Mowbray clinches Celtic deal

The only thing that now stands between Tony Mowbray and the managerial position at Celtic it appears, is as official announcment on his position from either club. After refusing point blank to match the £2 million compensation requested by Peace, Celtic briefly turned their attentions elsewhere.
But as the SPL club crawled back to the Midlands with their tail between their legs and a cheque in the other, Jeremy Peace had little choice but to allow Celtic permission to talk to the Baggies boss, with whom it soon became clear would favour a move to Scotland.
An announcment about Mowbray's appointment is expected tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest - it seems that an agreement over Mark Venus and Peter Grant; assistant manager and coach, is all that is holding up the official announcement.

I don't know in the slightest how Celtic operate, but I do know how Jeremy Peace operates, and there isn't a chance in hell that Tony Mowbray is walking out of the door for nothing. The fans may detest the bloke, but he's made a name for hiself getting what he wants, and if he wants £2 million then you can stake your home on the fact that he is going to get it. Whether it be through compensation or cotract buy out I guarantee you he'll stick to his guns over that. The only thing that remains unclear is the exact figure Peace is expecting. Unlike the rest of the story that bit seems to be unconfirmed. But the 'Celtic source' which has reported back to the BBC seems to have made it very clear that the £2 million they will pay to West Brom will not effect Mowbray's transfer kitty.
