If it's true that Eddie Howe will be Tottenham's manager in the next few hours then good riddance. I also don't care what anyone says I would love Mourinho as the club's next manager. It would be very interesting to see how Christie and Eddy would get on with someone that doesn't take any crap! HH.

Can't see spurs going for howe.

Seen Keane, s name linked again. no fing chance and this harkin as dof is dragging on as much as the manager. get this sorted ASAP hoops. you owe it to the fans.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well there's a hold up somewhere if Howe is to become the next Celtic manager. Spurs might just be the club he's holding out for.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Julian Nagelsmann can expect a call from London.}

19 Apr 2021 20:02:16
I'm with you on Mourinho Michael. I'd take him in a heartbeat. If there's nothing in the pipeline we at least need to pick up the phone and ask the question.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - If Jose HATED living in Manchester then I can't see him rolling up in Glasgow, Del.}

19 Apr 2021 20:26:09
Nothing wrong with asking the question Del, Ed I know what you mean regarding living in Glasgow but surely worth a phone call?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - If I was Dominic McKay I don't think Jose Mourinho laughing down the phone at me in your first couple of days in the job would be the best start - and that's even if he picked up.
So you want Celtic to just forget all the work and planning they've done because Mourinho's left Spurs? Wouldn't that just show what some have said about there being no plan or direction?}

19 Apr 2021 20:46:31
what and you would be surprised if that was the case?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Yes.}

19 Apr 2021 20:48:21
And you say all the work and planning? How do you known that there is planning going on? Cause from what I see its all the same rubbish that's been happening from the first day of the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Well we've got rid of a manager and the CEO who has been replaced and we've spoken to potential DOFs and manager(s) do you think that just happened with no planning and the football fairies sorted it out?}

19 Apr 2021 20:58:09
I've got 0% trust in this football club at the moment which is totally understandable. I'm actually worried we haven't really spoken to anyone but that's just my opinion and it probably means nothing to most but that's just the way it goes.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's probably a lot feel the same, Mikey but there's work being done. Hope everything's going OK mate 👍

19 Apr 2021 21:06:54
Everything is going 100% better than a few months ago thanks for asking. Other than Celtic ruining my life at the moment haha!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍 Get your bahooky on the podcast as well.}

19 Apr 2021 21:19:55
I've been in the live chat every episode so far. I'm really enjoying hearing from everyone that's been commenting for years!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍

19 Apr 2021 21:32:17
If your ever needing any extras on the podcast to talk nonsense then i'm available haha!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Good man, get Skype set up and add me at live:ed007 and we'll get that sorted out 👍

Patience is a virtue 🙏.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 21:48:14
I still think it will be Howe, but I would not be surprised if he is not named as manager untill after last game of season.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The only reason I can think of for that being the case is that the rumours of him still being paid by Bournemouth (on gardening leave) are accurate.}

19 Apr 2021 21:50:59
No bother Ed I’ll get that added 👍.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - 👍

19 Apr 2021 22:24:29
Del boy and Michael. get a grip!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 22:32:58
My gut feeling is a plan is in place with regards to DOF and manager. I don't think the manager will be Howe though.

I just meant if nothing is in place or goalposts had been moved I'd be quite happy with Mourinho if it worked for both parties. Its pie in the sky stuff like Rafa but if you don't ask you don't get.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2021 00:59:02
Mourinho is never coming to Celtic. A young up and coming manager who will use us a stepping stone to a bigger league is the best we can do. Same with players. We might be a club with a big history but in this money driven football world we are no longer a big club.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2021 08:38:27
Howe has criticised the esl so I doubt he is going spurs.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2021 13:26:34
Nagelsmann will go to Spurs and March will replace Nagelsmann at Leipzig. No way will Howe be on Spurs' radar.

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Apr 2021 14:18:03
Jose is anti football - Watching Spurs play is worse than watching Celtic

Jose is finished as a manager, his way of playing football is no longer giving him the results he once managed to get at Inter.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Apr 2021 21:23:53
Is it possible that The Chief Executive is going to appoint the DOF and that between them they will select the manager?
Managerial candidates will obviously been interviewed just like Welsh has had an extended contract without a manager.
It might be that Howe was interviewed, is interested but advised that the decision will be made in due course by DOF and Chief Executive as that’s part of their remit surely.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lucien Favre now in the running to become next Celtic manager. The Swiss unemployed former Dortmund manager is on shortlist to replace Neil Lennon and is believed to have had talks with the clubs hierarchy over the role.
I think he would be a good acquisition personally.

This is more like it. Hope its true, Bring in Harkin and Maresca to support him.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 10:33:37
Jose has been sacked can we go for him or will spurs go for Howe Dun dun dun.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 10:35:15
GGGG, the last I read he was looking for 75K a week to manage in Turkey?

If he was affordable then he has the C. V. to do a job for us but it will be closer to 75 empty Irn Bru bottles than 75K 😄

I'd imagine much will depend on the incoming D. O. F.

No way jose, cheat.

Jose will always be 'that Porto manager'.

Cheetin basa.

Pedro 71 if he was looking for €70k in Turkey I think it shows that he is a potential candidate. What I’m saying is if he’s willing to manage in Turkey then I think he’s a realistic option.
I think we could stretch to £40k and perhaps a bonus for Champions league qualification of another £1m.

No one is in the running. This board have shut down. They don’t care anymore. Kennedy will be announced in September.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 14:35:52
If there was one reason for me giving up my season ticket it would be if he got the job.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 16:04:00
Today was the day to announce a new manager. The fact we haven’t done it says we aren’t even close. Probably aren’t even looking.
Lawwell is waiting for Kennedy to go for a shower. Kennedy probably deliberately hasn’t washed in weeks so he doesn’t get ambushed.

19 Apr 2021 16:25:09
Degsy that’s pathetic.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 16:47:09
Degsy, if my teenage bhoy came out with patter like that, I would be disappointed and he's only known Celtic winning trophies, year after year, since he was 7 years of age.

What makes you think we aren't close? Seriously, come on.

There's no one on this site that's happy, well maybe except for Hoops88 but that's a by the by.

Let's see what transpires and in the meantime keep the faith.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 17:02:51
Degsy I thought it was funny 🤷‍♂️.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 17:23:47
GGGG, as ever it will come down to the board and you're right, hypothetically he's an option and by all accounts a good coach 👍.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Apr 2021 22:33:29
We are all on tenderhooks here, but to come out wi pish like that is just lazy and poor.

Agree0 Disagree0
