i said something along these lines when the huns went bust. i said that we should now forge ahead and be out of sight for years to come, champions league cash guaranteed etc etc. i also said that we wont do that and by the time we come to play them theyd be a lot closer than we think. i think it will be a lot closer.

I've long thought that it wouldn't take long for either us or them to mount a serious challenge against the other when one team was in a period of so called domination. All this talk of Rangers needing 3 or 4 years to compete with us in the top league was naive at best, verging on stupidity. For the last three years we would always have hammered them in a cup tie if we had been paired together, because of the idiot thaey had as a manager, and the transfer policy they adopted, but does anybody seriously think that with our current squad we would hammer them with the squad they have assembled in less than 6 months?

I do. Btw if we had qualified for the CL, how were Sevco going to bridge that funding gap in the short to medium term? We have thrown away two lots of CL money as we took a punt on an assistant manager making the step up. |

So here's a question for those who think the Board's risk adverse strategy is the correct way to go; If we're a decent number of points behind Aberdeen in January, why should the board spend money to bridge the gap? Why should they risk any money? The likelihood is that win or lose the league we'll be looking at Europa League anyway. There is no significant financial benefit to winning the league. Why should we risk? I realise that's a fairly extreme scenario, but if we're dealing in purely financial risk then it's probably the next step for a Board happy to piss away the quality of the team for bare minimum... |

Agree with this, if we had gotten the CL money past two seasons and all the added exposure it brings then we would be streets ahead of the zombies for a good numbers. Now i'm not so sure. |

Lack of ambition Sell your best players every year and replace with cheaper versions appoint a coach who has cost us 2 years champions league qualifications when others would have looked to bank champions league money and dominate domestically every year we have did it the celtic way and fkd it up |

World class football club FFS. Nadir Cifcti, Anthony Stokes and Leigh Griffiths as our forward line. Might have to rethink that one Pedro. |

I'm not certain we would actually beat the Buns, especially if we went behind in the game This team have no fight in them, a bunch of cowards who think by deliberately kicking someone to get booked, they will disguise the fact that they done eff all to res erect the actual game (Johansen, Biton, Brown) |

The emphasis seems to me to be too weighted towards buying players to sell rather than giving the manager (and I don't just mean Ronnie) the player's he needs to get a balanced team together. We all knew we needed a left back, a striker and two defenders and we are stuck with the garbage we have and no recognised left back as cover for the one we have. Successive managers are left at the wim of our Director of Football, Peter Lawwell and his ace team of scouts. The manger then has to deal with making a team out of the Baldes & Pukki's of this world. |

The fact that the managers job was offered to Henrik and Roy Keane tells you everything about our board .fortunately they had the brains to knock them back. Lawwell should have been fired after appointing Mowbrey after he had just got his team relegated .spending millions getting him and then millions sacking him. the lack of forward long term planning for a club celtic's size is astounding, trying to gel a side during the champions league qualifying rounds year on year is amatuerish . every season he sells our best players , a few years ago he sold the entire backbone of the side , this year its Matthews, Virgil and with Denayer always going to leave that's almost the entire defence . No wonder Lenny told him to go and do one . |

A very valid point and one that has concerned me for some time. It's great when we get a young player like Wanyama or VVD and they turn out good and we make profit but ffs our sole purpose is not to furnish the lower levels of the EPL with our former players. Lawwell thinks he has found a way to balance the books and make up for the losses the club is incurring in lost CL participation and falling ticket sales. I mean FFS sake he had the sheer chutzpah to say we made a loss because he decided not to sell VVD last season for the good of the team as if he done us all a favour and the natural order of things was for us to just cash in ASAP. We have though reached a point where there is nobody left to sell for serious wedge. The limitations of the board strategy is about to hit them with vengeance. |

Can't see it. If RD was to go anytime soon then Lambert would be the obvious choice |

In all seriousness, and without sounding like something the huns would do, what can we actually do to get rid of the Lawwell/the board? To me they seem extremely comfortable and I really can't see how we get rid of them. Would a protest work? I've not bought EL tickets but I'll still go to league games as I've paid my season ticket. It seems to me that if Deila does fail then the board will sack him and rightly so. However, ultimately Deila is not the main problem as he would just be replaced by someone else of that calibre. I supported RD as he looked to bring something different to Celtic but we have regressed badly this season. We will probably still win the league this year and sadly the boards mentality seems to be just be the best. It is this mentality that could seriously cost us the league when Sevco return next year. We have had the strengthen to completely dominate our game for years to come but the incompetency of those in charge may, and probably will, cost us. Scunnered. |

I'm not sure if Lambert would come with the financial comstraints. I suppose the longer he is out of the game then that may change. |

Sell your best players every year and replace with cheaper [/quote]That's what selling clubs do? Our finances would be a right mess if we didn't. Our problem is too many punts, especially when it comes to strikers and not investing a chunk of the wages in keeping players who would stay, like Hooper & Ledley instead of 7k here, 8k there on bangura & balde plus I hate to think what on pukki, Derk and scepovic.
