    He'll leave the club again and come back as a left-back

    Why do we have a head of recruitment on a (probably) 6-figure salary? What's he actually getting paid to do? Identify 2 players over a 6 month period?

    Outrageous

    We have a head of Scouting and recruitment.
    We also have a lead first team scout.
    We have a head of Scouting department.
    And we have a lead UK and Europe scout.

    Lots of "middle management" but seemingly actually no * scouts.

    As we all know, middle management often don't actually do the * job they are meant to be managing.
    What's worse is having management with no * to * manage..

    Academy can't hold talent and isn't producing it as regular as we should, don't utilise foreign markets even at academy level, don't think we have the right level of coaches either, jobs for the boys. If you're a young promising foreign player with a couple of attractive options the level of coaching could be the difference maker and we are offering Odea, McManus and I'm pretty sure Stevie Hammill is involved with us now.

    I'd much rather we try and bring in some foreign influence and ideas at academy level too.

    Recruitment, *.

    Stadium even needs work done to it as well tbh it's looking a bit dilapidated.

    Not a modern club at all as much as these * like to claim we are. Miles off it. Majority shareholder cares more about his handicap than getting involved in football related matters. Other than coming out the woodwork to sign a token Northern Irish football manager.

    There's a complete disconnect even in the boardroom I'd say. The general feeling has always seemed to be that Desmond wants one thing and the likes of Lawwell have other ideas...there's no pulling together in the same direction. Then throw in Rodgers who clearly has different levels of ambition still to most others above him.

    Then the disconnect between the support as well, even infighting with the GB splitting opinion.

    When you break everything down it really is a mental situation that was all kinda held together by one figure in Ange for 24 months or so. He was influential and charismatic and everyone bought into it at least from a supporters perspective. It was nice while it lasted, but it papered over cracks.

    I cannot fathom the thinking. £60m up for grabs, an average at best Hun side to beat and its ours. Yet we still want to risk it all. Its suicidal.

    Its unlikely Idah was identified and scouted. He was probably offered out to clubs when they agreed to sign SVD.

    I think there's a helluva lot more people absolutely scunnered by this latest shambles who will be seriously considering whether or not to renew this time. I definitely won't be

    The timing of it screams of it.

    Norwich knew Celtic was linked to SVH, you can honestly hear the phone call from here from Norwich to Celtic offering us Idah.

    If results start to go badly it will be more than * fences the board will need to put up around the ground.

    This * needs hounded out of the club. Something tells me the GB will go hammer and tongs from now til the end of the season. Hopefully they do while continuing to support the team. We’ve no chance of winning this league if the fans turn against the team.

    I could be wrong but I believe clubs have an application that they can list available and transfer listed players on. Idah would of been added to the loan list so he can hopefully continue developing after going down the pecking order.

    We should be at that stage already.. the bad results will come, absolutely no doubt with this squad, they did in December already.

    Hes downsized this club for the benefits of the shareholders and needs to * off before this club is unrecognisable. Him and Desmond.

    We are only customers to them, the only way to stop them is hit them in the pocket. Unfortunately Too many are happy with the way things are and * scared to lose season tickets or a league to force change.. its a * state of affairs

    If we manage to * this league up they’ll be praying for another pandemic.

    They’ll be getting it stinking from all angles.

    Even the * in the posh seats weren’t happy at the Hearts game.

    Rumour going round that they moved AFCON due to the African rainy season, not true, everyone knows it would have clashed with a peter lawwell dental appointment and no one would dare upset him

    Two big egos that dont get on and we're In the middle.

    You know he's wanting to have the pleasure of sacking brendan to get him back.

    Like voting for independence and getting a tory government.

    You just think with putting money into your club you'd have more say but we're just daft customers

    Him and his idiot son didnt want him as a manger, they the rushed through signings of Holm, Kwon, Yang, Tilio an told Rodgers they were all recommended/approved by Ange.

    They deliberately went out their way to stack the deck and set him up to fail and ur right it's all so he can sack him so he can massage his ego.

    * fat *!!
