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.

Wish i knew how to post the photo
I know it’s from the Sun but Jk being considered for sporting director, it’s still pretty unclear on how good a coach / manager he is (being benevolent ) and he’s been doing that for a few years just what qualifies him to be sporting director I don’t know. The Sun kite flying again most likely.
I demand to know who funded Ernie Lynch’s,Pseuds Corner.
I have strong suspicions,it was Unionist backers.Questions must be raised.
boo
TET.
All the best going forward.👍
Go tell the Spartim, he was being touted for that role in the frauds last season.

It showed just how much it meant to the players. And make no mistake it was no gimme. Hibs were a very good side back then, and while we did not need to win we could not afford to lose on the day. It still amazes me to this day that Celtic never won any one of our 1960s-1970s nine in a row at home, in Celtic Park, at Parkhead. And that title win really sticks in my mind, being on that huge terracing amongst fellow Bhoys, supporting the Celts. Didn’t see us win all of those titles back then or all of our more recent nine, but saw more than a few, Easter Road was one of them. Great days indeed!

nice to see you on Mick, your direct no nonsense square go carnoustie golfer type response are sorely missed by this fella.

Politics who needs them?
They’re awe the same, apart fae the party who’s story and direct policy is FEARED by the
anti-Celtic establishment and the blue masonic woke orange Scottish broadcast media who
are putting in the shift of their lives to protect maintain strengthen and super toxify
the anti-Celtic establishment who’s vomit fuelled vocabulary spewing useful idiots
are actually self proclaimed Irish Republicans who stupidly vote the same the VERY same
anti-Celtic establishment back into office and with a super majority for the ACTUAL minority
that’s right a minority govt who’ve never had as many Scots to vote for them as there
were ACTUAL Scots who voted for Brexit that’s another true story ©Big Packy you better
believe it because its true. More Scots voted for Brexit than have EVER voted for the
anti-Celtic establishment who’s MAIN AIM IS to abolish Catholic education in Scotland
and get this – The Scottish Greens & SNP will probably do what they’ve done since 2014
they’ll form a minority Scots govt between them as the ALWAYS majority unionist parties
don’t form a coalition as for them its all about self preservation despite constantly getting
round about 55% of the votes and the minority Scots govt of SNP & Scottish Greens will combine
behind the scenes under the table up the ludge whatever and Scottish Greens will demand education
REFORMATION as was illustrated on these very pages last week from a Facebook post from the
Scottish Greens meeting in Edinburgh were the Scottish Greens want “faith” schools removed
as part of any hitch up to a SNP coalition Scots govt.
So to conclude.
Scottish Greens want “faith / Catholic” schools abolished and a HARD BORDER with England and this will all be
voted into Holyrood by indy 2 seeking Irish Republicans / Celtic supporters.
Deary me.
Most on here keep their politics private, as it should be, however a sizeable few from opposing sides, (including our host) seem to view this, and any election, as a rerun of the referendum, and seem happy to use the blog to force their views on all of us…again.
I had decided not to vote next week as not one candidate or party has presented me with a policy or vision worth voting for. However, the petulant childish side of me has won over. If by casting my one (plus list) vote, it cancels out the utter nonsense posted tonight by park the bus & blooter it, then I’ll know mine was not a wasted vote….
Hairlikespaghheti! so you vote out of spite not what’s best for you or your kids! aye !!!!
THE EXILED TIM…
Great news about Mrs TET.
All the best to you both.
HH.
There are not many rules on here. Why deliberately break them ?
Is it attention seeking, is it for perceived impact or is is a weak vocabulary?
Anyway, where’s Eddie ?
HH.
You’ve got to vote ye just got to.

I see you’ve calmed doon a bit in your auld age Mick,glad I caught this before deletion :O) hh
Good morning cqn from a very crisp Garngad
No update from the Club on a new management team yet.
I suppose it’s only about 10 weeks since Lenny left.
Question: is this the longest period of time in our history that we have not had a manager in situ or went with an interim manager???
Have a good day yall.
D :)
Kev…you’ve changed…but you havent changed.. unfortunately.
I only hope the reason Eddie Howe isnt our manager yet is due to some contractual gardening leave type thingy with Bournemouth and he has signed up to be our manager from a certain date…if not the Celtic board have once again failed miserably…I hope the former theory is correct.
Good morning CQN

Just never change Mick, we like you just the way you are
Ah I see the Brit Nats are stepping up we are awash with better together soldiers sent in to bombard every site with political shoite
The UK is awash with dodgy money, awash with the Cult of dodgy politicians on the make, awash with sheer incompetence in the UK cabinet
Worst Covid death rates in Europe, PPE NHS privatisation scandal of Tory donors and friends ripping off billions of taxpayers money, whilst the bodies pile up
Highest public spending borrowing, to pay for all the Tory Scams
Trust in Brit Nat media the lowest in Europe
Poverty in the UK is systematic and tragic a UN report, over 4 million children living in poverty
The UK’s high streets being turned into financial desserts as the economic lunacy of a no-deal Brexit continues to bite, of course, the UK richest’s 1% have prospered
Spare us all the David Starkey skewed history lessons, the warped agenda-driven historical irrelevant nonsense, the cherry-picked twisted pieces of history that are used to give a false narrative
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
Manchester City played superbly in the 2nd half last night their pressing game meant PSG could barely get out of their own half which takes great fitness and organisation as well as excellent players.We used to press really effectively during Brendan Rodgers first season but it faded somewhat subsequently.

One of the red tops this morning has John Kennedy in the frame for the Sporting Director role. No actual substance to the piece (shock I know) but it’s definitely a curveball!

Not really sure why I was deleted. I never use bad language or express sectarian or racist views. Strange stuff.

Ah I get it now, it’s the non Celtic supporting Celtic supporter who appears every so often with a new moniker and who thinks he is the only true supporter in the country. Same old nonsense.
You’ll need to coordinate with JHB on the press stuff though. Are the press pro or anti independence?
You need to work that out otherwise folks may think your talking nonsense. Just who should we vote for? C’mon guys sort it out.
scullybhoy on 29th April 2021 7:20 am
I guess the British nationalists don’t like the truth, this site will soon be full of British nationalists talking to each other about the perceived benefits of the union and most of them never actually go to games!! Not a lot of season tickets in that group.

Keep On Trucking…..and staying safe.

Just calling out the trolls when they post their scare mongering lies.
I’ve never posted anything political on this site other than in response to the Unionist cabal and their sectarian attacks on the ordinary people of Scotland.
If they want a unionist only site then maybe they should be honest about it. Other than that I come here to read and talk about Celtic.
All the best.

I think it might have been my post asking what Cult JHB wants me to join – pretty fair question if the vast majority of his posts refer to the dangers of one particular cult.

Still a Bhoy safe from skelfs in his erchie, cos he never sits on the fence. 😉

Not sure where the rumor of Ancelotti leaving Everton has come from but just because they’re paying a Champions League-winning manager £12m, that doesn’t mean they’d pay Howe that. If they lose Ancelotti and employe Howe, it’d suggest they’re looking to save a few quid on their manager.
scullybhoy on 29th April 2021 8:23 am
You could well be right I have no idea. I do know that I’ve been on CQN pretty much since the start ( An infrequent poster normally I admit) and the only posts I’ve had deleted were one where I was responding to scare mongering by JHB. As far as I am aware his posts are not being deleted.
Cheers.
