There is a striking symmetry in the English Premier League. None of the 10 clubs in the top half has an English manager, whereas only two clubs in the bottom half of the table have non-English managers. For all its apparent self-importance, the English game is keen to learn from Europe.
The likes of Sam Allardyce, Steve Bruce and Roy Hodgson are still getting a gig, although I cannot understand why. Graham Potter took over at Premiership Brighton two years ago and has kept them there since. Sean Dyche also keeps Burnley away from the trapdoor.
The England national team has a native manager, although one who took over at top flight Middlesbrough before changing their status to a Championship club., his only prior managerial experience. The top English manager today is sitting at home on the south coast waiting for his next appointment.
News leaked that Eddie Howe spoke to Celtic four weeks ago. A week later his agent sent out the clarion call to prospective employers. Newcastle, Southampton and Crystal Palace will all remain in the top flight and could replace their manager, Everton, who Howe supports, may lose Carlo Ancelotti, despite his £12m salary.
You know the script, players, agents and even managers talk-the-talk but if they have a pen in their hand and are about to sign your contract when get a text message from a club paying £12m-a-year, they will want to check a few details over.
I know the managerial appointment is taking longer than Celtic wanted. “The clock is ticking” for a club with enormous rebuilding plans ahead. A desire to make the right appointment will soon conflict with a desire to make the appointment at a time that allows the new manager to make a success of the job.
The month of May is a hard deadline, candidates have been told it’s time to get off the pot. No deal is done, but there will hopefully not be long to wait.

heh Tet good to see you on k hope all goes ok
you both are in my thoughts and prayers.
re the manager,i just want it done but acknowledge contractual cessation and complexities have to end before a contract starts with us( see bada earlier) i hope its Howe.

Thanks
I would be well happy with Howe, been listening to SSN and McGowan seems sure it’s Howe, I am not so sure, if you put a gun to my head I would say we already have him in place, beat the hun at the weekend we will see.

Good news!
Best wishes to you and yours!
TET – What they all said☝️

A quite extraordinary level of skill on display in the PSH – Man City game. Two superb teams.
PSG DUH!
TET-good stuff 👍
Please no psg
An extraordinary equalizer by City.
Wiz it?
Two fluke goals give Manc 2:1 lead
2-1 CITEH
That red card wouldn’t even be a yellow if it was the Huns in our league
Cheers bhoys, seriously appreciated.
I have a few bob on a draw in Paris the night, come on PSG FFS :)
Gundogan suffers a bad foul. Man City players surround ref, protesting loud and long. PSG player receives deserved red card. I’m not saying the result would be the same when Celtic players are subject to outrageous results, but why on earth do we accept it meekly? At least let the cheating MIB know you are on to them. The more publicity we generate on these assaults, the harder it will be for the MIB to sanction them
PRESTONPANS BHOY.
Respectfully, the second wasn’t a fluke. Mahrez and Bruyne practice these ad nauseam.

Agreed mate.
foden should have scored there

PHILBHOY,
“Nothing to do with his colour”
I despair :-(
if psg keep it at this 2-1 its still game on

Just spent another few bob on a ISP blocker, the other one I had was pyoor pish, anyways, it’s not compatible with the operating system I have and they won’t refund me, even tho they except that it says it should work on their add, hunbelievable, but I will get my money back via PP, the reason I bought it was that Spain has gone gung ho in their quest in going after illegal streams, if only they were so vigilant when it comes to their own government, if anyone in Spain has access to one I would really appreciate a link that works, everything I have tried doesn’t, I canny get Sky, not that I would, so am sorta stuck really, but it really is a bit of a bonus, the footy is crap just now, I can still get our away games on the betting site with no sound so that in itself is a plus.
That semi-final was a classic example of a game of two half’s.
Watched a wee bit of PSG game. Have to say how impressive Be Bruyne is – such a talent, but works so hard. Same thing as Da Silva – sublime skill, but back blocking attacks. Please, please somebody tell Celtic lads before Sunday – leave it all on the pitch! Must win game. The Biggest Derby in years (in light of all that happened this year) COYBIG!

would agree with that too.
thought it changed after mbappe cross needin verrati touch.
the citeh grind worked.
psg could sustain concentration/gettin out from citeh press.
the equalizer nutted psg and they reverted to what they do when stuff dont come off
as you say if osg play like in first half its game on.think citeh will go thro.a good game to watch as a neutral.
