Peter Lawwell told Sky Sports he’ll not be rushed into making an appointment. Football goes on holiday for the next few weeks as players, managers and (under normal circumstances) CEOs kick back before minds turn to preseason and transfers. Even if Celtic appoint a manager tomorrow, his plans for next season will progress little in the immediate future, but the task is being addressed with some urgency.
The best insight I can offer is that the bookies and media know Sweet Fanny Ally about what is going on. Know that when Celtic start to talk to a candidate, the first thing they will insist on is radio silence, so if the aspiring manager is talking to a jouno, chances are he’s not talking to Celtic. The club will attempt to do as much work below radar as possible, but between now and the day of an appointment, newspapers will splash their latest ‘favourite’ to get the job over their covers in an attempt to get you buy. You’d be better picking your own candidates and writing your own headlines.
I’m going to wallow a bit in European glory tonight. All those photos of the Lions back in Lisbon has been inspiring. What great man, what a great history they’ve given us.

Are you serious?Franco’s Spain was recognised by both Britain and the United States.”
He was recognised by the British government.
That makes it legitimate then.

Lets see Franco’s mates – Hiltler, Mussolini a bunch of useless drunken Irish ‘wanna be’ Fascists and the hierarchy of the Catholic church.
Why was it all the good guys were fighting against Franco when he was so obviously a good guy who kept the best of company. Another oft forgotten factFranco actively helped the Axis during WW2 so much so that the allies deliberately fed the Spanish secret service misleading info. The most famous case being the body of an allied officer washed up on a Spanish beach with a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist that contained(fake) plans for the invasion of Sicily. The allies planted the body offshore from a sub knowing full well the Spanish would hand the invasion plans straight to the Nazis. Which they did -result allied invasion took the Nazis completely by surprise.
Franco – not a fascist – Revisionist B/S CSC

Evening all
16 Roads
Never realised you were an expert on the psyche and political preferences of the population of the Spain of Franco’s era.

I had to go to a family friends house in London to watch the 67 final.
The lady of the house was attempting to seduce me on the couch during the game.
She couldnt understand my lack of interest in her.

A worryingly ‘uber alles’ perspective IMHO. I’ll say no more.

On the Franco debate,
Yes Spain, Portugal,Sweden and many other countries were rife with spies during WW2.
Franco wasn’t ideal but the alternative was a communist Spain.Did De Valera not send a birthday message to Hitler in April 45 to the derision of USA and her allies.

Hail Hail!
OK Bhoys, I’ve avoided the yes/no debate all week but it’s now time to declare;
It’s YES – I’m supporting Atletico!
I know, I know, but we’ve played them since then (and Rapid Vienna again) and it is time to let go of the past. The current club has no link to the scum of ’74.
And I just can’t take to Real.
My only real concern actually is whether I want another entrant to our exclusive club of European Champions.
Speaking of champions, Zbyszek, welcome to the winners enclosure!
Finally, I hope the Lurgan Legend enjoys his first real week off from constant pressure since he first set foot in Paradise.

What Fascist better than communist ??? or Communist better than Fascist. Why would a fascist be better than a communist both are so wrong. Perhaps only because the Catholic church likes Fascists a wee bit more than Commies that they are a tad more acceptable?
It really is a grand old team to play for.

Keep the quality pictures coming folks-Loving everyone.

Nope, it does not make it legitimate.
However, was the alternative legitimate?

———————————————
The Allied Powers did not isolate Franco’s Spain after the war.
The recognised and worked with Franco, economically and diplomatically.
Frank Ryan’s men were misled to their deaths, they were totally oblivious to the carnage and destruction that was being inflicted in places like Barcelona.
Red Terror and anarchy was the alternative.
Do you wish do live under a Communist system of governance, or total anarchy?
If the answer is no… then why advocate it for other poor people.
As I have already said before – You would be better to ask the Spanish people themselves.

I think you will find that the Spanish people did decided. Didn’t Franco revolt against a democratically elected government.

Did exact same bet, 4/1 if Real do it or 13/2 if Atletico do it…:)

Frank Ryan’s Whiskey,
Valid point however,I think Franco was only really interested in Spain and not any sort of lebensraum.Hitler,Mussolini and communism were all expansionists.
