Nick Hammond appointed Celtic transfer guru..

[Desert Loyal]

From the daily rhetard:
Nick Hammond appointed Celtic transfer guru 'across summer period' to help Neil Lennon
The former West Brom transfer guru has been out of work since leaving the Hawthorns and will help out with Celtic this summer.
Celtic have appointed former West Brom technical director Nick Hammond to help with their summer transfers.

The ex-sheep goalkeeper will initially work across the summer period when he joins up with the club on July 1.


He'll be tasked with finding new players for Hoops boss Lenny Gaga as he looks to rebuild his squad after the treble Treble winning campaign.

Hammond previously worked with Reading and West Brom in similar positions.

At Reading, he was director of football while Brendan Rodgers was at the club and he also played for the club while Tommy Burns (who knew) was manager in the 90s.

The scum have been on the lookout for a recruitment expert since Lee Congerton left the club to join Brenda at Leicester.


Shitting it !

"We're no paedo's, please sign for us"

 

[Bluebrox]

We should be quaking in our boots!

 

[Brian Laudrup]

Who cares??

 

[longtimedead]

‘Lenny Gaga’

Ha ha ha ha

 

[Ger572]

WHO

 

[Paperskin]

That great an appointment he's been out of work for a year...

 

[Monty_greenock34]

An out of work guy who found players for west brom (a team never in europe and very negative)

Sounds promising....... For us

 

[Superrangers]

That great an appointment he's been out of work for a year...

Like the bulk of their support?

 

[Rangerstillidie]

Hired for the summer period... a superb vote of confidence

 

[Alistair1980]

If that was us making a temp appointment like that and collapsing transfers we would be called a basket case of a club

 

[linthousebear1981]

Was this report written by Tom English?

 

[Wee Dick's Hairnet]

Liking the editing of the report.

 

[DeeCeeTee]

Out of work for a year and only been given a contract for the summer. That's confidence inspiring!

 

[RFC1976]

If he was that good they would of highlighted some of the great players he has scouted

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Matter of days before that reptile James McLean signs for them then.

They deserve one another.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Matter of days before that reptile James McLean signs for them then, as he'd have worked with him at West Brom.

They deserve one another.

 

[fivestarblue]

Guru

Haha

 

[TukTuk to Bangla]

The downsizing continues...

 

[Strathbungo Bear]

That's not fair there is nothing in the article to suggest he has been to prison, slept with his sister or has a mono-brow.

Their manager was only temporary, until they realised no one else wanted the job

Maybe we could offload Grezda to them

 

[Superrangers]

True but he now works for a club that has assisted the cover-up of child abuse.

 

[Bazoo]

Every target they want to sign should be advised what a paedo is and that every game they play they will be called paedos.

Paedos then, paedos now, paedos forever

 

[brain]

It's rumoured his first move will be to bolster to frontline with the signings of Stevie May and David Clarkson

 

[DougieJones]

So they’re only kicking off their recruitment on 1/7? Days before a CL qualifier? There’s high risk and then there’s sheer desperation. Here’s hoping Sarajevo have something about them cause this lot are there for the taking.

Agreed. All they had to do was call the police.

 

[jweebear]

Who?

 

[Superrangers]

More like Alan Johnson

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Strong partnership with Lenitez.

 

[ScottXC]

Seems like they are scrambling.

Their leaked list wasn't exactly earth shattering with the targets on it. Looks like Lennon is flapping and getting his excuse in early. Will be excellent to see him meltdown and blame the sh*te in his squad on someone who only came in for a month.

The most bizarre thing I've read in my life in regards to transfers in all honesty. You're supposed to have a scouting team linked with a head scout who have been succession planning the team for years working on targets and keeping tabs on people. You can't bring in someone on a whim and hope his list of contacts suits an ethos that he won't be familiar with while handing him over a lump of cash. This is a recipe for absolute hilarity for us.

Will he be in charge of purging their ranks as well?

What a summer this can be.

He’s signed for celtic which means he must tick at least 2 of those boxes.

I must admit I know nothing about him but that CV doesn’t suggest he’ll be pulling another Virgil van D out of the hat. It also strongly suggests those in charge of the biscuit tin don’t entirely trust their new manager with the cheque book.

Which is nice.

 

[Superrangers]

Hopefully this all turns to shit.

 

[ClubDeckBear]

They have shat it

Hopefully he’s on a big wage.

 

[giogaddi]

They're basically bringing this guy in on work experience.

Banter years indeed.

I wouldn't trust the lady's front bottom with scissors never mind a cheque book.

I am very keen to watch them progress in Europe this year

Spoiler

taking a trip to Dignitas

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Is this because they’re in panic mode after not being able to sign any of their targets yet? Hopefully more good news for us.

You’d be safe unless you’re having an affair with him!

Can’t do any signing after August 31 so why pay a wage?
Especially when money might be needed for other things.

Pay a scout so that you are prepared for the start of the window and have done your homework over the year.

Who can he scout now, other than the players in the international tournaments. Many are on holiday.

 

[KensingtonBlue]

They are falling apart. 55 is an inevitability at this point.

 

[Ibrox Bear]

I read elsewhere that he’s being employed as a technical director, I don’t know what that means but Lenny must be struggling
Naebody with any sense wants to play for him.

 

[tazzabear]

Please don’t, bud, I get too excited reading stuff like this.

 

[Kingdom Bear]

It would appear that they are using sticking plasters all over the shop .... c'mon Rangers we've got them where we want them .... Lets's Go !!!

 

[BrunoBear]

Did he sign Mcclean for West Brom?

 

[woodster]

Was he offered the job whilst he was in the shower?

 

[BSPECIAL]

Was he not a horse trainer?

 

[ScottXC]

Will they employ him for a further month in December?

Lawell has lost the plot. Tremendous.

Imagine the jibes we would get about being skint if we were only employing a manager on a rolling yearly deal and bringing in a head scout only for the windows being open.
