Bankier :ffs:

The first requirement of a PLC chair is to be a safe pair of hands.
This.

I'm surprised at how much he managed to eff the AGM up today. It was never going to be easy, because our fans (rightfully) challenge the board on most things. He made an absolute carrot of it and should seriously consider his position.

Must be no more than 6 weeks since we last shot ourselves in the foot with the smelly fan thing so Bankier has taken it upon himself to attract even more negative press and to embarrass the heart of the club, the fans.

Never been particularly impressed by Bankier and certainly not a good public speaker at any point during his time with Celtic, nor are his business achievements particularly impressive, perhaps another sign of our downsizing!

The board is effectively now no more than old boys network and akin to a members only club that represents only their views.

Utterly unacceptable, for decades Celtic Boards have exploited the Celtic fans love of the hoops, but this lot take it to a new level.

Time for change

Wasn't there but if he really did lose it in the middle of the meeting then he really has shown that he isn't up to the job.

All he had to do was make a virtue out of the fact that Celtic supporters have strong views and aren't afraid to express them. He could have acknowledged supporters right to their view and respectfully disagreed.

Total balls up which confirms that the Board isn't fit for purpose. Any purpose

The apathy grows. Between this board and the manager I can barely even be arsed watching us on TV at times. Glad I've given up spending on us and it looks like it'll continue.

I am totally scunnered. They just don't give a feck about the fans. All we can expect is more of the same.

Last season ticket I buy until there's a complete change of attitude (and hopefully personnel) at the top.
Same here.
And me

Lord Livingston is a carrot. But he's not alone on the board in that respect.

Do they really believe fans will blindly renew season tickets?
Yeah. Because they will.

Especially given that the mighty Glasgow Rangers will be back next season, I'm fairly certain there'll actually be an increase in tickets next year.
Couldn't give a damn about Sevco's return to the SPL, but this isn't the Celtic I support. I don't think season tickets will go up, but there will be a gradual decline as supporters grow weary of an out-of-touch board and mediocre team performances.

Time for Brian Wilson to go as well.

For many years he has contributed nothing to us. He has lost touch with ordinary people and in particular, Celtic fans.

Indeed, his Celtic connection has led to him securing a deal with the SFA for a new Harris Tweed from the Carloway Mill, where he has an interest.

I avoid him when I see him, but he always looks around making sure he is recognised in this small place.

Have taken time to consider my post after several attempts and then deciding my comments were too strong.

I despair, I really do. Final confirmation if ever it were needed that our board have entirely lost touch with the fan base and the ethos of our Club, not theirs. They are but mere custodians and what a shambles they are making of it.

I would be most pleased to see the back of every single one of them and believe that steps should be taken to form a fans organisation to accumulate savings over the next years with a view to fan control. It will take time, vision, commitment and team work, but it could be done.

Stuff the lot of them.
I think many of us would happily subscribe to a fans' trust organisation that sought to build and acquire at least a stake large enough to block a complete takeover. Can anyone be arsed though?
