Im half East Yorkshire, raised there and my dad is Co.Westmeath in Ireland, he'd a thing for Celtic when I was growing up and I took them to heart, there's an unquantifiable magic and depth of atmosphere to Celtic football club and Celtic Park which is as rare as hen's teeth as the saying goes -it is a love for life. Neville is in denial i think -his character always comes across as astute, logical but eschews the romance, the ingredient by which football at its best is cultural and beautiful and moving -being in the Celtic orbit is like being at one of the great shrines of those aspects melded into one
Players we should lose or have lost, Hart, Bernardo, Idah, Haksobanovic, Bernabei, Montgomery, McCarthy, Oh, Shaw, Johnstone, Siegrist, Lagerbielke, Kobayashi, Kwon, Welsh, thats my 15
Current board are very happy with the status quo add in the mess that is club 2012 and they will be rubbing their hands at not having to spend and that has been the problem for a long time, bean counter Lawell needs to move on and I would say Desmond has done alright with his plaything so maybe find something else to entertain himself.
McKenna isn't suited to the way Celtic play/pass out from the back, it'd be a bad move for the club & player; guy blooters the ball passing it 10m, sticks his toe through it and at 27 he's not going to change/learn now
Sleeping giant are we Rip Van Winkel FFS we need a management structure that gets European success you need athletes who provide pace and power we purchase slow defenders and slower wingers You know come 31st August we will be trying to get a loan signing Just once be proactive but Lawwell will do his usual why strengthen when the team we had was good enough to win the double
To busy focusing on keeping the shite we already have as usual! Time to sign players!! Before pre season is a must! Side note, well aware that’s a France top but can’t believe someone would wear a royal blue top on a Celtic podcast 😂😂
Because of poor scouting and under investment in the squad. Too many punts , hoping that they come good . Over the years a few have worked , but more often than not they’ve not .
I actually would sign McKenna. He wouldn’t come to be a squad player though, he would only come if he was a regular starter which I’m sure he would be. Miovski, idah for no more than £6m, starfelt was a good servant in the time he was here but he wanted to move on to be nearer his girlfriend that’s just the reality and wish him well in his future career. Not really a fan of going back the way.
For me, McKenna is only a near total carthorse & we've already got one in Scales & so McKenna only a complete no no & most hopefully Brenda agrees & as for Idah & Bernardo, if they were £3 million or so each, then just maybe worth a punt, but most thankfully Norwich City have priced Idah far too high & so that is now most definitely a complete no no, thank goodness & just maybe Bernardo too for different reasons & there is far, far better out there than him & as for Miovski, the sheep worriers have put a £7 million price tag on his head & for sure a case can be made for trying to sign a proven goal scorer & all round ''clever'' player too & could Celtic play proper hardball with the sheep worriers & get him for £5 million?
No TV company wants to invest because its a terrible product, no top quality players or manager want to come. Who'd want to live in Glasgow when you could live in dozens of better cities in a dozen better leagues against far better opposition, playing away at far better stadiums? Its really, really obvious that Celtic and Rangers first need to use their influence to reform the league and improve it as a product. If you dont do that, you'll never get back to Martin O Neill days because at least 5-6 leagues have stepped up and taken the mantle.
You think there are a dozen better leagues that players would go to before signing for Celtic? If that is the case - and I don’t think it is - there are many other reasons that players would sign for Celtic Football Club. Few players sign because they have a burning ambition to play in Scottish football. Players sign for Celtic for many more reasons than the league they play in. What do you think these reasons are?
@@ACelticStateOfMind Absolutely, don't you? You aren't looking at it from a player's point of view. There's a 99.9% chance that the players you're looking at WON'T be Celtic fans, so to them Celtic is just another minor/hasbeen/sleeping giant club in a sea of minor clubs. A player of the type you require in order to improve you, is also likely to be on the radar of teams various leagues in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, English Premier, English Championship, Dutch League, Belgian League, Danish League, MLS, Saudi , Swiss League etc so yes, I do think they'd have many better options, and each of those countries has better cities to live in than Glasgow and more exciting opposition to play against and in better stadiums. You can hardly deny that and if you're honest you wouldn't pick Scotland over the majority of those leagues I mentioned (some you might not pick like Saudi) Even Copenhagen or Salzburg do better in Champions League in recent years, so you're really up against it when it comes to a pecking order. No player (or manager) of any significant stature has demonstrated lately they are desperate to sign for Celtic over those other options, and the proof of that is in your threadbare squad which demonstrably isn't up to CL standard and which seemingly declined in stature and standard year on year . Compare it to O Neil, Lennon and Strachan teams, it's a shadow of those in terms of quality. Therefore Celtic and Rangers need to use their collective influence to push for league reform to improve the product and make it a league players and managers don't have to have a hand behind their backs to join. I don't think that is a harsh statement, I think that's actually a decent and honest summation of the problem Celtic (and the Scottish League) faces. One thing also is that players don't care about history, 1967 etc because some of their dads weren't even alive then. Players care about playing at a high level, money and that's about it. They would rather have that, than some coin toss Scottish trophy , which as the least competitive league in football history is hardly career defining.
Dozens of better cities like Liverpool, Manchester, Naples, Turin, Frankfurt, Leipzig...?Celtic players don't need to live in Glasgow. They could be living in castles in the Highlands on their wages.
@@PopGoz-j8m Ha ha ha, because living in a Castle in the Highlands is a great way to get to daily training isn't it?. You're not going to get players over to Glasgow these days on Celtic wages and the promise of a house in Milngavie when they could be playing in Lisbon, Porto, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Bruges, Salzburg, Frankfurt, London, Nice, Miami, New York, Eindhoven etc. I would agree that if Celtic and Rangers had maintained the standard of the O'Neill and Strachan era it would be a different story, but Celtic/Rangers and Scotland have simply been overtaken. I'm sorry you can't accept that, but it's what is happening. If it wasn't, where are all these players queuing up and clamouring to join?
The last time I looked the Highlands went from Loch Lomond, on the Highland Boundary Fault Line, northwards. Frankfurt, Eindhoven just ain't in the same league as Glasgow as cities go. Celtic's problem is money or will to buy players.

I would imagine the club are in the process. Patience is a virtue
Exactly 💯 right about lawell only been a part of the machine at Celtic. Desmond has the biggest say.
pJ I would rather watch a podcast than the England game tonight ☘️☘️
the board must be happy, a large ammount of interest saved by not spending on players,,

You need a better league, so start with making Scotland a more attractive proposition.

I took my mam to Celtic 1 man U nill Nakamura. Wouldn't mind the starting eleven that night.
Big George captain the team that night
I would take a chance on McKenna, think he is better than Scales
Flare, Height, Pace & some Dig

What about the ancient (masonic) order of Hibernian walks, should those be banned also?
Naw🥳
