    Couldn't DD boot them from the board, then? Assuming he wants the changes implemented. A big if.

    he likely could but doesnt want to himself, id * love to know whats going on in that boardroom, and what the different board members offer to the club

    i think this is it! the fans want the club modernized, some at the club (maybe not the boardroom though) think we need to modernize, to create a modern footballing operations side with the appropriate staff

    but the board are resistant to it, believing (falsely in my opinion) that the decade of success we've had without it means its an re-organization and expense the club doesn't need and would strip powers away from the board or cause them more hassle/problems and they dont want it for selfish reasons

    Some one on Twitter linked to the board pointed out how the second biggest shareholder wanted an update last July because of COVID to make sure money wasn’t getting blasted about tells me all I need to know clubs being run to make sure share price doesn’t go down dramatically difference between us going for a target above certain players we got last season the difference between McGinn talking a million pound here half a million pound their it’s a disgrace and they should never have been allowed to get their claws in

    I'm not suprised the Harkin rumour came to nothing as I've spent the last 3 months wondering why the man City loans manager is qualified enough to be the DOF of Celtic.

    What is bewildering and shambolic in equal measure is that if we are pursuing the DOF model why there has been such little speculation about alternative candidates actually suitable for the job.

    If there had been genuine ambition regarding the DoF position, why let it drag on? Surely it would have been sorted in good time before the appointment of the new manager?

    And how much power will the DoF have? Not very much is my guess, which in turn makes this whole exercise more or less meaningless.

    My own personal opinion,based on nothing ha ha,is if a DoF does come in,he will be the main guy,signing players,setting club philosophy ect,only basing this on who looks like coming in as head coach,think Ange will be doing the coaching and picking the team,nothing else?

    GORDON STRACHAN is being lined up for a dramatic return to Celtic.

    The former Hoops boss, 64, is expected to be offered a new senior role at the club. Strachan has been working as technical director with Dundee — but now he is poised for a move back to Glasgow in a similar position.

    The ex-Scotland boss is admired by Celtic owner Dermot Desmond from his time at the club.

    And he is just the right type of experienced figure they need in an upstairs job.

    Hoops have brought in Aussie coach Ange Postecoglou after failing to land Eddie Howe.

    But they are pretty thin on the ground for people with expertise of the Scottish game.

    Manchester City’s Football Partnerships and Pathways Manager Fergal Harkin turned down a move to head up Celtic’s recruitment and transfer team, so that position has to be filled.

    Strachan could look after that department among other areas if he fancies the move back to the club where he had a successful four-year spell as boss.

    And it would also mean he would be working with son Gavin

    If this is true, it absolutely reeks of nepotism and by extension, incompetence.
