Appointing a manager is always a stressful time. Being left to get on with business away from scrutiny is rare, so it is ideal when all scrutiny falls on one particular candidate, leaving you free to meet and discuss plans with others.
You can be absolutely sure Celtic are speaking to more than one candidate, no decisions have been made and the ball is still in play. Meetings that are in the public domain are nothing more than that, many more have not made it into the newspapers.

Days after the window shut, Rodgers was gushing in his praise of the Hoops hierarchy for their dealings.
He said: “Today I have to say a big thank you to Dermot, Peter and the board at Celtic.
“January was going to be an important month for us and everything I asked for I was able to get.
“In terms of experience, quality and players we think we can develop, they delivered everything I wanted so it’s a great credit to them and our recruitment team.”
St Brendy January 2018
whos signing Odin Thiago Holm…… Knutsen? both are Norwegian.

On that basis if it’s Brendan we must be after Lafferty 🤭
Connaire:
I have. Many a time. Not so often now but it’s been a sad occasion when we generally do meet of late, por cierto.

Who or what is Lindsell Train Ltd.?

A equity fund management company so they have invested in Celtic purely for profit.

Maybe Michael Nicolson and Chris McKay have the final decision on the nominations put forward from both DD and Lawwell camps – after interviewing all candidates?
————-
It should have nothing do with Peter Lawwell. He is a non executive director. He should have no involvement in executive matters or day to day running of the company.
————-
Of course PL is going to be involved, even in a non executive chairman role. Isn’t Mark Lawwell not the head of recruitment and scouting these days and rumoured to be de facto Director of Football?
I am no fan of Peter Lawwell, the appointment of Neil Lennon from a procession based coach in Rodgers to the Lennyball chaos of Lennon made no sense whatsoever.
But I am with Paul67 on this one. We need a head coach that fits into Celtic’s current style of play and recruitment strategy to build upon Ange’s rein. Not BR’s ‘all about me’ approach.

We are going from one egotist to another. The God-like leader who will de facto run the shop until the day they go, leaving us scrambling.
We need to upgrade that thinking at some point. Very old fashioned.

Who signed the Norwegian boy?
————-
I have asked the same question?
We don’t have a manager, HK, JK and GS are unsure of their status.
So who did sign this deal ?
We have just lost circa £4.5 m on Barkas and will probably lose the same on Ajeti which more than wipes anything we got for Ange.
Do we have money to burn ?
HH.
The way I see this as a PLC then the decision on the managers is taken by the board on a majority vote however it can depend on a share count of the voting shares. Desmond is the largest shareholder and a significant amount of institutions vote with Desmond usually giving his side the majority. In normal times he calls all the major decisions like the manager. Ange told us about his phone call from Desmond.
Now Peter Lawwell is no longer the CEO and Nicolson and McKay as the Executives have to prepare a report for the PLC Board to consider and vote on. That is why they were in Majorca to interview Rodgers.
Peter Lawwell in has no role in Interviewing anyone. He is in Istanbul to rub shoulders with UEFA and ECA people. He will not be Interviewing Maresca or anyone else.

‘Camps’
As in 2 opposing camps.not so.your division is not there.
DD says go do and PL does,
Look at the shareholding base.

That would be why Lawwell was “waxing” lyrical about Neil Lennon
*while DD was saying we had unfinished business with him (NL) as he always was a WIP, oh and the sharp suited mhan also had to report to Tom Allison and whoever was Chairman before he even got anywhere near the Kaiser

* a Lenny signing who Ange did us a favour on binning him and followed up with the gene tunney fae Spurs that paid him off, so no real loss then it all evened out

Sky telling us Rodgers is considering all of his options after talking to Celtic.

Have we signed `the Norwegian boy` ?
Thanks for the information on the second biggest shareholder
Watched a hilarious 3 stooges movie on utube last night Shemp got the frighteners when the other two tried to get him married but really enjoying some of the humour on here today. Excellent.
The Norwegian boy Odin Holm was in the Gaurdians Next Generation 2000, being the best young footballers in the world. He will be a decent buy if we get him. I hope Knutsen is behind this.
Aw naw er anurra wan.
I’m wide awake now !!!!!!
Rodgers currently “on the verge………’
“We need new supporters-preferably with steel balls”
I wonder if Iron Balls McGinty is still around here.

Kev J..
I’m glad you didn’t swear.
Subsequently there is no valid reason to remove your post and you do make some valid points.
We don’t know, but did the missing £600,000÷ go towards “loans” to football clubs with the exception of Celtic. The huns getting the lions share.
What we do know is that the government hierarchy have been arrested on finance irregularities. Fraud in layman’s terms.
They called us into stupid summits, they kettled and jailed our supporters in dawn raids with draconian rulings. They want to impose strict liability on football.
Who in their right mind would listen to these pillars of society.

Predictive text is a bugger. It should have left it as“pillocks of society”.😃
Speaking of predictive text, Just noticed Paul’s headline refers to “pubic scrutiny”.
Very clever headline or just a balls up?
Or has my phone been hacked?
Who would win a fight between navel gazing and pubic scrutiny?
Re £600k.
In my line of work, we hold cash from customers in reserve for future maintenance on our assets. We use this cash before our own equity or debt as we have ‘co-mingling’ clauses in our contracts. We then hold a liability for these payments in our accounts. The customer has to satisfy themselves that we are good for it through due diligence before they sign up.
Pretty sure the cash for the ref was not co-mingled through any legal contract but the SNP did say they were liable for it. Maybe the issue is the lack of paperwork and relevant liabilities on the balance sheet.
Auditors should have sorted this as this is not a complex company structure. The signatories should ahve queried the accounts as well.
I sign off accounts as a director of about 25 Irish and Bermudan companies (I know!). If i see something I don’t understand at a board meeting, I’ll ask but generally you have to trust the Finance guys as there is no way i can dig into the data, especially with the very complex structures we have – tax efficient. ahem
If anything was dodgy in the figures, I am personally liable as I signed off. Same for Sturgeon et al. Doesn’t necessarily mean they did anything deliberately wrong. Seems bleeding obvious how to deal with the 600k however
PS my board meetings are Teams calls and i don’t get to go to Bermuda or get paid extra. Feck knows why i agreed to it
Mark Pirie – Daily Record
Celtic striker Daizen Maeda has heaped praise on Ange Postecoglou – and admits his former boss has left him dreaming of a “higher stage”.
The 25-year-old worked with the Australian during his time at Yokohama F Marinos before he brought Maeda to the club on an initial six-month loan in January 2022, which would then be made permanent the following summer. The Japan international has enjoyed a glittering career since making the move to the Scottish Premiership playing a key part in Celtic lifting four of the give trophies Postecoglou claimed during his tenure.
However, Maeda will now have to become accustomed to a new boss after Postecoglou accepted Spurs’ four-year offer to manage in the Premier League with Brendan Rodgers leading the race to take over the hot seat. The Celtic star confessed that the influence of Postecoglou on his career has left him believing he could go continue his progression to another level in
Asked about his now-former boss by Japanese outlet Daily, he said: “I think he is a great person and I think I can play on a higher stage because of what he has built up as a manager. I want to do my best to be as good as him.”
You only have to read it to know that the churno is adding his own context. I would love to hear the actual interview translation as this reads like the hack of all hack jobs
Predictive text never werks
Need to wait until someone ‘jets in’ remember…
Paul67,
