Celtic should have got rid of Lennon in late October (really shoudn't have hired him in the showers, we are glad they did) but citing past achievement and loyalty they hung on until well into the following year, despite major fan protests. A month or two before ST renewals they finally pulled the plug.....No replacement until the summer. I wonder how our board see things just now and how much finances are conditioning that view. We don't have the same amount of money to throw at it as they did last summer. They'll probably get automatic CL again and spend much more on the squad than we can. Unless we appoint an excellent manager and our recruitment is the same, then a real gap will start opening up again. With that in mind, do/should the board (with an eye on the league title) look to be proactive and make the change now ? They are in a very difficult situation. The problem with getting rid off GvB is, I believe, he’s contracted until June 2025.. It would cost around £7m to get rid off him including his back room staff I believe Edited October 25, 2022 by RANGERRAB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,823 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Our DoF appointed GvB. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I do remember Wilson saying at the time that he was pleased with the pedigree of the options - He might have just been saying that, however. It bodes well for future appointments that there are options available. (I always expected him to have a constantly updated and monitored shortlist, anyway.) I questioned GvB's appointment at the time, but I don't think it was a bad appointment; only with hindsight. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,770 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Perhaps a lot of the current problems will go away as we get players back from injury & can add one or two in January. Hagi getting near now I believe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Some of the things GvB and some of the players have said have me doubting he can turn things around. He's tried a few things but we never improve on a consistent basis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
