I am pretty sickened by the onslaught being directed towards Wilfried Nancy. I get people being underwhelmed however the floating of being sacked is just ridiculous. Its not lost on me the comparison to John Barnes maybe it's unconsciously but can't be overlooked imo. I'm still perplexed from the reaction from Hearts game and furthermore the Roma game.
All the hypothetical and fantasy chat would have you believe MON would have won the Europa league, I think would have still lost to Roma my opinion hypothetical so can't be proven either way. It's clear to me that WM is trying to assess what he has so he then will know what he needs. I am so dissapointed with the inside noise regarding WM.
The outside noise is expected neanderthals like Sam Allardyce didn't realise he was still with us, think his opinion counts! Will never forget how disrespectful he was to our club playing a pre season game, man is a tool. I genuinely believe WM will come through this.
All the drama and melodramatic surrounding the club currently is dissapointing and as I stated before I think our support has been infiltrated and to dismiss this theory especially with the stance regarding Palestine is foolish, divide and conquer it's the standard practice.
Yes the lines are drawn and the response from upstairs towards the support wasn't a surprise to me they just Doubled down. I feel its similar to someone who says something they have heard pretending it's their own, upon questioning they have nothing so just go on the attack and dig the heels and offer aggression, it's a bullying tactic people default when they are full of rubbish.
I'm really just bent out of shape currently, pained with the state of affairs and don't see anyone blinking. I just want to goto the games support the players who have been told they are utter rubbish repeatedly and support our new manager who is also being rinsed.
Everything gets over analysed and reactions are over the top game to game. Everyone has an opinion, including me. Don't know what the future holds but I do feel this is a critical period for the future of our club. I just hope the damage and division doesn't scuttle the club indefinitely as its a changing of the guard to the younger generation. HH.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable guy to me. Think he'll come good.

Why do you think the fans are angry just now? How do you rate the boards communication and engagement with fans? How do you rate the clubs performance in the transfer market? Should the fans just ignore the attacks on them by the board? Should the fans just ignore the mismanagement of the club? How is the rift between fans and board going to be fixed after Ross Desmond's public chastising of fans?
By the way I don't recall anyone saying Nancy should be sacked but surely we are allowed to be critical of his current performances and choices? Surely we are allowed to have opinions on whether he was a good or bad appointment. My take is he was a risky appointment and one that should have been avoided in these troublesome times. That does not mean I want him to fail or be sacked. I have even said that I reckon he is a good coach but I have my reservations on whether or not he has the skill set needed to manage Celtic in these troubling times and due to what is happening fan patience and tolerance is at a low.

If Nancy loses the Cup final on Sunday of course he should be sacked. Some of the choices he has made since becoming Celtic manager is disgraceful.

Too early for me on the manager.
If the board doesn't supply quality signings in January then sadly it won't matter who the manager is.
I have said consistently that there are too many SPFL level players in the squad that really should not be at Celtic.
Yes some have good games now and then and some fans will defend them however if we are being honest Ralston , Murray, Welsh, Pussey, Shin, McCowan, Kenny, Yang, Tounekti, Scales should be no where near Celtic.
On top of this we have a few players who appear injury prone in CCV, Tierney, Sarrachi.
And to top it all have no quality at all on the RW and CF.
It's a mess.

I cannot recall reading anyone say we would win the Europa if MON stayed on. If they did I missed that.
What we are saying is that at this point in the season, a really important time, we need some continuity.
The players have just settled into MON system, following our spiral at the end of BR's reign, and now they have to try and negotiate a totally different system to one they have ever played before.
WN could have come in and slowly changed/ tweaked things, so it wasn't a huge shock to the players but no he has come in and stamped his style on the team atraight away, knowing full well that we currently do not have the players to play that way.
We know it and he should have seen it.
Is it arrogance or pure and simple self belief, because it cannot be a belief that the players can adapt straight away as his previous teams took at least a season to adapt.
Do we have that season, seriously do we, to wait to see if this system works because if it doesn't we are in serious trouble.
Very few teams play this system amd even less at the top level because it is unbelievably risky.
It is similar to the 70's Brazil, you can score against us but we will score more than you.
I do listen to him but it doesn't inspire me, it is just soundbite after soundbite to me.
I don't want to have a go at him, I really don't as it isn't fair as he us just here, but to arrive and say he would take his time to make changes and then just apply his system straight away makes me believe he does not know any other way to play, there is no and never will be a Plan B.
God I hope I am wrong, I really do and he surprises us all but what I see on the pitch from our players is confusion.
