No apologies about bringing this up again. We are getting very poor success from our recruitment. Ronny is working with our poorest quality squad in years.
The money wasted , even before he arrived , is quite frightening.
Boerrighter , Pukki, Balde, Scepovic have all been complete busts. They cost in the region of £9 million + wages.
Miku , Lassad, Gershon, Berget, Tonev, Wakaso all were players who would have been expensive loan players and produced virtually nothing.

I don't blame Ronny for any of that . You can't blame him for Lenny's signings & the signings at the start of last season I doubt had very much to do with him. There is a viewpoint that Lenny didn't have a huge role in recruitment either.

The manager, any manager , can only choose from a list provided to him by the scouting department. Unless a manager at Celtic has the stature of a Martin O'Neill or a Gordon Strachan then they are unlikely to be able to ride roughshod over John Park.

The landscape has changed and the clubs ability to attract a proven experienced manager is limited. The strategy of using our resources to develop the best young players in the price bracket we can afford makes sense.

We just aren't providing those players to the manager. We didn't do it in Lenny's last 2 years and we haven't done it in Ronny's first 3 windows. Despite spending heavily . We have a crazy imbalance in the squad and our success ratio on signings is extremely poor .

We can scream for Ronny's head but changing managers won't cure the fundamental problem , which is we sign too many average / poor players.

Calum McGregor and Ciftci both sum up our predicament. I have to give credit to McGregor for his efforts to improve himself. He has got better, despite a poor game today. However he , in my view, will never be a good enough player to start in a good Celtic team. We drop our standards when players of this ability are seen as starters for Celtic.

In addition to wasting huge sums on terrible si
