7 h. ago Tough baptism for Wilfried Nancy as Hearts land title blow on Celtic

At some point in the future, Wilfried Nancy may glance back and laugh at this inauspicious start to his tenure as the Celtic manager. Pouring rain, a revolting support and a rejuvenated Hearts formed the backdrop. In the here and now, this was another alarming spectacle for anybody of Celtic inclination. Kieran Tierney’s stoppage-time goal should do nothing to mask how unimpressive Celtic were in a game of supposedly high stakes.On the previous occasion when Celtic played Hearts, Brendan Rodgers was still in office. A 3-1 success for the hosts in Edinburgh preceded the Irishman’s resignation and a wait of over a month to hire Nancy. The Frenchman has arrived in low key circumstances. Continue reading...

9 d. ago Transfer strategy and Arne Slot reduce Liverpool to ‘Brendan bad’ levels | Andy Hunter

Not since 2014 have Liverpool struggled so much, with questions aimed at club directors and the likes of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz“Would you say this is Roy bad or Brendan bad?” was one of the more repeatable questions asked in the Anfield press box in between PSV Eindhoven’s third and fourth goals on Wednesday. The correct answer would have been “Don Welsh bad”, given he was the last Liverpool manager to preside over nine defeats in 12 games, back in 1953-54.
