    No chance imo. Ange gave the soundbyte he was told too.
    Not to be condescending mate, but you realise what players, management & our custodians tell us in public isn't always the truth?
    If you (the proverbial you) buy the story Ange did chat & sanction this deal, then he's a * terrible judge of character and did zero due diligence on the squad.

    Either way, this is a *.

    He has to go. Had more than enough chances but this is the last straw imo.

    * shred the * contract.

    I think he sanctioned it but was probably told he had a small budget to buy new players and didn't want to be left with just Ajeti.

    It was Ange’s call. It’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise. The decision was on hold until he arrived.

    Not even sure you could say he’s a bad judge of character. You can’t judge someone off 3/4 zoom calls. Purely from a squad point of view, he’ll have wanted to keep him. Those within the club needed to take a stronger stance and speak up

    It's far from ridiculous to suggest it. Right now anything that comes out of the newsfeeds from Celtic you should question entirely.
    If Ange sanctioned this, it's his first failure.
    This was done by the board as per our usual and historically factually established penny pinching modus operandi.

    The historically factually established modus operandi of the guy that’s been there from 6 days ago?

    The board could’ve done this back in May if they wanted to. It was clear the decision was left to the new incoming manager.

    For the record, you couldn’t meet a more cynical person than me regarding the clubs official narrative.

    Honestly mate, I'm not looking for a row.
    I genuinely don't believe it was his call. Pints last week (at last) with 2 fellow Celts, before this news broke, and neither believed it was his call either.

    Celtic FC cheap option strikes again.
    That's my take on it, Ange followed the company line and gave the soundbyte required.

    Ange isn't a yes man apparently if you listen to his merry band of Australian followers on here

    I don't think Ange is a yes man, the squad is bare thin and he's thought he could be the man to get him playing again not realising Leigh is beyond help.

    Terrible that we were ever in a position where giving him a new contract was deemed necessary because we were so thin up front.

    We’ve had a * year, but it’s worth remembering this is a guy who turned up too out of shape to even begin pre season.

    If that’s the case then it’s worst case scenario for us an Ange needs to leave right now.

    You see, this was kinda what I was alluding too in a roundabout way.
    Not that he leaves right now, I know how you meant that post to be taken.
    If it indeed was his call, doesn't it raise serious questions about his judgement and how much background checking he did on the current squad?
    If it was the board's call, then Ange has failed his first Yes man challenge.

    Either way Ange doesn't come out well. Am I right in that conclusion?
    That's why this is a right * shitshow.

    If he is just doing what they say and coming out and lying to the fans, while being a wee * boy for the board he must go right now. No two way’s about it for me.
