Stephen McGowan from the Herald was given the Exclusive that Martin O’Neill would be the new permanent Manager of Celtic last Friday.
Today he has given an update.
Celtic have still to agree terms with Shaun Maloney and Mark Fortheringham on new deals and he added the figures were a distance apart.
Typical of the Celtic Board wanting everything on the cheap but then wanting top dollar when it’s the other way about.
Negotiations is one thing but then Celtic constantly Embarrassing Themselves is another thing altogether.

Doesn’t bode well for a rebuild when they are penny pinching here.

These people are averse to embarrassment. they've got a coaching staff in place already on the cheap and want to haggle down more. rats.

Buzz just read that myself
This current Board just plums lower and lower
These two coaches helped us win a double, treat them with respect and pay them the going rate.

World class in everything apart from wages, signings, football structure, strategy and fan engagement.

See various sites now reporting its as much as 50% lesser terms than last season? Surely the backroom staff continue on regardless of the manager ? Thought maloney was offered a new role before oniel was announced?
Even seen 1 site claiming oniel accepted 35% less than last season.
Surely this is a joke? And clickbait nonsense?

You reckon there's any truth in this. Seems bizarre even for our plc.

If they want to save money for the club, why don’t the entire board resign. They won’t be feckin missed!

Not at all surprised. I posted yesterday that I had a feeling there was a blocker of sorts and that the Board were to blame. They really are a shambles and there is no way that Maloney and Fozz are asking for anything ridiculous. There time is well and truly up. Mass protests of sorts (not sure what) required to force their hand.
