And it's got to be, I think it's down to arrogance that you don't change.
When you see things week after week and they're not happening, they're not working, surely you've got to change it.
Surely that's part of a manager's bag.
You've got options and he didn't seem to have any options.
And ironically, Barry, in the first half on Saturday in the Rangers game, if Celtic had an Ademida or a Kyogo
Or, okay, Ian Acho came in on the last day of the window last time on loan, but Celtic might have been out of the park.
They might have been three or four ahead if they had the striker that Brendan Rodgers was agitating for right throughout the summer.
it's a bad habit isn't it it's not it's not a good habit to be in in Scottish football where the demands are so high the scrutiny of every word that he utters it's examined to death the press conference sorry on Friday ahead of the game on Saturday was almost bizarre did you not feel for him a seven minute answer to the media and then he was going to whoosh
Yeah, and again, I don't think there's anyone behind the scenes who's prepared to give him good advice.
And I thought, I'm sure we discussed it, Paul, when he first came in, I thought the first thing he would do would be to embrace Martin O'Neill, sit down with Martin O'Neill, just get his chat, even just a look of sitting down with Martin O'Neill, this great, successful Celtic manager.
and just try and feed off him a little bit.
But no one behind the scenes prepared to give him any good advice.
So what's going to happen in the window for Celtic, for Rangers, for Hearts, top of the table?
So Mark Weady last night said, I think it would be Hearts I'd have to go with.
Charlie, when pushed, Charlie McGrew said he thought it would be Celtic.
Peter Grant said, let's wait till the end of the window.
And remember that was Monday, he was on with you, Barry.
And we expected it to be Martin O'Neill and it is.
He's going to wait until the end of May, isn't he, before he gives you an answer.
Hedging his bets.
