Since MON splashing the cash what has been the ongoing budget spent on players transfers and wages by the subsequent managers? Who got most support and who got best results? Who could not wait to get rid of that manager? What manager got fed up because he had no competition and budget was cut? and given the lack of huns and the fact our league is by and large a one horse race how many players that we go for are put off by this alone? Bottom line is cash is less when sponsors don't sponsor and fans don't go. In spite of all of that every manager has enough at their disposal to pump the champions of a country like Sweden. We have more to spend than they do so when we don't qualify it is a failing of the manager and the players. The board appoint the manager and approve the players so have the ultimate responsibility. Our recent policy of buying misfits at reasonable fees was crazy. The board supported this and if we are led to believe promoted it. The board said death of huns was irrelevant as we were not dependent on them being in our league yet a couple of years later said there was an impact. If you are running a company you have more vision of how it works than your employees and your customers. You have to consider their views however it is apparent this board really don't understand the vision or the customers. It is a very difficult situation to manage however it is apparent that the board are not learning as they are repeating mistakes |

If profit is the bottom line he is good at his job.Football though is not like any other business.Making a profit is worthless if the product,ie the football team ,is under performing.The MON years was successful for Celtic even though we were losing money.If we win nothing this year and make money this is not successful. |

There comes a point when Lawwell and co realise the downsizing has to stop. When is that? Probably if the Orcs win the league. It will be a catastrophe that we grow so nonchalant to let that happen. |

His remit as set by the Desmond and his plc board lackies is to balance the books. He is doing exactly what he is supposed to do. Look higher up the food chain for those who decide our fiscal policy |

We'd make more profit getting to the CL every year. If that was what Lawwell was incetivised to do, but he's incentivised to make money out of player sales. Ergo moneyball. Our strategy is horse manure for a top club. Edited by Wanyerma, 30 Aug 2015, 08:23 PM.

He doesn't put his money into our club anyway apart from when he bought shares.If he walked away he could sell his shares. |

Like all other shareholders I got my annual check in from CFC this week £20 give or take a few pennies! Bet that DD gets a fair bit more every year! So we probably don't lose him money - so he's happy to bump along. He doesn't live here and have to put up with all the crap that we have to from the press etc Perhaps if he did things might just change! |

Invest in the team. attendances are down and we're hoping to qualify for the CL rather than go out and qualify. Qualification = the investment we crave, albeit investment a la Aldi or Primark as we can't compete even with the millions the CL would have lain at our door. There are folk who don't go to the matches when they're perfectly able to do so and then cite a lack of investment as a reason for their absence. They would however have managed to get a CL ticket if we'd qualified.I guess if sevco come up we'll have the extra £50 added to our books and maybe then we will see a bit more investment than what we have done but it won't be because sevco are in the league. Our transfer budget isn't dependant on CL qualification anyway, is it?

We can afford a season of underperforming on the field if it's part of a transition to some kind of new business vision at the club. If people could see a viable plan, there wouldn't be the kind of mass despair that we're currently seeing. The reason for the despair is repeated seasons of underperforming (the benchmark here being Europe, not the SPL) and a board that appears to have zero vision for the future. And which also takes its "customers" for granted. |

It's not the fiscal policy that's the problem. It's Lawwell's interference in deciding signings that's the problem. |
