Fiasco at Celtic

458

Early in the summer I said that to re-sign Kelechi Ineanacho would be an admission of failure that we were unable to scout a player better than one who was unable to compete for 90 minutes last term.

Then we were told the manager wanted him, while hearing that it was difficult to recruit players to Scotland (which is true). Kelechi was invited back, presumably because those privy to inside info on our recruitment plans believed he was better than our alternatives.

Celtic had an option to retain the player for next season, allowed it to lapse, provided Kelechi’s agent with a ‘Player in demand’ opportunity and saw him sign for Turkish side Bursaspor. Meanwhile, there is not a whisper from Celtic. Genuine incredulity among the fans is unanswered, I can only assume because explaining would not make things more palatable.

We will speak more about the direction of the club before the start of the season, but there is plenty to be alarmed about.

  1. Quadrophenian @ 4:07 pm,

     

     

    “Anyone seeing what new formational or stylistic change MON and crew have introduced ?

     

     

    We have gone back to playing a 4-2-3-1

     

    Which I think suits the team better, we don’t have the players for 4-3-3.

     

     

    Could see we were trying some set play stuff – not really coming off but early days.

     

     

    Vale Bhoy @ 6:42 pm,

     

     

    Spot on…

     

     

    Where was the unity when they were incesscently having a go at our manager and our teams performance over BR&Cos second tenure…

     

     

    Open season on a quality Celtic manager who is top drawer and his team who were performing above and beyond.

     

     

    Serious allegations levelled at him that were just lies – these are the Board groupies that have brought our club to it’s knees and think it’s fun to take the p¡$$.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    He’s getting gobby again, maybe Bada should have a word. It kept him quiet for almost three weeks in his secure bunker last time.

  5. Interesting how Martin O’Neill tells us after the match Saracchi was never really an option.

     

     

    Then the erstwhile ITK guy tells us he won’t be surprised to see him next week…

     

     

    Something tells me their puppet master has gone…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. Timmy7_noted @ 7:10 pm,

     

     

    Truth – dutch courage brigada back in action…

     

     

    Many of us like a wee drink – but if you can’t handle it, stay off it would be my advise…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  7. The Blogger Formerly Known As GM on

    Was that Martin “part of the problem” O’Neill, as in the Celtic manager?

    I enjoy a wee drink. And you never bought a round at Royal Birkdale. Oops sorry that was oor complimentary. 😁👍

  10. My opinion only, but I think Martin should walk, he’s been shafted.

     

    Second point, if we can get our money back on Engels, I’d jump at it, the sizzle without the steak

     

     

    pissed off

    We all want the best for Celtic.

     

     

    The board want the best for themselves, that’s the difference…

    There’s a whack of these ‘Bhoys’ who come on here and don’t even have a ST but criticised the support!

  13. like a dog chasing cars..... on

    I didny know that MO’N could speak Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Uruguayan, Egyptian, Colombian, etc.

     

    No wonder auld MO’N has resorted to bringing the young ‘local’ bhoys through the Parkhead gates, the real Celtic Way.

     

    The Lisbon Lion’s didny need the league of nations haunders to become “lion’s” in the 1st place.

     

    In today’s fkd up world this post will be grassed and snitched as being ‘racist’ for promoting locals.

     

    What a time to be alive!

    Then ReadCelts run by Eric Knott and part of The Trinity Tims podcast with Joe McHugh and James Forrest pick up on MoN leaving Villa part in JH article and continue what the original article did which was to undermine trust in MoN and turn the support against him, which was why I challenged his article.

     

     

    What motivates these people to do that?

     

     

    Fecking money from click bait and they have the hypocrisy to accuse MoN of the very behaviour they are guilty off themselves.

     

     

    ———-

     

     

    Some bloggers genuinely wish Celtic well. The mob you mention are just repackaged SMSM. Negativity always – it gets the clicks. Run the club down endlessly. And they know nothing about football, but hey ho, beats working in a call centre, which is the alternative I assume.

    You got something against people that work in a call centre?

    “There’s a whack of these ‘Bhoys’ who come on here and don’t even have a ST but criticised the support!”

     

    ^^

     

    There is no support – there is only sheeple who finance the PLC.

     

    53,000 sheeple sitting their fat erchies on a plastic seat and not singing in support of the team are not supporters.

     

    They are customers who consume the PLC product.

     

    Its a trap and you’ve been caught.

  18. Bigrailroadblues @ 7:23 pm,

    It wasn’t only that the huns supporters who turned their backs on their own club when it needed them most but the ones who refused, blindly, to see the warning signs.

     

     

    Refused to see the signs.

     

     

    All you happy board supporters are doing just that.

     

     

    Refusing to see the signs of how badly mismanaged we are.

     

     

    You can take credit for the continuing, downward spiraling fiasco.

     

     

    ————–

     

     

    We seem to be mismanaged the other way

     

     

    The huns spent money they didnt have to win leagues

     

     

    We try not to spend money to win leagues

  21. Bursaspurs average wage is between 9000 to 11 000 . for all players.

     

    The 47000 ,doing the rounds, is for the feeble minded, gullible idiots.

  22. clunks

     

     

    You’re correct.

     

     

    But, we’re still criminally mismanaged with no football department.

     

     

    The fans have already let Desmond and the board know what they think.

     

     

    The board don’t give a feck.

     

     

    The happy, board lovers are a hindrance to progress.

     

     

    It ends in tears for the team and the supporters but the board take their inflated salaries and do as Desmond tells them.

     

     

    Can the board supporters tell us what the structure of our football operations is?

    You do know that I kept the Leander Club, Henley from bankruptcy singled handed? A helluva thing living in Govanhill and no marks looking down their snib at you.

  26. vale bhoy

     

     

    Yeah, we are mismanaged

     

     

    We seem to be set up as a wannabe media and clothing business

     

     

    I just cant understand having a billionaire being the leading shareholder happy to have no infastructure at the club for scouting or playing personnel. Never mind a weak corporate structure

     

     

    Yes we have done very, very well

     

     

    Football runs in cycles

     

     

    If we dont pull our finger out of our proverbial this winning cycle is coming to a close

     

     

    Thats why the fans are raging

     

     

    We have the FSR wiggle room, by a good bit

     

     

    Especially when we sell Engles, Daizen, Hatate and possibly one or 2 others

     

     

    We really need to get this transfer window right

     

     

    Make some good signings

     

     

    Then sort our corporate structure over the course of the season

    name 1, just 1 person on here who wants celtic to lose/implode/whatever instead of repeatedly spouting pish.

    Spot on clunks. Celtic must come up with the transfers in the next 4 weeks and rebuild the corporate structure from the inside out. Big challenges. We will have to pay a premium to get premier players to come to us.

  31. BRRB @ 7:57 pm,

     

     

    Do you know that Henley snubbed Grace Kelly’s father – Jack Kelly sr…

     

     

    So your in good company:))
