Confirmed as fake.

Obviously a fake. The abuse in Scotland is well known and has been going on against our staff at all levels for decades so it has hardly come as last minute information to his agent. HH.

You know your club is tom white when instead of dreaming of winning something anything, your dreams are to stop the most successful team in the country. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Success for them next season would be finishingreat third with Hearts winning the league. #anyonebutcelticbecausetherangers2012arerubbish.

Yeah Kwaj, next season you can bet your bottom dollar they are going to beg, steal, cheat, borrow all they can, we have to be ready for this.
Let us nail them big time this season, i think they would go back into administration again rather than seeing us do 10 in a row.
keep positive Bhoys and Ghirls.

Some people on here talking about Moyes being DOR. My main concern with that is if heā€™s in a role at Celtic, he will very likely be our next manager.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 21:05:12
Tbh, I'd havd Moyes as manager before Lennon every single day of the week.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 May 2019 21:43:12
Why not have NL as manager, Moyes as HOR, WGS as DOF and Groundskeeper Willie to look after the pitch.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Apu as Head of Retail and Chief Wiggum to replace that Ronnie Hawthorn muppet.}

28 May 2019 22:33:13
Ed007 - now THAT makes a lot more sense.
Moyes? - nah, he was ok with Everton but when really put to the test, was not up to it. Just cos he is a Celtic man does not wash with me.
WGS? - I would be ok with him but he was hounded out (imo)
NL? - He has the job and his record with us last time was not too shabby. Is he a step backwards? Time will tell.
I don't know the real reason he left last time but I suspected lack of financial backing when he had a team going. I like to think he has that backing this time but.?

Agree1 Disagree0

28 May 2019 23:36:53
Yes. Tiny Tim, Lennon will be successful if the Board back him with the players he wants, and if the fans back and support him and the team .
Of course this would be true with most of the possible candidates, but I think Lennon had the edge because of his knowledge of Celtic and Scottish football.
We are all in this together.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 May 2019 23:40:33
Still not officially announced that Lennon has accepted and it's now nearly Wednesday. Reason being I reckon they are discussing what the financial will be.

Falkirk Lennon is on holiday.

Moyes is a former celtic player but in his younger years he was a rangers supporter I have friends who grew up with him in Drumchapel.

I think boss hogg trumps them all.

28 May 2019 19:14:03
I was as disappointed with the appointment as much as anyone and was hoping for a better standard of manager but now Lennon's got the job we NEED to get behind him 100%. All the negativity going round at the moment is the last thing we need in our quest for 10, i don't think it will be plain sailing but we have the players and budget to still easily get the 10 let's get behind the boys because its still by far the best chance we will get to reach 10.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 19:53:55
Totally agree Ryanlarson, in order to give him a fair chance of making a success of this, the moaning has to stop and we need to get behind him and the bhoys.

Agree4 Disagree0

28 May 2019 18:54:05
Hereā€™s a question has Lennon been announced that he is the new manager yet the last I heard it was an offer?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Naw but he was leaving to go to Spain the day after the final if I mind right.

28 May 2019 20:48:42
Ach well, the wee rodent fecked off tae top up his suntan three months ago and left us in the shining bright. We were used and abused by a ā€˜high profileā€™ manager we turned out to see in our thousands and welcome. How much of an arse do I feel being taken in by that wee toad plus ah bought his feckn book which is free to a good home or available as bog roll to anybody interested. On reflection after reading it he wasnā€™t the brightest by a long way.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 21:43:27
This is going to sound like sour grapes but I only read about three chapters of it and itā€™s about the most boring book I have ever read.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2019 23:28:15
Is it any wonder that the Rangers2012.fans disrespect Celtic fans players and manager if one of our own refer to our new manager " as a wee rodent ". This is a new level of abuse but I suppose it isn't from a true Celtic supporter. Just someone who has. hopped out from follow follow .

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 18:28:07
So Jeremy Toljan has claimed he is returning to Germany a better player, i dread to think what he was like before he came. Total waste of time and money.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 22:02:24
At the time, if we had paid about Ā£6M for him and gave him a 4 year contract, everyone would have been ecstatic. There would have been loads of posts about how signing a young defender from the Bundesliga was a sign of ambition and it would have been regarded as a good transfer window. As it stands, we dodged a bullet because pistol Pete decided to go for a loan deal. We can now get rid for nothing but everyone will still say it was a bad transfer window.

Agree3 Disagree0

28 May 2019 17:22:58
Chin up ed you do a great job controlling the chaos and soon enough we'll have moved on from the manager debacle to 'who are signing'. Surely bound to end much betteršŸ˜€.

28 May 2019 23:44:37
The major controversy has moved from our new full time manager, to the new away top that apparently has been leaked . Some may think the debate about Lennon's appointment may have been hot and heavy and even over the top but wait until the away top debate gets into full swing . There will be calls to change supplier, change Board. Peter L will have to go and a boycott is likely to be called.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 May 2019 15:54:43
Has anyone heard any names in the frame for H. O. R other than John Park? It would make sense as he's worked with Lennon before and helped bring in some real gems but Lennon will have to stand strong and not let him and Lawwell try and call all the shots.

The funniest post on Celtic rumours has to be the helpless Rangers2012 fan who criticised the Celtic Board for not spending enough money during the R D era .
Imagine does he not remember how the old club died through spending too much and now the new club is heading the same way with in excess of Ā£10m over spend each year and less and less Directors prepared to exchange debt for shares.

They'll never learn! They'll lie, rob, cheat and steal to try and stop the 10.

28 May 2019 18:37:31
They wanted D. United to lose in the play off as their part of the " Hater clubs" who voted to relegate us. Relegated and Demoted are used instead of LiquidatedšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 20:06:22
They know that every time they are liquidated they can return as the 'same club' because of the rule breakers and charlatans at the SPFL and their mates in the media who continue the biggest lie ever told.

Headline in the papers today, this is why I snubbed Celtic by none other than John McGinn. I wanted to test myself against stronger faster players, so there you have it, maybe that will clear up why Celtic never got him. oldkilly.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 16:24:48
He never said that. He was talking about why he left hibs. They have miss quoted him. I honestly think he wanted to come to us but was messed about. Don't think he regrets it now though.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 17:07:31
Cory67 John McGinn says his decision to turn down Celtic has been vindicated after he scored the goal that took Villa into the premier league, it was a gamble to turn down Celtic and join Villa, I had the option of joining a couple of premier clubs butVilla guaranteed me game time. You have to challenge yourself thatā€™s why I came to England to play against stronger faster players. oldkilly.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 17:54:50
Can't really blame him mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 19:20:12
Donā€™t blame him but I donā€™t see how he can claim to be a Celtic supporter.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 19:24:38
What I've seen he mentioned he turned premier teams down because they couldn't guarantee him games and going to villa was a gamble that paid off. Never mentioned Celtic, unless he's spoke to someone else in the last day.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 21:57:16
Cory he was speaking in an interview following yesterdayā€™s match, I read it in two newspapers today and said he took a punt on villa instead of Celtic. I may be wrong but you may be one of of the many who blame Lawwell and the board for not signing him. I was posting what I read today you can believe what you want . oldkilly.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 23:47:01
I thought Petrie of Hibs wouldn't sell McGinn to Celtic as he had a row with Lawwell .

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 14:33:47
Neil Lennon came in as temp manager to get the team over the line, but I'm like the most on here don't think he is the right person to carry on the work the last two previous managers has done. Remember he left Celtic to try and better himself. what happens if Man Utd or someone else comes calling? I think the board have taking the easy way out, I don't hope it backfires but I think it might.

Just read that our total prize money for winning the Treble this season is just Ā£3.7m, a shockingly low amount and a huge reminder of why European football is important. HH.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 12:23:20
When you compare it to what's on offer down south for just 'being there' it's absolutely atrocious - especially the financial aid given by SLY in it's various forms. Also when you consider the subscription fee is the same for all UK customers, despite the contempt they show to Scotland (outside SEVCO) and I dread them taking over from BT.
Mind you the SFA/ SPFL are just as bad with their hidden agendas, self preservation and impotence at the bargaining table.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 12:47:05
I'm pretty sure the winners of the FA cup alone earn Ā£3.6m shocking that even 1 cup in England pays almost as much as the treble up here!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You're right but both finalists also get money for winning previous rounds so Man City earned about Ā£6.8 million just for winning the tournament and I'm sure there will be more from TV and advertising etc as well to be added to that.

www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/more/prize-fund

28 May 2019 14:53:46
Iā€™ve said it before, everyone needs to stop subscribing to them until they offer a separate package for Scottish football.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 15:43:32
Iā€™ve always argued that Scotland makes up roughly 10% of the UK population. Logically it would follow that with similar viewing habits we also account for 10% of Skyā€™s UK subscriber base. If that were the case why are we not getting 10% of the package that the EPL gets. It is an absolute nonsense that the 20th placed team in the EPL gets rewarded with almost 100m quid for being crap. Not only that, but they then benefit from almost 90m in parachute payments over the next three years. Itā€™s no wonder that Championship clubs can often outbid an SPFL club for players. If Celtic had access to even half that level of riches who knows how far we could go.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - A few years back I had a war with Sly and the girl let it slip that in Scotland there were "at least" 1 million Sly Sports subscribers in Scotland, even roughly at Ā£25 a pop that's at least Ā£25 million a month or Ā£300 million a year coming out of the country.
Now I know a lot of that is people paying for the Pub League etc but the new SPFL deal is supposedly worth Ā£160 million over 5 years (a rise of 20% on the current combined package) which works out as Ā£32 million a year and that's easily smashed with just over one single month of subscriptions.
My other gripe is the actual quality of the product Sly put out, BT has shown them up to be so lazy and ignorant about our game that apart from the rise in income there's no other pluses in going back to be exclusively with them.}

28 May 2019 18:46:00
Shows how much we get shafted. I'm sure if our league had the money on offer in England then the worlds best would come to Scotland as that's all it boils down to is money. Our league would be one of the best if we had teams spending 200 odd million a season on players. Didn't we have the chance to be included in the sky package years back ED and the SPL rejected them?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Didn't Sly take the huff when we snubbed them for the Sentanta deal? I think they still hold that against us.}

28 May 2019 19:29:43
We might even represent more than 10% of their subscribers. Iā€™m sure I read somewhere that Scottish football has the highest turnout of supporters per head of population of any country in Europe. If thatā€™s correct, youā€™d expect us to have a higher percentage of subscribers than England. Those 1 million subscribers could easily represent 12-15% of the total.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 20:47:45
Any information on what Sentanta paid for the rights and what sky was offering us? I couldn't help but laugh at just reading Sentanta. that's a blast from the past!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The final deal had Setanta paying about Ā£31 million a season for 4 years (Ā£135 million) which was more than double the previous deal with them of Ā£54.5 million (Ā£13 million a year). The Sly offer at the time of Setanta's initial Ā£54 million bid was only a continuation of the Ā£46m over four years previous deal.
The problem - as happens a lot in Scottish football - was that they looked for the quick fix and it was just sold to the highest bidder with no long-term thought put into. From the start it had a pie in the sky feel to it and when Setanta went bust Sly picked up our game for I think it was about Ā£9 or 10 million a season, so clubs had budgeted for higher TV revenue that never appeared and that put a lot of clubs into financial trouble, it's fine margins at clubs like Motherwell, Dundee etc.
I firmly believe if the SPL had stuck with Sly we would be getting a more favourable deal with negotiations over the years but it certainly doesn't help that we have some of the biggest morons in the game running ours.}

28 May 2019 23:50:06
Say nothing about Setanta, the founder was a good Newry man šŸ˜€šŸ˜Š.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 11:56:50
Ok so whatā€™s done is done and we need to back him now. How much do we expect with regards to financial backing will please us now we have saved a considerable amount by hiring the cheapest option we could get, having banked all of Rogers wages from Leicester? We arenā€™t going to pick up well known players for big fees, so by that reckoning we will be shopping in Holland / Croatia etc for players . If we can pick up 3/ 4 for 3/ 4 million in positions we are struggling for, would that please everyone or are we expecting more spent?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 12:57:46
We received more than that for one player Quinn. Up front. So I'd like to see more, but don't expect it.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate. The morons don't bother me, it's water off a duck's back and we all get a laugh seeing how angry the morons can get. It's more to do with whether I want to keep spending so much of my time on a Neil Lennon led Celtic or not.}

28 May 2019 11:50:35
Had to do some soul searching myself this weekend ed been asked to take a big role in running our csc and accepted it but when the announcement was made on Saturday I wasnā€™t even sure if I wanted to take myself back up let alone get others there. I always argue wi people down here that even tho the standard of football isnā€™t the best I travel all over for the love of my team and thatā€™s the thoughts Iā€™m going with now the board take us for fools constantly but in all fairness when has that not been the case. Fk the board and their contempt for us fans but Iā€™ll always back the team.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Oh I'll always back the team, Welshy but do I really want to commit to 8-12 hours per day of my free time to something that doesn't inspire or motivate me to do so? I've been wanting to get more into video game streaming on Twitch so perhaps my time would be better spent concentrating on that.
Or I could try and get a job but nobody's going to employ a guy on crutches along with the rest of my health problems.}

28 May 2019 12:20:58
You'll be sadly missed mate the time and effort you put in is I credible . No wonder you lose the plot now and again some of the posts are ridiculous. but hope you have a change of heart for what it's worth šŸ‘šŸ‘.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I mostly play FIFA mate but would be doing other games like RDR2, golf and hopefully retro-games. I'm on Twitch most of the day as well as on here but only watching and chatting for now.
I did have everything setup, - I was given an Elgato capture card as gift and saved up for a decent webcam and mic - only to then find out my wee lappy wasn't powerful enough to run streamlabs & stream on Twitch at the same time so I'm hoping on winning the lottery while I try and save up for a new PC.}

28 May 2019 16:31:29

28 May 2019 17:39:46
I said before that as appreciation for ed007 hard work a wee whip round to upgrade Edā€™s computer set up would benefit everyone. Iā€™m still up for that
Great work and youā€™ll be sorely missed if you go.

As for Neil Lennon
My only shinning light is that if he does the 10IAR and moves on, (without messing up the foundations laid by Ronnie and Rodgers) the faces of the dark side will be immense.
It certainly dulled the impact of the treble, fair play he stepped in and delivered but I didnā€™t want him to be offered the permanent position.
I hope that questions are asked at the AGM regarding who applied, who was interviewed etc. The board should not be able to hoodwink the support like this.
Lenny has done his bit and then some for Celtic but I felt walking after the treble treble was the best course of action. Then again if he delivers the 10.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - You guys have given me more than enough with the Christmas charity collections and my wife's Walk for Dementia - what's that about Ā£2800 in total for charity which is fantastic - and that was hard enough to ask for without collecting for money for a new PC. I'm a bit funny that way and when you see what goes on over on other sites regarding money I don't want to be judged like that.}

Know this is going to sound like a conspiracy theory but things have niggled me for years. Ok, hard hat on.
Could our board and club see our continued dominance as bad for business and commercial reasons. In reality, after oldco fell on their sword, we should and could have been out of sight without too much effort. instead it seems to be just enough will do.
Looking back, sevco cheating has documented evidence, nothing done from our club. SFA complicity in sevco cheating has documented evidence, yet again, nothing done from our club. Res 20 had to be instigated by our shareholders, club done here haw. That's been with the SFA for a while, put on the back burner and would appear the gas has gone out. Yet again our club don't seem interested. All the refereeing and compliance issues left club looking very impotent
Now the latest, and this isn't just about Lennon, it's about the fact the CEO stated that they didn't even bother to look at other potential candidates, that is unforgivable.
Would really love to know why our is so quiet on so many explicit rule breaking issues and why we just seem to be bereft of any ambition. I just have nagging feeling that for ulterior motives our club doesn't want to be too far in front.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

28 May 2019 12:31:29
There's a deep rooted anger and frustration with many Celtic supporters at the way Celtic appear to accept and tolerate much of what you mention above; plus not taking refereeing 'issues' all the way, or challenge slanted and fake media reporting of our club.
I don't know if it's because the club is enjoying such a successful period? As there seems to be a strong reluctance to avoid conflict?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 14:03:44
I sent a similar post a couple of weeks ago. I reckon we could easily put ourselves out of sight but it's not good for the league apparently. As long as we keep winning the league I'll be happy enough however if we don't win it there will be no excuses and I'm certain many fans will demand answers. Does the board want 10 in a row? You would think that with Scotland only having 1 Champions League place they should make sure we win it every season for the foreseeable future.

On a related note, I see Newcastle are rumoured to be bought by the man City owners cousin. It makes me wonder why we're not interesting these people as it will be much harder for Newcastle to qualify for the Champions League than Celtic. Not that I'd like us to sell out like the man cities of this world.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 16:01:56
We're not of interest to the foreign investors because we're not in the EPL cash cow.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 16:27:21
That's my point though. Newcastle for example are going to find it tough to get into the champions league competing with Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal. Celtic on the other hand are at least guaranteed the qualifying rounds and decent investment would ensure we get there year on year.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 17:02:21
Yeah but you could say that for a few team's I personally think it's more to do with being in the EPL say what you want about the standard it gets huge marketing coverage to make it look more appealing than it actually is I'm not sure I would want one of these foreign mega rich people coming in and changing stuff like the guys that bought Cardiff and changed the colour of the strip although I wouldn't say no to Desmond opening the purse strings a wee bit.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 23:55:28
Finishing in the top 15 odd of the EPL makes more money than getting to the final of Champions League . The EPL is so full of money that laundered money is easily washed.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2019 10:54:36
Right where do I start?
Treble treble and 8iar never thought Iā€™d see this coming growing up during their dominance so absolutely buzzing.
Lennon appointment well itā€™s been well documented on here how people feel me personally feel let down by the club. We as fans deserve better. Said to a few of the lads I feel it was always going to be Lennon as he was the cheap option but the board would wait until after season book renewals weā€™re out of the way. Total lack of ambition and a reliance on us as fans to still lay out our hard earned money supporting the team regardless. I believe we will still win the ten havenā€™t ever doubted that but will we improve? Yes the team hasnā€™t been up playing to a great standard of late I accept that but will Lennon improve us. I keep saying that cos I believe where we are as a club we deserve improvement. Scunnered by the appointment I will back him but scunnered.

Totally agree Welshybhoy, if we can't compete in getting players who are truly fit for the jersey and we go with the model of improving players to this level then you need a forward thinking imaginative coaching staff as your main priority then imaginative recruitment then with these two working in unison you would see a Celtic team which we can identify with as they would be coached to play football properly with style and imagination which I think is the celtic way, can't help but think this Lawell's ego thinking we don't need to move with the times and we will do it my way I mean the euphoria of 9 trophies in a row and all that happiness has been sucked out of most of us hours after winning 9th trophy in a row, back when African football was nothing 20 - 30 years ago these countries invested in coaches who turned most of these countries into credible footballing nations, Ajax another example of good coaching elevating your team.

Their excuse will be that he 'answered the call' and helped deliver; but the severe anti-climax and negativity felt by so many after the decision must have filtered through to everyone at Celtic Park by now - even Lennon himself.
Some point to the crowd reaction to him after the cup presentation was very positive - but the decision hadn't been made public then.
The old unwritten rule of never going back has been seen with players like Nicholas, McAvennie, Walker and Izzaguire and very sadly even Big Billy couldn't recapture the magic of the centenary season during his second spell as manager.
Time will tell as they say, but there were plenty warning signs, even during the latter stages of a successful season that worry me and it's not just on the field, as his last tenure proved.
Obviously I sincerely hope I'm proved wrong as supporting Celtic is a life choice - no matter who's boss, but anything less than a treble from now on, will be seen as failure lol.

With the amount of injuries we have been getting do you think we should be resting more players in cup games? It will make a 4th treble much less likely but 9/ 10iar must take priority. What is everyone's thoughts and what do you think Lennon will do?

I just feel we need to look after the players a bit more. I still of course want to go out and win the cups but certain players are playing 50-60 games a season. And this season has just been ridiculous with injuries.

We need to play more players, players need to get the odd game off .
I can't understand how in most domestic games we can't play about 9 first teasers and one or two youngsters . This would help to give first testers a rest and introduce youngsters to first team football .
BR tended to make too many changes without giving youngsters q chance.

A bit like a revamp of the old yellow NTL top. Not one I'll be personally buying.
