Nick Hammond appointed Celtic transfer guru..

They don't have very difficult games, but if they do fail to make the champions league groups again, they could very well implode in panic.
 
This summers transfer activity will give the biggest indication of their finances and their priorities.

Survival v ambition
 
Seems he’s on a two month contract. Smart move in many ways. Incentivises a guy who was a total failure at wba, and allows Liewell to milk his contacts. If he fails, Liewell gets to pass the buck without paying a penny.
 
The fact that 3 weeks before competitive football they are still scrambling about making ‘key’ appointments in player recruitment positions and haven’t signed any players with 5+ leaving makes me happy.

Meanwhile we are cracking on with business and have a broadly settled off-field staff. Pleasing.
 
Couldn’t resist a wee look at Kerryfail St and suffice to say it’s going down a storm with Them:

“I try not to get involved in board stuff anymore as it's just too depressing but what the actual eff kind of shampoo is this.

A temporary head of recruitment.

How the eff can you sell the club or its future to a player. This is absolutely awful stuff now.

Lawwell and the rest of that board need chased pronto. It's getting to car park protest territory.

Thoroughly depressing.”

He's came from a good loyalist club.

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 !:)):))

Lol!!!

“
West Bromwich Albion have continued the clearout of their hierarchy by sacking technical director Nick Hammond, who oversaw the appointment of Alan Pardew as the club's coach in November.
Bottom of the table on 20 points and with only three victories in the Premier League this season, the club could be relegated as soon as Sunday, when they visit Manchester United.”
 
I normally wouldnt post anything from their boards, but inject this shit right in my veins!!

That doesn't mean that our business is poorly run if we don't win every bid"

It's not just Turnbull, though. The football side of the business is manifestly poorly run.

We go into the Champions League qualifiers every year understrength and with gaps in key positions.

We spent most of last season with our record-breaking manager and our exorbitantly remunerated chief exec briefing against each other in the press.

We somehow contrived to botch the Boyata situation so badly that we managed to go into the most important games of our season without him and then lose him on a free transfer.

We lost our best striker without replacing him, even though we knew that would leave us with Eddy as our only option up front.

We fannied about with McGinn and lost a player the manager wanted.

In a panic, we gave Mulumbu and Izzy contracts at the end of the summer window last year. They made a combined total of like 20 appearances for us last season.

Our January dealings are abysmal. The season before last, we brought in Hendry, Musonda and Compper. Last season, we brought in Burke, Weah and Toljan who provided a bit of energy for about five minutes and then nothing.

We are so reliant on McGregor, Tierney and Forrest that they have been played into the ground. These are all Academy products - nothing to do with our scouting department. McGregor played more minutes than any other player in European football last season and Tierney did the same the season before. Tierney is now knackered and we have had an ex-Aberdeen winger playing full back for months.

We have unbelievably still failed to deal with the right back issue, which has been staring us in the face for 24 months. And we somehow managed to piss off a fantastic servant in the process.

We publicly tried and failed to get McKenna and Piccini.

We appointed our manager in the shower without considering any other applications. This is a manager who with the best will in the world has done nothing in the game since leaving us five seasons ago which should merit him getting the job.

We've leaked our bloody transfer dossier.

And now Turnbull. It's amateur hour.

The success over the last three years - and maybe longer - has been down to the good work of our coaches and largely down to a core of players (Broony, Lustig, Forrest, McGregor and Tierney in particular) who have gone to the well time and time again. Rodgers' first window was a success but we've been miles off it since then.

Celtic do a lot of weird shit, but hiring a head of recruitment for a couple of months is up there with the weirdest.
It's not at the re-hiring nonces level of weird, but its above sending condolences to recently bereaved one direction members on Twitter. About on level with calling their own fans smelly.
