There’s something I’ve never been able to figure out for the last nine years. When Gordon Strachan was announced as Celtic manager, on 1st June 2014, he apologised to the media for bumping their calls the previous week, as he was due to takeover on that date, and the announcement was embargoed until then.
No idea why the news was embargoed, but it was. Tomorrow’s the 1st June. If the same rules hold true now as when Gordon Strachan was appointed, there was little chance of an appointment in late May.
If you’re not going to the CQN 10-in-a-row Charity Golf day on 4 July the Sean’s Trust Charity Dinner is on the same night at the Fullarton Suits, Glasgow. Sean’s Trust is run by the late St John Doyle’s partner, Linda. If you’d like to attend let Lennybhoy know, lennybhoycfc@gmail.com
Let me know if you would like to attend the CQN Question and Answer evening at the Manor Club, Wimbledon, on 21 June, with a confirmed line-up of Lisbon Lion, John Hughes, and our own Brogan Rogan and Auldheid, celticquicknews@gmail.com

Groves still getting treatment
Burghbhoy
I quite enjoyed listening to the fight on the wireless
When I say wireless … It’s actually the tv with the digital radio on it :)

Morning All
Tea an square slice rolls done, so probably heading out to the delights of the Drymen Show for overpriced beer and hotdogs later.
I don’t think Keano is the man but if Dermot says he is then it will be him.
Who knows what will be will be.
Hebcelt — I have lost your phone number but the black pudding etc arrived safely in London.
EDB — I need your number too as I have been working on that wee project that you gave me to look into.
Beyonce, Kate Moss, Agnetha Faltskog, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz, Halle Berry — if you all want to give me a call too that would be grand!
Malorbhoy— If you call I have gone out!

BRTH
You are awful,But I like you. LOL
Well done Carl,what a shot!!!
Ryecatcher, it’s allowed, time, again, will tell.
Better candidates than Roy Keane
Roberto Di Matteo
Gordon Strachan
David Moyes
Dan Petrescu
Nigel Adkins
Stuart McCall (yes he is)
Nigel Pearson
Steve Clarke
Morten Weighorst
Neil Lennon (how much more will Keane get in wages?)
Total vanity. Dermots promoting his own business with this appointment. I’m the owner of Celtic don’t you know.
What a punch that was by Froch
That was some punch. Not a boxing fan,but wow,that was a work of art.
Looked like Groves was getting on top, and then!!!!!
Nakasammi –
There is simply no possibility of any club, not even Celtic, foisting an assistant on a manager that the manager doesn’t want.
The manager usually chooses his own assistant, but even if the board were to come up with a name, they would ask for the manager’s approval before taking it further. It would be utter madness to force an unwanted assistant on a manager. It just wouldn’t happen.
Too ridiculous for words mate.
GCT
You sound like you are pished now, cos I don’t have a clue what you are talking about, par for the course.

Hope Carl chucks it after his, he’s made
a few bob….get out when the going’s good.

Nakasammi – sorry, I don’t believe that for one minute. You really think that RK would agree to being No. 2 to a young manager like Lenny?!
Maybe the shrewd billionaire DD knew what Neil’s reaction would be :-)
Roy, Neil’s resigned do want to be our new manager:-)
All conjecture but the truth is out there somehwhere
Doc
As I posted that information was what I received and I’m simply using this blog to add to the debate.
I am extremely disappointed Neil left in the manner he did and I still believe something major must have taken place for him to quit
Nakasammi, sharing info, appreciated.
Tbj
Brilliant listening on the wireless bud.
The commentators just seem like genuine enthusiasts and knowledgeable with it .
Just magic .
Wd like to be a fly on the wall when Roy meets Ogilvie!!
barbecue over.Who won the fight??
Tommytwistsandturns…..
Nope…….Lenny’s reputation is not as high as it maybe should be in Englandshire……
I can only judge on football fans I talk to and socialise with…..
They see the win over Barca as a one off and against a team that had peaked maybe 18 months previous to this.
He will probably get a gig a top half Championship side before anyone in EPL will take a punt on him.
Celtic’s reputation down here was not enhanced after the season just gone……Maybe the opposite………CL performance would have been regarded as embarrassing for a big club.
Barca 6-1 game was bad but my personal nightmare was v Ajax in Amsterdam…..Horrific performance against a very poor side.Lenny’s tactics were suspect sometimes but felt sorry for him that night considering Lawell left him up Shit Creek without a paddle in the transfer window.
The warning signs were there in Karagandy…….
TET –
It’s 8am here. Stone cold sober me.
I was referring to your comment, “I wanted a foreign coach, but Desmondo has other plans.”
An Irish coach is a foreign coach. No?
Nye Bevan
He proposed to his partner.
TBJ Happy Birthday, may all your good wishes come true.
Nakasammi, I don’t know why Neil left but I don’t think it was anything to do with budgets I just think he felt like a change of environment, somewhere without beatings bombs and bullets, like I said earlier if he waited on the Darnell coming and then gone all this negative speculation would be 10 times worse.
This was the best time for him to go without a shadow of doubt.
Hail Hail.
Got a great pic on VIP BOX for nowt.
If NL new he was leaving before our last game why not let the fans know ?
He deserved a send off for what he done for us , and put up with shit from every angle ….

Do you know that, in Englandshire,the Englanders really believe that Engurland have a good chance of winning the World Cup?
I kid you not.
HH.
Goodnight Timland.
Ryecatcher….right now, what would be the best club RK could even hope to get in the EPL?
I think he would be lucky to get the West Brom job!

Happy birthday bud. How many connels were on the cake??
Does anyone think that Sleekit McCoist will whisper into Roy Keane’s ear
a) if Keano is appointed as Feltic manager, and
b) if the Zombies ever get back to the top division in Scotland (assuming, of course, that we haven’t already left for newer climes).
Roy Keane and John Collins……..
NOW YER TALKING…….
Reckon we would still win SPFL if they pulled on their Adidas Predators for half the season too.
Imagine how dead the dead Huns would be 2 years from now with that pair in charge.
Feltic (feck me) can’t even blame the iPad! I think I’ve been taken suddenly drunk!
Celtic – of course!
Rye catcher, Keane ticks none of the boxes for Celtic manager.
Successful track record? Took Sunderland up spending 10 s of millions in the process. Then things turned sour and he walked. Ipswich was a complete and utter disaster. He had them at 19 in the championship.
European record. None
Good track record with bringing in low value players and making huge profits? No evidence of this in fact he wasted pots of cash.
Good with press? Debatable. Ok in England but wait till he starts on this village.
Good track record with managing players? None. The Sinderland players celebrated when he left.
I imagine he will have direct line to Dermot. He will not suffer any crap and will demand more money to spend. The evidence is there he will not spend it wisely. I do hope Dermot is indemnifying the potential loses.
TBJ, many happy returns mate. I hope you have a good one.
Tosb
I think he would get the same reaction that Di-Canio gave I Ferguson of Rangers !!
Lubomir Moravcik, I always thought would be an outstanding football manager.
16 roads…
Funnily enough for the first time in my memory I find the England chaps to be more realistic about their World Cup chances. Can’t find anyone chunterring about winning it.
Mind you there’s still two weeks to go so maybe they’ll yet work themselves into their more usual frothing frenzy lol.
