Nicholson knows his limits. He knows better than to upset the SFA, the paperwork and fingerprints from July 2012 could unfortunately find their way into public view.<\/p>\n
IN-HOUSE<\/p>\n
While avoiding a Q and A grilling at the AGM, Nicholson did go through the softest of in-house interviews with Gerry McCulloch. Paxman he isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Even in that setting the \u2018leading sports lawyer\u2019 looked awkward and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
He has the charisma of Steven Thompson on a bad day. When Nicholson walks into a room the temperature drops dramatically.<\/p>\n
A marked change in tone and some admissions of failure from the Celtic TV interviews.<\/p>\n
Very strange approach. pic.twitter.com\/KoYpQOowDq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 20 Minute Tims (@20MinuteTims) November 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n With his tie off and an open neck shirt Nicholson looked more uncomfortable than usual.<\/p>\n Cosied up with McCulloch on a sofa his answers sounded as if they had been rehearsed. Maybe Celtic TV can put together a video of the out-takes as Nicholson fluffs his lines.<\/p>\n Some fans felt that their CEO<\/a> was reading from autocue. Others suggested that it was an AI interview, surely no-one could be that wooden?<\/p>\n Sadly the truth is that video was real, genuine Michael Nicholson. He said absolutely nothing of note. No targets, no time-lines.<\/p>\n Some think that he confessed to getting things wrong. In Nicholson\u2019s mind that will be his failure to complete the sales of Daizen Maeda and Yang Hyun-jun. You can never make too much profit out of a transfer window.<\/p>\n He speaks those rehearsed words with zero emotions, it actually plays like an AI video, I seriously can\u2019t understand how this guy has a \u00a3800,000 a year job, this is why the world is fkd<\/p>\n \u2014 JungleJim1980 (@Maeda38CFC) November 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Rehearsed North Korea state TV style interview, however they are clearly on the backfoot and the pressure is building, hopefully the start of a shift of attitude within the club, I won\u2019t hold my breath.<\/p>\n \u2014 el tim (@v8xvxhp9km) November 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Hahaha\u2026how many fans believe \u2018A new App\u2019 will solve any problems whatsoever?<\/p>\n \u2014 E-Tims (@ETimsNet) November 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Scripted answers for scripted questions.<\/p>\n All we had to do was buy a quality striker & 2 wingers heading into the CL Playoff & Even after that we still didn\u2019t want to spend on a striker & we were handed an unfit free transfer??????<\/p>\n \u2014 TheHoops??????????
