Your first two paragraphs are along the lines of my thinking. It’s like they’re acting first then working out how to do it after. A big big risk and it does strike me as a slightly desperate throw of the dice for them. If it works out for them, it means they’ve got lucky rather than being inspired. However, they could get lucky. Yes all available evidence still suggests we should be winning next season, but let’s not risk our own ‘spiky golf shoes’ moment in all of this. They could get a bounce and could even get competitive, and it would be crazy to ignore it completely. |

I challenged one of the currant buns at work to explain why he believes we're bricking it....his "evidence" was a handful of zoomers on Twitter posting things like "Don't do it Stevie, it'll destroy your career" and "If you sign for the Huns you're dead to me" Sure thing Billy boy....those handfull of eejits are way more representative of the Celtic support than the vast majority who are pissing themselves with laughter Oh, and his other stunning piece of logic was "well, there must be a substantial budget or he'd never have taken the job" Hmmmm....that's one point of view, but you could equally say that if there is money there for a substantial transfer spend then they could have convinced an experienced manager to take the gig.

I'm sure the Celtic board and manager will watch this very carefully, as they'd do with any ongoings at ibrox. There is an opportunity in there for us too. |

If you have a ticket for the Cup Final you should think about giving it to a Celtic supporter. |

At the moment this is PR masquerading as football management. And, to be fair on King, he's played a bit of a blinder/squirrel here. IF significant NEW investment arrives, then we're in new territory. History and all available facts suggest otherwise. The suspicion must be that Gerrard is the bait for any new investment, otherwise McInnes, Dyche or Clark would be saviour of choice. |

Correct! If you're a Celtic fan who cares what happens in the scrap for EL places ! Green and White ribbons on the cup is ALL that matters! Jesus who wants to watch the supporters of that shower of hacking bastards lift the cup while we look on ? |

It was the rational call. Rational calls when proved wrong in reality dont become the wrong call. This move is madness ( dressed up as risk in the media ) for both parties. Gerrard has more to lose than he has probably calculated in. Not one person in their history ( player, manager, exec or board member ) has left with their reputation enhanced. This could irreparably damage his brand and managerial career He has shown an arrogance that he doesn’t need to learn a new profession. Brands take years to build up and moments to destroy, he should be in a job where his contribution and lack are hidden from public view until he has learned the ropes. This is not Souness all over again the world has changed since 1986, Souness was a cheque book manager he was seen for what he was as a manager after he left, his managerial record was dismal post Rangers and Smith showed that Souness wasn’t the differentiator, the money was.. For a club formed on the back of a demise due to reckless spending what they need is certainty and stability. They crave the instant success of the Souness era but don’t understand the differences between then and now make that nothing more than a pipe dream. Either they are now going to compete on less than 1/3 of the budget of Celtic or they are going to throw money they don’t have at it for the prize of what? At best breaking even in an arms race with an impressively run Celtic. The previous club died trying to match Celtic’s achievements, this one is more obsessed with 10 in a row than we are to the point it can’t stick to it’s knitting. Both the manager and the club have shown an impatience for instant success instead of building something through hard work, effort and time. This rapaciousness very rarely ends well. We knew Rangers were capable of this ( just look at their managers since their inception ) but we were not sure if Gerrard was. He has made a stupid call one that some posters thought he was clever enough to avoid, they were wrong but their logic was right. We know two more things today than we did yesterday. 1. Steve Gerrard is arrogant towards the profession he has just entered. 2. No one at Rangers has learned anything about financial prudence and building a business on the basis of adding value over time. They continue to trade at a loss with no feasible business plan that rises above the world of wishful thinking. Wishing sometimes work, but it is not really a competitor to a solid plan, financial muscle, good organisation, the discipline to be patient and hard work.

Celtic Underground þ @celticrumours Following Following @celticrumours More Just imagine if King didn't have £11m and decided to stand down. And just imagine if he wanted the others to write off their loans and some refused to do so. Just imagine. |
