Scottish and European football. Also, will he know of the "issues" at Celtic and be aware the BoD might promise him the world but deliver much less?
However, if he is the manager, let's hope he does well.

I was hoping it would be McKenna or even Martinez and Maloney if MON is not staying until the end of the season.
I know hee-haw about Nancy, but that was the same when AP took over and he was not familiar with the Scottish game and it's carbuncles, warts and all the other bigoted rubbish that comes with it.
If it is him, make it quick to at least allow a quick transition.

How much did ange know about European football never mind Scotland, if your good enough that shouldn't come into it.

Mally cheap option isn't something I would say, I'm saying lots of people will, ange was a complete panic and left field risk imo, Eddie Howe was the man the club tried hard to get, that particular situation gives me a bit of positive perspective on manager front, on that occasion the manager we tried to get and manager we ended up choosing where both good options.
