They need the supporters' reps to turn on them. Some of them like their tea and biscuits too much. |

The Word of DD is The Law(well) at CP. PL does DD's bidding. The rest are self-entitled onlookers, providing window dressing in a simulacrum of corporate governance. Edited by Faust, 15 Sep 2015, 01:54 PM.

You do actually know who's on the board and what they do for a living? You've built yourself quite a little fantasy where our board of directors are scared to stand up to peter lawwell. It's mental |

There's some guys who seem to know a hell of a lot about the functioning of the Celtic board and the personalities and their motivations. An amazing amount given they're a million miles away from it. |

But you are either close to it or giving the impression you are. Either way your posts on the subject are so one-note as to be absolutely irrelevant. Whatever the scenario being discussed you then work out how you can back the board and Lawwell on it. You ask for balance yet provide none. |

If they were really applying proper scrutiny & governance PL's performance would have seen him binned by a truly vigilant board a long time since. Some people on here do know some of the board players, and close planets of the club. One of the most important men in the history of the club, and a highly successful businessman to boot, told me a while ago that DD's voivce was the only one that mattered at CP. Another high-achiever in business, with impeccable contacts at the club, was adamant that PL's only KPI was to ensure that DD did not have to shell out a penny for Celtic. For that he gets his £1m pa. Accountants should never be CEs at football clubs, unless they are someone else's tool. As in our case. |

Good luck with the letter. I wrote to Tommy Burns 20 years ago asking why he was persisting with Gordon Marshall and despite the lovely reply, he still did... |

We've been downsizing since Seville and we have, for the most part, sat idly by. Everything about the club screams amatuer at the moment. Time for a change

you're digging me up for one-note posts on here? And for lack of balance on this thread? Have you actually read it? There's no balance in this thread at all, just poorly informed attacks based on nothing more than guess work about what actually happens in the boardroom at Celtic. You make a good point though, the mass hysteria on this thread does make kds seem pretty irrelevant |

you're not the only person who knows people. But then any idiot can work out its not as simple as DD calling the shots and PL simply doing his bidding, it's just really simplistic and from what I know it's far from the truth. For one thing the idea that someone like Ian livingstone sits on the board and sits by while DD runs the company for his own personal gain with total disregard for corporate governance? What about previous board members, chairmen? All spineless or in on the con? Your point about accountants running football is just stupid, it's your opinion and nothing more. You do know that people aren't accountants by birth and that they can do other things, especially when they've been doing it for 10 years. I don't think the majority of the ftse CEOs who had their grounding in accountancy would consider themselves to be accountants even if you do. You'd best tell man united they've got a wrong un in charge |

More dangerous is the hysterical complacency evident on this thread. Have you actually been to CP recently? The apathy is rampant & the seats are half-empty. |

Two champions League group stage qualifications in seven years and only once in tha time has the team who knocked us out been seeded above us - Arsenal Eight trophies in seven years when for the last three we have had no real competition domestically in terms of finance Huge numbers of empty seats, falling turnover There is something clearly not right just now and yet our CEO - who it would appear is bombproof - says all is going swimmingly. Under PL & DD we are going nowhere. |

The kind of expenditure around Seville time wasn't sustainable. It's the infrastructure: scouting, wage structure, youth system, coaching that's not up to it. |

Exactly. It's not the amount of transfer spending that's the problem - it's the amount we piss up the wall on the Amido Baldes, Derk Boerrigters and Stefan Šćepovićs of this world that leads to us being routinely destroyed in European qualifiers by teams with far less money than we have. |
