Derek Adams leaves Morecambe. To ‘pursue an opportunity elsewhere’

I thought you were convinced that it was Courts?

[PartyFears2]

Yeah, it’s definitely Courts. We are interviewing for assistants, I assume. 
 

an experienced head to be a co-manager in all but name?

Announced at half time during the England game IMO

Taken from the BBC website:

“Celtic have applied to Uefa for an exemption to allow Ange Postecoglou to become the club's new manager.

The Australian does not have the required coaching badges, with European football's governing body saying the appeal "could take several weeks". 

Celtic are in advanced talks with Postecoglou, who is currently in charge of Yokohama F Marinos in Japan, as they seek a successor to Neil Lennon.

"Mr Postecoglou does not hold the pro licence," said a Uefa spokesperson.”

I’m sure I’ve seen that Courts doesn’t have the Pro Licence, only the A Licence. Would this impact us then, or is it only because Celtic are playing in Europe?

Looking for an 'experienced' no. 2 for Courts. Just make it Jimmy Nicholl for a laugh.

Does he have a "B" licence?

Yeah, for no2 gig. Think he’s part of Clarke’s set up at Scotland 

[Pull My Strings]

I’d be happy with that. Loads of experience at a very high level under some great managers. If it is to be Courts then Carver would appear to be a good choice to support him.

[ArabianKnight]

That wouldn't be the worst coaching set up going.

Looks like the wait is over...

‘He previously managed Kelty Hearts in the east of Scotland league, winning five major honours’

What ‘major honours’ were those exactly? Good to see the Tully not straying from its usual objective reporting.
ETA decent coup to get the ex defence secretary as assistant right enough. Should improve the goals against column if nothing else.

[Cardle is Magic]

Last time I visited this thread the United fans were openly mocking the idea that Courts was getting the gig.

Can't say I'm happy about it, but I'll give them a chance.

I expect nothing more than a colossal fcuking disaster though!
