Ange Postecoglou and the common Celtic confusion around his rolling contract as new deal looms

There are some common confusions about the old one-year rolling contracts typically dished out to Celtic managers.

A lot of folk think they last 12 months and a new one automatically kicks in. But the reality is the deal rolls on every single day.

In brutal business terms it means at any given time a gaffer can be jottered for no more than a year’s pay, rather than the old manager’s trick of landing a five-year package that usually ends up with him walking out with about four-and-a -half year’s dosh.
