Bursaspor up to their eyes in debt. Their top three players earn as follows...
Emir Kaan Gültekin: £9,800 per week
Halil Akbunar: £4,900 per week
Rahmetullah Berişbek: £4,900 per week
... yet we're to believe they are paying Iheanacho £47,000 per week? More Celtic board lies.
Nancy, his backroom team and Tisdale have to go tonight.
Reinstate Maloney, McManus & Fotheringham as the coaching team, and O’Neill as the figurehead if he’s still up for it.
Then we need to get to work on emptying this board of directors.
Wilfried Nancy MUST be sacked. Tonight.
Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not next month.
Every single game under him we look worse tactically lost, defensively open, and completely disjointed. There is no structure, no balance, no evidence of a plan that suits this squad.
Giving this man a January transfer window with millions of pounds would be reckless. It could set this football club back years. Bad recruitment tied to a failing system is how long-term damage is done.
There is no green shoot here. No progress. No reason to wait. The longer this drags on, the worse it gets.
Cut the losses. Protect the club. Get him gone tonight.
Like Tony Mowbray after Love Street, and John Barnes after Inverness Caley, Wilfried Nancy should be called into Celtic Park this morning and relieved of his duties.
Paul Tisdale has to go as well.
This isn’t personal, it’s about salvaging this season.
“We are improving.”
Try as I might, I cannot see any signs of improvement under Wilfried Nancy.
When pressed about recruitment in a meeting with fan groups in October, CEO Michael Nicholson confirmed that Paul Tisdale identified the talent.
We can’t score goals and Tisdale’s £12m of attacking talent in Yamada, Balikwisha & Tounekti have yielded 2 goals & 2 assists between them all season.
Tisdale also identified Nancy, having worked with his assistant Kwame Ampadu for 4 years at Exeter City.
The ‘talent spotter’ can’t spot talent at this level and he shouldn’t be given another window in which to fritter away our cash reserves.
Paul Tisdale has been an unmitigated failure at Celtic, and should be relieved of his duties immediately.
