Just heard not one Celtic employee or Director met Nancy before his appointment……all interviews were done (2 number) via Zoom. First face to face meeting was in London when he arrived. He spent a couple of days with Tisdale ( and one other director) but that was after his contract was signed.
Unheard of for a PLC to appoint a senior manager without a F2F interview. I know a number of people taking jobs in stars and gulf… all interviewed F2F. I had one myself in London for a job in Australia…. beggars belief as meeting WN you would grasp he didn't have the gravitas or presence for the job.
One other Thing…. We didn't interview anyone else.
Unforgivable and again almost unheard of for a senior position. That must rest with the CEO.

It took over 40 days to finally get Nancy although a verbal agreement was in place.
Well that's according to what Gordon Strachan let out the bag when he mentioned the new Celtic Manager wasn't coming until December.
Nancy was the Celtic Manager for less days than it took to sign him.

celtic65,
if true (and I'm not doubting you) then that is the most extraodinary way to go about making such an appointment.
PL and MN flew out to Spain to speak with BR when he was appointed for the second time and he'd already filled the trophy cabinet on his previous tenure.
The board have done themselves no favours whatsoever this season and Nancy's appointment, start to finish, can be added to that appalling list.
