Celtic's Wilfried Nancy has found himself in uncharted waters, and Joe Hart's candid words have sparked concerns among the fans. The former Celtic goalkeeper likened the situation to a "cruise for Roma," highlighting the stark contrast between the team's performance and expectations.
Nancy took the reins as manager just eight days ago, parachuting in from Columbus Crew in MLS without any managerial experience in Europe. This is a far cry from O'Neill's steady leadership, which had Celtic on a seven-win streak with only one loss in his short tenure.
The Frenchman's tactics have been called into question, particularly the decision to switch to an unfamiliar back three against Hearts and name an unchanged team for the Europa League match against Roma. The results have been abysmal, with Celtic suffering two consecutive defeats.
Hart's comments that Nancy needs "the people who appointed him" in his ear have struck a chord among fans, many of whom feel that the new manager is not grasping the magnitude of the task at hand. The upcoming League Cup final against St Mirren will only serve to exacerbate the pressure.
While Nancy maintains that he has seen "good things" from his players and is not concerned about the recent losses, many are skeptical. The lack of urgency in his response has raised eyebrows, particularly given the gravity of the situation.
As one fan noted, "The arrogance of Nancy is unbelievable." Another observer pointed out that O'Neill's work was undone in just two games, and St Mirren will be confident ahead of Sunday's match.
The question on everyone's mind now is: can Nancy right the ship before it's too late? The response from fans has been overwhelmingly negative, with many feeling that the club has broken itself from within. Only time will tell if Nancy can turn things around or if his tenure as Celtic manager becomes a footnote in the club's history.

this is getting real bad fast I feel so sorry for the fans who are going through this... i think nancy needs to step up his game and listen more to the players & coaches, not just wing it like he did against hearts 
those tactics just weren't working out. and honestly, 8 days in? that's way too short to be making these big changes... maybe bring in some experienced coach or advisor to help him get his bearings? at least try to show some urgency & confidence 
! It's like Wilfried Nancy took one look at the job and thought, "Hey, I got this!" 
Meanwhile, Joe Hart is over here like, "Uh, no, buddy, you're lost at sea"... or in this case, a cruise to Roma 
. Fans are gettin' restless, and honestly, who can blame 'em? It's like they're stuck on a sinking ship with the captain makin' weird life choices 
! I mean, Wilfried Nancy coming out of nowhere and thinking he can just cruise through Europe like it's a Sunday stroll 
is just laughable! The fact that Joe Hart had to speak up about the "cruise for Roma" thing is, like, pretty clear 
.
! It's like he has no idea what's going on or who he's playing against 
. The back three thing? More like "back to basics" am I right 
!
. Like, where's the fire in his belly? Where's the passion? It's like he's just going through the motions 
. The arrogance comment from one fan? FOR REAL, man! 
And I feel you about O'Neill's work being undone in just two games... that's a pretty big mountain to climb 
.
), but I need to see some serious changes ASAP 
. Can he right the ship? Maybe, but it's gonna take a lot more than just "good things" from his players 
. Bring. It. On. 
he took over just 8 days ago and already its like "oh we're not doin well so lets change everything" 
meanwhile st mirren is gonna be all over us because o'neill's work got undone in like 2 games lol what a mess 
. I mean, come on, parachute in from MLS with no European experience? That's like throwing a rookie into the deep end 
without any prep. And yeah, Hart's words are pretty harsh, but maybe someone needs to shake Nancy out of that managerial fog 
. The fans deserve better than mediocrity 
️. Can they turn it around? I hope so for the sake of the club and their loyal supporters 
.
.
to represent my thoughts on this situation... Celtic's struggles are a perfect example of how quickly things can go downhill when a new leader takes over without experience in Europe. I think Joe Hart's words hit the nail on the head, though - Wilfried Nancy needs some guidance from those who appointed him.
to visualize the situation:
. Can Nancy turn things around? I'm not convinced 
. Do we think the club's fans will ever forgive him if they don't see some drastic changes soon? 
that's all i'm saying
Will he listen to the fans and make some changes, or will he stick to his guns? 
Either way, I think it's going to be a wild ride at Celtic Park next Sunday against St Mirren! 
, this is getting ugly fast 
. I mean, I get why fans are skeptical, but Nancy saying he hasn't seen "good things" from his players seems kinda...out of touch 
...Interesting
.
That's gotta be tough, and it's normal for people to doubt his abilities right now. 
But if he can't get it together soon, I think some fans might start to call for a change... 
can nancy turn it around? i'm skeptical but hey, stranger things have happened
