I know a lot of fans have become impatient with the whole Eddie Howe saga. Believe me, I am growing tired of constantly having to write about it (and take flak from the fans) and finding ways of trying to make no news sound positive.

It has been eleven weeks now since Celtic sent Neil Lennon on his way and for about eight of those, the news headlines have been dominated by Eddie Howe becoming the manager. The ‘will he won’t he’ saga has now turned into the ‘when will he’ merry go round and the Hoops fans, quite rightly are getting tired of it.

One fan took to the red tops to display his anger at the whole situation when he emailed the Record Hotline to tell everyone exactly how he feels about the potential new gaffer. Paddy Gowans emailed: “ Celtic should forget about Howe – he’s a mercenary. They should go for big Mick McCarthy. He’d soon clear out all those non-triers and get Celtic back on an even keel.”

Which area of the team requires the most investment?

I don’t really know where to start with that. Mercenary? How can he be accused of that when we don’t know anything about his demands? And Mick McCarthy? Please!

A second fan to expressed his opinion on Howe was Gerry Milligan from Erskine, when he said: “Celtic cannot think they’re getting a ‘No’ from Howe. The ridicule, shame and embarrassment would be palpable, especially if they have no immediate second choice and the process starts again severely affecting preparations for the new season.

A more balanced opinion and factually correct as well. Could you imagine if Howe did reject Celtic? The shame and embarrassment would pass “The Banter Years” torch right over the Celtic Way. You would have to think Celtic have their man or they wouldn’t be so silent. Right?
