If a new pitch is as crucial to him as it appears it should be done and that's that. Seems to be as fundamental to him as getting the right player to make us tick. If he's a man of small percentages making a big difference then this is something that's going to improve every one of our players when it comes to implementing his system and ideas. We've already seen the remarkable difference that these small percentages can make with players. If there's any reluctance from above to get it done it should be dealt with. The guy has come in and is happy to work within financial constraints (building a team to compete in Europe ) and has made us a fortune. Get him his feckin pitch! |

Good article, that`s where a quality reputation gets you, no moonbeams, just a `look at this guy and what he can do for you if you work hard`. As for the pitch, he wants us to be professional at every level. Other than some players and backroom staff the two things he has asked of the club to look at are the indoor pitch at Lennoxtown and our playing surface, you can`t have a strategy and footballing philosophy if your basic tools aren`t there. He may be getting irked by it but to me it`s just another example of his professionalism and thoroughgness, he isn`t accepting second rate. |

Don't think he is getting frustrated, as he would know the summer is when we will change the pitch. After the Huns game we have two away games with the Scotland game in between so might be a quick fix for the remainder of the season. |

Surely the pitch being done to how Brendan would like is only adding value anyway? The initial outlay maybe £2 mil but the long term benefits must outweigh this cost so this should be done. Same with an indoor pitch at Lennoxtown, again its added value. |

I forgot about the Henrik's Heroes vs Lubo's Legends match which will mean that the pitch isn't getting ripped up in May! |

We now have the cash to finish everything that is required for Lennoxtown and Celtic Park and it would be a disgrace if we didn't. Lennoxtown Full size indoor pitch. Any new equipment the medical team need. The access road we need to build. Celtic Park Visitors Centre (including toilet/shower blocks for fans traveling from Ireland and other faraway spots) Tarmacing the car parks. Leveling the walkways leading up to the park for examples |

They can lay the new pitch in about a week, giving it about 5 or 6 weeks to settle in |

A couple of months back, one of the few huns in my work was talking about how they would catch up with us by next season. Today he admitted we were now dust on the horizon and how impressed he is by Brendan |

We can't all be in Wilde mode all the time. The attempt meant more than the execution.

Yes. I think Brendan will get a few players each season to bolster his first 11 and improve us, but do get the feeling we will be relying heavily on his coaching abilities as well. Given the progress so far, that is a positive. If we are able to move forward on all fronts at the same time, we absolutely should. |

In a word, Yes! We can do both or do you seriously think we will sign players worth £30m this summer and add about £10m to the annual wage bill? |
