It’s the Season 4 finale of The Football Booth Podcast, and we’re going out with a bang!

🍀 Celtic’s transfer window heats up:

• Benjamin Nygren and Callum Osmand have officially joined the Hoops, with Japanese defender Hayato Inamura soon to follow.
• However, questions loom as Nicolas Kühn draws interest from RB Leipzig, and Greg Taylor’s Celtic career looks set to come to an end.

🐉 Gareth Bale’s Cardiff takeover update:

• Bale confirmed his involvement in a consortium looking to buy his hometown club, but Vincent Tan is holding firm, refusing any offers that don’t meet his valuation.
• Meanwhile, the transfer scene in South Wales has been quiet—except for the departure of Roko Šimić, who heads on loan to Karlsruher SC. Fennan didn’t hold back, labelling Cardiff a “somewhat graveyard for strikers” after Šimić failed to get his chance.

🎮 FM Challenge Season 4 complete:

• Fennan lifted the Ligue 1 title,
• Gondor and Mayhem both secured 2nd place finishes and celebrated French Cup triumphs.
  With Season 4 now in the books, the big question remains: will the boys return for Season 5 to chase Champions League glory?

Join us as we wrap up another dramatic season and look ahead to what the future holds on The Football Booth Podcast!

🍀 Celtic’s transfer frustrations: Deals for Benjamin Nygren and Callum Osmand are close, but Mayhem isn’t holding back on the lack of urgency from the board.
