    “He set out to be his own man”- is that not what any decent CEO would do?
    It’s obvious the board just wanted a Lawwell clone and probably now have that in Mike Nicholson.
    Fresh ideas and forward thinking are clearly not welcome at our club.

    If Ange was appointed because McKay pursued him and convinced him to take the job, with McKay leaving Ange may start to feel a bit isolated with this Board, they will see him as McKays man. I fear then they wont back Ange in the January window forcing Ange to walk leaving Desmond to appoint his man he has always wanted, Kennedy.

    Conspiracy hat on here - What if this was always the plan, and they wanted to appoint Nicholson after PL but knew the fans wouldn't accept it at the time, so they placed a "buffer" in full knowledge that he would leave "for personal reasons" at a pre-determined time?

    Anything's possible knowing the board...

    Think Strachan has been brought in to step in as manager in case Ange walks as well.

    Here’s a thought of scales doesn’t even make the first team squad in the coming months then we have an inkling why theirs boardroom strife cause that would mean Desmond was pumping money into rovers to the detriment of Celtic

    That may well be the case ,Eddie Howe said something like there being no clear direction for the future as a reason for not taking the job .Christ that was an understatement

    As our CEO resigns after a few months, we all still foaming at the mouth to slaughter Eddie Howe for avoiding this shitshow?

    Anything to avoid criticising Celtic

    I remember him saying so but in reality, they only knew each other for 2 months. Hardly a rock solid relationship.

    Fact is that there are people whose job it is to negotiate and finalise transfers at Celtic but big Pete wanted to do it all himself. Dom showed he had no issues sorting deals and having Ange be a big part of that instead of Pete or Desmond just buying whoever the * they wanted without asking the manager.

    This should be the final straw for this self-righteous, profit driven tory * of a board.

    Plenty of interest and speculation in the lamestream media.

    The weak statement released by the club invited exactly this scenario.

    The Board were bumping their gums about loyalty and reviews when it came to our previous footballing manager but when it comes to their own particular area then it's very swift action.

    Too many on the board have been there too long. It's very much a small cartel and very little realistic chance of changing this and only 1x per year to even voice desent at the AGM.

    Sadly , I think this will affect our title challenge.
