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

Gerry (Irish Tosh) McNee.
He can get to as well
Sftb,
And a good one at that. :)
Just a thought how would Georgios have got on with RK as his manager ???
A marraige made in hell – I think – and I am not sure who I would support in that senario

Why have most of todays most successful Managers not had top, if any,playing careers?No ego, nothing to prove?
MWD-True :}
67 ECW
Oh,how I agree!
The most frustrating player,probably,since Tommy Callaghan,who could start a fight in an empty house,never mind a supporters bus.
I wish him well,though. As of course,I wish TC.
67ECW-I will post my conspiracy theory on RK/ Sammi,when new article is posted,in 7 minutes time.

Ancelotti, Guardiola, Simeone, Blanc, Conte, De Boer to name a few would suggest otherwise
GARY67 1222
Which De Boer?
The one who missed a penalty-good guy,haha!-or the other one?
PL and RK…..well that would be interesting.
Id say, that DD would have had to make a few promises to RK.
I just cannot see RK putting up with PL.
So…for that reason…I cant see RK being the new manager
DD&PL want someone they can control….I cant see RK being happy about that.
Cue….Owen Coyle.

A more pertinent question is ‘Why is it that the very best managers were mediocre players?’
ERNIE LYNCH
Brian Clough?
Johann Cruyff
ERNIE LYNCH
Apart from Cloughie and one or two others previously mentioned,your point is fairly accurate.
Maybe nobody passed to them-which have them the chance to watch the game unfold.
Though that would mean keepers would be star managers!
I would be so happy if the new managers favourite colour was pink although that said lemon is acceptable too.
MWD says Aye
Why is it that managers do not wear dresses in the dug out?
MWD says Aye
MWD
I don’t think colour should come into it. Disappointed in you,bud!
MWD- our new manager thinks we’re better thigither.
Brian Clough was an exceptional player,youngest Englishman to score 200 league goals i’m sure……
SFTB
My recollection was it was WGS persistence in playing Jan Venegoor when he was struggling to recover from an injury that played a big part ie no goals.
Where McGeady came into it in my view is that the formation that WGS played in the LC Final in Veneegoor’s absence and McGeady free is one WGS should have persevered with. We won that game more comfortably than the scoreline suggests.
If we ever get WGS on CQN I would ask him why he did not persevere with the LC formation and line up.
I’m not sure Clough was as brilliant a player as he reckoned he was.

that has to be the most inconsiderate comment I have had the displeasure to read on here. A personal colourless attack I tells yeez. :(
I’m grassing you up to the boss!

The curious significance of 1 June.
On 2 June.
Ernie-touche’
The Betfair market is now loudly saying that RK will not be the Celtic manager.
Now slight odds against, with virtually no takers.
New Article seems late today…
Are we waiting for something?
Taking CQN back to January 65.
Rumours are that the Hibs manager Jock Stein is to be offered the managers post at Celtic.
He was offered assistant job with Sean Fallon as manager but refused.
How will Sean react to that?
He was a decent player for us and has done alright with The Pars and Hibees. Only one Cup win.
Taking a risk especially as he is not a Celtic man.
Can put your minds at ease.
Owen Coyle seen 5 mins ago going into Celtic Park. :thumbsup:

You got previous ?
Twittersphere saying Ice cream and Jelly Day (3), coming on 26th June! “Reliable source” apparently.

Aye. I save every post of yours and forward to the boss every hour of every day. It’s a service to Queen and country don’t you know.
MWD says Aye while TD67 has his heid stuck in his own large intestine licking the inner lining

Your slip is showing moonbeams, mind the grass.

Just my usual feeble jest,old bean!
Glad I wasn’t around at 1712 yesterday though. Reading back,a post then really p’d me off.
Casual racism-which I don’t think for one second was intended as such-but still and all.
Heyho…

What would be the managerial equivalent of ending a drought with a sclaffed shin swipe?
That was back in the day when Celtic players were men’s men – except for when they got locked in the car at training…
