O'Neill appointment 'brilliant news' - but fans call for board backing

[BBC] We asked what Martin O'Neill's priorities should be at Celtic after the 74-year-old was confirmed as permanent manager. Here are some of your comments: Patrick: We all know we need a goalscoring striker, we've never come close to replacing Kyogo. A couple would be better and they need to be match ready. Add in a strong central midfielder, a winger or two and maybe a centre-back. Let Viljami Sinisalo take the number one spot and get a deputy in to train up. Gordy: Brilliant news on Martin. The top priority now is to buy players who can enhance the team from back to front, not only domestically but also in Europe, we need to retain Arne Engels and Daizen Maeda if possible and add quality young talent. Hugh: I just hope O'Neill gets the full backing of our dithering board … and his loyalty will not be exploited to the detriment of his legacy. He is taking a big chance and is dealing with a board that like to play hardball while delivering failure after failure on the recruitment front. William: The board say they will continue to back Martin (fully) again. What does that mean? More loanees who can't get a game for their own clubs? Sinclair: Doesn't matter what his priorities are, our board will fail to deliver any of what he has been promised as they are incapable of operating in today's football world. We move so slowly on getting anything done that Martin and the fans will be disappointed again come the end of August. David: Reports are going around that the offer to Shaun Maloney and Fotheringham is a pay cut. What on earth does the board think they are doing? If he doesn't get his coaching team, O'Neil should resign.
