The manager more valuable as bait than a coach

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The Newcastle United takeover is a depressing manifestation on many fronts but with some money behind them, ever-mediocre Steve Bruce’s time in charge may be coming to an end.  Bookmakers have installed one-win-in-nine-trophies expert, Steven Gerrard as their favourite.  I sincerely hope he remains in Glasgow.

When Brendan Rodgers left for Crisptown, Celtic received £9m in compensation, a fee that bridged some of the gap between Europa and Champions League money that season.  I expect Newco would receive the same for losing Gerrard.

Gerrard was perhaps saved from the sack when the league programme was curtailed in 2020 with boos from the Ibrox support as his team left the field to another defeat.  Since then, he, along with Callum Davidson at St Johnstone, have profited from Celtic’s collapse, although Davidson helped himself to twice as many trophies.  Faced with a functional and appropriately prepared Celtic, his teams have unerringly collapsed.

I see some speculation about Newco’s accounts this week (not far off my expectations).  When they are eventually released, few will argue they need a compensation figure in the region of £9m more than any player or coach at the club.  Gerrard is managerial bait.  Let’s hope Newcastle go for our old pal, Eddie Howe, currently third favourite.  They seem so well matched.

    Stevie Gerrard bookies favourite for one of the biggest football jobs on the planet? Nice to know the English don’t really consider the SPFL is a FARMERS LEAGUE afterall.

    Maybe a Gerrard managed teams performances in Europe are a sign of potential in a manager to be developed at a higher level?

    !!! Hugely Important Update !!!

     

     

    A Massive thanks to you all on CQN, SentinelCelts and our WhatsApp group RCQN.

     

    A real Celtic response in supporting a family deal with the devastating loss of their Dad, father in law, Grandad and one of our own in Garry Duncan.

     

    Having spoken to CRC at 4pm today,so far a Fantastic

     

    £4258

     

    Has been raised to support the family financially in dealing with their Dads passing

     

    Garry will now get a true Celtic family member memorial.

     

     

    The final donations will be added later, CRC is out for the night,so we can issue a confirmed figure later tomorrow

     

    This will be transferred to the family by Monday,allowing them to confirm the full Burial plans

     

     

    I will put up a message from the family tomorrow

     

     

    In the meantime, take a look in the mirror, you will see a true Celtic supporter looking at you

     

    And we can all join Garry at his Celebration of Life on Friday, a he is laid to rest

     

    👏👏👏👏👏

     

     

    🙏🙏🙏

     

     

    Please support if at all possible :::::

     

     

    The CQN/Sentinelcelts community, and the many friends of Garry Duncan aka Delaneys Dunky, would like to commemorate Garry’s life and friendship as well pay respect to his recent untimely passing.

     

     

    We have had many great suggestions from you on how we best commerate Garry’s life, including flowers, a memorial brick, donation to Mary’s meals and financial support for the family etc.

     

     

    Garry’s family, like so many others in our world today, is not a rich family and find their wealth is through the happiness of the family, so to have the burden of not only laying Garry to rest, but also the cost that goes with it is horrific

     

     

    Having spoken with Garry’s son Ryan, we feel it appropriate to pass any monies raised direct to the family to let them decide the best way to use it

     

     

    Anyone who wants to support the family in leaving a long lasting commemoration in honour of Garry can do so through making a donation via bank transfer to

     

     

    o Account name: Walk With Shay

     

     

    o Account number: 15326765

     

     

    o Sort code: 80-22-60

    :You can also make a donation via paypal to walkwithshay@yahoo.com

     

     

    Donations will close on Friday 8th October

     

     

    Thank you in advance for supporting Garry and his family at this very difficult time.

     

     

    🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I know 3 Liverpool supporters, top people in their organisations, all season ticket holders, clever people.

     

    They intensely dislike Gerrard the man, ”

     

     

    Did they say why they felt as they do?

  27. Almore on

    Just got this from Ryan:

     

     

    Hi Alan. Marc messaged me earlier and told me , completely blown away with the response it’ll help us so much , my sisters can’t believe it either .. our biggest fear was not being able to find the cash in time but everyone has been amazing with us .. also looking forward to the game on Tuesday managed to get my sisters and niece a ticket all beside each other they’re all buzzin.

    I’m watching a Netflix documentary called “Bad Sports”

     

    It’s about various sports corrupted by money. I’m watching the episode regarding Juventus, but it’s more about the refereeing fraternity known as the “The Roman Posse” who did the bidding of the Juventus owners.

     

    They were “influencing” football matches at the highest level

     

    The similarities to Scottish Football are incredible.

     

    Roman Posse……Lanarkshire Posse

     

     

    Italian prosecutor says the referees can shape the outcome of a game, or even an entire football season.

     

    Juventus, (Rangers) we’re owned by the richest business owner in Italy (Scotland)

     

     

    You get my drift

     

     

    It’s a must watch and similarities are uncanny

  31. petec on

    Norrie/Almore,

     

     

    Thanks for the updates, I still cannae believe Garry has went to see our Father already.

     

     

    Thank You CRC for sorting things financially.

     

     

    I’ve found the Green t-shirt I wore when me and G-Thang walked along the scarey Belfast street together – it isnae looking the best and has a few Danny McGrains on it.

    Can’t believe what I’m watching. An honest ref banished on the say so of a Juventus official cos he gave a decision against them. I’m thinking Collum at this point. Programme saying all other refs influenced by this and now favouring Juve in case they are demoted

  34. CardboardCSC on

    31003. Watched it today, couldn’t help but think the same thing 😲

     

    If Stevie goes to the toon will he come in with a 100 million bid for fat Alfie 😂

    I’ve always grudgingly gone along with the “honest mistake” explanation.

     

    Until I watched this summers WOrld CUp when I realised that we are in fact being cheated on a weekly basis!

     

     

    So far this season, after 7 games, there’s been 7 or 8 mistakes that have either gone against us or gone for them!

     

     

    Its a charade!

    Billybhoy, Cardboard

     

     

    Juve we’re telling refs association to yellow card opposition in games not involving Juve to weaken teams when they played them

     

    Last week Celtic 65% possession, 27 fouls, opposition, 35% possession, 11 fouls. It’s staring us right in the face

  42. CardboardCSC on

    31003, Moggia was involved with Juventus when they were awarded the dodgy pen against us in 2001?
