    I get what you're saying, but at the same time we're obviously a * riot even if you put this Howe stuff to one side.

    I wouldn’t say riot. We won 9 in a row it’s not like we are at deaths door. It shouldn’t have happened but come on. Getting worked up and then despondent over nothing more than rag rumours is embarrassing.

    Disappointing that it sounds like their will be no announcements anytime soon. Kennedy’s quote about the seasons books makes me think they’ll be nothing before then sounds as if he was getting us prepared for that. Can’t see why a manager would say something like that when we are meant to think that the board don’t make decisions/announcements because of renewals, even though we all know they do and they know it too.

    It's definitely been a riot mate. Under certain circumstances you can still achieve success while being run terribly in the background. For example, the Huns nearly got 4 in a row and got to a European final just before they died. I don't mean to say we're in financial trouble, only to say that everything we've seen suggests our CEO and board are grossly underqualified.

    I agree we shouldn't get worked up over what the rags say, but we sit here in April without a manager.

    Can we really have any reasonable faith in the team that appointed Lennon in the showers to get it right? (Not to mention our shambolic transfer record, statements and Dubai trips).

    The board can settle everyone's hysteria really quickly by communicating effectively with the fans - but they don't and the reason for that is incompetence. They don't know what they're doing and they shouldn't be in charge of our club (Looking at you, Dermot).

    The void is filled by the rags.

    Calm down yourself and read the post, I said IF this is the issue, and only commented on it after seeing this post:

    I don't even know who the * "Johnjames" is, I'm replying to a post on a message board around manager speculation. Isn't that what we are all doing?

    Be honest though, after the utter incompetence and negligence demonstrated by the club in the last few years (this season spectacularly) would you even be surprised? "Get a grip".. It's hardly unfathomable that we would force coaches on a new manager, just see our recent history ffs. No one's getting worked up here, I don't read or believe the newspapers (front or back).

    Howe will be announced the week beginning 19th April, if we were to lose to the huns in the cup the weekend before. It undermines Kennedy to announce Howe while we still have anything to play for, plus it would a PR disaster to announce Howe now, lose to the huns then ask for season tickets renewals.

    Renewals will be out off the back of either us knocking the huns out the cup, or off the back of Howe being announced. It’s all about creating a positive vibe around that.

    For the sake of speculation, if that's the way we're thinking then we're way off.

    Undermining Kennedy should be any sort of issue. PR is not an issue either.

    The biggest PR problem this club has is the board have been caught out as arrogant and incompetent. Not to mention the disgraceful way they treated the support this season. (I'm gutted that supporters have already forgotten this).

    The best PR they can do is make a quality appointment as manager, get a football director in and start appointing scouts, coaches, backroom staff and a new plan for our youth system to get us to the European level. Fannying about worrying about a match against the huns should be the last thing they are thinking about.

    If they make serious positive change renewals won't be a problem. I would suggest if they don't do that then regardless of any results the supporters should be boycotting until the board are removed.

    I don't think anyone knows anything. Let's be honest.

    We go round in circles on this before any appointment, player or manager.

    Sure Peter lawell or anyone else on the board aren't even in the know.

    If things are as far away as reported Id say Howe didn't really realise the size of the club and support and the fanfare involved. He got an armchair ride from the media and fans at Bournemouth.

    Nobody knows jack * the media had Keane as good as appointed we all bought it, they did the same with Howe we all bought, people said oh he can’t sign it’s the Easter holidays the stock market is closed he’s house hunting, * after * nobody knows anything and it wouldn’t shock me if we end up with someone nobody is even thinking of.

    This isnt the reason why hes not signing! Behave yourself. Do you think Celtic would risk losing him all because of what you think they are holding off for.
