The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

I can actually see the resemblence there

West Brom been approached, its a waiting game now

Back of Daily Ranger today - WBA looking £2 million for Mogga! well for that price they can go away a fcek themselves!



Yogi Hughes appointed manager of Hibs - will now be removed from poll.

Fast running out of candidates if Mowbray isn't recruited. £2m is a small price to pay for the right man. We'll end up with Neil Lennon and Willie Mc Stay otherwise

Tone for slightly less then £2 million we could have had Martinez.

Maybe at the same price, Mobray is a better gamble.

If Mowbray comes then Fletcher and Fortune will be our only summer signings imo - I also have a feeling that Mogga will just be another yes man for Desmond.

Taken from Scotsman fans forum;

Just been reading about the Peace Cup in Seville at the end of July. It was publicised earlier that the Champions of Scotland would be invited. I note that Rangers have NOT been invited and that the organisers have reverted to Plan B and invited someone else. So in other words, the Scottish Champions were welcome, as long as it wasn't Rangers.

Pariah FC right enough eh? Rangers and the Peace Cup? It just sounds very incongruous, doesn't it?

I am just looking at it from a Celtic Board point of view.
The minimum goal to win back the title. Mobray would be a better gamble for that target.
Mobray knows the Scotiish league game, as well as experience with promotion to the EPL, as well as managing in the EPL.
He is a proven competent manager.

I'd have no idea how he would get on with rebuilding a team that could compete with some distinction in the CL.

Whoever comes needs at least 2 years to achieve this, if after 2 yrs we are still now further forward re: CL then time to look again. I'm not saying we would have any success after 2 years, just "competing with some distinction".

Mark McGhee has joined the sheep shaggers as manager, will now take him off the poll.
Worrying how little news is coming out of Paradise at the minute about anything!
we have two CL qualifers to play at the end of July!

What do you make of the "hitch" in Martinez joining Wigan? Could it be that the board realising that Mowbray was costing £2m figured this amount and maybe a little more would be better spent on Martinez?

The only news coming out of Paradise is about the launch that silly international kit with the hideous tartan stripe

Read yesterday that Wigan wanted to pay Swansea the money next week and parade Martinez yesterday, Swansea said feck off money up front! 

Worryingly have read on a number of forums that Keane's name is floating round Paradise! (most likely a load of shite).

[T Fearon]

Keane would be a disaster, but I would discount this. As apparently it was known for quite a while Strachan was leaving, surely if the Board had wanted Keane they would have warned him off the Ipswich job which he only took a few weeks ago

supposedly the problem is that martinez wants his own backroom team from swansea (therefore more compensation for swansea) so its not quite a done deal yet!

This looks to be the case if Celtic want Mowbray and his backroom team of Peter Grant and Venus, compo will be well over £2 million

You don't fancy Keane as manager then ? Why not out of curiosity ?.
