No deal done with Mowbray yet
Celtic are said to be stalling over compensation due to Tony Mowbray and his staff. According to the League Managers' Association, Celtic have not reached an agreement with Tony Mowbray and his staff following their sacking in March. Mowbray had been in charge for less than a year when he and his assistants (Mark Venus and Peter Grant) were removed from their positions to be replaced by Neil Lennon and Johan Mjallby. Mowbray and Grant are being represented by the LMA in negotiations with Celtic over a pay-off, which reportedly could be as much as £1.4million. The precise terms of Mowbray's contract are unclear, with some reports stating he was on a 12-month rolling deal and others suggesting it was one lasting up to four years. LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said: "We're acting on behalf of Tony Mowbray and Peter Grant on this issue and are dealing with Celtic. Technically, they are currently on gardening leave from the club. In the majority of cases, settlements are reached for members of coaching staff within two to three weeks. You would need to speak to Celtic about their motives in the delay. The reason we're representing Tony and Peter is that they are members of the LMA. It isn't the case that clubs have to have settled with previous employees before they appoint new managers - every contract is different and I can't comment on individual ones."
