Tiling over old adhesive

Page 1 of 1
Hi, I'm clearing the tiles from our horrid 50 year old bathroom and preparing to lay new ones. Bugger of a job getting the old ones off, but that's just time and effort. My question is does it matter if much of the old adhesive is left behind before gluing the new tiles down. Everywhere I look it says it needs to be removed but I can't think why, unless the new adhesive doesn't take well to the old. What do you think? Thanks Brett
