Celtic going down the pan now?

[Twiggster]

Celtic first-team coach Alan Thompson has been dismissed by the club, according to his lawyer.

The former midfielder joined Celtic in June 2010, when he was appointed by manager Neil Lennon alongside assistant boss Johan Mjallby following the sacking of Tony Mowbray.

Thompson is a former Celtic player and a former team-mate of Lennon's.

His lawyer, Margaret Gribbon, of Glasgow-based Bridge Litigation, said in a statement: "I can confirm that I have been instructed to act on behalf of Alan Thompson following his dismissal by Celtic FC.

"Alan was informed of the decision to terminate his employment with immediate effect in a telephone conversation with the club manager Neil Lennon."

Thompson played for the Glasgow club between 2000 and 2007, winning four Scottish Premier League titles and three Scottish Cups.

Nobody from Celtic was immediately available to comment.

I hope they implode now. They didn't even have the guts to tell him to his face. SCUM.

How does any of the above show they're going down the pan.

And why was this posted on a LEEDS messageboard

The news this morning is that Thompson refused to meet with Lennon - whatever that was about - and hence the dismissal had to come in a phone call.

If LUFC was run half as well as Celtic are from a financial point of view, then, there would be fewer unhappy posters on here.

How does any of the above show they're going down the pan.

Just an example of Oor Twiggs's anti-Scottish futbae mentality, I think.
