The fan representatives don't even seem to give a eff anymore. Little moan about the living wage or a decade of cheating is quickly shut down with some tea and biscuits in the boardroom or some signed memorabilia. |

Absolutely. They're going to use the huns to get away from the fact that we are a effing shambles of a football club. |

The fact we haven't yet responded is indicative of the shambles at board level. |

They won't do or say anything until they know whether it has been appealed otherwise they are going to look stupid if it ends up a live case once again. |

It's really tough to see where we go from here. Where Celtic are today and where they should be are truly light years apart. That the football club has been grossly mismanaged time & time again can no longer be disputed. It's not just the last 2 seasons CL funds that their mismanagement has cost us,they did something very similar & equally damaging when they allowed a dying huns to win not one, but 3 successive titles,two which came with automatic CL qualification. We should today be looking at a club that's been in the CL groups almost every year,regularly in Europe after Xmas & therefore a bigger attraction to better. players & managers. We should be sitting here with a squad easily capable of beating the Malmos, Maribors & Moldes of this world.We should be going into future transfer windows looking to add 1 or 2 right good players to improve us even further & with the funds to do it. However several years of our cheapskate strategy has brought the inevitable conclusion. This strategy has seen us appoint 2 managers,whose cv's at the time of their appointment, meant they should never have been candidates for the job.The inevitable result of all this is that today wehave a team so bad that they are not even fit for the Europa League. Instead of looking to bring in 1or2 players we require almost a complete squad. Unfortunately there are no stars left to flog & we don't have anything like the CL funds that we should have gathered.The long term damage that has been done here cannot be overestimated. |

Why is this so low on the forum? Why aren't peopel genuinely using a forum of this size and the like to mobilize? eff the huns thread, we're a riot and it needs fans to genuinely band together and start getting involved. |

I'm boycotting heated driveway companies til Lawwell gets tae eff In all seriousness I'd love there to be another Celts for Change type movement, but there's too much apathy and not enough desire within the different fans groups to facilitate such a movement. |

Exactly. This should be one of the greatest periods in our history in a cheat free league and instead we are a shambles |

Well I'm no getting a tache unless DD sells his shares tae the lowest bidder! I mean cmon mate, surely that isn't the case. Me and you are both born in the 90s so we've seen the power that the internet brings to the table without seeing what the power of the Celtic support could do as we were wee guys. Surely its up to people like us - no actually me and you, unless you want to? I'm not propositioning you, just saying - to get on social media and the like and make it happen. There is no apathy when we want to laugh about Rangers - it's memes ahoi at that point. If we could tap into that unity within the support we could force genuine, positive change. I dunno how - I'm a diddy. But someone out there who loves Celtic as much as you and I do and isny a diddy (it could be you!) does know what to do. They just dunno how to get it started. I'm a noisy bastard, I'd happily sit all day inbetween my work and post all day. I don't do it now as my current Twitter account is virus riddled with my thoughts outside of Celtic which about 4 people care about. If I felt I had the clarity of thought and intelligence to run one and do it myself I would, but I don't think I do. So we need to find someone who actually has the commitment to post and get people involved to share, create, spread the word and effing get folk talking. In the 90s they somehow done a harder task without the web. Look at the 45* and how that was spawned; getting people engaged. Lots of people effing love Celtic, and if stirred into action would get involved. The apathy exists as we have no voices shouting for us. People are hoaxed in by the biscuits with the board. Well, eff the biscuits! Let's get some noisy yet intelligent people to get involved, people who have one thing that others who have been corrupted before haven't - delusions of grandeur they are there to "change the game". People who don't want to be near that boardroom, even when its all cleansed and grand and run by normal people once again. I'm not the one for good ideas or whatever so I dunno if it's down to just sheer pressure and unification of the fanbase through media interaction and forcing the conversation with others en masse. We all have mates who are into Celtic deeply who don't read forums and stuff - do you fill them in on all the Rangers stuff when they ask? Well make them listen about this instead - it's effing far more important for a start. Sevco will have their tea and it'll be shampooey cold ham and chips again, and they'll pass away from food poisoning again. Nothing changes at Celtic unless we start talking about it, unless we get others who aren't online and who are just on social media and the like involved. We won't die of food poisoning, the board will get fat as eff while the squad and the fans waste away from undernourishment of talent, cohesion, unity and fun. It's time we took the three course meals back for the ones who matter - and as you say the only way to do that is to get something akin to CfC going again. That got rid of the apathy first - imagine we had people with talent (we do) creating awesome infographics that are easy to share? That show the state of Celtic? Easy to share photos that feed the info to the fans who won't read the blogs and the long winded claptrap posts like this? Genuinely if anyone is interested in actually changing the tune of the conversation from the pitch to the boardroom, message me. Talk to me. I want change and I'm sick of hoping it comes - with that board there's no chance. It makes me sad that a guy with Ronny's ideas and the like had absolutely no chance of ever implementing - and the next guy who I like as much as Ronny will get the same scenario. At least if we can get Celtic fans talking about the problem we can hopefully create lasting unity and make a solution. It sounds impossible to oust the board but if people turn their Celtic chat to how we can do this, a plan will be formed with actual backing. You never know who'll get involved or what comes from it. What kills me is posting shampoo on Twitter about this and getting one or two likes from the same people. People who already know the script anyway! Let's fill everyone else in on the script and get that apathy straight in the effing bin, because we must all be sick of repeating the same scenario now? It might look different on the pitch but the causes are ALWAYS the same. Let's find a way to fix that, eh? *I know the 45 are mostly loonballs who help nobody but the principle of how that formed was more the example - it would be up to us find the positive way to harness that.

Because it's got to the stage folk can't be bothered. A dangerous bleugh feeling has swept over the club and it's going to take something disastrous to happen. The worst thing that's happened is Aberdeen imploding |

People find the time to release books and do roadshows about Rangers and stripping titles - this is more important, or it should be. So there's no will to try and change that? Nobody is willing to at least try re-point the direction of conversation? What's the point then? Celtic is rigged at present. Without change there is no point to our existence any longer. It's at that stage now for me where it's we need to do something or it's over. I know I love football cause I still watch every game I can regardless of the league. It's not the game. It's Celtic. We're in a effing horrible state and if we don't do something it'll be too late. I don't love Celtic today though - how can you love something that pisses on its entire existence? That may as well be abusing us all? Its pointless. Without something new happening, and fans stirring themselves from this apathy, we're effed. I'll do anything to change that but I dunno what - does anyone wanna try and work out how? That Tories in the Boardroom article makes me wanna weep. Edited by adammce, 7 Nov 2015, 02:59 PM.

@timomouse: Hmm. Interesting tidbit here - apparently, the US "Celtic Network" thing from a couple of weeks ago was deflection... @timomouse: ...had it suggested to me that people from club were meeting with potential partners for a takeover they wish to keep quiet. @timomouse: Not anything firm, mind, but if source correct (and it does make sense), then very interesting indeed. |
