Yes, you'd think so.
-
I'd hope so. Will probably depend on the precise wording of the agreement. It might only be a percentage of what Celtic make over and above the original fee.
-
I interpret that behaviour as sarcastic criticism of our own team, if you get my meaning. I recall one guy at Starks Park last year shouting constantly about a glaring weakness in our defence, which was exposed time and again. Nothing was done by SH to correct it and when Raith eventually scored because of it he clapped them and shouted something like "Well done, who didn't see that coming?". Sheer frustration. Yes, it looks and sounds bad but folk show disappointment and frustration in different ways.

Dundee? Kilmarnock?
-
100% yes. Slattery is capable of much better but for whatever reason we're not getting the best out of him. Paton looks to be a squad player at best and we haven't seen much of Davor. Spittal? His lack of pace and mobility is a major weakness in his game. Not without talent, his lack of an engine means that despite being given an attacking role, he can't support a striker or strikers and thats one of the main reasons for the front men often being isolated in games. We were warned about that deficiency in his game by County fans.

A draw would be a decent result. No less than a win on Saturday though.
-
I know what you're saying but, we had Conor Wlkinson saying a few weeks ago that he was asked to play in midfield for the first time in his career and he didn't know what he was supposed to be doing. Merry Christmas to all.
-
That to me is the biggest difference. Work rate and organisation.
-
Thats all it is. It proves nothing. What if the Motherwell captain or one/someof our players in that game was also in the brotherhood? Tiny was a good referee, one of the best I've seen.
-
Fair enough. Did you vote in the recent elections and have you informed the Society of the reasons for your dissatisfaction?
-
Ah Tiny Wharton.
-
Pretty much agree with that. You have to ask why SK hasn't selected Gent and Spencer, as starters, until the last couple of games or so.
-
You'd think so, but their judgement over the past 2/3 years hasn't been impressive.
-
I'll add to the list. How many fans, including Dundee ones, had heard of Tony Docherty before he landed the Dens job? How many of us had heard of Stephen Robinson? The club and agents will have a far better idea than we do, as they have access to a lot more information. Anyone knowing Stevie Hammell, i.e. Stepehen Craigan would have been very surprised at his appointment. Not all of these names were/are successful of course but it just shows how left field names land jobs. This winless run simply can't go on much longer.
-
Not all managers in work have contracts. Some have release clauses. I simply don't know who is available. Who on here would have come up with names like Jim Gannon, Ian Baraclough, Graham Alexander or Nick Montgomery?
-
They're getting worse Grizzly. 🤣
-
Often interested candidates don't show interest until a vacancy arises. It's not our job to identify candidates but rather that of the Directors. We don't know which managers are out of contract and which aren't.
-
Matty Connolly on loan to East Kilbride.
-
Shock of the century. I'm stunned. Celtic have reinstated the Green Brigade. Who'd have thunk it?
-
Given his dealings in the summer window, what makes you think that we should give him the January window? That's assuming of course that we fail to win our remaining 3 games of this year.
-
Before folk start to pile in, this NOT a political post, purely factual. Most of our top league players are paid £50,000 per year or more and many over £100,000. Recent tax changes being brought forward in Holyrood mean that they will be paying more tax playing in Scotland than in England (roughly £1.5K annually at £50K to £7.5K annually at £200K). At best that'll make very little difference to Scots' clubs attrativeness to English based players, or ability to retain our own youngsters, but at worst it could make it considerably worse. Just another ingredient in the mix in our ongoing battle with English or foreign clubs.
-
Currently, we do have a chairman, CEO and our club is not in financial trouble. Sacking the manager is never ideal but if things deteriorate even further on the pitch then the Board will act. The directors have the legal duty to act in the best interests of the club.
-
Yes a simple statement to that effect could have allayed much anxiety and fear. Most of us are still a bit uncertain as to what all of this means. As far as the women's team is concerned is it not an SPFL requirement for us to have one? I guess the annual cost will be in 5 figures. I think they attract some central funding. Personally I'm all for our ladies team but the commercial side needs to be improved. Easier said than done though.
-
A small piece of the recently announced jigsaw, but it's important to emphasise that Derek Weir was always going to be a temporary stand in CEO. No shock then that he's going to stand down in a few months.
-
They then complain about the standard of Scottish football.........from their armchairs.
