127.5p seems to be the new price that shares go through at. Are these buys or sells? Is the bid:offer truly 120p:130p with buys currently being met at 127.5p? It seems unlikely that newsflow in the last few days will have drawn out lots of new sellers at 127.5p.

surprised we haven't had an announcement this morning but all the papers are suggesting that we will get one.
Still no announcement on RNS as of 10:59.

fingers x'd ange said to the few he would have liked to take with him - stay at celtic atleast until january, you get champions league football and i see out a tricky initial few months at spurs then we'll see the lie of the land, if all is good, it might not feel so raw to bring you to london allowing the dust to settle after my departure. by then also, there will have been a fair assessment of spurs position in the table, fighting for champs league for season after, or mid table mediocrity/risking bottom 1/3.
as a parting gift would ange leave celtic with east asian transfer target list [japan/south korea/oz]? |
too much backward stepping
agreed wrtmf. And Scott Brown would be a fool to leave a decent sized club like Fleetwood, where he has the opportunity to prove himself as a manager, to go and take a number two job anywhere.
And I'm not sure of the wisdom in giving Brendan Rodgers a large transfer budget!

the scale of ange's task:
'The previous 10 managers hired by Levy have won 62 trophies between them, with only one of those – the 2008 League Cup under Juande Ramos – coming at Tottenham. Postecoglou’s appointment takes that figure to 76, with the Australian winning 14 trophies in senior management across Celtic, Yokohama Marinos, the Australia national team, Brisbane Roar and South Melbourne.' |
Stuart Kettlewell now odds on to be the next Celtic manager.
behave yourself, Kev0856153. 😉
According to oddschecker, Brendan Rodgers is favourite at 5/2.
Kev is not the only person claiming that Celtic will be due some compensation. See Fabrizio Romano's tweet earlier this evening.
He's a flawed manager and indeed his record of signings at Celtic was poor. Still, if the club sell Kyogo and he manages to again bring in a forward at the sort of price/quality combination that he managed with Dembele then the share price will do well.
And I'm sorry Celts... but that's the bit I care about!

sad day. thank you ange for the turnaround. 5 trophies out of 6* we were in a very bad place 2yrs ago
[*in the s-f with rangers at 1-0 up, fa cup, ccv hit the post, tiny margins]
who will he take with him? kennedy? kewell? kyogo? ccv? |
Stuart Kettlewell now odds on to be the next Celtic manager. |
Celtic will get compensation after all since Ange's contract is a 12 month rolling he effectively has 12 months to go. If the rest of the backroom team like Kewill go they'll get extra. |
well, Ange is going. Indeed, he is almost gone.
Career defining mistake. I don't see him getting Spurs into the top 4 for the sort of reasons that Conte articulated.
Imagine the chat with Levy.
Day -1: Ange: "What will my transfer budget be this summer?"
Levy: "£150m"
Ange: "£150m. That's great support. Get the paperwork sorted and I'll sign."
Day 1: Ange: "I want Kyogo from Celtic. He'll be £25m and will be brilliant up front with Kane. That leaves £125m of my transfer budget to strengthen the rest of the team."
Levy: "No. We sell Kane first, then you get a your transfer budget."
Ange: "What the f#!*!#@%"
Asagi (long CCP) |
Gutted to see Ange go if expected he takes Spurs job. Kyogo is 28 and with couple years left on contract so we won't be knocking back an offer of £25m+. Presume Harry will be offloaded to Man Utd to give him a transfer budget. With our CL money and above going ahead, we'll have about £120m net cash so serious transfer kitty available by our standards. |

who says comedy is dead. Cheers Kev0856153, you've given us all a laugh this morning. 👍

He'll be offered multiples of his current salary and will be managing in the best league in the world. He's off if he gets offered it. No debate. The question is who will be brought in to replace him. As you say there will be no shortage of candidates. I'm thinking along the lines of
Jim Goodwin Brendan Rogers Graham Potter Frank Lampard Neil Lennon Steven Gerrard |

Its looking more and more likely Ange will be going to Spurs. Put it this way if he's offered it I can't see him turning it down. He may never get another chance to manage in the Premiership. No compensation due to Celtic since he's on a rolling 12 month deal. |
anyone notice the bargain for 3,000 shares at 133p yesterday? First time that anyone has bought a proper number of shares over the mid and they had to pay near the bid for them. Still, it's a rotten spread. Let's hope things tighten up.
Question to fans: if Postecoglou left, would you be happy with Brendan Rodgers back?
