Darryl Broadfoot said on Sportsound it is more than likely all clubs will have voted to continue.

Good to listen to that apologist squirming [if that is even possible] trying to explain , excuse Maxwell's dumb email .

Or alternatively trying to engineer a way to resign instead of get sacked, as per the last time he left Celtic. 

Lennon seemed to be having a pop at Lawwell too . Think Lennon is definitely off , seems to be some suggestion that Lawwell could be off too ?

From reports there is a suggestion by Lennon the Celtic players don't actually have Covid.

 

I think he'll find it's humility they tested negative for...

According to that link Gerrard is on £2.5m a year so I’m sure they could now get someone like Eddie Howe for instance.

Lennon was the safe option, someone they knew and trusted and was successful before, his appointment was not welcomed by all the fans. Sounds familiar 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️😆?!?!

Lennon was brought back to Parkhead for one reason only.

 

In Scotland bigotry is big business, he was there to spice up the most overrated derby in the world

The ones underneath McInnes seem to be extremely well paid don’t they, plenty sources confirming Lennons pay though. 

Stuart Kettlewell also, was in £450,000 a year? 🤣🤣 Aye right

Be lucky if it was a quarter of that.

Howe was reported to be on £4m pa at Bournemouth so don’t think he would take a 35% pay cut to come up here and deal with the hassle he would get. Just waiting on Palace or Fulham jobs coming up.

They do pay ridiculous wages up there but no way that much, I didn’t write the article by the way. I was pointing out how much Lennons gets which is confirmed in numerous articles.

It says £3m here which is ridiculous for a club with a 10k stadium to be honest. Palace job maybe but I get the feeling Fulham might just stay up, saw them get a deserved point against Spurs where they could’ve easily won.

Media comments range from £3m to £5m, I took the average. In reality no-one in the media actually knows.

If its Duffy, the shits about to hit the fan. Not in a coin hitting someone's padded managers jacket, but in a right in the face kind of way.

If true that would require changes to the number of games each league plays. Top league would struggle to play all games left as Scotland have three World Cup qualifiers in March. Our league probably down to 18 games if we lose 6 weeks.

Without going into too much detail , From a friend who is a Celtic supporter with connections close to football. 
 

Worryingly a decent enough source. Hope he is wrong!

I would imagine the club accounts would confirm Howe as the highest earner not that it really matters, he’s been linked with the job but I think they might go for a cheaper option from Leith. He might even move back to Scotland if he got that job.,

Surely if Duffy positive then everyone on the pitch during Saturday’s game would have to self-isolate? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just the ones he got close to, so not many 😜

I so want it to be Duffy. But right enough wasn't it confirmed it's one of the players already isolating, which Duffy isn't (but should be)

I’d seen the same message as you on 2 separate group chats with different mates. A hibs players dad is on one of them and said his son said no positives at hibs. Rest could be true I suppose

If this sort of thing did happen,  aside from the consequences for us,  part of me might like to see the carnage this would cause for the snakes of Scottish Football.  It would be delicious to see these reptiles reap the harvest of enabling scum like Celtic and the governing bodies to manipulate the entire game.  I wonder if it would dawn on certain people to suddenly find the courage to stand up for themselves.

Club accounts don’t reveal individuals wages. Toss up between him, Begovic  and Wilson as to top earner according to most sites.

“Privileged” scum of the earth who can’t deal with losing the league and are lashing out at trying to put the blame on everyone else whilst playing the victims?

As Corporal Jones used to say, “they don’t like it up ‘em”.

They’ve had it pretty much all their own way since Rangers’ demise. Even had seasons without Rangers, Hearts and Hibs to play against. Aberdeen didn’t rise to the challenge.

As soon as they get a proper domestic challenge, the wheels come off. Rather like their performances in European competition, they’ve been shown up for how ordinary they really are.

As Brown has shown them to be poor winners lately, they are also poor losers.

I’ll console myself with the knowledge that Hiibernianwho were founded in 1875 went out of business after the big cousins stole all their best players. Then a new club called Hibernian appeared in the 1890’s. And not in a Rangers type way, gone, shut down, kaput. 

Splendid joint effort there chaps, take a bow one and all :D.

 

We can disagree over many issues, but one thing I know in which we are all united is...

If livi have one contracted from contact from a celtic player this must be the fastest incubation of a case in the pandemic as they say it takes at least 5to10days to incubate.

Lennon said it was someone who was isolating who has now tested positive. 
He also spoke about how many folk you can get on a bus, he reckons 3 on a 52 seater. He seems to think it’s a new directive, so he obviously wasn’t told what the original one was that hasn’t changed. Broadfoot explained that it’s advised to have 7 on a 52 seater, but you can have more but you’re taking more of a risk of someone catching it. Lennon moaned about having them needing 20 buses in Dubai, they clearly didn’t do that and his complaints about the restrictions are clearly based on the more relaxed ones they encountered there. Inadvertently he’s admitted to not observing social distancing restrictions they should’ve. 
They took 60 people on this trip, which cost over £250k that he felt responsible for and was unhappy his boss had to apologise for.

Brilliant listening to the podcast as there’s just silence, Kheridene really ripped into him for saying he was pontificating and the panel basically laughed at him and his assertions.

I think your right and probably no more than a rumour that has come from the Twitter post..... sure Lennon has said the covid case is already one of the self isolating ones.... so sounds like it’s not true!

Some do, the top earners is sometimes mentioned. I’m sure CLs wages were in ours but it’s really not that important. Lennon will be the highest at Celtic.
