Recruitment requirement begins to look urgent

200

When we discussed Martin O’Neill’s appointment, I made the point that retaining Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham was an important part of the story.  We are now at the stage of the recruitment cycle where I would be prepared to accept almost anyone in these roles.

If you don’t have a goalkeeper, you can wait until an hour before kick-off before your first game of the season before signing onw.  That’s a tad ridiculous, but very on-brand for Celtic, but if you want to have a process to put sign that goalkeeper an hour before kick-off, you need people in the building who are working on targets and deals for months.

You and I will be talking about last season for the rest of our lives.  It was the great Get out of Jail season.  Whatever advantages it bestows on next season, are not overwhelming.  We can and will be caught if we do not get recruitment right, and we will not get recruitment anything like right unless we have the relevant decision makers in the building.

If you have an appetitite to open up the objective facts on our recruiment in recent seasons, we will touch on it next week.  Bring your forensic self.

    FAVOURITE UNCLE @ 8:51 am

     

     

    Whoever said that there’s a fairytale about this club was absolutely correct.

     

     

    It’s the only possible explanation for us continuing to win trophies despite the best efforts of the board to nobble us.

     

     

    ——–

     

     

    🤣🤣👏

     

     

    Genuine Lol, FavUnc.

     

     

    Last season must have been the biggest sickened in living memory for our enemies.

     

     

    Usain shot himself in the left foot at 20m, and in his right foot at 50m …

     

     

    … and still won the 100m Gold Medal.

     

     

    🤣🤣🤣

     

     

    The others, including the blue bogeyman just can’t be that good.

     

     

    🤔🤔🤔🤔

  2. Funny how the racist mongrels i.q regresses ehen asked the meaning of “invaders out”

     

     

    Pass the time defining your own word racist mongrel

     

     

    Bring all your allegorical pash,fronted as intellect

     

     

    Behind it

     

     

    You are a grubby racist mongrel.

     

     

    And being a political eunuch you will type,maybe type more but like your Celtic input its empty.

    The digital air freshener, table, paste, brushes and rolls of cheap wallpaper will be making an appearance soon to paper over the cracks of the latest glorious meltdown.

     

     

     

    It would seem to me that a man who needs to stand on this particular platform, at this particular volume, is using the facade of a social justice warrior as a crutch to mask his own irrelevance.

  4. Try again 🙄

     

    We have made repeated representations to Police Scotland and to the SPFL to avoid this scheduling, however, un surprisingly, we have been told that there is no choice owing to Police Scotland being unWillingable to support the fixture on a weekend which co-incides with other events.

  6. Racist Mongrel

     

     

    Irrelevance is coming onto a Celtic blog and farting “invaders out”

     

     

    Racist mongrel what is an invader?

     

     

    No meltdown,just calmly pointing out you are racist scum.

     

     

    Thats a truth.

     

     

    A 100% anonymous shitebag who cant back his own words.

     

     

    Am out there and available racist mongrel,approachable at every Celtic game,never had any problems with Celtic fans

     

     

    Hidden racist snides like you are easy

     

    So quick to box and categorize

     

    But cant quite define the grubby sordid racist mongrel you are

     

     

    I think its you that is hiding as you cant explain your racism.

     

     

    Thats evident.

    Dyslexic Danny Does DEI, the one-man variety show nobody asked for, brought to you by the unshakable belief that he is the smartest person in the room.

     

     

    Some hero with Photoshop could surely render him, a clapping seal, wobbling on clownshoes the size of rowboats, flippers slapping together with the dull thud of a man who has just discovered the word “intersectionality” and thinks it’s a roundabout.

     

     

    A speech bubble, lovingly typeset in Papyrus, declares to the world: “WAYCIST, WAYCIST EVERYWHEY.”

     

     

    And behind him, sagging and triumphant, a banner reads:

    I picked Engles on the basis of the reported £25m offer from Notts Forrest.

     

     

    Taking Matt O Reilly as the comparator who was sold for £25m Ive seen nothing over Engles time at Celtic to make him worth £25m although on his return he seemed stronger but not at same level as MoR when he was sold.

     

     

    The scary thing is that EPL clubs with money to burn can make such an offer in the hope Engles value will increase as result of EPL appearances then the object of football becomes making money from trading players regardless of the true on field value the player provides.

     

     

    You do point out the differences that Celtic PLC march to the beat of their own drum and supporters to their own but reality is the metronome.
