" Eddie Howe / Celtic "

Statement from Celtic FC:



Following very positive and detailed discussions with Eddie Howe, with the belief that he would be an excellent candidate for the position of Celtic Manager, we allowed time for the process, given he’d previously made it clear he was not looking to return to management until this summer at the earliest.

We can now confirm that Eddie will not be joining the Club, for reasons outwith both his and Celtic’s control.

We wish Eddie success for the future.

As part of the ongoing process we have engaged with a number of candidates. We fully appreciate our fans will be seeking clarity on this matter and we aim, very shortly, to announce the appointment of a Manager with the quality and desire to take Celtic forward and bring further success to our supporters.

Palace job?

Palace job?

Seems so; and looks like he used Celtic as a bartering tool...

Said on here weeks ago he wanted to stay on the south coast and Palace were looking for him to replace (the now retired) Roy Hodgson...

All makes sense, as they are looking for a young, dynamic, forward thinking manager, which ruled out a recall for Neil Warnock...
