One week, 3 games, 8 goals conceded and 2 goals scored. A disaster of a start for the new Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy. His system is not working and in the second half on Sunday some of the Celtic players looked out on their feet. Nancy is only here just over a week so he should not be held responsible for the mis-management of the club. That falls to those in suits not tracksuits.
November’s manager of the month Martin O’Neill steadied the ship as interim manager and it looks like Dermot Desmond’s latest appointment could be sinking the ship.
There are already calls from some Celtic fans to sack the manager and chants of Sack the Board could be heard at Hampden Park. Celtic have now lost 2 finals at the National Stadium in a row.
If results don’t improve over the next few weeks we could see Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney back in the dugout by January. Don’t expect to hear anything from the Celtic board they have gone off to stick their heads in the sand and cash their cheques. There won’t be any statement from Ross Desmond.
The Celtic board can boast about how much money they have in the bank but they need to take responsibility for the 2 Cup Final defeats, Failing to qualify for the Champions League, a failed player recruitment system, a failed youth system and a broken relationship with the Celtic support.
