Celtic Rumours Archive April 09 2021

unless howe has signed and they are delaying the announcement for some reason, he is playing us. We are Celtic, we shouldn't be played by anyone. walk away from this! ralf rangnick. break the bank. please. lucien farvre is likeable because he is foreign and managed reasonable clubs. should have done better at dortmund but that's my personal opinion. we want someone to change the infrastructure that man is ralf. what I can see happening is maresca because we have identified harkin as the best candidate for dof. the way this is dragging out ain't gd. makes us look like we don't have a clue. the board have had since January to sort this and we are still in limbo. not good folks.

It’s not football manager, there is lots off things and complications from both sides, it all takes time and effort.

It always takes time for us to do anything. My question is why? To me he isn't convinced of he would be here. He's working us to get a better offer from a real league. Go on prove me wrong Eddy.

If he hasn't proved me wrong by early next week it moves to, this is going to end up another humiliation given wall to wall by the Sevco press. Give him a deadline then move on. It's getting embarrassing.

Magicpole who's to say we already haven't moved onto the next potential manager? If Howe has shown any sort of sign that he might not be 100% for the cause i can see the board and DD assuming he might go elsewhere therfore move onto the next target, also who's to say Eddie Howe is top target? Only the papers and online click bait sites have mentioned it, oh yeah an let's not forget the betting market who have no doubt made a pretty buck off the fans but saying he is now favourite etc lol i personally think movement will happen once the new CEO comes in as he will be the one working closely with the footballing side of things to ensure the right staff are hired for whatever structure there will be in place for next season after all he will be the one the rumoured DOF (if that's our way forward) will have to have a good relationship with to move the club forward and he will want to be a part of that process i can imagine. This is something that can't be rushed IMO, does any fan believe they can afford to get this wrong? I for one don't think we can afford to get this wrong, not with what's up for grabs for the league champions next season. Patience is key and good things will come to those who wait, we get this right we could blow the league out the water and dominate.

come the summer we will need at least 2 new strikers. its been reported josh king will be on a free if its howe then a good chance he will go for him another striker i would suggest is assombalonga of Middlesbrough he will be on a free to big powerful and knows were the net is. this would be two great strikers for free. would free up cash to strengthen the defence a lot better.

I agree with you UI, sorting the defence is going to be a massive task in the summer and will take up most of our budget. Josh King is a funny one. He's only really had a couple of very good seasons in his whole career - scoring 16 and 12. That doesn't seem like a lot but for Bournemouth who aren't one of the big boys, don't get far in the cups or play in Europe, that's pretty impressive. He also has a strike rate of 1 in 3 for Norway which is very good. For me, it's a bit like Sinclair; he'd be teaming up with a manager who gets the best from him and it could potentially just click perfectly. The fact that Klimala and Ajeti don't look up to it also means I'd be inclined to keep Griff and a big unit like King could be the perfect partner for him.

We layed out 5 mill on ajeti on the back of 1 good season 3 years ago. we need proven players at our price., easier said than done tho.

Two right backs, a Left back, two CB'S, preferably not guys who can't defend woukd make a lovely change. Replacements for Christie and Eddy. Plus two more strikers. Bring back Shved or get another winger. A goalie wouldn't be the the daftest suggestion either. That's 11 players. With our usual speed when trying to get a player, I predict they are all here by next season. The above is why we need the manager in, or at least directing recruitment now. Waiting until June to start this will be another absolute shambles. Board, make a decision.

Virtually need a new team and a Manager but the board apologists are telling everyone the club is run brilliant. Bank balance csc it's the new era.

Great shout UI - that would be an exciting two upfront to get and would give us barring the big wages resources to attack this shaky defence. I would stick to the EFL to look for defenders as I believe there is a lot of talent down south that could do a better job than we have.

I would have either to replace the back up strikers if they're moved on but would still expect someone better to replace Eddy.
