"Celtic do not have a monopoly on bad decision-making. It just currently feels as if that is the case. A club who have dominated in Scotland for more than a decade, who have vast resources and more scope to plan than others of much lower stature, should never have been seeking a fourth manager in one season. That they are points firmly towards a lack of strategy and direction. It is a preposterous situation."
"It took more than 40 days to hire Nancy, who duly lasted 33. He had no adequate credentials for this post and a one-dimensional outlook that failed even against moderate opposition in Scotland. Paul Tisdale, the head of football operations, is the sacrificial lamb. It was always extraordinary that an individual whose claim to fame is managing Exeter could be handed any degree of power at a club of Celtic's size. Tisdale's exit, like Nancy's, will not trigger any tears."
Celtic appointed Wilfried Nancy after a protracted 40-day hiring process; Nancy lasted only 33 days and lacked adequate credentials. The club confirmed Martin O'Neill's return while office bearers expressed disappointment over the Nancy appointment. Paul Tisdale, head of football operations, faces exit amid criticism for granting power despite a limited résumé. Celtic sought a fourth manager in one season, revealing a lack of strategy and direction. The squad has declined from former strengths, transfers were not secured before key matches, senior players doubted Nancy, and Nancy's ideological approach proved ineffective.
