The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Main Street]

The Celtic board would need a collective lobotomy to sign Davies.

Maybe I should have pointed out that Billy has an obsession about Billy and loves talking about Billy.

That Mirror article quotes Billy talking about Billy, even though Billy's team are in the play offs, Billy can't shut up about Billy.

Interesting piece here, maybe Desmond WILL put his hand in his pocket this Summer.
Thogh Charlie as normal over eggs the pudding!

Desmond surprises Nicholas with call about club's future
Date: 27 April 2010
By ALEX GORDON
CHARLIE Nicholas has had talks with Celtic owner Dermot Desmond.

The former Parkhead striker was startled to get a call from the club's majority shareholder – and thought someone was playing a joke on him. He said: "Everyone will be well aware my criticism of the Celtic hierarchy hasn't gone so well at the club after Neil Lennon had a pop at me at a press conference.

"But I am sure they will be interested to know I received a phone call from none other than Dermot Desmond.

"Like anyone would, I thought it was a wind-up to begin with. However, after recalling a meeting between the two of us many years ago, I quickly realised it was, indeed, Dermot.

"What was said will remain private.

"I was surprised to hear from him and I am looking forward to seeing what he has in store for Celtic this summer.

"Major investment and big changes are required. Time will tell if they are delivered."

Nicholas added: "The biggest rebuilding job in my lifetime is required at Celtic.

Anyone who thinks my old club are just two or three players short is simply kidding themselves. In fact, I would say there are only two or three you would want to keep.

"So, it could be time for Dermot Desmond to really show what Celtic mean to him and how badly he wants the team to improve."

On other good news from the Hoops, an interesting Summer awaits, who will be manager?, who will come and who will go?, the Hoops v Huns match in Boston and now the news that Celtic have been invited to participate in the Emirates cup in London, facing such illustrious names as AC Milan, Lyon and Arsenal.

Disappointed to see Rogne having to go off yesterday,looks like a really good player.5 league wins in a row now for Lennon,though i feel the Ross County defeat will scupper his chances of getting the job on a permanent basis.

billy davies wont take the celtic job - he's not near good enough - hes a huge rangers fan anyhow !

Words I thought I'd never type - you're absolutely right on this one, LB.

not so much taking points as underlining a death of knowledge about Celtic that an ordinary fan would or should posess !

I presume you refer to the football championship ?
Of course.
I look forward to all sporting events, NHL playoffs, NBA Playoffs, heineken cup final, sfa and fa cup finals
but the football and hurling championships are the best part of an Irish summer and to be enjoyed!

congrats to middlesboro by the way
finishing 11th was a wonderful achievement !

Surely you arent suggesting that it was some kind of secret that Billy Davies is a Rangers fan . I would have thought actual Celtic fans would know the names of their own players though .

'Celtic's' Man Mowbray had as good a season as he guy prior to him. Neither were good enough though. Lets hope Celtic appoint a decent man next time out ! - well us Celtc fans hope so, doubt if you share that sentiment !!

obv a secret to some, including the tabloids who came up with the ridiculous notion !!
Good to see you still have no comeback other than bringing up a 'typo' !

I suppose a 'guard of honour' to welcome the SPL champions onto the pitch, would be out of the question?

Yeah sure....sure why not ask the Celtic players to perform oral sex on them whilst trying to hum "The Billy boys" too ...i know you're on the wind up so i was sarcastic too
