Celtic's sacking of Nancy brutally exposes the void in MLS hype as U.S. fans' "bigger and better" bubble bursts spectacularly when they step beyond their sheltered backyard into world football.
The MLS is a glorified amateur league for washed up superstars like Messi and Beckham e tal, and wannabe footballer mercenaries from around the globe, a pretend footballing league, which is more like a pageantry of family day outings to watch all the razzamatazz, glitter and tinsel, for something which masquerades as a footballing experience, with rewards and prizes for all who participate. Those footballing mercenaries go there to make a quick buck in the twilight of their careers, just like many of them are now getting drawn to the rich laden Saudi Arabia Al-Ahli, in their pro league, can't say I blame them, because most of them have families, and need the dough to support them. But thank God for the Celtic fans, that the chanty wrastlers Wilfried Nancy, Ampadu, and their sidekicks have departed, it's cost the buffoons in the Celtic Board £3M to pay these footballing frauds off, and don't forget it was the snake oil salesman Paul Tisdale who started this whole shebang off. Time for an Andy Muirhead special expose on the insidious role of Tisdale next ? In this disastrous Scottish/British footballing exercise, which will be used for decades by football historians and buffs, as a test case/precedent of how a great club like Glasgow Celtic self sabotaged themselves, their club and their own long suffering fans. ?
I actually had a piece on Tisdale researched and ready to go before he was sacked. Will need to rewrite it now and reframe it asking how he got the job in the first place.
Good stuff. I would actually suggest a rewrite too, and get it out while Tisdale is still hot news.
How he even got the Exeter City job beggars belief.
From what I can gather, he, Tisdale was introduced to Strachan senior, at one of his son's wedding, not Gavin. I suspect it was a case of not what you know in this game, but who you know, and WGS is well connected, if you know what I mean.
Bang on the dime again, Andy.

Tisdale is an absolute fraud.
