I have just watched the nancy interview. are we all being a bit hasty i know he has lost 3 games on the bounce but he is saying he doesn't want his players playing back he wants them to attack.
this is the Celtic way and in our dna with the right players and system could we have an intellegent coach on our hands here but the board have made him a scapegoat and to take pressure of him.
16 Dec 2025 16:07:58
Question who put Nancy's name to the Celtic board? I am still in the opinion that he might come good IF backed by the board I really don't believe he will be. So why put someone's name to the board for a manager that it's so clear we don't have most of if any players that can or will play that system? No way will Celtic bring in at least 6 first team players this winter window it seems really bad board management and who ever put Nancy's name in for the board to consider should be booted out the door.
16 Dec 2025 17:32:07
Nicholson said they had been tracking him for a while and that he was the outstanding candidate.
We were also told that it is Desmond that conducts the managerial interviews and only once he is satisfied does Nicholson get involved to do the contracts and negotiations.

It's been suggested Tony that Tisdale worked with one of Nancy's coaches at Exeter City, some years ago.
Therefore the presumption is that Tisdale recommended Nancy to the board/ DD. Someone with Tisdale's CV should be nowhere near Celtic Park let alone playing the role of 'king maker'/ player recruitment.
My fear is that we'll have dropped too many points by the time the January window closes for any players signed to make a positive impact in the current league campaign.
I hope I'm wrong.

All of them should be booted out the door…. every……single……last …. one…. of……. them.
Running out of tinfoil here…….
16 Dec 2025 18:03:01
Do you we really think anyone will put their hand up and say " it was me, I recommended him"😂.
16 Dec 2025 18:05:23
Tisdale has meant to have mentioned Nancy for an interview.
The inexperienced and unknowns looking out for each other.
16 Dec 2025 15:28:57
Inamura being loaned out, played 2 games never put a foot wrong, totally fed up with those type of signings, either give them a decent chance or don't sign them at all.
16 Dec 2025 16:06:14
So many of our youth players never get a chance, yet we continually sign projects and unknowns from abroad that leapfrog them; yet one way or another never make the grade. There are probably more but here's a list of fairly recent examples of our shocking recruitment:- Kwon, Oh, Tomoki, Holm, Kobayashi, Tillio, and Ideguchi spring to mind and that doesn't include players like Lagerbielke, Nawrocki.
Parma, Bernabei and Haskabanovic who's faces didn't fit.

Have you seen our B team results?
16 Dec 2025 14:43:26
If, as half-expected we don't get a win tomorrow; that not only leaves us in severe danger of giving up the title, it also puts that shower of shegite in a precarious position.
Do they persevere with a newly appointed manager, the support probably never wanted and neither it seems do the players? Risking a total meltdown or even a riot.
Do they sack him - paying off a second manager in weeks that will make certain Board members position untenable?
Do they then humiliate themselves even further by phoning MON, who may politely decline and then where do they go?
Or does Desmond maintain his bully-boy stance, put two fingers up at the support and say it's all our fault.
16 Dec 2025 17:50:58
I'm going to take a mad punt on D.
16 Dec 2025 12:13:28
So Tom english sent In a question to Nicholson in October and he's still waiting on a reply, now he knows how we feel.
16 Dec 2025 15:11:47
Tom English and his BBC bigoted buddies are no friends of ours…. That's why he still waiting on a reply, no other reason.
16 Dec 2025 17:53:44
Anyone who listens to a single word from radio shortbread needs to get out more.
16 Dec 2025 11:57:32
What a total shambles, from top to bottom!
16 Dec 2025 13:08:50
It's not DDs fault. Or Nicholson. Or Lawell. Or Nancy's fault. It's all on Weejoe 😂😂.
16 Dec 2025 17:18:50
A big boy do enit and ran away. 🤣.

As was discussed on the Live Podcast last evening, Nancy is only one of the problems at this moment in time.
The arrogant, dismissive barstewards, commonly known as the Celtic board, 'searched' for and then appointed this guy and will no doubt, as they did with BR, will lay the blame for this shambles of a season, that is unfolding in front of our very eyes, at Nancy's door. Guaranteed.
Only then, when it's too late, will they pull the trigger on Nancy's short tenure as manager and we'll be back to square one, looking for the next victim to take over a squad of mainly disillusioned or just plain poor footballers, who by that time, will have thrown in the towel and downed tools.
This is neglect, corporate incompetence and the managed decline of a football club, unlike anything I have seen in 30+ years and not enough supporters are talking about it.
Meanwhile, as JFP said on the podcast last evening, referencing Desmond Jnr at the AGM;- this is as good as it gets, so buy you season ticket, sit down and shut up.

Pedro spot on.
Season ticket renewal time will be very interesting.
I really hope the collective can organise the option for fans to pledge their ticket renewals so that they have leverage with the club to force change. 🙏.
16 Dec 2025 12:49:40
We just need a manager who plays a proper football formation i. e MON. Too many modern football managers over complicate a really simple game.
16 Dec 2025 13:05:00
Bhoy88,
The penultimate and last paragraphs in my post above, take it in and let it settle 🙄
☘️ 🍀 ☘️.
16 Dec 2025 13:06:57
I know I'm an old record. But what will force change is a ban on ST purchases. And when folk, like me, get offered a ST to plug the gap, tell them Tae get Tae.
16 Dec 2025 14:54:50
I'll certainly not be giving up my ST as it took me years to get my own as I previously shared one with family.
16 Dec 2025 15:33:55
9iar and Vosabhoy,
this is the dilemma, as it will be with so many supporters across Scotland, Ireland, England etc
The board are no doubt confident that regardless of their actions, and let's be crystal clear here, this has been a managed decline of Celtic Football Club by this current board, that they will never be hit in the pocket re ST renewals.
Just like they're confident the ordinary punter is happy, sorry grateful, that Celtic remain one step ahead of SEVCO because that's yer lot.
Peter Lawell has lost any respect he once had by addressing adult shareholders like children at the AGM, a few weeks ago.
Baby Desmond, went even further. The arrogance and stupidly of that man child, to read the manifesto of the toffs on the board to the assembled shareholders, penned by big daddy and majority shareholder DD, was outrageous and the most disgraceful act to date.
Through it all, the CEO, DD's pet puppet, Nicholson sat and said fu*k all. The CEO btw, is supposed to be running the show but for those in any doubt of Nicholsons place, it's clearly well down the pecking order, but picking up £800K per year means he doesn't need dignity, pride or just acting like a decent human being, as all that can take a back seat to being a individual who's clearly the CEO in name only.
Everybody knows who pulls the strings st Celtic Park but DD and Lawell won't be around forever, and if baby Desmond thinks this ridiculous scenario will go away anytime soon, he can add delusional to his list of unpalatable characteristics.
Personally I fear the only way real change at board level will take place is if a consortium/ individual comes in and buys up more than the 34% of shares that DD currently has.
In the meantime if supporters do see fit to take action that hits the club in the pocket, perhaps dialogue may start to take place.
In the meantime it's sit down, give us your money and shut up.

16 Dec 2025 17:10:04
Vosabhoy, I respect your opinion so to all in that camp, it's Put up and Shut up. We'll be trapped in the managed decline a few of us have alluded to if we buy STs.

Santa baby put a new manager under our tree

Good effort Tim!

He needs to get a back 4 and ditch this ridiculous formation, at least the players know how to play it.
16 Dec 2025 11:26:38
Am sure it started of as a back 4 on Sunday then went pear shaped, the players can't or won't buy into his tactics, McGregor needs to earn his money and come out and do sumit, a fear the worse going into Every Game.
16 Dec 2025 12:52:13
It definitely didn't start as a back 4!
16 Dec 2025 12:02:48
Scales and Tierney hadn't a clue what they were ment to be doing it was embarrassing we were all over the place and when he put forrest I midfield that was it for me, he hasn't a clue what he's doing, stevie woods looked raging and he's the keeper coach.
16 Dec 2025 02:18:48
The Nancy Tactics, correct me if I'm wrong but are they not just a play on Amorin's at Manchester United? Stat wise they look good but feck me they are terrible and if that's what we've got to look forward to for the foreseeable the season is already done.
16 Dec 2025 08:58:13
Whatever he is doing, the players are either unable or unwilling to adapt and at this moment there isn't any opponent that doesn't fancy their chances against us after the first three woeful performances.
Something has to change or the season will be over in a few weeks.
16 Dec 2025 12:53:53
Same formation mate, a lot of modern managers use it ( no idea why) but Man United are also p££s poor coincidence?
15 Dec 2025 21:25:42
Dear Santa,
I hope this finds you well, warm and nowhere near Celtic Park in December, where every press conference is filled with the ramblings of an imbecile and we are always promised something nice next month. I have tried to be good this year. I recycled my programmes, did not put up anti-board posters on lamp posts or roundabouts, waited until at least the 70th minute before booing, and even convinced myself that a late January loan with an option to buy counted as ambition. On that basis alone, I feel I have earned a few wishes.
First up, could you pop down to Celtic Park and quietly but firmly remove Wilfred Nancy as manager. I know you usually deal with naughty lists rather than tactics boards, but if you could put him back on the sleigh and return him and his wee tactics board to wherever they came from, that would be greatly appreciated.
In his place, I would very much like Martin O'Neill reinstated as Celtic manager. I know he has probably earned a peaceful life and a nice cup of tea, but desperate times call for Santa level intervention. We just need someone who looks at Rangers and Europe and thinks not on my watch, rather than we go again.
While you are at it, please remove all board members. I am not asking for anything drastic, just a clean sweep, a polite wave and maybe a complimentary scarf on the way out. If you could also have a word with DD and encourage him to sell his shares to the Celtic fans, that would really bring the spirit of Christmas to the club.
What I would really love is a new board with a clear vision of the future and an actual desire to make Celtic the best they can be. A board that communicates with fans without resorting to verbal attacks whenever questions are asked. One that understands modern football recruitment, data, scouting and the idea that buying players before everyone else notices them is better than bidding after. A board that can get transfer deals over the line without collapsing at the sight of an extra fifty grand and a box of Quality Street.
I know this is a big list, Santa, but you have delivered miracles before. If you can fit it all in between the PlayStation requests and the novelty socks, every Celtic fan promises to behave at least until the next dropped points at home.
Yours sincerely,
WeeJoe
P. S. Sorry we booed you last year.
