There aren’t anyI see this post is still a fcking car crash, all I see is people bickering.
Can we have a genuine transfer rumours post and a padded cell for all the other crap on this post?

she has one mate... @BluebeardThere are truly obscene levels of pent-up sexual frustration in this thread.
We don't need a new signing. What we need is Lana Wolf to get herself an account so that some posters have the release of talking to a woman who might actually shag them.
I get your point about the OF games but lets be honest last minute stupidity against Ross County and Hearts (that's 4 points) and that omnishambles against Motherwell is what cost us the league. Those three games still really boil my pissSpot on
Win OF games and you win the league
Apart from that gubbing at the knew camp ,nothing in it between the teams and as you say we finished stronger
A team that has just made a major European final doesn't become a bad team overnight ,we all want some new signings as they are needed and they do lift everyone
But the hysteria and negativity from some the now really is eye opening
My friend it's all about opinionsThe sheer vitriolic response to the Sydney game. The constant questioning of decisions made behind the scenes. The constant demand we sack Wilson, Bisgrove and Robertson.
Probably the wrong turn of phrase, but an element of the fan base has lost faith in how we are operating.
I though that the clue was in the term 'supporter'.
This thread is a prime example of why the internet should have an entry exam.My friend it's all about opinions
But I think you are a mile out ,the Sydney debacle was something that was admittedly a poor poor decision ,but the board heard the fans and took action.
I honestly don't think the fans have lost faith in the board
There is a multitude of things we as fans are unhappy about and want to see happen and as a support we aren't known for our patience , this thread is a prime example of it but I'd say confidence in this board is still pretty high
He was not involved in the recruitment of at least 3 of the players you listed in regards finding the player, and influencing bringing them to the club, VVD, Ki and Wanyama. Can't say much more to protect my friend and the info given.Probably true to some extent, but to think the head scout was 'nowhere near' any signing they made a lot of money from is funny. Just so happens he wasn't near the Van Dijk, Wanyama, Ki, Ajer, Dembele, Forster & Armstrong transfers then.

You are wrong.He was not involved in the recruitment of at least 3 of the players you listed in regards finding the player, and influencing bringing them to the club, VVD, Ki and Wanyama. Can't say much more to protect my friend and the info given.
No chance
I can't disagree with mate ,sheer stupidity in the games and they cost usI get your point about the OF games but lets be honest last minute stupidity against Ross County and Hearts (that's 4 points) and that omnishambles against Motherwell is what cost us the league.

I beg to differYou are wrong.
Your friend is full of shite I'm afraid.He was not involved in the recruitment of at least 3 of the players you listed in regards finding the player, and influencing bringing them to the club, VVD, Ki and Wanyama. Can't say much more to protect my friend and the info given.
I have a friend who works in football and has very close dealings with the guy and knows exactly how clueless he is. Park claims to have found the players in question that they made a lot of money from, when he was nowhere near involved finding them or scouting them
Time will tellYour friend is full of shite I'm afraid.
You heard something?We will see …
If you know something then say it n stop with the cryptic pishWe will see …

Still wrong though.I beg to differ
I'd be ok with that and it only being updated when we actually have some!A bit difficult when none exist.
The idea that the head of recruitment had no input into recruiting some of Celtic's most expensive signings during that era is worthy of complete and utter derision. You're a mug for swallowing it.Time will tell
It will end with admin locking the thread again, it’s just turned into a board bashing Celtic love in, just like the last one.
Tags can only have it on the info I was given who is a scout himselfThis is nonsense btw, complete nonsense.
You are talking a load of rubbish to be fair. The board were under fire because of the friendly debacle. Absolutely nothing to do with results or performances on the park.Are people incapable of reading what I'm saying. I'm saying the board got lucky as it stopped the criticism. Where am I saying the team were luck?
Say what now?I though that the clue was in the term 'supporter'.
My team just got to a major European final, sold a pretty inexperienced youth player for £16m, agreed a new contract with our vice captain, and have 50-odd days before the start of the season in which to make some signings.
Hopefully that’s all he swallowedThe idea that the head of recruitment had no input into recruiting some of Celtic's most expensive signings during that era is worthy of complete and utter derision. You're a mug for swallowing it.
Could be a good spot that.
OK then.You are talking a load of rubbish to be fair. The board were under fire because of the friendly debacle. Absolutely nothing to do with results or performances on the park.
Positive loyalI've heard the same plus another in this week which is probably Colak.
That's certainly how I remember it. Of course people were raging at performances, but that anger was reserved for Gio and the players. GVB was the "new Pedro" according to a few on FF.OK then.
I wouldn't even lend it that much credence.Probably true to some extent, but to think the head scout was 'nowhere near' any signing they made a lot of money from is funny. Just so happens he wasn't near the Van Dijk, Wanyama, Ki, Ajer, Dembele, Forster & Armstrong transfers then.
What would the unsuccessful 95% do with their spare time? Sorry, I may have overstated the pass rate.This thread is a prime example of why the internet should have an entry exam.

I remember it differently. No biggie.That's certainly how I remember it. Of course people were raging at performances, but that anger was reserved for Gio and the players. GVB was the "new Pedro" according to a few on FF.
Hope not. @venturablue was interesting, but would that not mean Kent would be off?
Lower/regional scouts all report to those up the chain. I can absolutely, categorically state that is how it will be structured. It is truly baffling that they think anyone in a higher up position within recruitment will take nothing to do with the signing is mind blowing. He might not have personally identified them, but that might not have been his role. They wouldn't have just bypassed them.He was head of recruitment, of course he played his part in the players they brought in. He was good for Hibs and Blackburn have some cracking players too that have been brought in whilst he was there.
The idea that he's simply bluffed his way around these jobs is mental!
Posters completely went over the top abusing GVB I could not understand the vitriol he got after just coming in.That's certainly how I remember it. Of course people were raging at performances, but that anger was reserved for Gio and the players. GVB was the "new Pedro" according to a few on FF.
Strange time and subject the stick your head above the parapet for when been so quiet for so long.I have a friend who works in football and has very close dealings with the guy and knows exactly how clueless he is. Park claims to have found the players in question that they made a lot of money from, when he was nowhere near involved finding them or scouting them
The Athletic have an article with him from last year. I can't seem to be able to copy it. It shows 11 players he scouted for them that they made huge profits on. Exactly the type of person we should be bringing in.He was head of recruitment, of course he played his part in the players they brought in. He was good for Hibs and Blackburn have some cracking players too that have been brought in whilst he was there.
The idea that he's simply bluffed his way around these jobs is mental!
Yeah, it was pretty shocking but to be expected really.Posters completely went over the top abusing GVB I could not understand the vitriol he got after just coming in.
Said he had no tactics couldn't change formnation and could not set up the team all that was proved to be nonsense.
It just sounds like a personal beef on your pal's part (unless he's an imaginary friend of course). He is well respected.I have a friend who works in football and has very close dealings with the guy and knows exactly how clueless he is. Park claims to have found the players in question that they made a lot of money from, when he was nowhere near involved finding them or scouting them
Depends when he left, did he scout Scepovic, Amido Balde, Hoiveld, Fortune, Boerrigter, Juarez & Bangura?I could be wrong but if you listen to their fans the dross came after he left, they are always on the phone ins wanting him to come back.
Aye, but he has a friend who told him it was like that...This is nonsense btw, complete nonsense.
what a user name. The bastards bastardAs if John Park has pulled the wool over everyone at Parkheeds eyes to carve out a 14 year career with them then onto numerous consultancy roles but Fogg from FF says different
Foggs mate is WATP87As if John Park has pulled the wool over everyone at Parkheeds eyes to carve out a 14 year career with them then onto numerous consultancy roles but Fogg from FF says different
You sound more like a disgruntled former employee than someone defending a 'friend' tbh.I beg to differ
You the one running Fog News ayeI have a friend who works in football and has very close dealings with the guy and knows exactly how clueless he is. Park claims to have found the players in question that they made a lot of money from, when he was nowhere near involved finding them or scouting them
