The future of Wilfried Nancy must be in doubt today after another SPFL defeat for the hopeless Frenchman.
Celtic led 1-0 at half time through a brilliant goal from Yang Hyun-jun.
Midway through the second half Celtic were trailing 3-1 with the match a lost cause.
From the 50th minute when Youssef Chermiti equalised there was only going to be one winner.
And it wasn’t the side being coached by the former Columbus Crew soccerball coach.
There is no redeeming features in the Celtic performance.
It was entirely in keeping with everything that Nancy’s side have delivered previously. His sacking can’t come soon enough.
TRAIL OF TERROR FROM NANCY
He should have been sacked after losing at Hampden to St Mirren. A fourth successive defeat, away to Dundee United brought about the chants of ‘Nancy get to F**K’.
Celtic doubled down. Peter Martin tweeted that the club were discussing the manager’s future.
Quickly the other messengers trashed that claim.
Wins over Aberdeen and Livingston meant very little. Aberdeen were in Conference League action three days earlier. Livingston haven’t won a match since August.
Reality returned at Motherwell in midweek. Celtic were thoroughly outplayed throughout the match. You only need to be switched on to beat Celtic.
RECORD BREAKERS
Motherwell and Dundee United have celebrated their first wins over Celtic in more than a decade. Nancy is rewriting the record books game by game.
After today even the cheerleaders and apologists will have given up on Nancy.
With Michael Nicholson hiding Celtic fans will be waiting on a text message from whichever golf course Dermot Desmond is at today.
When Nancy is sacked further action is needed.
Nicholson, Chris McKay and Tisdale need sacked as well.
While they remain in place the unmanaged decline continues.
Next Saturday Celtic are at home to Dundee United with fourth or fifth place staring them in the face if Nancy stays in place.
I’m going for a kip…it’s 3.15pm.
When i wake up I’m hoping at least Nancy is gone.
P.s,whoever replaces him: please do not let Trusty anywhere near a football ever again.
He should have been sacked after his presser the other night
..”I’m not a three at the back guy”
WTF !!!!
To right he not……..
Why was Ralston taking the shy leaving us exposed ???
Why are they as players not drilled or aware of this ???
Come on this is unmanaged untrained p*** !!!
Why wasn’t there a striker kicking the door in 5 days ago !!!
This is incompetence of the highest order
It’s time for serious action, not a penny more needs more support, and if you don’t want to boycott then let’s have a sit in for 15 mins at the end !!!!
Sack sack sack the lot of them
Maloney sitting with Tisdale in the stand could be an indicator of them planning for the worst today. If jambos beat Livingston they are 6 ahead. Can still do it this season if a competent manager in and sign a good striker but every moment Nancy remains the window narrows.
Get Nancy, his staff, Tisdale, Nicholson, McKay and Desmond to f**k tonight. All of them useless and arrogant.
Celtic has become a 45 minute team of losers ! The first half today and previous games should have won the march easily then ..missing ridiculously easy chances other Celtic teams and players would have buried into goals . What is the message given by the head coach in the half time dressing room ? Give your opponents a chance ! Don’t be too hard on them ! Be nice and considerate to the opposition! Take your feet off the gas ! That’s the way I’m seeing it …How can the team be so dominant and superior for the first half then come out and play like amateurs on an old black ash pitch ….it’s a disgrace !
Because the opposing coach has worked out after the 1st half exactly what to do. This is happening repeatedly.
Moments? Better with cheesy moments fae behind the bar. Get him out.
The sight of Nancy scuttling down the tunnel ASAP – and not reaching out to his players still on the pitch – told me he is done?
[I hope to God anyway!]
He is a disaster and equally as arrogant as the board members.
Their contempt for the average Celtic fan is obvious.
It speaks volumes that tonight, even the return of Lennon in the dugout would now seem welcome – he isn’t a particularly good manager and definitely isn’t a long-term solution but would at least be a tourniquet for a club which is presently bleeding out.
Whoever is presently running the show – if indeed anyone is in any meaningful way – now needs to show leadership and act decisively in the best interests of the club. We have just lost 3-1 at home to the worst team playing out of Ibrox I have ever seen, and we have a banana-skin against Auchinleck Talbot on the horizon just two weeks away. Under the present coaching set-up, that is a game we could easily lose. The choice is a stark one – cut your losses on this colossal error now, or face being the board that makes us a complete laughing stock. Do the right thing.
I agree something has to happen as soon as possible but lennon????? The fkn board apologist !!, keep him as far away from our club as possible
That’s exactly my point – even THAT looks acceptable compared to “the Riddler” in the dugout today. The job is beyond him, simple as that. The sedate world of MLS is no preparation for a role like managing Celtic. He just doesn’t get it.
That’s where we’re at in a nutshell.
Agreed!
Nobody at Celtic just now is capable of running the show. They are ALL incompetent and untrustworthy.
They might keep him till Auckenleck…
If they do – Then C’mon Auckenleck if it gets him gone !
There is a fair chance that Auchinleck Talbot could beat Celtic with this clown as coach. I would not be bothered if they did as the people at Celtic clearly do not give a shit about us.
We need to realise that we are being taken for mugs. Some fans are actually mugs as they still readily spend money at the food stalls or in the Celtic store at greatly inflated prices.
We could all see and can still see that this man has to go…go now. And he’s not the only one…
Surely the shareholder over there can see it too. He must feel the humiliaton we feel too, right? (Lots of theories about that too).
Looking though history the human race doesn’t learn from past mistakes. They’ve been on rinse and repeat since the beginning of time.
Looking at our recent history, Auchinleck Talbot are a couple of hoofs up the park from making another horrendous supercaley headline.
That can’t happen.
