There was some sort of link to a consulting company with links to Ghana if I remember correctly. Just repeating what I was told. Only discussions have been with the DOF and head of recruitment. Mate has said players have found it odd not speaking with manager as it’s what happens elsewhere. Quote

Aye, so it's not that he didn't know about the signings, just that he didn't speak to them during the recruitment process. Quote
Don Julio Posted Monday at 13:42 Report Posted Monday at 13:42 Nothing really to add to what's been side, other than that I'd love to hear his unvarnished take at some point down the line (don't suppose we ever will). 80 games is an awful lot not to work out how to play to succeed in a league where you have more purchasing power than most of your competitors. I reckon there's a great book to be written by anyone who could get the inside scoop. Sorry to see him go, grateful for the cup and the league run early last season. Belting out "F you, Celtic, we're gonna win the league" for about 15 minutes after losing 6-0 was also a personal highlight in a stubborn, Stand Free, type of manner. Best of luck Jimmy. It wasn't to be. Quote

It wasn't to be. I'm sure there would be great mileage in a book detailing all the happenings amongst all managerial appointments since Dave took over the club. I don't think any writer would have to embellish the stories much either. Quote
swaddon Posted Monday at 16:16 Report Posted Monday at 16:16 I know I'm drifting off topic here, but I did suggest once on the auld place that a book about the last 25 years of the AFC (2000 - 2025) would be an interesting, if difficult read. The glory years have been written about by many authors over the years, a book which focuses on the less good times needs to be written. 4 Quote
