Now that MON has confirmed what he wants both Sarrachi and Iheanacho it shows how inept our Board are at doing business. These should be the easiest 2 deals in history to complete and in the case of Iheanacho the earlier the better given his fitness struggles.
That we are "in talks" is truly embarrassing and shows Nicolson and Co up for what they are, amateurs promoted outwith their capabilities.

We really are awful at dragging out getting deals over the line, still not got
Duran confirmed and we need several more. Doesn’t bode well for getting the majority in for pre-season, likely heading for another deadline day panic.
On the other hand, the woman’s team’s recruitment is fairing much better if you go by the website.

He also confirmed it was him who held up the deals for SM and Fozzy.
So much for them not signing as we were offering less money
Usual SMSM with their "Celtic BAD" stories.

What MON said was because he did not sign until a few weeks ago. Negotiations for SM and fozzy did not begin until after he signed.
That does mean we didn't offer them less money and negotiations over wages did not happen, thus delaying it further.

I think the hardest thing this summer ( apart from getting rhe club to separate themselves from the money) , will be changing the coaches systems, getting them not to coach the possession football, side to side, back to ftont and back again nonsense which was so easy to defend against last season.
MON has openly said he hates it and wants a far more direct attacking style, so the coaches will be need to change their training techniques.
If we get the rights players in, and the ciaches get it right, it could be an interesting season.

Celtic offered less money. They over paid on the 6 month contract and renegotiate the new one standard stuff.

Ian atcho is probably wanting pl money is right not to give in to that, he had yo be realistic, it.
