There you go. I’ve sorted it all out for you in about 5 minutes flat (with a bit of help as well from @Ashman it must be acknowledged). John Hughes is the man for the job.

Kennedy is surely nailed on. Cheap, player likes him and well in with the board.

The problem is the fans though who seem to be mobilising and the financial impact appointing Kennedy could have on season ticket sales next year is huge.

Given the history of Scotland in producing successful managers, (Busby, Stein, Shankly, Ferguson, Daglish), you would wonder why they would bother looking outside the country.

Madness. Keep it local. Keep it Scottish.

Jack Ross. Scottish. Already manages an Irish club. Used to the media glare from his time at Sunderland.

The thing about betting on next manager is some bookies will pay out after an interim takes it for 10 games. So with the Scottish Cup now likely to go ahead, this looks good in the context of 10 games for Kennedy

Celtic should hire David Martindale for the sake of the film that will eventually be made on his life

Oh me name is Joe McDonnell, from Belfast town I came
That city I will never see again
For in the town of Belfast I spent many happy days
I love that town in oh so many ways
For it’s there I spent my childhood and found for me a wife
I then set out to make for her a life
but all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate
I soon found myself inside a prison gate
And you dare to call me a terrorist
While you look down your gun
When I think of all the deeds that you have done
You have plundered many nations, divided many lands
You have terrorized their peoples
You ruled with an iron hand
And you brought this reign of terror to my land
Through those many months internment in the Maidstone and the Maze
I thought about my land throughout those days
Why my country was divided, why I was now in jail
Imprisoned without crime or without trial
And though I love my country, I am not a bitter man
I’ve seen cruelty and injustice at first hand
So then one faithful morning, I shook bold freedom’s hand
For right or wrong I tried to free my land
And you dare to call me a terrorist
While you look down your gun
When I think of all the deeds that you have done
You have plundered many nations, divided many lands
You have terrorized their peoples
You ruled with an iron hand
And you brought this reign of terror to my land
Then one cold October’s morning trapped in a lion’s den
And I found myself in prison once again
I was committed to the H-Blocks for fourteen years or more
And the “blanket” the conditions they were poor
Then a hunger strike we did commence, for the dignity of man
But it seemed to me that no one gave a damn
But now I am a saddened man, I’ve watched my comrades die
If only people cared or wondered why
And you dare to call me a terrorist
While you look down your gun
When I think of all the deeds that you have done
You have plundered many nations, divided many lands
You have terrorized their peoples
You ruled with an iron hand
And you brought this reign of terror to my land
May God shine on you, Bobby Sands for the courage you have shown
May your glory and your fame be widely known
And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh who died unselfishly
And Patsy O’Hara, and the next in line is me
And those who lie behind me, may your courage be the same
And I pray to god my life was not in vain
And though sad and bitter was the year of 1981
All was not lost, but it’s still there to be won

Great song :ronnyroar:
