Scott Brown not the only one worried about manager

1266

Scott Brown was not the only one was briefly worried about Neil Lennon’s position in recent months.  Neil has never particularly hidden his desire to work in England one day but when it became evident that there would be a few seats available in the English top flight, with the Everton job in particular becoming available, I am sure there were a few nervous twitches.

As and when Neil decides he is going to move on, Celtic will want to have a plan for succession in place, if not entirely executed.  In May, when Neil was fielding questions about moving on, I doubt any succession planning had taken place.  Some at the club would have been looking forward to a summer break and some player trading.  The prospect of finding a new manager, with all the inherent consequences for trading, preseason planning and Champions League qualification, would have caused mild panic.

Always be prepared.

How is your 1254125 work coming along?  Not started yet?  Today, Tom Conniffe completes his 125 mile walk along the Leeds-Liverpool canal.  Go look and see how well his fundraising has gone (and get involved if you can).

    Since you and your brother told him your too sexy for your shirt. .. hes always been jealous

  3. the sorrowful mystery growing up between 1970 and 1998 was why great Spanish players , which should have been great Spanish teams, never won anything.

     

     

    the last 15 years or so, they became maybe the greatest team ever,

     

     

    tongith maybe the baton passed on.

     

     

    great watch though.

    Why is it that this blog is inhabited by those that suspect conspiracies at every turn

     

    Brazil the better football team on the night

     

    Do you really think that FIFA are going to fix a game to appease a few socialists who are always looking for something for nothing

  19. way off topic, but while we are in clydebank,

     

     

    there is a football pitch near dalmuir, might have been called the copry , i played on it a few times many years ago, it had the stepped up flat roofed houses , typically hard environment to go play, but dont remeber getting beat there.

     

     

    was there couple of months ago, and the houses are pulled down, antonie won, on what the locals said was a “hampden size pitch”.

     

     

    there is a very art deco or maybe 40s construction as changing rooms ,

     

     

    so whats it called, and whats the story.
