Ah, I took it that rather than personal praise, he was just being a company man, backing him as part of the whole operation , while being unaware just what a charlatan the guy is.

My natural naivety 😁

Excellent article again, but Tisdale and Rogers?, all the gossip I’ve read/heard said the opposite, with his influence a huge part of why Rogers left.

Rodgers' initial comments over Tisdale oozed and gushed all over him. IMO its another one of HIS appointments like Congerton.

Respect, Andy....you called this correctly - and fearlessly- from day one, despite a lot of heat and noise from other spreadsheet obsessed commentators.

This ought to be a defining moment for Michael Nicholson....he took his big shot as a CEO, and his prints are all over this - he needs to own the consequences. One thing is for sure...Dermot Desmond will now surely have as much respect for him as Logan Roy did for his grasping, fawning offspring.

Fantastic journalism and a hard hitting and incisive article Andy, once again. All so predictable and eminently avoidable. At least we can say the Celtic Board saw the light, and have finally acted decisively, and terminated the contracts of the MLS spoofer Wilfried Nancy, his coaching staff, and the hapless Football Doctor Paul Tisdale.

Celtic must look forward with confidence, trust and vision to rebuild the Celtic

Model, and set about salvaging the league, winning the Europa play off, and

securing the Scottish Cup.

I like the looks of the Motherwell manager Jen Askou, he is doing a terrific job with Motherwell on a shoe string budget, could he be the man to save Celtic ?.

Suggestions :

1. Finish the reconstruct at Barrowfield.

2. Finish the reconstruct of Celtic Park, making it an 80,000 super stadium.

3. Build a Celtic Museum for all our esteemed and historical managers, players and silverware.

4. Adopt a modern and extensive scouting system with State of the Art Jamestown analytics.

5. Appoint a Director of Football who ticks all the boxes, most importantly

he is Celtic Minded
