‘He needs to go’ ‘absolute fraud’ ‘Seriously Chris’ Celtic fans trash Sutton as he stands by Nancy

Chris Sutton spectacularly failed to read the room over Wilfried Nancy as he reacted to Celtic’s 2-0 defeat at Motherwell.

In defence of the former Celtic striker he was on Sky Sports duty at the Chelsea v Bournemouth match. There is no defence for Nancy.

Sutton has been strangely supportive of the Frenchman despite the horrific record of the new Celtic boss.

There were calls for him to be sacked after the defeats to St Mirren and Dundee United.

Peter Martin’s tweet didn’t come out of fresh air. At least someone inside Celtic Park was thinking logically.

Wilfried waffled on.

NANCY-BALL IS BURST

The xG geeks were all over the victories against Aberdeen and Livingston even if their eyes told them a completely different story. Assuming that they lifted their heads up from the spreadsheets to take in the live evidence.

Last night Motherwell let Celtic off very lightly. The first competent domestic opponents Celtic faced played them off the park.

Nancy made four changes as he spread his chaos even further.

Kieran Tierney, whose career trajectory was turning him from an attacking left-back into a left-sided central defender was put on the left wing.

For scoring twice from midfield against Livingston Ben Nygren was played as a striker.

Daizen Maeda dropped deeper and deeper from his ‘Number 10’ role.

SACK THE BOARD

From the opening 10 minutes the concern of the Celtic support could be detected. By 15 minutes it was time for versions of Sack The Board.

At half time Nancy replaced Tierney, Maeda and Paolo Bernardo. Celtic should have replaced Nancy and his ridiculous 3-4-3 system. There is barely a player being used in a position that they find natural.

Nancy adjusted his trendy polo-neck sweater. Michael Nicholson shrugged his shoulders. Paul Tisdale returned from his holiday to watch the chaos that he created.

Sutton has been strangely neutral on the shambles that Nancy has inflicted on Celtic.

Claiming that the Frenchman deserves a transfer window to put his stamp on the squad.

He already has Chris. It wasn’t award winning but Martin O’Neill restored winning results and the all important ingredient for footballers- confidence.

In two training sessions Nancy undone the good work of his handover. There was plenty to be concerned about by his debut defeat to Hearts. Clearly the 3-4-3 system is all important, far more important that the players.

Tisale, McKay, Sutton, Celtic, Nancy

It is Wilf’s way or the highway. Don’t be surprised if there are some big name departures from Celtic next month.

EXPECT THE EXODUS

No self respecting player will hang around to be associated with Nancy if their agent has created an opening elsewhere.

Sutton might be thinking about Saturday’s match and the transfer window but it is beyond time for Nancy to be sacked.

He shouldn’t be at Lennoxtown this morning. His agent should be negotiating an expensive pay off with Dermot Desmond.

Anyone else in charge on Saturday will be an improvement. Well maybe not Kwame Ampadu or Gavin Strachan.

Shaun Maloney alongside Mark Fotheringham and Stephen McManus would offer an instant lift.

Maybe next week they can call in Martin O’Neill.

Dermot Desmond’s hands off approach is proving his downfall.

Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgers created an illusion through success. Peter Lawwell and Nicholson are clueless about football issues. Every area of Celtic is a compete shambles as soon as a torch is pointed in its direction.

Sutton is a distant observer. Celtic fans know that Nancy is a fraud. A soccer-ball hipster miles outside the MLS comfort zone.

Nancy must be sacked. Every hour that he continues is an hour lost. And an indictment on the recruitment process that made him the outstanding candidate.

Outstanding for what? A demolition job?
