    I'd imagine they wanted McKay to unveil Howe or at least make it look like he had a part in hiring him, so that the new manager couldn't be depicted as Lawwell's man.

    Anyway, the whole thing's a complete shambles.

    It's genuinely no exaggeration so say there are pub teams that are better managed.

    I honestly believe that our board are shell shocked. Really believe that and for a long time.

    Sorry Matteo, we seem to have accidentally shredded all applicants except Fergal. We're trying to piece you're mobile number back together, unless you'd be kind enough to email it back over.

    I’ll take you seriously when you learn to spell manager properly

    Yip plenty of arrogance. They have played the fans for years now.

    Completely agree. I think they are running about like headless chickens behind the scenes and are genuinely surprised at the situation they find themselves in. I think they thought it'd be a walk in the park and that most would jump at the opportunity as they're so unaware and out of touch that they don't realise that we are run completely amateurish compared to some league one teams in England.

    Not one member of the Celtic support thinks they're doing a mediocre job at best. If they shat the bed with a few metal fences for us in October, can you imagine when the fans are allowed to attend? They'll be more fans outside the stadium than in and they'll be rightfully demanding blood.

    This is the worst period of time for us since the 90s and it is entirely their fault. The writing has been on the wall for a while, we warned them that this would happen but they have failed to act and now it's too late.

    They’ve been out of their depth for years.

    The huns won 3 in a row before they died and had they not hired their worst ever manager they probably would’ve won 4. Lawwell would’ve been out of a job there and then.

    He got a few free years after they died (which he still * up) then would’ve been removed again if Desmond didn’t get the * ripped out of him so went for Rodgers (bypassing Lawwell).

    Since Rodgers left Lawwell has continued to be calamitous.

    Insanely lucky circumstance have given Lawwell 15 more years that he was due. He’s always been out of his depth. To me it looks like McKay will be too.

    More chance of hiring Bruno Tonoili.

    And this is why fans need to stay away not buy tickets merchandise etc.

    We need to show them fan power. Without us there is no Celtic.

    These * at the helm are so far gone regarding the clubs values and ethos they would sell their own * family to get a bonus.

    * scunnered yet again. We are a * laughing stock!

    I don't think we will get a DOF.

    Cheap Manager, Kennedy and Strachan. The new rugby *.

    Nothing to see here.

    Really couldn’t GAF at this point and really don’t agree that it’s the most important appointment we’ll make either.

    Think that might be an opinion formed because we’re bringing in a guy in his mid 50’s managing the 9th best Japanese team to manage the most almighty rebuild you could possibly imagine.

    Instead of pinning our hopes on the DOF being decent why don’t we just sack the position off and bring in a good, proven, forward thinking manager.

    Maybe its just me but i do not remember the club in the past releasing statements about not getting people signed,its normally say * all and move onto the next * person on the ladder at the bottom. They know things are bad when they have started releasing statements on failing.
