    He probably looks good sitting in or around the bench with a clipboard or an iPad, scribbling notes giving off the view he’s actually doing something of value..the amount of this pretentious * that has crept into the game in recent years is comical and worst of all they probably think they are hoodwinking us all

    Sack this *.

    Of everyone involved with this shambolic window, from Boyata to Lawwell, he is the most incompetent, useless name involved with the club, someone of who there is absolutely nothing of good to talk about. Don't we like saving money? This waste of oxygen earns as much as a good player.

    Playing FM a couple of hours a day would yield better results than this *.

    I have no idea what he does so it's difficult to blame him for recruits.

    If he did scout those who we have signed, it's odd that all our problems could be fixed by players who ply their trade in the top flight in Scotland. We've never looked there. Absolute gold mine find there.

    PLEASE GET HIM OUT THE CLUB. No wonder Sunderland fans rejoiced when he left. A waste of a wage and has done nothing.

    If it's true that we had money to spend,but we didn't. Such as we actually made a bid for McKenna and the others, and then we had no other options scouted to chase after - then it's on congerton.

    If it turns out we we didn't actually bid for any one and we didn't have the money made available to chase after half decent players, then the blame can start to go towards the board and lawwell.

    If we never bothered to chase anyone at all, bar McKenna after the boyata fiasco, because we felt we were fine, then blame goes towards Rodgers

    Indeed. I know of free agents we should've signed for our defense- and I only play * FM. Congerton is supposed to be a pro.:celtman2:

    Swear to * any one of us could do this * job, probably better. 5 minute search on football manager of the reserve squads of teams that are better than us and the players that played best against us in the league this season.

    The bit of this I find most difficult to understand is us apparently having no targets identified for centre back or striker because we 'didn't expect to lose players'.

    Surely we should have targets in EVERY area of the pitch. Surely in this day and age the Head of Recruitment has access to some sort of database of pretty much every player in world football that is easily searchable based on certain attributes (something like Football Manager but obviously more advanced) and we have a list of viable targets at differing price points for all of our players leaving?

    What would we have done if Dembele or Boyata had broken their leg last week - surely we would haven't just said 'sorry - we didn't have a target'?

    Congerton and his team will be on good money at Celtic, what are they spending their days doing? We have signed:

    Eddy - who we already had
    Arzani - who we got through our Man City connection
    Bain - who we already had
    Benkovic - a 7 figure purchase into the Premier Leage this summer, hardly a gem unearthed from nowhere
    Izzy - who we had previously

    We made bids on:

    McKenna - a panic move for an average SPL player
    McGinn - on the back of performances against us so no scouting needed

    Am I missing anything here? What the * are we paying these guys for?

    I'm actually in agreement with you! Any of those three would be good for even a short term contract. If it was to work out, I three are class players.

    Was just making the point that congerton probably hasn't even heard of them

    Subsequent to this Window now we know it’s * all.

    Based on that you would probably do a better job their is people on here on player suggestions because of their passion for the club have targeted player and made a well * good list of people who would make a difference that * congerton has no passion at all
