"Having already become the first Celtic manager to lose his first two games in charge, Nancy, who previously head coach of Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer, has now become the first since the legendary Jock Stein in 1978 to lose four games in a row. It appears the majority of Celtic fans can see no way back for the Frenchman, with parallels being drawn with Russell Martin's ill-fated shot spell in charge of city rivals Rangers this season and unfavourable comparisons to interim manager Martin O'Neill."
"George: Does Wilfred Nancy have any understanding of the Celtic fans and their expectations? They are not stupid, but saying there are improvements with the team performance is just condescending to say the least. I just hope the pain doesn't continue for too long for the fans. George: Listening to Wilfred Nancy is depressing. How is this an improvement? Sad to see this happening to Celtic - embarrassing."
Peter Lawwell announced he is standing down as Celtic chairman citing abuse and threats from fans. The team suffered a fourth successive defeat under manager Wilfried Nancy, losing 2-1 to Dundee United after a Premier Sports Cup final defeat by St Mirren four days earlier. Supporters protested against the board at Tannadice and called for Nancy to be sacked. Nancy has become the first Celtic manager since Jock Stein in 1978 to lose four matches in a row. Many fans drew parallels with recent managerial struggles at rival clubs and described Nancy's post-match comments as nonsensical and depressing.
