Well, who could have seen that coming? Oh that's right, just about everyone.

Turns out you cannot keep reducing the quality of team and carry on as you were.

Before it was waiting till we get quality, now the chat will be "we tried to get players but we are not in the cl you see, they won't come to Celtic."

Fans being taken for utter mugs again. As others have said, the strategy of the entire club seems to be to tread water until Sevco get to the top league.

Said it before, Lawwell is a total narcissist in my opinion.

He has placed himself at the head of the dinner table, makes the chef cook with scraps to ensure he keeps his bonus,
while blaming the footballing environment.

Legia don't have the same infrastructure as us..

There will be smaller clubs than us in the CL this year..

There will be clubs with smaller wage bills who play much better football..

We are being completely swindled, and told that we can't compete with the EPL so should expect this rubbish..

The EPL has nothing to do with it, its a complete lack of willing to invest in the club from the bottom up.

Its an absolute crime we can't create our own players, instead we are too busy scouring the lower echelons of Europe in the hope
Lawwell can fund his summer holiday the following year.

He is not good for Celtic, he is only good for Peter Lawwell.

Well apparently they "spoke" to Moyes, Keane and MacKay.

One of the above apparently couldnt believe what was offered and what he was expected to do with a paltry budget.

The board eventually got a guy to accept the package and tonight he gave a nobody a debut.

Just GTF Lawwell.

Lawwell has become our super Ally.

Comes out with enough quips and says what we want to hear, whilst knowing full well he's banking a fortune while the club slides further down the road to nowhere.
this is bang on the money actually.

the level of gamble thats gone on today is fecking shocking. Our forward line was utter pish last year in Europe, and its been weakened substantially with the loss of Samaras. Gubbed by a right average team. MON spoke about life in the slow lane - we cant even get on a dual carriageway any more.

An absolute disgrace going into this years qualification without spending money on reinforcements. Come September, or even after flag day, the stadium will be half full. And the answer of the Board will be to sell more players.

Pistol Pete will take a deferred bonus when the financials look abysmal, outside of player sales profits. A rip off merchant.

You simply cannot have the main man at the club who makes all the final decisions on the ins and outs of the playing staff
receiving a huge bonus based on profit and loss and not on actual performance related pay.

The board have yet again sold us the fans short the writing was on the wall when Lenny walked out on the club and we all buried our head in the sand. Lawell should be first out the door the salary he earns for doing very little is a joke. As is the line we've actually began to believe "we can't sign players until champs league is confirmed".

The club has employed a rookie manager, on a shoestring budget to save money yet again. And hung Deila out to dry. I now fully expect Forster & possibly VVD to seek a move away from the club in the next couple of weeks leaving us very fragile at the back. We don't have a single striker at the club worthy of being a first pick for Celtic.

I can't believe this has been allowed to happen. But something needs to change.
When the club refused to even discuss paying people a "Living Wage" I asked myself are we not supposed to be more than a club ? Lenny left, now for obvious reasons and there has been little or no investment in the club. We are now about to sell our main assets and I imagine ST sales and ticket sales will suffer.

We had a chance to build a team whilst there was little opposition; we could have utilised fan groups instead of confronting them and been a club that was indeed like no other. But the management seems to be from a bygone era and is holding back the club, for whatever reasons?

The team at the end of last season was worse than the team at the end of the previous season.

The team at the start of this season will be worse than the start of last season.

And that's it, descending ever further into a cave of medicority

Once again, the board have taken us all for mugs. This time they're not even going to get away with getting into the Champions League.

Now we're going into the next leg needing 3 goals without a striker of note. Cheers Lawwell ya dick. Hope your bonus is good.

A million a year Lawwell takes out the club,there is no long term plan for the actual team,
Every waking hour this man has is how to make money instead of a long term strategy for continuity of the team.
He got away with the skin of his teeth against karagandy last season but got found out in the champions league.
Now were found out in the qualifier's.
Time to go and take your 20 grand a week package with you..
