Didn't Mick manage them? Or some other Cypriot team?

He managed a different Cypriot team, APOEL FC. He lasted 2 months

Cypriot football seems a bit stronger than it was, but it still seems strange (lifestyle aside) that he was ever manager. He successfully managed Celtic until 2021, one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Big club off the pitch.

Can't imagine any of the true elite clubs ever giving him a thought.

Also what is someone of his complexion doing managing over there. Maybe between the Hazmat suit and his accent the players just couldn't understand him.

That's a ridiculous claim

Omonia are taking the p*ss.

Depends what you define a "big club" as, sure they are successful but their popularity is confined to Scotland. One of the biggest clubs in world football don't lose their manager to Leicester mid-way through an historic season.

Also your second article doesn't suggest they have a global fanbase, it's pointing out how popular they are in Scotland. Their social media following would indicate a global fanbase, they have a smaller audience than Crystal Palace

Can’t stand either of the Scottish big 2, with all their vile bigotry, but there is no denying, Celtic are one of the biggest clubs if you go by world wide support.

there absolutely is denying that, and I will be doing it

I’m gutted he’s gone, was looking forward to an easy 3 points off Omonia tomorrow.
Paphos are doing well since the Russian owner started throwing money at the club. Henning Berg is manager and he’s got Michel Salgado in as strategic advisor. Sitting at the top of the league at the moment so happy days. 😎

[paphos is blue]

Don’t know what I was worried about, 3 nil Paphos. That Adam Matthews ain’t the player he used to be. No wonder he’s playing in Cyprus.
