I cannot keep thinking that there are obvious candidates out there that we should really be doing all we can to secure but the problem continues to be that we are rather rigid in that those at the top are unwilling to relinquish power and control much to the detriment of our club..

Nothing against Ange because I respect his achievements and talents but if he remains at Celtic, this must be be a sign to the board just how unattractive things are at Spurs given that we have already been unable to successfully land Slot…
That’s assuming Ange is our top choice at the moment. Nobody has actually clarified that he is, just that he is one of the favourites.

One has to remember that as it stands we are down to our 3rd choice. Everyone knows that including our prospective targets. That certainly doesn’t make us an appealing prospect especially if they are employed by a club that does believe in them.

I mean we couldn’t convince Slot, our supposed top choice, that we really really wanted him. How are we going to convince our 3rd choice.

Furthermore I’d reckon there’s probably quite a bit of indecision and panic amongst the board that is probably causing them to second-guess themselves quite a bit. They probably like Ange but is he really better then Enrique, is Enrique really better the Potter, is Potter really better then Rodgers, is Rodgers really better then Ange and so on. They are probably just going round and round whilst also throwing new names into mix.

I really feel in a few weeks time we will end up going for whoever is left. *Expect for Nagelsmann, if he hasn’t gone to Madrid we still won’t go for him.

I would not be all that surprised if Ange did turn us down when you consider just how bad we look right now… Sure, there are some positives but I think potential candidates see our current setup to be so flawed that it is almost impossible to be successful… The other issue is that we have to face is that it is almost certain that clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea will be better next year thus making it even more difficult for us to finish in the top four next season…

No doubt Celtic would be an easier job and a more pleasant environment to work in as far as having autonomy… There is also the issue of job security…

Not yet…I would assume we are waiting until the end of their season…
Maybe but if we are I'm sure he would know.

What I'm getting at is there is a massive leap in manager we spoke to signing a new deal to bloke rejects chance to double his wages to come to spurs to stay in farmers league.

Job security isnt that much of a problem as a football manager seeing you're going to get yourself a large pay off if you fail to deliver.

We have probably sounded him out but it feels as though we still cannot make up our mind and are trying to keep too many irons in the fire…

True…He might also be thinking of creating a lasting legacy which is something I cannot see him doing as easily here…He might well fancy becoming the greatest Celtic manager of all-time…

Whilst we continue to arse around on the recruitment front for both manager and DoF, we look shambolic, and no surprise candidates would prefer to stay where they are comfortable with their structure and being offered improved deals to stay put.
Whether we are stuck deciding whether to appoint a manager and then source a DoF to work with them, or a DoF first who can identify a suitable manager, either way we need to make one appointment a bit lively. Feels like we are being left behind as candidates either move to other clubs, or sign new deals, and effectively cross themselves off our list.
