    There’s no doubt in my mind he’s been on the phone with Brendan recently almost everyday




    Desmond If he can fix the problem he’ll step in like the hero he believes he is

    Do you think Brendan knows who the leak is?

    That is the best press conference I've ever seen him give.

    Reading between the lines, it seems quite likely I was completely wrong about the role of Lawwell in all this.

    What do you think


    Someone speaking to Alan Preston who then tells Roger Hannah


    Hugh Keevins saying person X told him via phone call that Person X isn’t responsible for transfers




    Off the record briefing happening a wee bit more

    The smirk and wink says it all. Think it will be pretty clear over the next few weeks when a few are out the door.

    He just gave a masterclass in how to say "Peter Lawwell" without once mentioning the name "Peter Lawwell".

    Was just about to post the exact same thing.

    Handled like a complete pro. Saying he wants a new deal with the condition of aligned philosophies is a complete power move

    Rhetorical question?

    Didn't you see that little wink when asked? He knows and he told us without uttering a name. It was all in who he didn't give a mention.......

    Feel a bit sorry for Nicholson and McKay.

    Working on Christmas day means their own families like them even less than we do.

    Man, it's a * of an interview. Both of them, actually. No punches pulled.

    Glad everyone else noted that he praised everyone other than Lawwell. Everyone got the 'good guy' treatment, leaving Lawwell hanging as the presumed 'coward'. Pointed right at him by deliberately not pointing at him. Masterfully done.

    And he's spilt the beans on the Idah and Maeda situations, as well as confirming promises were broken to him about the state of recruitment. And calling for the 'leaker' to resign.

    Honestly the best interview I can remember a Celtic manager giving.
