Celtic banter 6

16 Jul 2026 17:38:27
Hey my friends it is time for the board to go all these guys you know.

These guys have chance after chance to invest and improve side but no.

Enrico wait wait wait patiently for new players but nothing guys.

Enrico feel for MON.

It is not so good my friends.

16 Jul 2026 18:03:50
Don’t feel sorry for MON Enrico, he’s part of the cabal.

16 Jul 2026 19:43:38
Oh this is getting stupid now.

16 Jul 2026 20:00:26
A can't feel sorry for anyone earning £10/ 20 n more a wk.

16 Jul 2026 20:22:09
Face painter the man who lifted the cup and league is part of the cabal given it a rest.

16 Jul 2026 16:27:26
So after MON comments on not having asked for transfer reassurance, and being unsure about how the set piece coach was appointed, we now have the ceo saying he's having problems with agents.
No the problem is that he's well out of his depth.

For all his faults there's not a chance PL would have made such a claim.
It really is amateur hour.
How for down the list of targets must be now.
I shudder to think.

16 Jul 2026 18:32:20
The excuses are starting. Why is it not affecting other teams? Or is it because who ever is talking to the agents on Celtics behalf hasn't got a clue how to deal with them? IF that is the main contributing factor in Celtic not having the nucleus of the team sorted out by now.

For me we should have got most of our transfer business done by now with only replenishing players that leave. And IMO we should have at least very least 5 new players already at the club not just one.

16 Jul 2026 11:23:03
To start with I know nothing of any Celtic transfer activity apart from what I read or the rumours on here.

But like every Celtic fan, or majority it is concerning that we have oy signed 1 player and several more are required.

Now as most people said last season was one of the worst Celtic teams but got dragged over the line by MON.

Hearts under McInnes weren't far away from doing a Leicester but just couldn't win an away game towards the end of the season.

As much as Rangers finished 3rd, they weren't far away either and if they had a manager like McInnes might just have done it.

Rangers have been very active in the transfer markets and yes people will say they had to improve there team, but so do we very much.

As much as nothing is won in pre season signings (although Rangers fans believe there is a trophy) and you never know how signing will turn out. Rangers have been coming in every pre season only for their signings to fail. But this feels different. They have a good manager, not a great manager but good for the Scottish league. He'll get a tune of of players and they seem to be tooling up.

I get some of their signings are back up, like McCorie and Devlin and they needed to sign players after the raft of loan signings that left, but they have some starters also.

Now look at us. We have all said we probably nerd at least 6 1st team ready players signed, we have 1. Seems there's not a great deal happening on the horizon, hopefully someone can tell me different.

Now I have no doubt players will be signed. But it's frustrating that we take a age to sign players, we're other teams seem to get them over the line quickly, and you can't tell me we're going for better quality and it's harder to sign them.

I get there's a lot of wheels that have to fall into place when signing players.

But signing the OX and Ineacho just won't cut it.

I hope I'm sitting here at the end of the transfer window writing a different post, and even more so at the end of the season as league winners.

But please let's hope there is a plan in place to get the quality we need and it's just taking time.

16 Jul 2026 13:04:45
What I think has happened is the market has changed and we are refusing to adapt.

16 Jul 2026 13:18:24
I honwstly don't think we have adapted to anything along with the transfer market. We are so backwards it's unbelievable and down right embarrassing.

16 Jul 2026 13:06:47
I say every window, getting rid of the deadwood is equally as important as strengthening the side in terms of morale and comoetition. The squad has got stale and needs a good freshening up. A number of managers have tried to get the best out of what's there even if the players wasn't really suited to how they wanted them to play. We need 5 or 6 new 1st team ready players in as well as a better depth on the bench.

Goals, physicality, flair, hunger. Some of the 2nd string don't offer that and maybe lost that bit of a spark and hunger for falling out of favour. Now is the time to overhaul, we can afford it already without the money raised with selling off our prized assets. We can easily get the problem sorted and finish with a high net spend still. The board just need to get their fingers out and get active.

16 Jul 2026 15:02:23
Does anyone actually believe we are actively scouting for players. The way things are going we won’t recruit anymore until there are departures. It’s scandalous. Again there is a high chance we will fail to qualify for CL and miss out on £30M. 2/ 3 qualify players is all we need but not a chance in hell with this board.

16 Jul 2026 15:29:42
For some time now I have had serious doubts that we have any structured and efficient Recruitment Network that is part and parcel of ANY big club. The Desmond Dynasty may have business nous, but they have serious and damaging flaws and ineptitude when it comes to operating, improving and developing our football club in this era.

16 Jul 2026 18:17:47
MN does not seem to understand that agents and other clubs will play hardball just like we do when selling players.

This guy has absolutely no clue about running a football club. His idea seems to be that he can throw a lowball offer in and expect the selling club to just accept it or refuse it but eventually come back and accept it.

He needs to be realistic when putting offers in as other clubs seem to manage to scoop up players without much fuss.

If we want a player, like Scarrachi who is for sale at 2m, why wouldn't we just pay that as he is worth that all day long.

We are worldclass at being amateurish.

You are bang on correct wee joe.

ED007 these press reports (yes I know it is the Scottish bun press) but if MON has really said he never got any assurances from DD over new players, to this Tim not only is it disappointing, but I am angry that Martin is just another @rse licker to DD will nobody show any guts and stand up to the Irish dictator.

16 Jul 2026 10:12:29
I really should not believe all the rubbish in the Scottish papers
Come on Martin PLEASE bring in players YOU think can help the team, and please buy before you let DD sell any more players.

16 Jul 2026 11:26:25
Tim all he said was he never asked for 12 players because what if he didn't get them he was being flippant, we'll have to just wait and see, no idea why Martin is getting it from this forum, bonkers.

16 Jul 2026 07:41:34
Anyone seen the minutes from the meeting in Ireland.

We are soooooooooo fvcked.

16 Jul 2026 09:03:19
No, what’s the story?

16 Jul 2026 09:39:32
Long term strategy - be best in Scotland, be sustainable, compete Europe ( no mention level) , players - we’re trying but hard to get them, difficult to deal with agents, easy ones are frees which there looking at,, few other things non football related, it isn’t good reading but minutes never are, and seemed quite a short q and a, if you want to know about signings, strategy, budgets, board changes, don’t waste time searching these minutes out for a read, stay hopeful some recent links to players n rumours are true and Nicholson hopefully learns how to get things done.

16 Jul 2026 10:16:32
Dear oh dear - thanks Jaa.

16 Jul 2026 10:18:13
Your just moaning mate. Celtic will have players in for CL ed told us. We are a well run machine according to some.

16 Jul 2026 12:45:04
That isn’t a strategy, that is a bare minimum expectation. That’ll be business as usual. These people need to be gone by any means, the sooner the better.

15 Jul 2026 22:08:38
Thank you Argentina😍.

15 Jul 2026 22:33:54
I am in Scarborough and thers actually Celtic n cream buns shouting for same team, my nephew asked wots worse Engurland winning WC or cream buns winning a corner🤣.

16 Jul 2026 03:14:46
When will be the next time Scotland get to the latest stages of a tournament? Did i say next? I meant first. The answer of course is never, or at least you will get the same odds as your club teams reaching the the knockout stages of European competitions, so again, never
You have no room to laugh or take the pi$$.

Same as club football. You call the PM the pub league. Really? If that's the case the SPL must be considered as lower than our League 2, or even non League, but that might be being generous.

16 Jul 2026 06:36:13
No offence is made towards your good selfs and its all in gist the players you have i hold nothing against they should be winning trophies. its the arrogance of your media every 2_3 years ramming it down everyones throat about them winning every tournament they go into.

our league is made to look poor because of the greed and money swirling around down south, look what happens when someone else can match that money i. e psg they will wipe the floor with any epl club.

16 Jul 2026 07:06:46
We feel your pain. 🤣.

16 Jul 2026 07:28:39
English tears are just as funny as Sevco tears and always will be 🤣🤣.

16 Jul 2026 08:20:45
Tommy Tickles tactic of parking the bus after going a goal up cost them dearly. The last 20 minutes was shooty in! Pleasing result as I had Spain and Argentina double on😁.

16 Jul 2026 11:07:50
RD, Engerland are the biggest under achievers in World football. Every other country from the big 5 in Europe have won numerous Euros and WC's. France, Spain, Germany and Italy then you have the big fish in South America, Argentina and Brazil numerous WC's and Copa Americas. England's record is abysmal for a Nation of that size😂.

15 Jul 2026 22:03:31
Footballs coming home.

16 Jul 2026 07:07:25
Change football to England and you have it right. 😛.

16 Jul 2026 07:41:28
All I will say is, the best team on the night won.

Alan Shearer summed it up, England are playing a team of men, champions.

15 Jul 2026 19:03:22
I have been pretty vocal on my mistrust of the Board for a long time but now is as bad as I can ever remember (and that includes the Kelly/ White dynasty) . We have the same old tired excuse every transfer window and we as fans know it's a smokescreen for gross incompetence. Its clear we need to strengthen almost all over the pitch and that has been the case for an age and yet we monitor, dither, monitor, consider, maybe even go as far as making a bid that is nowhere near good enough and lose out.

But aye Nicolson is working flat out to bring players in! Tell you what put me or any other fan in charge and we would by now 100% have Iheanacho and Sarrrcahi signed and sealed. Yes we may have paid slightly over the odds in wages but 1 is a freebie and the other £2m max. Our Board are a disgrace, particularly DD for standing by Nicolson.

15 Jul 2026 20:36:42
The difference between today’s board and the White’s and Kelly’s is that there is £70m+ lying in the bank which makes them worse than the old board because there is no need for it 🤔.

15 Jul 2026 21:13:18
Nicholson does what Dermot tells him, so that is why he is not sacked.

15 Jul 2026 22:44:45
Concentrate on bringing through our own young players, forget about big money transfer buys, just enjoy, win lose or draw our own young players growing into full first team players.

15 Jul 2026 18:53:17
Please tell me MON hasn't said that he didn't seek any assurances about budget and players coming in.
What is happening to everyone connected to the club.
This piss take can't continue much longer.
MON has to stop all the nonsense when he taking press conferences.
This isn't a night with MON at the comedy club.


Well it probably is the club are complete joke.
I used to think I don't want the club going into foreign ownership.
I genuinely thought that DD could redeem himself but am seriously loosing the plot with it all.
What will it take to get rid of him.

15 Jul 2026 19:56:07
JJ, I was thinking the same and was going to post but I’m honestly tired of the negativity with Celtic.

Nothing good is coming out of Celtic and MON is giving the vibes of being a puppet for DD.

A living legend of the club and he’s being left hung to dry.

15 Jul 2026 21:32:17
Getting really tired of MON with his flippant remarks to the media. Don’t think he realises how condescending and disrespectful he is being to the Celtic supporters who have legitimate concerns. Also wish he would stop referring to the resident golf pro as the owner.

He will be the one the board hang out if things go tits up while they hide in the corporate bar, he might not be so flippant if that happens.

15 Jul 2026 12:47:42
Another knock in the Hassan deal… this is getting tedious now the board are useless.

15 Jul 2026 18:34:37
There's a surprise!

15 Jul 2026 19:13:28
Read that MON has more or less dismissed us from signing players that have been at the World Cup.

15 Jul 2026 21:33:59
Jeez, they are already struggling just to get back what we had last season.
