Anthony Joseph has tweeted about a bizarre scenario revolving the incredible last 24 hours of Olivier Ntcham.
As the transfer deadline approached it was confirmed that the midfielder had signed on loan for Marseille with a buy-out option of certain criteria were met.
Those criteria were dependent on manager Andre Villas-Boas who strangely seemed to have been cut completely out of negotiations.
As Tuesday developed a very different story emerged, Villas-Boas had told the club that he didn’t want the player signed but despite that Ntcham woke up back in France as a Marseille player.
Picturing a scenario already where Andre Villas-Boas becomes the Celtic manager in the summer… then the Marseille board decide to send Olivier Ntcham back.

The former Spurs and Chelsea manager is now suspended at Marseille, it seems that there is no way back from today’s media conference with just the terms of his settlement to be decided.
Celtic of course look like a club who’ll soon be looking for a new manager, many desperate fans have been putting two and two together but when someone from Sky Spirts is thinking along the same lines it puts things in a very different light.
“He is a player I said no to. He was not on our list.”
Andre Villas-Boas says he has offered to resign as Marseille head coach over the signing of Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham.
