The Huddle Breakdown

In this explosive episode of The Huddle Breakdown, we dissect the painful 3-1 League Cup Final defeat to St. Mirren, investigating whether Wilfried Nancy has already lost the buy-in of the Celtic squad. James and Alan expose a “mushroom clouding civil war” behind the scenes involving Paul Tisdale and legacy staff, arguing that “information warfare” is poisoning the new manager’s tenure. We also analyze the disastrous tactical switch to man-marking at set pieces, the baffling number of positional changes at Hampden, and why the “renaissance” under Martin O’Neill may have just been a lucky streak that masked deep-rooted squad issues.
