    You said he was badge thumping. You said ''only an idiot would take as anything other than the support viewing that as an act of him saying he’s staying''.

    Basically, I'm laughing at you making stuff up. :giggle1:

    Where's the badge?

    Imagine looking so deeply into a manager celebrating a trophy win. :56:

    They didn't come for him, he had is agent put his name in.

    People keep saying "he never would have expected a top 6 team would ask him"

    As if Spurs just phoned him up out the blue and said "awright Ange, howz about it eh?" The writing had been on the wall for Conte for weeks before he was fired, everyone knew in February that that vacancy was coming up and Ange had every intent on applying.

    Fair enough, he just should have been less of a * and not strung our board along and it's ok to be annoyed that he did.

    So was he supposed to resign from the job here first before responding to interest from anyone else? Or talk about it openly while still trying to finish the job here, as if that wouldn't have been even more disruptive?

    Interest for managers comes when it comes, there's no transfer window for it like players, so I'm not really sure what some people are expecting him to have done differently here.

    So what exactly was he doing repeatedly thumping the left side of his chest?

    Celebrating the exact same way he's celebrated on several occasions while he's been our manager.

    Read the athletic article, that’s blow by blow and he’d been talking to them.

    The question was had he spoken to Spurs this week, probably true that he hadn’t spoken to them in the Cup week, but he had definitely spoken to them. The ITK broke the story in the week, it came out that week that he had been a naughty boy behind our back and the board had no idea. Look at their faces at the final, they were * like never before. That’s why it all progressed so quickly after the cup final.

    If you believe that Ange sorted this after the Cup final from start to finish, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

    Your comment regarding our transfer targets is so flippant.

    Those targets are drawn up, they are sounded out, their clubs are sounded out, their agents are sounded out, there is an incredible amount of work goes into it.

    Those players are looking at moving based on style of football and the manager. A change in manager can see those targets move towards another club with more certainty of playing style and success.

    New manager now has to convince them to come here. New manager may not even want them and have a different target. Process starts all over again, it’s time wasted that could have been used better had Ange had the balls to be straight up honest and not selfish.

    Still no badge at Hampden like you said though. :giggle1:

    If you want to interpret a celebration as a message of 'I'm not leaving' then that's up to you. I'll stick to reality.

    At no point have I said I thought the deal was done after the cup final, from start to finish.

    It was flippant. I just don't think things Ange leaving is as drastic as is being made out by some. I think we'll be fine.

    Christ folk really upset about the badge thumping. It's just a * gesture, it's not code or anything.

    “Oh *, I’m out ” he said, as he continued to argue and post pointless drivel.

    Was starting to think this troll wasn’t going to come back. We should be so lucky.

    his heart? :56:

    OK enough already time to move on. He's gone so onwards and upwards. Time to stop all the arguments. We learn a lesson from this........don't get so emotionally attached to the next one. He will only deserve that after 3 or 4 seasons of success:50:

    I agree that we’ll be fine. People are disappointed in the way it’s played out and while he’s left the club in a great position, he could have left us in a perfect position.

    Anyway, I’m excited for our future, onwards and upwards, we are in a very attractive position with Champions League football, now it’s up to our board to get us a manager that can take us to the next level.

    I’m off to the thread that talks about our future manager, because that’s what we all want at the end of the day, a successful Celtic.

    * *, people hanging onto him thumping his chest etc need to get a grip.

    Doesn't mean he's going to stay forever. Doesn't mean he didn't care about our club or our support either now that he has left.

    People are mental

    Conveniently away for a couple months holiday while we were winning cups and strolling it in the league, first hint of negativity and they all come out of the woodwork, it's hilarious.
