Can we have a quick whip round to make up the cut in Peter's wages ;)
No, but I'd bet if we got an actual whip we'd have plenty of people who'd like the opportunity to use it.

A bonus of 75% of salary is disgusting.

And what does Eric Riley do to earn nearly a quarter of a million?

It's his contract so he's due it.

That's not the point though. We don't need a chief executive with that kind of contract, everything has downsized except that and it's that that's wrong.
We're now paying a manager somewhere south of 1/3 of what we were a few years ago, and it shows.

When was the last big deal that took the club forward, it's not new balance or whatever cars the players are getting that's for sure.

Get out and get some new sustainable income in. That's what's needed, not hoping for a big sale every summer.

The downsizing affects almost every aspect of our club. Spot the exception.

Everyone is angry and rightly so. However, part of the problem is we only ever complain when these figures are released. We moan for 2/3 weeks and then let it slip away again, that's why he's been getting away with it for so long and will continue to do so.

Some people thought Jackie McNamara getting a cut of Dundee Utd's outgoing transfer fees wasn't right and a bit outrageous. Lawwell's bonus is losely similar. Get the effer to eff.

No chance of Pedro running short of power cards for his heated driveway on those wages.

Not usually one to get into the business side of things but that is effing sickening. Surely the shareholders should be questioning this?

Has the GB done a banner in honour of Lawwell's pay packet yet?

Even Kingbhoyd will struggle to defend that.

Four times what he should be getting.

They'd have to increase their membership fivefold to be able to hold that one up.

Time to bring in a cheaper, undervalued Chief Executive and develop them.

Overall revenue is £51m and he gets £1m of it. Sickening.

If Lawwell is alive and employed by Celtic he'll be paid his bonus. Actually I'm beginning to think that may be the actual criteria in his contract.

Take a look back over the last 10 years.

Whether we qualify for the CL or not he gets paid his bonus.
Whether we make a profit on transfers or not he gets paid his bonus.
Whether we win the league or not he gets paid his bonus.
Whether the company makes a profit or not he gets paid his bonus.
Whether ST sales go up or down he gets paid his bonus.
Whether sponsorship revenue goes up or down he gets paid his bonus.

It's utterly bizzare. I would guess Dermot Desmond wouldn't be the easiest person to work for and would be the kind of guy that would expect an awful lot of his employees but Lawwell manages to walk away with £1m a year just for keeping a £50m turnover business going.

Fwiw I don't think replacing Lawwell would bring the wholesale changes that some on here imagine, (The league we're in and the corresponding TV/sponsorship money available to us coupled with CL football depending on 3 knockout ties in July/August each year means things probably wouldn't change a whole lot) but to see him get such extortionate pay while we're forced to cut back everywhere else is just sickening.
