Tisdale in Midtjylland, two to the right of Sharon Brown. Despite apparently being a big hitter in UEFA circles the Celtic Chairman has been marked absent from Europa League away matches this season.
Paul Tisdale is reported to be negotiating a deal to bring Jocelin Ta Bi to Celtic.
Everything about his project screams project, from the man that identified and brought Sebastian Tounekti and Michel-Ange Balikwisha to Celtic during the summer.
Ta Bi is a 20-year-old Ivorian playing for Hapoel Petah Tikva on loan Maccabi Netanya.
THE TISDALE PROJECTS
There is a time and place for Celtic making carefully selected project signing with a clear pathway to first team football.
The track record of Tisdale suggests that he has no idea what is needed at Celtic.
A combined total of £10m was spent on Tounekti and Balikwisha who are both sitting on five year contracts.
Being signed in the last week of the transfer window is never a good sign, neither player has made any worthwhile contribution.
Ta Bi is a right winger which at least indicates that a problem position has been identified. How a20-year-old African on loan between Israeli clubs solves any issues is impossible to work out.
The same recruitment team that have been low balling and missing out on actual players now wanting to throw away £1mil+ on a £375k player with less professional experience than the two japanese guys that have managed 9 appearances between them (and both cost less combined)

Right now Celtic need to sign four first team starters, at least one of them being a tried and tested striker.
Whether there is an appetite to trust Wilfried Nancy with new players must be open to question. Or Tisdale.
ANGE DID IT!
Over the course of eight games the Frenchman doesn’t appear to have any understanding of what is needed by Celtic.
In season 21/22 Ange Postecoglou signed Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda and Yosuke Ideguchi on December 31. On January 14 Matt O’Riley was added.
Three out of those four signing hit the ground running, proving to be vital players over three title winning seasons.
Having delivered a huge improvement in performances and won the League Cup there was trust in the judgment of Postecoglou.
Nancy has none of that. Nor does Tisdale. Leaving Celtic in limbo until someone steps in to impose leadership and structure into every area of the club.
Anybody that believes any different than celtics season being sabotaged by Desmond & co is naive at best, this perfect storm could not be achieved any other way, Rogers seen it coming a mile away & done the bolt same as last time Celtic done this, there’s other powers at play ?

Should Celtic fans boycott the home match v Dundee United?
YES- We have reached that stage
NO- Faithful through and through
“Anybody that believes any different than celtics season being sabotaged by Desmond & co is naive . . .”
I concur with this statement 100%. One can only speculate as to the reasons but it is undoubtedly clear. The monklike CEO Michael Nicholson will be on a huge bonus now to continue taking pelters and keeping his mouth firmly shut
The Corona season showed us all what a nasty, vindictive old bastard DD is. He’s again showing us he’s the daddy by persevering with Nancy. Nobody should be surprised if he continues with him until summer then serves us up Lennon 3.0 as his successor.
As long as the Celtic faithful/ gullibles pay up for STs and merchandise and Celtic TV nothing will change,so who’s hands is it in, boycott games and STs and don’t believe the pish about 10000 waiting list.
If the present irresponsible board truly trust Tisdale’s flawed judgement to recruit quality players. Then it is my firm belief, that the incapable are incapable.
Currently sidelined with an ankle injury
It’s f*cking absurd Joe
The main picture accompanying this story at the top has Brian Wilson looking as if he has ponied himself after too much rich festive foods ? Scared to move an inch as the smell would be overwhelming !
This has all the hallmarks of the old board ,buying shite ,ignoring the fans and thinking they new better than everyone else ,this transfer market will set the club back years were being run into the ground by fkwits aided by a large selection of the support who see nothing wrong in it ,,,,,like before
Nancy will be here right to the summer
He might not be getting signed now though !
