Just read the BBC Web Site, they are leading with "clear hint at departure" angle.
Or is it that he is really exiting (ie making an real exit...)
-
Paul
You would have thought that was clear enough but it's obviously not judging by the bbc football web page.
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has given his strongest suggestion yet that he could leave the club in the summer.
O'Neill again refused to deny mounting speculation that he's resigning to take some time out of football.
When asked where he would be next season, he said he wouldn't say for sure, but added he "definitely wouldn't be going to another football club."
O'Neill will win his fourth SPL championship in five seasons if Celtic win at Motherwell on Sunday.
More to follow...

-
Obviously the fact that Martin said 'if you are asking am I leaving to go to another football club the answer is no' will just be interpreted as he's taking a break from football.
Why the hell can't the man just say, 'As long as I'm not sacked I'll be here next season' is that too much to ask?

Rumoid, my sister told me "I'm dumping the wee man (her son) with Mum" what chances do you think there are for any one getting a ticket when there are mental ladies like that about .ps she has had a season ticket for 12 years!
-
Good point above, please check your spelling. I am sure Martin finds the future 'exciting', not 'exiting'.
Nat
-
is that exiting or exciting
-
Just read the bbc website regarding this. If this is what the BBC is putting out imagine what the headlines will be in the tabloids tomorrow.
And yet again right near the eve of a ttile clincher, we have the media trying to destabilise our club.
Paul , im guessing you did mean exciting and not exiting ;)
Now wheres that spell checker
-
Did you mean exciting, rather than exiting as you have typed? Makes a real difference to the story!!!
-
Paul, where you at the press conference ?
-
I was told from a good source today that MON has told his players he is going to take some time away from football after the Cup Final!!
Take from that what you will but apparently his wife is still very unwell and Martin wants to devote as much time as possible to her!
-
Looks like the BBC is fast becoming the Daily Record of the net.
The worst thing is you can't bhoycott them by not paying the TV licence!
I'm so exited Paul!! Just can't wait for Sunday........
Lets hear it for the bhoy(s) as the song goes!
-
The word around Celtic Park over the last week or so has been that Martin is taking a break from the game altogether. I have to say, reading his comments today, this lends some weight to that story.
Whatever Martin decides he will always be remembered as the guy who gave us back our pride on the playing field. If he does go, then it will be with my thanks and best wishes.
I will then turn my attention to giving "total commitment" in terms of support for the next manager. Give Tommy Burns another go I say.
-
Why are we even entertaining this chat at the moment?
-
BBC scotland have the same information as Paul but somehow managed to miss out vital details of the looking to the future(concerning players) ang are obvioulsy doing some scaremongering amongst celtic fans who are resided to gaining their celtic news through such sources as BBC, or the papers tomoro no doubt
-
OK, OK, far too excited to post anything at the moment!
-
Martybhoy
regarding the tv licence
Oh yes you can!
-
MON aint leaving but if he did he would get my best wishes he wouldnt be talking about the future like this if he was leaving.
Footballs a funny thing though but i fully expect him to be around and really grind Rangers into the dirt next year.
Good luck Sunday Celtic.
-
If Martin Oneill should leave Celtic (lets hope he doesn't) the next manager in line for the Job in my opinion would be Tony Mobray, no better man to do the job than the guy who invented the famous huddle and turn things around with Hibs
-
As long as we have the £15m, I don't mind who spends it ;)
-
Like many others including the BBC I am also reading this as he is off in the Summer however I am intrigued by the fact that it sounds like he is still going to be involved in the transfer activity. Do I sense another General Manager/Coach type management structure? It makes sense in as much as it will relieve him of much of the day-to-day part of his job.
-
David Moyes for me.
Is he a celtic man.
Tony Mobray lacks the big game experience though but he plays lovely football.
MON stays for 6 more years then Moyes will be primed for the position.
Give MON time to win his 9 or 10 titles first though.
-
Without trying to get too heavily into semantics here I think we should remember that Martin talks about the "football club this, the football club that" it is the terminology he uses. I think this is more media stirring.
I also think there is a little evil in the man too, he likes to keep all those idiots at the press gathering (except Paul) guessing.
Keeps everyone on their toes and makes us realise just how lucky we are.
-
As much as i hate the way journalists are selective with the quotes they print and the negative spin the put on things, he does completely bring it all on himself with his stupid, ambiguous statements.
-
OK - lets stop talking now about who "may" replace MON. Lazy journos surfing the Web will be able to print nonsense like "Mowbray fans fav. to replace O'Neill". Let it lie, unlike Chic Young wouldn't.
Anyway, I remember the last time we went into a last match of the season needing a win to ensure the title. All the talk back ten was about our manager leaving. We won the league that time - so that will do for me !
-
Why do we even bother having press conferences before important matches like this one, when we know all the press scum up here are just gonna use it against us?
Just seem like giving them the amo to shot us with!!
-
If anyone else mentions MON leaving until after the Cup final I say give the charity box a tenner,be positive and don't even mention these websites of the B b c and the others,it's only a free advertisement for their website,we may have to pay the licence fee in most instances but if you don't click on their websites then you won't give them extra revenues.
After all there has been an open policy of bhoycotting the recor*
I do believe it has been hitting them in the pocket,more so than ever recently judging by the way other papers are changing their editorial stance towards Celtic to pick up on their lost readers.
There will only be one set of supporters smiling at the end of the weekend.
Then it's onto Hampden in the sun
DaveL I'm hearing you.

-
Have to agree with the Beeb Paul, sounds like he is leaving but as he says not to another football club. Could it work with JR and SW in charge while we wait on MON sorting out his private life? As a 'family' club I would like to think we would but if the 'success at any cost' mentality takes over then its unlikely we will. However as supporters we should definitely put the who thing to one side and concentrate on one more final push this Sunday. Wee Tam.
-
Paul
Great Site and good reporting - keep this up for the sake of all Celtic Fans.
Hail Hail
B
-
Paul, well done.
It's tremendous now hearing ALL aspects of press briefings rather than the selected bits that the media stick out.
Not only do they spin and re-gurgitate old news to sound negative - and never more so than on the eve of big games - but as we've now read, they selectively omit stuff that would be construed as positive for Celtic fans.
I doubt we'll read of MON being "really excited" about anything in tomorrow's papers, radio/tv reports, or on the BBC website.
It was great to read about it here though.
C'Mon Celtic - one more push.
We Shall Not Be Moved.
-
" excited about signings" "help will be forthcoming" this is seismic from the usually cautious MON.
impossible to believe he will leave just as the opportunity to really take us forward presents itself. "much chance of staying as leaving" he's been saying this type of stuff for years.
Prepare for the double, a summer of signing fun and continued domination with MON leading the parade.
-
It's not just the BBC. The "quality" rags were regurgitating big Feck's ramblings on that other mob sitting atop the moral high ground...does anybody expect anything else!
http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=551052005
"I think the institution that is Rangers has been unsurpassed in 132 years in terms of dignity. We would never bring into question the integrity of the officials"
Why would they need to question their integrity when they can bring it up at the next lodge meeting. What a load of henry halls...
-
Why the Panic ? MON never give sa straight answer to these morons who twist any story to suit their needs to sell papers to the uneducated. He feeds them small bits of info. and must laugh his head off once its printed and then as always does his own thing.
Lets concentrate on supporting the Bhoys over the next two weekends and rest will take care of itself.
-
IF MoN was to leave, i don't think he'd quit permanently. It would probably be something like 6 month's while putting someone in temporary charge. Someone like SW and JR or maybe even..... Paul Lambert? Too late for that one i guess.
anyway, i don't see why i am speculating on this, i firmly believe that MoN will spend the cash over the summer and get the new team in order come august.
Oh, and thanks Paul for telling the'whole truth', instead of the likes of the Record going "When Larsson left _________ it has been tough_____Help"

Just taken from the BBC and the record website:
"SPL Points Change Plan by Joe King:
Today it has emerged that the Scottish FA in association with the BBC and Daily Record, after an intensive campaign, have decided to push through the points restructuring of the SPL. From today all points for this season will be re-evaluated to the old format of 2pts for a win a 1pt for a draw. This make the title race neck and neck with Rangers sitting comfortablyy ahead on goal difference. An SPL source said "We felt it was the fairest way to upset Celtic and hand Rankers the title". Meanwhile, things got much worse for Celtic as there manager said he's leaving. When asked about the future he said "Who cares leave it to Co Adriannse".
This story has as much foundation as anything the BBC has printed today.
-
Did anyone really expect anything other than negative stories from the media regarding celtic before such an important game, please people i'ts par for the course
-
Bellamy leaving, Mon leaving, club in crisis arghhhhh....
My mum was told by her neighbour when hanging out the washing the other day that MON is staying...
The neighbour said if MON was temporarily leaving do you think paul lambert would have so keen to sew up the Livingston job....
Come on guys concentrate on the game....(and my camels are still available for anyone who has a ticket burning a hole in their pocket btw)...
-
MON has not been at celtic for quite a few summers in his charge. World cups etc, just because he may be taking some time off after the season is over it does not mean he is going anywhere... pure speculation!
-
Lets face it.
1. The press up here have nothing to write about.
2. They make crap up/miss interprit/make mountains out of mole hills etc.
3. Negative news sells more than positive.
Martin realised this along time ago and simply goes fishing at press conferences.
Come on the guy is doubtless a smart and shrewd cookie. He knows exactly what he is saying (well apart from in Turin, with a certain ref) and knows for a fact that press will hang on his every word. He must have a right old chuckle to himself when the media go into overdrive and the least wee thing he says.
The other factor is diversion. By holding the kind of press conferences he does, it diverts attention from the players. Just look at fannny baws Mourino at Chelsea.
Keep it up Martin, it certaintly gives me a giggle.
Scott
-
Harry Hill,
another reason rankers dont need to complain about match officials is because, in case any1 needs reminding, had shall we say 'close relations' to match officials in past years
-
Same old hysteria and nonsense.
It's actions that count, not words.
Deal with the reality and not the fantasy.
-
I'm glad to see my fellow celts giving this story the reaction i't deserves, i just feel for the poor few who still believe the nonsense the poor excuse's for journalist's in this country print.
-
I cant beleive some people on this site are already putting forward suggestions for a replacement manager.And if your going to say you heard from a 'good source' please tell us who it is or shut it.
Fuckin BBC again
If i had bothered to buy a tv licence id be sending it back
-
Been reading this for months and never felt the desire to say anything until today. Contacts i have in advertising confirmed to me months ago oneil would go in the summer to be replaced by a foreign coach. I would just like to say to oneil goodluck and i hope everything works out well with the wife.
-
"Contacts in advertising" - yeah because they know everything 1st!
Honestly gee us peace.
-
There are no possible replacements for the man. No other manager would ahve been able to do what MON has done for celtic and it is ludricrous to pick out other men for the job until we know his certain future. So for now, calm down and get the 3 points on sunday
mon the hoops
-
It certainly makes a difference reading all of Martin O'neil's comments.
Surely the BBC does not have an agenda against Celtic?
If, like me, your fed up with "lazy Journalism" phone the BBC and complain on 0141 339 8844.
The least we can do is tie up thier phone line till the league is tied up!
-
OK Rab1888 we will all now just come on this site and say what a wonderfull guy Paul is cheer "hear hear" when he posts and have no opinions or comments of our own. That would work wouldn't it?
-
For 'contacts' read 'good source'
-
"I think the institution that is Rangers has been unsurpassed in 132 years in terms of dignity. We would never bring into question the integrity of the officials"
what....unsurpassed for over 100years at imposing a policy of not signing players beacause of their religious background?
Daniel Fergus
-
good source has celtic ad account and have been briefed on campaign to boost merchandising and deflect the negative backlash when mon walks. might be nonsense but it was them that told me mon was coming in first place only saying what i was told.
-
MON is a very clever guy and doesn't tend to make comments he doesn't mean.
I'm sure if you were to analyse the "MON to go..." headlines, they all come before big games and are usually attributable to some vague comment he made to the press.
My personal feeling is that he's playing the media like a violin.
He throws this stuff about to get the spotlight on to complete nonsense about him, which in turn takes the spotlight and pressure off the players.
I personally think that if he wants to go, fair play to himk. I'll miss him, but life will go on with yet another "Rangers revolution" (how many is that now?)
McCann came and gave us some fiscal stability to build on and O'Neill did a similar job with the team.
-
Anon 3pm It most businesses they call that "contingency planning" Media / Advertising teams are always going through exercises like this. It is just good business sense. If they have the "advertising account" then they should be subject to confidentiality agreements.
A very close friend of mine is doing the property transaction for the new training facility and I can assure you he has told me nothing, zip, nada.....so Celtic aren't that daft.
-
Anon 2:54
a contact told me your reliable source was talking rubbish
there. now we're having a proper debate
-
Anon 3.00pm - Come on get a grip.
-
Celtic do not have a retained advertising agency. They have a retained PR agency, The BIG Partnership, who Brian Quinn 'tried' to call a few weeks back but no advertising agency. Your 'contact' is spinning a line. There's no way this kind of information (even if it was true) would be passed to the ad agency and I'm sceptical to think anyone at Celtic would think some press ads might address any kind of fan backlash at MON leaving (which he won't).
My first posting and it's a negative one. sorry.
Looking forward to Sunday,
Ogilvy&Mather
-
Remember there are now probably lots of interlopers - so don't rise to the bait (or so a reliable contact said to my source).
-
Soemone's nicked my alias on the BBC website. So....not to be confused wi' the other PaddyBhoy!
Mates and I were talking earlier in the week trying to guess the negative story that would come out before the weekend......no negative Rangers stories? Shum mishtake shurely....?!!
Anyhow, let's not get distracted by them and concentrate on trying to win the league.
It's clear that IF MON leaves then it is to care for his wife....no fan will question this, and we would all thank him and pray that she hopefully recovers soon.
No question by what he said he left that possibility open. Lets not waste any more breath on the whole thing.
C'mon the hoops on Sunday!
-
Let's not forget that Martin O'Neill is a very, very astute. man. Do you think he would deliberately put things in the media envronment that he thought would damage our chances on the eve of such a crucial game?
Nonsense.
I very much share the opinion of those who are disgusted with the BBC.
We can make an active decision not to buy the Record or the Sun, but unfortunately many of us can't escape buying a TV license.
I therefore find the BBC's agenda over the past few weeks, both on radio and the interent, even more disgusting than the tabloids.
It may be argued that the objective of newspapers is to sell advertising, but what's the BBC's excuse??
One other point, shame on those already talking about MON's successor. You're the reason why tabloids still make money.

Harry Hill
God point re McLeish claim to Rangers "dignity" over 132 years, always accepting referees decisions.
Big Eck should check out his club's 132 year history. He'll find out that they did not accept the ref's authority in 1969 when Jim Callaghan did not send Big Yogi off in an old firm game which Celtic won. Rangers' dignified protest was rewarded with the ref being suspended for 8 weeks.
-
A point no-one has made so far. Just HOW much money has MON made taking the Third Estate to court for their shambolic attempts at journalism?
If I were him I would be making exactly these sorts of ambiguous statements until we get the next 'exclusive'. A friend of a friend who swears. Oh yeah? Hotline to the brief.
I've also envied him on his position in being able to lay all of those mugs on betfair who have heard a whisper he is going to be the next manager of whoever. I hope he has made a tidy sum all told.
-
Or is that the Fourth Estate?-don't even know what it means!!!

MON leaving
Bellamy leaving
Bobo leaving
Sutton leaving
Petrov leaving
Fernandez leaving {yes ya dancer}
Crests broken, thugs and thieves
Celtic a Club in crisis.
All however runs smoothly down mordor way. You couldnt make it up, well you can if your employed in certain areas of the media. No doubt that wee shit that is Spewan cameron will flog it for all its worth on real rangers radio.
Players come and players go. Managers come and managers go thats the reality of the situation Will MON leave?. Only if it is for the health of his wife, even then im sure he will still have dealings with celtic. Why? because he s one of us. Lets pray for his wifes health and lets pray that he stays. Something just tells me that he s at it with the press I do really believe he has a great disdain for some of them.
-
“I came back with my old stock answer”
in reply to old stock questions. In other words - ask a silly question you get a silly answer.
“When I arrived I inherited some pretty good players, and some not too clever, but after two weeks I had made then my team”
a wee pop at big Eck’s constant claims that he is not too far away from having his own team?
I believe, like others have said before, that Martin likes to tease these hacks every Friday at the obligatory press conference. I personally cannot see Martin leaving Celtic this summer or anytime soon.
dialupcelt
-
O'Neill is staying, I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way.
Eck taking the morale high ground? He was adimant the penalty had been awarded correctly, when even the CIA and MI6 couldn't argue for it. Also wasn't this the same manager who put pressure on match officials by saying they might try to be "too fair", i.e. any decision against Rangers is a bad decision and biased because the ref is only trying to even up some notional disparity.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it and who your audience is. The spin is in the eyes of the reader or ears of the listener. The interpretation is not left to you and me and Joe Public, the interpretation is made before we get the information and all we get is tainted propeganda.
Don't let the baldies get you down.
-
Paul, I've got a cracking idea to get on to another subject and off all this controversy. Why, wait for it, why don't you have a competition, with say, a free meal for 2 at ra sellic as the prize? But maybe you could tie it in with this being the final day for season tickets?
Whadda ya think?

One minute we're slagging the bbc for spinning a story and the next minute we're picking a new manager.

If you think the media is negative now, wait until we win the league on Sunday. Monday will be MON going, Bellamy going..etc etc.

Paul,
it's so good to have someone in the conf without an agenda. You see the newsnow feeds and it's all negative.
It's a press agenda, I'm not even going to taint it by saying HUN press. It's the news media's way. They need scandal and controversy. Saying MON is staying is not news. It's not controversial, it won't sell papers.
Thankfully you sold out ;-)
Keep up the good work!
-
For a more balanced view, check out the Guardian website. No mention there of MON leaving, instead Thompson talking about trying to win the league, and MON and Thompson talking about trying to convince Bellamy to stay...
Killer quote is Thompson "I think the English Premiership has got the best chance but I know he wants to play Champions League football.
"Hopefully, we can get the job done in the next week or 10 days (League and Cup double) then maybe sit down and have a drink with him and say, 'C'mon stay here!'"
Bellamy wants to play Champions League Football... Don't think Man Utd, Arsenal or Chelsea will be going for him, so leaves us or Everton... I know where I'd rather play ;)

It was only a month ago that he came out with
"In some instances, it may sound strange, but in their effort to show they are strong - at Ibrox on a couple of occasions - they can be too fair, if that makes sense." - eh no it doesn't but carry on...
"In an effort to show they're not going to be influenced by the Rangers crowd or intimidated by Rangers players, we've had some decisions you would say were strange."

Top of the league and one game away from winning it. In the Scottish Cup Final with the potential to win the double. A Scottish Football record sponsorship deal around the corner. If this is a crisis, then I am up for a crisis every year.
With regards to the will he / won't he stories with regards to Martin. People's families are the most important thing in their lives. If he is indeed leaving for family reasons, then I wish him all the best for the future and thank him for 5 utterly fantastic years.
However, I think that it is in severe bad taste that the press, I am not including this site in this, continue to speculate with regards to Martin stepping down due to family reasons. Can they not leave the guy and his family alone.
It is not new news anymore, and to read the articles you would think that we have a major game coming up. However I am paranoid.
Over the past 2 weeks, we have been losing O'Neill, Balde, Bellamy, Petrov and Sutton. This is not paranoia, but a deep rooted conspiracy by the Scottish establishment. However it has gone on for 132 years and won't change.

Long time reader, first time poster...
McLeish claims the moral high ground after Celtic & Hearts questioned dubious refereeing decisions "We would never bring into question the integrity of the officials." We pay them good money to give us decisions and they do it, he should have added.
In response to the criticism levelled at him he said "It happened to Walter Smith as well. When he won nine in a row, he was getting slaughtered for not doing well in Europe." Hmmm, ‘Eck – one big difference you haven’t won nine in a row – you struggle to win one in a row!
BTW - do I detect a few mischevious Huns on here? Seem a lot of people giving these "MO'N is leaving stories" more credibility than the average cynical Celtic fan would...

We Cellic fans sure talk some bo""ocks!!

Cheers Rob71,
all the emotions came flooding back, even brought a tear at the end. Great day, great week actually. All inclusive in portugal and headed to Sevilla on the day. Unbelievable. Had to laugh at the cathedral when a wee tour guide had to hold up her clip board for people on her tour to try and follow because of the thousands of celtic fans there.
I've always said I would like to go back and see Sevilla when it wasn't a see of green and white. I'm sure it would be nice, but that day will live with me forever.
I think I'll go and watch the DVD.

Shame about the 'dark side' infiltrators although we all knew it was inevitable.
Don't know about others but I still can't bring myself to watch the Seville game again - its too painful. I think if I don't watch it I'll still believe we can win it. Great post Rob71. I'v been on that CelticAction site for the last hour. Brought back great memories of Love St. in '86 - That 3rd goal is still my favourite ever Celtic goal.

dialupcelt-cheers for the definition. not sure it applies to our lot though!!
It's great to see loads of new faces on here as well as the usual regulars. The site has opened up no doubt both due to the continued high standard and manner of debate and Paul's coup on the Press Conference front.
The printed media WILL make themselves an irrelevance to tens of thousands of us if they continue the way they are. The internet started for like minded people sharing ideas and debate. That ethos is still visible on this site.
To echo lots of recent sentiments Paul-KUTGW. My new home page-sacked the BBC!!!

Big Joe, Says……
Paul, what are you so excited about??????
Please tell us ????

Lots of comments, good and bad, about Martin O'Neill's response to the question "Will you be here next week / month / season?" My take on it - he has always been consistently non-committal. Why? Because if, the first time he was asked it, he said yes, then there would come a time, inevitably, when asked he would have to tell the truth and say no or lie and say yes. The man, in my opinion, has too much integrity to do either of those things. The first might damage the clud, the second would damage his reputation anfd more importantly his self respect.
Incidentally, I have it on good authority that the man himself not only reads this site, but also contributes to it. I think there should be a prize for the person who successfully outs him. My vote goes to RAB1888 for his 2.44 comment.
Anybody know where I can watch the game on Sunday in Chennai (that's Madras to all those people with years earlier than 1990 in their usernames).
