There appears to be nothing more than a desire to move-on behind Johan Mjallby’s decision to leave Celtic at the end of the season but it leaves the original four man coaching team of Neil Lennon, Alan Thompson, Mjallby and Garry Parker reduced down to two. The management team needs to be rebuilt.
Assistants do more than just put the cones out and get players go through their paces. They are an extra pair of eyes and ears, at the side of the field and in the dressing room. When they are most effective, they are a source of learning, bringing improved techniques and ideas into the club, forcing the manager to reconsider established practices.
Strip some of the greats of their productive partners and they proved to be prosaic underachievers; Cough without Taylor was a sorry sight. By contrast, Ferguson played the assistants’ game perfectly, swapping them every few years to enhance his stock with fresh flavour.
Alan Thompson was not directly replaced but irrespective of the speculation which constantly surrounds the club, a wind of change will blow through Lennoxtown this summer, filling the gaps in the original four man team.
If you’ve wondered about getting involved with some of the charity events surrounding the club there is a perfect opportunity coming up. The Foundation is having a badge day at the Dundee United game on Sunday 11 May. This is an important opportunity to anchor the ethos of the club to its roots by engaging thousands of Celtic fans in the simple act of buying a badge for charity.
All monies raised will go towards supporting those afflicted by homelessness in the Glasgow area. I volunteered to help on the day and offered to put the word around, over 100 bucketeers are needed. If you want to help, all you’ll need to do is turn up early for the game, wear a hi-vis vest and hold a bucket, but I can assure you, you’ll enjoy it. Email the foundation with your name and phone number: cfcfvolunteer@celticfc.co.uk .

Buchanan and Glassford?
Can you enlighten me.
Much of glasgow’s finest architecture and most prominent families of yore owned their fame and fortune to cotton and tobacco production from the Deep South and sugar from the Caribbean, all of which was dependant on slave labour.
Scotland’s Shame MkI.

Thanks,James.
Interesting to think that the same might in future be said of today`s Western generation which buys garments made in overseas “sweatshops.”
Regarding imperialism and slavery it’s perhaps worth mentioning the part the Lancashire mill workers played. English basturts.
‘Abe Lincoln and the ‘sublime heroism’ of British workers’…………………
‘I can attest – because I am descended from them and have heard the folklore – that Lancashire cotton workers in the mid-19th Century were acutely aware, every day, that the last hands to touch the cotton before them had been black hands and unfree.’

Super salary doing his pre match conference on Thursday to avoid questioning on Friday when the 3006 day review is released?
I’m CONVINCED they will go into administration on Friday…
Which suits them to a tee to dump dead wood, contrActs n all….
In doing so… They could get costs addressed in a controlled cost efficient manner thus releasing funds for salary .
Citing withheld season ticket money as being the root cause but still securing title and promotion .
King is a distraction omi

On the basis that your Son is barred,does it not stand that Leigh Griffiths should also be barred.
IMO I think it will be likely that no more than 20,000 STS will be purchased for next season.
What in the hell is going on within our club?
thomthethim for Oscar OK,
