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 .

Correct! I wouldn’t take him back if he crawled to the front door on his hands and knees begging to be re-employed.

As you have no doubt read now, the reason given on here was that Sevco have a Home game on the Saturday. If accounts on here are to be believed, I cannot see how that would have been a problem. Apparently , both teams` gates are so small now, no one would have been inconvenienced 0:-)

How do you know Ernie is wee? No one from CQN has ever seen him.

aiden bhoy- yes, won’t post all the details but Willie was treated very shabbily when he “left”.HH

JC novel idea. It would be like some fantastic fabian joust, each fighting for the right to be the heir to Tony Benn’s legacy.

To renew or not. Undecided.

The official site is undergoing a facelift.
Lots of green and media friendly pics with quick link icons down the RH side.
Expect a few teething problems while they fix the inevitable issues.
Maybe the web team could do a job for the Obamacare web site?
Tony Mowbray ‘s granny is much more to be trusted, speculative speculation wise.
….and then Gorgeous George would step forward and offer to be ‘the cat’.
Nah, I’ve taken that too far.

Johan saw the press speculation on NFL becoming manager of Norwich/Leicester (delete as appropriate)
He went to see Peter
Says to Pete ‘will I be considered for the job if Neil leaves?’
Pete says ‘No’
Johan says ‘here’s my notice’
Jamie Hamill issued with notice of complaint by SFA for “excessive misconduct by knocking Derek Adams to the ground.” Hearing Thu 8th May.
We have always been told if the referee has taken action for example as in this case willie collum booked Jamie Hamill, then no further action can be taken
I love the SFA rulebook, it has rules which cover every eventuality………………..discriminately
Good luck to big Dolph in the future. A true Celtic gentleman and a talented, uncompromising player.
I’d say it was likely we would promote within, but would love to see a young, hungry Italian, or Spaniard recruited with uncompromising attitudes about fitness and application.
Listened to a proponent of the No vote last night spouting condescension and negativity over how “us Scots” would make a pigs ear of it running ourselves. What I don’t understand is how could we do any worse than the current band of spivs darn sarf running the show? The percentage of the current Westminster parliament with prosecutions against their names is mind boggling.
