The point of these interviews is to 'nip in the bud' the growing discontent amongst our support. The fact he thinks that can be achieved by rushing out the same old platitudes & pish shows what an arrogant arsehole he truly is.

Lawwell: He's sharing the pain but keeping the head... It's PHASE TWO!
Invested heavily; he said he handed over £30m to Lenny over his time here.
He said there is a lack of understanding from supporters when they ask to have money spent on players - it reckless.
He did acknowledge that a number of transfers havent worked, but it happens and so nobody will be falling on their sword for it.
The fabled '£8M' player is now '£4-5M' player. Its difficult - we're the best club of all the small nations says he.

Not only did he openly contradict himself a number of times (we're NOT going to be effected by *angers not being there but sold players to make the money up - huh?) he looked panicked - even if he was in effect talking to himself in the mirror answering his own questions.

Dermot read the Mail piece with Johan and phoned him from the range at 5am telling him that was not on. So while he tried not to be pointing the finger elsewhere thats exactly what he ended up doing. Murray in his pomp (cant compare Lawwell to Allan MacDonald, could you?) would bat back criticism as ridiculous whereas Peter's method is to initially agree but to reel off a number of reasons why its wrong.

Appeared that he had a bouncer standing behind him :lol:

So how exactly has it taken so long to acquire a striker of note if we "get more right than we get wrong"?

Bull crap.

Please go now. Your strategy is just wrong, if you love the club as you state do the honest thing and just leave us alone please. That will give us another 1 million ayear to invest.

"Have we replaced Gary Hooper?"

The answer you couldn't bring yourself to say Mr Lawwell is " naw, not even close"

I don't imagine there was ever any realistic prospect of a grilling from the inquisitorial titans of CelticTV

Made a right mess of referencing his earlier comments on the deid mob I thought. We're seeing proof of our totally independent strategy apparently...but we do have less money cos they aren't here and make up the shortfall by selling.

Eh... :ponder:

He's at it. Won't have convinced many but there will still be a rump of his apostles now sent out to repeat vague and woolly nonsense about football being cyclical.

Delighted with five we've brought in. Like to add one more and are working hard on it


That one is presumably Scepovic, so once he's confirmed don't expect anyone else to come in.

Get this useless tosser to eff.

PL is a great CEO.

Just not for a football club like ours.

Like most such individuals, he is mince in front of a camera. You can tell he doesn't believe a word of it himself which is the worst type of deception.

edit: my typing is worse than my spelling honest.

More BS from Lawell. Least he admitted that we haven't replaced Hooper.

The answer to the Hooper one, the true answer, is “not even remotely close”. Perhaps the boat should have been pushed out just a wee bit to keep instead of the wages offered to a succession of strikers not worthy of the jersey.

"Judgement" - well get the "judge" to feck who reckoned we needed some of these diddies we've had up front over the years.

Revenue gap from selling players?

Feck sake Peter - if you didn't by so much dross we'd not need to sell so many of our quality players to cover their costs.
And - I'm flabbergasted he's played the "rangers" card.
Bangura, Balde, Murphy, Pukki, Boerigter (I'll reserve judgment on Stokes and Griffiths as they were cheap, and have input some value (jury out on Griffiths on that part) would more than cover any "shortfall" due to the implosion of rangers.

Like I said - bull crap.

We could have given Hooper what he wanted, and got shot of Samaras.

Wsa quick to mention money spent under Lennon. How much was brought in in that period?

PR interview with in house tv station not going to do him much favours. Kept saying "that's a good question/good point" - maybe because points/questions were put across by himself!!
