Just a thought (he did know a thing or two about successfully managing a club) .

"Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes. " (Brian Clough)

The world needs more men like him honest through and through sadly the game as changed for the worse drastically over the last 10 years it's all about money read what Juan mata said and he was bang on saying players get payed ridiculous amounts and don't live in reality he was embarrassed by the amount some players get especially so young.

Gordo yes some get paid too much . but why is it always football getting attacked is it because it's mostly you g working class guys . Why not newsreaders . actors. tv presenters . . owners of multi nationals etc etc how many times has the press / media (owned by billionaires ) criticised the amount of money bill Gates earns . plenty of people who wear the old school tie make vast amounts of mo ey . but the one group always vilified is footballers . and when all is said and done why doesn't mata just take the minimum wage and donate the rest to charity if it's that obscene to him.

I can see where you are coming from deep river but I think the reason we look at footballers different is because we can go out a kick a ball about ourselves and don't get paid also we aren't interested as the other stuff as we are football it was every boys or girls dream to run out playing for the team they grow up supporting some are lucky enough to do it and get paid for it some aren't.

I agree with our knowledge of dominoes, and the really clever ones nowadays are probably expert in the FIFA games.

26 Apr 2016 21:19:22
Anyone think we will carry on the current trend of waiting to the last possible minute and hire some relative unknown again? On that note. Any of the outsiders u rumour addicts would like to take the helm? Not ridiculous outsiders of course. But genuine contenders. with our current board I would not be shocked at losing moyes to villa and us with erik black. Not to mention ripping the spine out our team again to fund the new gaffer.

26 Apr 2016 22:35:30
Lonesome we cannot lose what we haven't got . There is no sound reason why we should think Moyes is our new manager . Rumours Rumours, may be true but likely just something to put on a page.
The spine of the team, on the basis of recent games I am not sure we have much to worry as most of our players wouldn't be missed and probably not wanted.

27 Apr 2016 11:34:11
Clough was a great manager, who got more things right than he got wrong but when he got the tactics wrong, he would come out with a quote like that, because in his own eyes he was infallible.

Any recommended apps for kodi?

{Ed007's Note - Have you installed a build on your KODI? That's a theme with all the add-ons already on it. There's a bit of a civil war going on with the KODI add-on developers over third parties making money off of what they do for free and some of them have taken down their add-ons until it's sorted out. Because of this I'm not sure which add-ons are there and which aren't.}

26 Apr 2016 21:42:53
mate i got recommended the pulse build was going great but tonight really struggling to get streams, I've got the firestick and I've got to admit I'll probably go back to a wookie build.

26 Apr 2016 21:53:25
Just install either Wookie wizard or ares wizard on a fresh start kodi and pick a build. As ed says there seems to be a bit of a war going on in kodi world the now. For sly spurts and bt I find either cosmix , sports mix and uktvnow which are part of most of the builds best addons at the moment.

26 Apr 2016 22:05:43
Ive just done the same monkey, I had the pulse build through Ares but wiped the slate clean tonight and went back to wookie and installed retro build and its great

26 Apr 2016 22:29:44
Cheers bhoys, I've just installed kodi app ed. Going to mess about wae it tonight.

{Ed007's Note - We've got an Android page HERE that you should check out mate. Any problems you have we'll get it sorted and our very own Welsbhoy is a genius when it comes to this stuff.}

Not at all surprised that john collins has been outed as trouble. He was an over bearing fool at hibs and thinks because he played in france he knows coaching better than anyone. he's a festering mould within the club. Jk only there for sympathy. Lawell is a disgrace but we know he won't walk away this year. Probably sell on alot, make a tidy amount on biton, keep ambrosr and sign a ton of midfielders before appointing malky f-in mackay with about 3 days left on the transfer window whilst letting broony.

26 Apr 2016 22:16:01
I don't know how football clubs are run, but if indeed John Collins is this major disruption then why would Cfc not just get rid . The simple explanation for John Collins is that he's simply not good enough to coach or motivate players . Nothing sinister but just pure lack of coaching ability tactically and man to man.

27 Apr 2016 10:06:35
I would love to know how everyone knows this about Collins? Is it just speculation or is there hard proof or word of mouth by players? I know there was problems at Hibs but wheres the proof of this at Celtic?

Justice for the 96. YNWA.

26 Apr 2016 18:01:19
Regardless of which team anyone supports, no one deserves to be treated the way the JT96 have been treated.

Thoughts and prayers for all concerned.

NB: well done to the jurors, that could not have been easy for them


YNWA.

26 Apr 2016 19:00:08
Agree to all above that no matter what colour you wear that you should always be safe at football.
Cprs i heard the jurors have literally been employed for 2 years mate by the system and some of them have had to get a Counciller involved due to the length and subject of the horrific misjustice.

26 Apr 2016 20:40:58
The way they were treated was awful, I heard on the radio tonight that the family of one of the victims saw their loved one in the gymnasium at Hillsborough, (which was being used as a mortuary) , he had a black bin liner over his head and he hadn't been pronounced dead.
I think the lack of dignity shown to the victims and their families on the actual day of the tragedy is one of the saddest things in this whole affair, I don't know how those responsible for this can sleep at night.
I am glad that the truth has finally come out, the tragedy of it is that it took 27 years, the families deserved far better than that.

26 Apr 2016 21:33:28
The justice system in this country is in a terrible state, cover up after cover up to comply with a rotten to the core police force that is so far up its own arse to care about the protect and serve motto. It's been this way for far too long to change without a complete overhaul. Hope this is the start of it. YNWA 96

26 Apr 2016 08:55:58
So we're apparently looking at Ola Aina from Chelsea to replace Lustig? If there's anything to the story then who's behind the move? RD is off and as far as anyone is aware we don't have a new manager set up. This would surely prove beyond all doubt who's really pulling the strings and making the signings at the club and would be a major warning sign to potential new managers.

26 Apr 2016 11:07:53
Would still like it to be true looks a real talent, but agree has already happened with Gordon when RD arrived and find it hard to beleive RD would have seen enough of the 2 Utd lads to offer pre contracts when we did.

26 Apr 2016 11:20:50
Yeah Tompo88 we still need to be scouting etc. and tbh Lustig probably will need replaced considering he's looked a yard slower this season and he won't get a break because of the Euros. The bit that got me was that apparently his wage demands were too high. If that's true then it's gotten a bit further than just scouting.

26 Apr 2016 11:45:12
Ut s veen well documented that a lot of Chelski's kids are on 30k+. I'm all up for us breaking the wage cap, but for a player like this? Not so sure.

Obviously he's had injuries but is it safe to assume at this stage that Janko is another who hasn't been pulling his weight? Was looking forward to him getting a string of games.

26 Apr 2016 12:19:40
Agree Kev. I was gutted to hear from ED the other week thant Janko apparently wants to go back to England. He has been out ALL season and has not proved anything yet. Was looking foward to seeing him getting a run, but TBH if that's his attitude could realling be doing without players like that in the squad.

26 Apr 2016 12:48:10
Seen a couple reports saying Janko hasn't settled in Glasgow.

26 Apr 2016 16:45:40
Kevbhoy is it possible new manager is already in place and targeting the areas we need to strengthen? Could it also be that Lawell, s visit to dressing room was to inform the players of this fact, but not to who it is and that he is watching and already msking decisions for next season and CLQ, and has received s full dossier prepared by RD. So they are under no illusions. RD is only there as token to allow him to lift the league. To sack a manager on route to winning the league irrespective of performances should not be deprived of that and would imo be morally and professionally very poor. Nobody is going to sanction a transfer in current circumstances, unless we register interest to allow the incoming manager opp to say yes or no?

26 Apr 2016 17:31:34
This boy from Chelsea is apparently looking for a king's ransom to come to Celtic, if amounts are true, he won't become a bhoy .
There is only a certain amount of work anyone person can do and that includes the manager . To me the most important role of manager is to make sure he has a, very fit, well motivated, well coached team playing his tactics . In all these he needs help and although he may or may not rubber stamp all new recruits, that's really all he can do as others have to do the spade work in determining whether the prospect is the right man for us.

26 Apr 2016 18:07:48
Kwaj it's a possibility but as I said in my OP, nobody seems to be aware of any preliminary talks with potential managers never mind a done deal and I find it highly unlikely that the club have managed to set up such an agreement without anybody getting a sniff of it.

26 Apr 2016 21:26:18
kwaj, if our past record of recruiting managers or players is anything to go by then there is NO CHANCE that we have a manager lined up who is already scouting.

27 Apr 2016 20:06:06
Fair enough, I would like to remain optimistic. ;)
