I wasn't trying to call you out because I agree with your general sentiment but I went though the accounts before and could find no direct correlation with Lawwell's incentive bonus - on or off the pitch. This is supposedly 'extra' money paid to Lawwell which is completely unrelated to performance. As I have said, in the years when turnover decreased, when the share price fell, when profits were down, when we won nothing and were out of Europe early, Bullet Proof Peter trousered a nice wedge. This guy is a cockroach - he could teach Bear Grills a thing or two about survival. |

We gamble every year on long odds against shots but any gambler will tell you that you need to speculate to accumulate.We still show no signs of doing so. We've been enduring the 'custodians of the clubs future' for too long now for it not to fire back in their faces. Living within our means to the terrified scale that we do is the path to mediocrity. |

We will now sign a player on loan and another we've never heard of before. We will go bak to being optimistic for a few weeks and Lawwell gets away with it again. The manager wanted a left back as at the start o the transfer window. Tonight he had to choose between CM and EI. Disgrace |

Is this a wind up? It was the manner of the defeat. Together with the manner of last years defeat and the close run thing the previous year against a bunch of nobody's. The board must love people like you who accept mediocrity . This has been going on for years. The board simply don't care about success on the pitch. It's all about how little they can get away with spending. |

Gamble is the right word. That's what they do every pre season. Every gamble comes down to luck, no matter how 'educated' or well thought out. Sometimes they pay off and sometimes they don't. This year it didn't. When was the last time we speculated though? Surely they owe us that, once in a while? |

Desmond needs to step aside. There are other who would like to invest in the club and supplement our income to the tune of 5-6 mil per year for one big player per year. Lawwell is nowhere near what we should be looking for. The club has downsized in every aspect except in his salary. |

I'm sorry but, as I said overleaf, the sentiment is correct but the facts are off kilter. Lawwell's bonus is linked to neither profit nor performance. I've been through the accounts and he trousered his cash regardless. He has received an extra payout on top of his full bonus for 'positive transfer outcomes' and god knows what that entailed but you can rest assured that Gordon Strachan, the manager at the time, was undermined as a result. |

You don't think there is one wealthy person who wouldn't want to invest in Celtic? Essentially we have Dermot who has put his hand in his pocket to buy shares and gets the prestige of owning and doing what he wants with the club. |

You seemed pretty sure of yourself so just asked the question. Did not realise it was conjecture with no substance, thought you might have found a mad oligarch willing to spunk an extra £6mil on top of normal spending. You tart!

'Frightened' 'Gutless' 'Scared' 'Ashamed' 'Embarrassing' 'A footballing disaster' 'A financial catastrophe' An abject, abysmal, atrocious and humiliating performance tonight - by the players and the manager. At this moment, I have no idea where we go from here as a Club - in terms of players and manager. However, it is patently obvious that a change in strategy is urgently required The first change is to rid Celtic of the common denominator for failure - Lawwell |
