Is it Official that Iheanacho is away
In this Tim's eyes I thought club would keep him and offer him a 1 or 2 year deal
I realise he has fitness problems, but I was hoping a full pre season under his belt would benefit him, also he is clearly a decent impact sub, can offer experience and advice to younger players, and seems to be a good influence in dressing room, him and Oxlade Chamberlain with a good pre season can offer a lot to Celtic.

That was my take as well Tim was hoping both got deals, pre season is crucial for a good season.

Both have great talent that is undeniable. But I think both have lost a yard or two and if we want to go forward I think we have to bring in quality that has some pace also.
I am sure both will be on a good wage also wages that can be used for younger faster players IF WE BRING THEM IN on time and not the end of the window.

What is going on with the board at Celtic fc, have they learned nothing, are they truly this incompetent or are they just downright belligerent? Yet again their hand is out, we have not heard a peep out of them and they continue to show nothing but contempt for the people who fund this club.
The image of inertia and inactivity they constantly project is absolutely staggering for a so called professional business.

Just give us your money and shut up.

So, England will have NINE teams playing in all European competitions next season.
FIVE of those teams, (Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester Utd, Aston Villa) will play in the CHAMPIONS League!
Meanwhile the actual CHAMPIONS of certain members of UEFA registered member leagues will have to compete in qualifying rounds and scramble to get some crumbs from the big money competition.
This is wrong on so many levels and just makes the rich clubs richer and move the goalposts even further away from the teams in the small money leagues.

Itsxalways been wrong but that's UEFA for you nothing more than a corrupt cash cow.

Up to fans of other leagues to have ‘not another penny’ campaign. They only care about money and that comes entirely from us idiot plebes. Personally, when we are not in it, I don’t even buy a can of coke with their logo on it. If the supporters outwith the perceived special 5 countries starved them of cash you’d soon see a change in the ‘TV cup’ attitude.
Surely what they do is a breach of EU competition law.
Years back there was talk of North Atlantic league for the unwashed and unworthy, that would have killed them. Money talks, we should make sure they listen.
28 May 2026 15:36:08
Kelechi free to sign for anyone. For me he has earned another 12 months, even if as an impact sub. If new manager doesn't fancy him then i'm sure he could find a club to take him on loan. Why we aren't moving on him is puzzling, or knowing our Board maybe not!
2
28 May 2026 18:00:06
He played max 45 minutes for us and has not played more than 60 minutes for 5 years.
That doesn't say to me he has 90 minutes in him but no one has explained why.
Is he really worth another year with the wages we are paying him.
I think he is a huge risk.
2
28 May 2026 18:22:33
Apparently he looking at between £25/ 30k pw, for an impact player not for me, lose weight have a good pre season then mb worth it.
1
28 May 2026 21:39:58
We would not have won the league without him. Adamu, Cvancara and Mvuka were about £60k pw. Any player is a risk, he is free and we know what he can do. Guys like Kenny could learn loads from him on what a CF should do.
Accept however he has fitness issues but personally I think he has shown his worth and he would continue to score goals in our league for years.
4
29 May 2026 04:52:46
He needs to be let go. Thanks for your service but we can’t be allowed to be that poor again and need to rely on a player that has no fitness levels.
He has helped win a league and cup double but like many others it’s time to move on.
1
29 May 2026 08:21:07
Chinks, maybe not but that was only because he came on late in games as he wasn't fit enough to start.
You want to have another season with him here, just in case we need a goal after 70 minutes.
28 May 2026 11:50:00
Here we go again with Saracchi.
Most Celtic fans would be happy to see him signed and I believe the player would also be keen to come back.
Boca are already at their limit on "foreign" players so will be keen to move him on in order to free up the space for a first choice player.
However, our BoD will know this and appear to be trying to get him on the cheap, paying what we can get away with, rather than what he is worth. What the clowns fail to grasp is that we're not the only club who could take him! No doubt, while they penny-pinch with their offers, someone else will come in a nd snap him up from under our noses.
This is exactly what has been going wrong for years. Get him signed and pay Boca what they want as he's worth it. Otherwise we'll end up panic buying late in the window again, overpaying for inferior players.

28 May 2026 12:32:30
This pisses me off, if true. Saracchi was wonderful and ought to have got more game time. Easiest load conversion since Maeda.

When it works I don’t have an issue with the low balling. We got Nygren by low balling, o’reilly and a few other further back on unbelievable bids which in turn have been very good for the club so in business it definitely is a good approach. It all depends on supply and demand - if they can’t use him and Celtic need him for cover at LB then lowballing makes sense in this instance for me.
If we bid 6m and get him immediately you would be pissed off sick if you could get him for 2.5m with a bit of negotiation. Issue is that it doesn’t always work. Did Celtic miss McGinn by lowballing? Obviously there are bad story’s as well as good.
2
28 May 2026 14:03:13
Negotiations are part and parcel of buisness. Go in low work up to an accepted bid.
Now if we desperately needed a LB then yes pay what they want. But he'd be back up to Tierney.
As much as he looks a player I've no issue lowballing this one and see where it takes us.
1
28 May 2026 15:21:32
Guys our Board have two sides when negotiating
If we are SELLING we expect top dollar eg Parma and Nawrocki Board put high price on both
When Board are BUYING eg Saracchi we go in LOW
But this present Board has no idea to compromise.

28 May 2026 18:43:19
This was the guy that won us the league on the last day, watch his involvement in the 2nd goal from about a full minute before the ball hit the net, he totally changed the pace of the game when he came on and not for the first time last season. Get him signed up and stop f****** penny pinching. Jeezo will we ever learn.

28 May 2026 19:23:34
100% agree could even be a good left winger.

Celtic aren't paying 5 million pound for a back up LB. I want to sign him but its not going to happen at that price. Plus I got told from a decent source his family didn't settle in Scotland.
1
29 May 2026 08:24:53
I would love us to sign him and play both him and KT, one of them playing further up the field.
Scarrachi has shown how dangerous he is further forward and can create goals, as has KT.

That's what teams with plenty cash in the bank and a bit of ambition do Jim.
28 May 2026 11:28:55
Did anyone read the latest Nancy interview.
He was asked if he considered himself a Scottish champion and his answer was 'I can see why some might say that. '
He does not consider his time at Celtic a failure. He said he was asked to come in and change things but there was fear of change, suggesting we are stuck in time and set in our ways.
He also said his time wasn't that bad as we were sitting in third and could still have won the league.
He clearly remembers a different team than I can. The players were so deflated we would have been lucky not to have fallen further down the table.
He didn't consider his time a failure and said had he been sacked after 6 months it would have been a failure.
He clearly thought he had a 6 month window to change his system and for it to have bedded in. By that time we would beat any team but in reality the way we were playing, we would have been well out of the title fight.
He clearly had no idea what the club stands for and what his challenge was, to win every competition we play in and every game we play.
He is such a great young Manager that no one has snapped him up since he left.

28 May 2026 12:35:37
Feel for the man. There' a grain of truth in here somewhere. Hope he can get time to impose his style at good club somewhere.
Don't think I've disliked any Celtic managers so I may be a bit biased, or thick.

In the 1st half performance against the cream buns we wer excellent best 1st half seen in long time 2nd half was atrocious worse 2nd half seen in a long time 🤷🏽♂️.

Someone one told me other day Motherwell wanted him in, don’t kno if true, if they did get him bookies would close betting on them get relegated, he hopeless. After Nancy I’m sure West Brom had guy from mls in too, he didn’t have clue either, it will be along time before anymore uk teams go for manager from there.

Six defeats from Eight games and conceding an average of three goals per game is definitely Failure.

He was the wrong man at the wrong time and had no room for error.

28 May 2026 20:06:40
In MLS he was given time by a club not expected to win trophies but here we do not have that luxury.
In MLS his teams took 1 or 2 seasons to get up to speed with his system but he tried to do it within months here, probably because when he got the job, he was told he didn't have that time, success is in our DNA.
He clearly didn't understand that at all and even now he blames the club for not being prepared to change.
27 May 2026 22:58:04
It's with great regret that I have to send this to the ticket office. I made the decision recently that I cannot continue buying my Season Ticket and sometimes enough is enough. I can no longer invest in a Club that treats its support like cash machines, there to sook in all the money, but at the same time, peddle mediocre crap and invest the minimum for the hope of success.
I genuinely hope someone gets the seat and enjoys it but I can't anymore.
I have never fallen out of love with Celtic, never will and will always support them, but this current board are killing us slowly.
Seems really strange writing this after a double trophy Season but that was the weirdest, strangest Season I've ever experienced. I know it's not an Airport so don't have to announce my departure but really wanted to put it out there why I'm not renewing and thought this would be the best place.
Anyway, here it is;
Dear Celtic Ticket Office and Board of Directors,
I am writing to formally inform you that, after much consideration, I will not be renewing my Celtic FC season ticket for the upcoming season.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly. As a lifelong supporter, giving up my seat is incredibly difficult, but I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support the current direction of the club. My decision is rooted in several critical issues regarding how our club is being run:
Failure to Invest in the Squad
There has been a distinct and frustrating failure to properly invest in the playing squad. Despite having the financial resources and a clear advantage, the lack of ambition in the transfer market has left the team stagnant rather than building from a position of strength.
Shambolic Managerial Searches:
The previous search for a manager was nothing short of shambolic. It showed a complete lack of foresight and planning, and looking ahead, I have zero confidence in the board's ability to handle future transitions without repeating the exact same mistakes. I can already predict what is coming over the summer and I want no part of it.
Demonisation of the Fanbase:
The recent treatment of our own fans is deeply concerning. The barring of certain sections of our support feels like an unacceptable way to treat faithful, paying supporters. At the time, instead of dialogue and community, the board had chosen alienation and assumption of wrong doing of which I am sure has never been proven.
Exploitation of Loyalty:
There seems to be a general assumption by the hierarchy that the fanbase will simply accept mediocrity. The board appears to operate under the impression that we are merely a metric to be exploited for ticket sales and merchandise revenue, rather than the lifeblood of the club. This is unacceptable.
A Failure of Leadership:
Finally, there has been a complete and utter abject failure from anyone on the current board to take control and show true leadership. I hold particular criticism towards the Desmond family, whose hands-off, corporate approach is detrimental to our footballing identity. It is my firm belief that they should relinquish their stakeholding in Celtic with immediate effect to allow for leadership that actually puts the club first.
I want to support a Celtic that matches the ambition, passion, and values of its fans. Until the board reflects those qualities and treats the supporters with the respect they deserve, I will be supporting the team from afar.
Finally, I want to pass on my sincere congratulations to the playing squad and management team. I watched with pride our team winning a record 56 league titles but the very fact it took Martin O'Niell, a man in retirement to come back to work twice, makes the achievement that much more incredible. He was put in that position by an incompetent board who basically had no where to turn to. For that reason, I cannot continue to support this Club financially.
Please ensure my details are updated, thank you.

Well done Rab for taking a stand and your letter was eloquently put and highlights their shortcomings.
I understand how hard it is to walk away from the thing you love, having done so myself recently. Seeing fans like yourself pushed to the edge like this makes me hate them even more. They are a cancer that needs removed.

28 May 2026 18:26:13
It’s obvious Celtic are missing out on another very passionate Supporter.
It’s a shame it’s came to that Rab and loads of fans share your frustrations.

It's a sad day when Celtic fans are so disgruntled, even when we are in an unprecedented period of success, to cancel their ST.
What does that say about how the club is being run, a club who claims its operations are world class.
Over the last few days, yet again our club has shown how poorly run we are.
Other clubs have started getting players in, yet we still don't have a Manager.
MON, who has done a remarkable job, was supposed to have a meeting with DD, who should not be the one deciding this, this week about the job and it is being put off until next week.
What a shambles of a club.
What does MN actually do for a job?
The Manager should be in place and we should have been in contact with potential signings and getting deals in place.

Sadly Marco, that is probably correct. There are plenty on the list who will find themselves a ticket this year. Good luck to them, I remember when I got mine, I was over the moon. 🤣🍀.
28 May 2026 10:16:17
I've seen a few reports now on Jotas injury and subsequent rehabilitation and the signs don't look positive.
We definitely missed his flair and his ability to take on the defender and put in a telling cross.
Thoughts are with him as he continues his recovery but it's increasingly looking like we will need to replace him 😫.

28 May 2026 10:27:12
If October is the timeline then we'll need another winger, but it's not looking good for the boy 🙏.

28 May 2026 11:51:54
Celtic can’t include Jota in our plans for next season because there’s a serious chance he will never play for our club again.

When you read about the injury, there is a 60% chance he will be back playing at a good level but not the level he was at prior to the injury.
If so that would be devastating for him. A class player with ao much ahead of him.
