Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Entire board is, exec and non exec. It needs cleaned out.
Agree on the NEDs. Nearly all them have been there too long. A few are ex colleagues of Lawwell's from other jobs. Most of them add nothing now.
What exactly do they do, apart from rubber stamp Lawwell's decisions and approve his bonus?

That's what they do. And enjoy the perks of the job and the status it brings.

Clearly they can't tell a bad strategy from their arse, so need to go.

The most worrying thing for me is hearing diehard tims saying they are ready to chuck it because of the way the club is being run. A major shake up is required

Watch Moneyball with a glass of Scotch and a cigar. That's doing Lawwell's job.

NEDs are basically perk roles. You can have some who take it seriously, but many companies dish them out deliberately to people who won't. That's the game.

The board is Desmond and Lawwell.

Occasional Substitute

The whole club(fans included have lost focus since Rangers demise. Too busy laughing at their expense and getting very complacent after we beat Barcelona and made the last 16. Laugh away at them all we want but our club has failed to keep it's house in order and this is the result. With the league being all but won Europe should have been everything for us and not going that extra mile has cost us 2 Champions League group stage attempts and alot of fans coming through the door.

Desmond can't even turn up to the biggest board meeting of the year, so I doubt he attends any of the others.

Indeed.

The price we've paid to look this cheap is totally crushing. Vive la stratégie.

The strategy isn't a bad one, but we are very, very, very bad at implementing it well.

Anyone who actually believes the removal of Deila will bring any positive change for Celtic are delusional fools.

Spot on, the guy is a work in progress, whose fruits will only be witnessed next year.

Any other manager would have overseen Celtic conceding 49 goals in 25 European games, not 39.

Any other manager would have overseen Celtic concede 21 goals after 5 group games, not 11.

Any other manager would have overseen Celtic go 20 consecutive Europa League games without winning, not 10.

Not to mention the energy and fitness, roll on the Champions League qualifiers :clap:

We already pay living wage but have not signed up to the living Wage Foundation with a pledge or whatever. We use zero hour contracts, however.

All Sevco have done today is the same as us, but later, at least that is what they claim as they have not done it yet. Like us they will not "sign up" to anything.

It's the way it's being reported. Also remember that he is quite good at fibs. Who is covered by this announcement?

Catch up, if that.
