I've heard Vieira been mentioned and with Edouard making a post on social media claiming "he can't wait for the fans to be back" may stay if Patrick comes in.

Ange Postecoglou Sky Bet favourite and currently manages or did in the Japanese league and a former Australian head coach has a good winning background also knowing the Asian market very well and with our board been money men they could benefit with taking the manager in and some hidden gems from Asia who'll also sell shirts in that region.

English pundits are saying Howe didn't like the player transfer/ recruitment put towards him.
Scottish media saying it's his back room staff that didn't want to come to Glasgow.

At the end of the day us fans deserve answer and better treatment from the club as we are the ones who line their pockets, I don't think Dom MacKay is aware of the mess he got himself into and our fans will point the finger at him if things continue in this manner but it looks like it's further up the line the problems are coming from.

Club will get hit hard again this season if they don't make a move the fans will appreciate and it'll have to be a good one after so many let downs in one season. Letting our bitter rivals leapfrog us like they have after been so far clear is outrageous.

Just a thought. With what's went on recently. If I was a 40 something manager from England financially well off and could take a pick of many clubs Celtic should be one of them. But with what's went on in the last few weeks riots fair enough that was the so called other half but petrol bombs and life being put at risk I know I'd have a job getting my Mrs up to lala land 😀.

Rogic was quoted saying he can’t wait to get back to work for the new season and I heard a bit of chat asking why and now we have a little known australian as favourite for the job just sayin fs but wouldn’t surprise me I remember only to well the names in the running for the job a few years ago and then we got THE RONNIE ROAR FS

Dave16 could work out well with Harkin set to come in from Man City and Ange coming in from Yokohama who are owned by the “City Group” who are also involved in Man City. Maybe with a bit of luck the “City Group” may buy Celtic to 😂
I know nothing about this guy but he’s done things with everything club he managed at least that’s a wee positive. Plus Harkin was the transfer guru at City and they’ve got a unbelievable amount of young talent out on loan to clubs and just makes our relationship stronger with them.

When will people get into their heads that nowadays Celtic isn’t some big job that managers will jump at? Iam not too fussed about Eddie Howe situation either I think it will be a blessing in disguise. The guy didn’t want to come unless he had everything his own way.

He said he would never go to Celtic.

Rich, Lamber signed for us back in 97 mate and has since hung up his playing boots. I know now you're out in Lanark so the news of him signing might just be getting to you lol
In all seriousness though, I don't think any of us have any idea who the next manger is likely to be but after the statement Celtic put out today I expect an announcement next week. I hope we're not disappointed!

It's nice to see Lambert is clearly still Celtic through and through -"The club is bigger than anybody. Whoever gets the job is going to be walking into a great club. "

Son sent me a text Steve Clark I don't know any more. I'm just going to wait and see. I was also wondering what the players think about all this. Are they ambitious ones going to walk. We will know very soon.

I'm shocked TBH. I honestly thought it was a done deal.
Wonder what the reason are which are outwith both his and Celtic’s control?

Very strange statement. Ever who comes in now is up against it. Media will have a field day with second choice statements.

28 May 2021 17:51:56
Just shows how much of an amature club we are at times. To allow it go on for so long without doing the proper homework on all parties required is shocking. We are a complete laughing stock.

The reports it's regarding backroom staff smells fishy. Surely if the wait was regarding the coaching/ technical staff joining it would have been discussed well in advance?

Lads I asked on podcast weeks ago if their was a bigger problem at Celtic Park and called out Dermot Desmond our absentee landlord who to date has been silent. I haven’t renewed season ticket but it was a formality as was ma laddies but for the first time in half a decade I’m asking myself should I? Here’s the craic. Last year you paid £600 and didn’t watch a game. This year can we have £600 again please but we don’t know who the manager is or if you’ll be allowed into the stadium but give us your money anyway. Now it’s the manager deal is belly up but deadline date for paying is 25.06.21. Oh and here’s a £50 voucher which we hope makes up for a c**t of a season when we were found sleeping at the wheel. (Please note expiry date) . Come on to feck Celtic or I may decide Mary’s Meals and Albion Rovers are more deserving of my hard earned cash.

28 May 2021 21:04:17
Maybe Howe and his team of coaches seen the intimidation of Lawell and decided that’s not for them.

{Ed007's Note - Let's hope Man Utd aren't looking for him to replace Ole then after what their fans done recently.}

28 May 2021 16:57:33
Now Ange Postecoglou is suddenly bookies favourite. So this link may sound a bit tedious but here goes.

Fergal Harkin is been widely tipped to be director of football. He’s currently high up at Man City, but this would be a promotion.

Current clubs owned by city football group:
Man City
New York City
Melbourne City
Yokohama Marinos
Montevideo City
Plus a few others.

Current manager of Yokohama Marinos is. 🥁

Ange Postecoglou.

Someone knows something about why a manager who has never been mentioned is now favourite for the job.

I think there would be uproar if this is the case.

Supposedly the Howe Deal was dead weeks ago and Celtic is now in advanced talks with Lucian Favre who in my opinion is a far more superior candidate for the role. I understand fans anger but if you look into Favre (hopefully true) you will see how good the guy is. I'm actually surprised we can get him to Scotland but if it's true I'd be over the moon. HH.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

28 May 2021 16:32:14
I hope you’re correct Mikey. Farce is an excellent candidate. My question would be though if the deal was dead weeks ago, why have we waited so long to progress with Farve. It’s a rhetorical question mate, I’m not looking for an answer.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:43:24
I think Howe has just been a big smokescreen, Yes I would've liked Howe but if it's True about Favre then that's even better. If anyone on this forum had a choice between the two 99% would pick Favre and rightly so. Like I've said I understand the fans reaction but if you sit back and look at the situation and if true Farve will be announced soon we are in business with this guy as he is one of the best around. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:47:55
Favre would do for me just a mess all around though IF the deal for Howe is dead. And IF it's because he couldn't assemble his back room team then that should have been sought long ago make sure everything and everyone was in place. Total disaster from a club and board point of view. Another reason a lot of that board should move over because it looks like they don't have a clue. As for Howe I am disappointed in him he could have and should have sounded out the people he wanted for his back room staff. Before stringing Celtic along.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:55:09
yeah mate i would rather Favre i dint really want howe.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 May 2021 17:10:51
It will be interesting now if Howe gets another job, will he get the Bournemouth staff? Or will it be a deal breaker like it was for us . Will it ultimately mean we didn’t want to pay for his staff and sports scientists?

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 17:15:21
I don't believe anything till June 2nd bit I believe there will be a shock and a good one HH.

Hope you are right mickey. If we are only trying to get someone in now this has gone tits up we are in real trouble.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:19:51
67 hail hail have reported what the club says to them howe asked the club for time for Bournemouth season to finish that he would take the job so the club granted him time thinking it would all be done. now howe is saying he can't assemble the backroom staff he wants for up in Scotland and family obligations that's why deal is off. club is advanced talks with another candidate. howe has basically done us over.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

28 May 2021 16:34:01
If that’s true UI then the Celtic board really aren’t fit for purpose. If there were any indications that a deal for Howe could potentially hit snags we should have hit it on the head and moved onto the next candidate immediately.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:53:37
Fully agree iceman. How can we put all our eggs in one basket. With all due respect it howe not rafa we were going for. The board have given him far too much say and time in what was happening here. The big fear we all had was what if does happen where do we go. Now any other candidate knows they were second choice at best. This board never seem to learn.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:54:06
think it hit its snag today mate. suppose to be in talks with favre.
i didn't really want howe anyway mate i says it on the podcast and i says it on here to he didn't really excite me but i would have got behind him. Favre excites me.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 16:58:50
Exactly Barry, this should have been provisionally agreed weeks ago between all parties involved even if they weren't able to officially commit to it until the season was over.

Disgraceful and shambolic IF it's true. HH.

Until we get rid of the board of Tory barsteward rubbishbags we are going nowhere but down. They coukdnt run a few feet. I detest every one of them. rubbishbags and useless. Nobody 8s surprised because we know how osthet8c they are. If I hear 9ne person saying Lawell is s good b7snessmsn I will feckin scream. A cheap skate prick who failed 9 out 12 times to qualify for the CL. A cheap skate can't. He needs to take the rest of them. with him.

Good player when fit plenty experience and great left foot and a free, might be a shrewd move,

UI, those stats are for his entire PL career. According to the PL's own website, since 2017/ 18 when he joined Burnley he has been injured a lot and has only played 67 times in total (some as starts, some as a sub) and scored 3 times.
Anyway, let's not get hung up on stats, he wouldn't be for me. HH.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 May 2021 12:41:09
career total app 274 27 goals. 87 times for Burnley 48 starts.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 12:43:10
Maybe a pay as you play would be interesting for Celtic maybe not the player? But I think that's the only way Celtic would and should be interested in him. Good player when fit but too injury prone.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 12:50:10
Yeah I think he's hadva tough time with injuries. Could be a gamble.

Not good enough for Burnley then sorry not good enough for us. We need to aim fir better than that.
Prefer hungry young Scots who have proved it in our league or decent standard elsewhere to guys released from bottom 1/ 4 BPL teams.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 15:01:27
Probably the most risk free option Tony2Bhoy. I'd only have him as a 3rd choice LB back up and back up for LW would expect quality LB and LW signings on top of him still. If he has a decent season then sign him for longer.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 May 2021 07:32:04
My mates (security at Paradise) just text to say he won't be needed today but to be on standby for bank holiday Monday.
Oh well it seems like the wait to continues.
