No but he did admit that this standalone strategy we have to live without Rangers is to sell our best players.....

Thought the PL interview was fine and exactly what I'd expect. It wasn't patronising or untruthful, I do wonder how much money we have though and hope we can fully fund the ambitions we all have for our great club. I'm more than willing to give RD the time he needs to put his vision for attractive fast paced attacking football in place, and am encouraged by the views he has, as expressed by the latest Celtic Underground podcast. Europe league is our level this year, and truthful was last year too. Hopefully Champions League will be our level next year.

He actually expects us to believe that when we had Gordon before we had a effing manager!!?? Truly shows just how thick they think we are. |

I'm sick of Lawwell, he is a lying, patronising crook. I'm passed caring now. It's too little too late, there's been far too many happy clappers in the Celtic support for years now - refusing to see year on year our club get destroyed through greed. Just out of sheer luck the likes of Wanyama, Hooper and Forster turned out to be decent - can you imagine the mess we'd be in if they turned out to be like the players that were scouted by the same scouts and signed for a similar fee? There's no "model", selling a player for £12 million then replacing him with an unproven £900k player is not a "model" - we've just sold a effing £12 million rated player and replaced him with a player not even deemed to be worth a million pounds. That protests against Maribor were stupid as well. Do you think he cares? The same chants could be heard when Legia Warsaw were pumping us at 'home' and everyone, including myself, thought Lawwell would be bricking it - was he? Naw, what did he do when his career was seemingly saved by anthers mishap? Further weakened a pathetic team by selling our best player. I'm utterly disgusted with everything about Celtic now. Lawwell hates fans that try to start atmospheres, he's destroying the club. The team is infested with cowards. Players who became legends at Celtic are rejecting managerial posts. It's just depressing. |

If we are skint he should come out and say we are skint instead of peddling 6 million for a player and record proifits. be honest with the support don't be a lying fud to boost your ego |

if Johansen was brought in as a playmaker, the scouting is genuinely worse than I thought! |

I am hoping to god that he's making this up. What happened to always budgeting for the Europa etc? We have been well and truly stitched as a support. |

I'm pretty sure Mulgrew sees himself as the next Sinisa Mihilovic but what he thinks and the rest of us, including the manager, thinks is totally different. |

Johansen was a playmaker for Stromsget. That was where we scouted him. I don't think he looks close to being capable of playing that type of role for us - his passing and ball control just isn't up to it. |

Not that there's any comparison between the current side and the team he loved watching ten or fifteen years ago, but that reads a lot like an older guy who doesn't go out on the lash as much anymore sort of drifting away from the thing that him and his young pals used to look to as a vehicle for going out on the lash. I'm sure people have been falling out of love with Celtic for years, I know a few of them, and garbage like we're being served up right now sure doesn't help. But even the writer notes that in his heyday the game might have been the low point of the entire weekend. |

What got me most with that interview was every penny is invested in the club. I.e. Not the football team but the club. So he takes 1 million a year and is seen a legitimate expenditure as it is investing in the club. Invest in the team, not the club. |

It was extremely patronising and untruthful. He said that the manager - and no-one else, especially not himself or John Park - makes football decisions. How that tallies with Craig Gordon being signed before the ink was dry on Ronny Deila's contract, I'm not sure Also, the nonsense about how we could pay £6million for a striker but it's the wages which prevents us from signing him. Well, we had a £6million stiker - and by all accounts it wouldn't have cost £50,000 p/w to keep him here. |

The signings of Pukki & Balde prove what a liar this man is. They clearly were not the managers choices as he rarely picked them. He even picked Stokes ( a player he previously didn't trust in big games) ahead of these clowns. |

Just my humble opinion but there is something seriously wrong with that man and anyone who isn't repulsed by him. If he was a hun we'd be raging at the pathetic soft questions he was given. Our managers have to deal with much more on a weekly basis. |

really angering and condescending pish as usual. noone is asking for spend spend spend or 8million players (which the clown said we could afford and noone believed anyway). its not too much to ask for a few decent signings before the qualifiers

Not entirely sure context of interview or line of questioning but despite not being exactly overly enamoured by Deila I think most Celtic fans are more concerned by the failings of Lawwell and lack of investment in the team. It wasn't a vote of confidence in Deila I was wanting from Lawwell but an admittance from him that he had completely fecked up the signing policy for this year. For him to brings the sons and cousins of William into it and for the club to moan about the struggles they have in attracting players is an admittance that Lawwell isn't doing his job. In my job I don't always have the best product to sell but I still convince more people than not that my company is the right choice and that we bring other things to the table. By signing so many second rate loan signings Lawwell is achieving very little and continues to abuse his position and the good will of the fans. He is now nothing more than an embarrassment of a man. |
