    It’s a risky one for sure :giggle1:

    Just feels like we’ve been through the ringer with transfer disappointments so often that it’s all a bit unnerving to see it go so well.

    Waiting for them to announce the sale of CalMac or someone just to keep us on line :giggle1:

    Beginning to think we’re signing all these midfielders to cover for injuries with our high tempo Ange way of playing, anyone know what injuries were like with his previous club’s. And I’m no complaining, I’m as excited about going back to games as everyone else, I’m just interested and happily shocked at the difference from a lawwell window

    The more rest players get, the less they get injured mate. As simple as that. If we can get everybody’s games down so they aren’t always playing 3 games a week with little rest, you’ll see injuries go down.

    Still don’t think he’s had enough credit for winning a trophy only a few months after inheriting a * show

    imagine if slippy had won league cup in his first season the media would have been in a frenzy about it fir months afterwards

    ange success hardly gets a mention now

    A great analogy for celtic during transfer windows tbh.

    I imagine the inevitable Jota and CCV deals falling through will be the equivalent of the dinner in said microwave being laced with laxatives.

    There's no point bringing up old posts mate. We just came off one of the worst seasons in our recent history and saw the Eddie Howe deal fall through. Ange was an unknown to us and looked like a cheap fix for the board. Think there was only one or two people on here who wanted Ange in at the time.

    Thankfully we've all got egg on our faces and Ange is absolutely smashing it.

    Happy to admit I was underwhelmed at his appointment given I knew nothing about the guy and initially thought it was the cheap panic option after howe * us about.
    Also happy to admit I got it wrong and he has been a great appointment and hopefully will continue to build on what he has done so far.

    Yes, it's time to move on from 'I told you so's" and 'egg on face' and 'humble pie' etc
    The * response to Ange's appointment was entirely understandable given the timing and all that had a gone before.

    A couple of additional points:
    There are quite a number of positives that flow from Ange being unknown and coming from non European football management background...
    • He has had to manage on much smaller budgets and so, as he is beginning to demonstrate, he can spot a player bargain. All of the signings so far this window have real potential to substantially increase their value while at Celtic. His 'buy low/sell high' approach is likely to net Celtic big transfer sums in the future
    • He has had to manage with much less in the way of backroom staff so he is more used to doing a lot of things himself. He seems to have his hands on a lot of levers at present, and the Board, to their credit, now seem willing to support him. That will probably change over time.
    • He has never managed in a true football culture before so he would be relishing this Celtic experience - big time. It will be giving him heaps of energy and it is one of the reasons why I think he will stay at Celtic for awhile

    Celtic fans must be walking a foot off the ground at the moment. I know I am.
    All these transfers and good players coming in thick and fast is making me light headed with anticipation of more to come.

    It's so obvious on Sky sports news. It's all Rangers this and Rangers that..

    This is a really good article...particularly the last paragraphs
