If anyone is genuinely considering buying or renewing a season ticket next season - you deserve everything you get.
It won't be as bad next season cause deila won't be there.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepjob is to manage the decline. To make sure we can plod along, making the odd sale to an EPL outfit, maybe making the UCL once every 4 or 5 years, scraping the league.

So, from PL and the Board's view, nothing is going badly. The plebs might be grumbling but when aren't they grumbling?

That's why all this hopeful chat about 'crisis meetings' and 'they must do something' is just - sadly - pie in the sky.

Celtic are currently where PL and the Board expect them to be.
4 points ahead of Aberdeen and playing to 25k?

Doubt it.
So you think the members of the Board and PL - not daft people - genuinely believed that they could appoint a untested foreign manager, consistently and purposefully make the squad weaker and still be playing to a full stadium and remain miles ahead of the rest of Scottish football?

So you think this is where the board planned us to be?

They believed in the cheap option, they believed it would work with little danger to the title.
Complacent, arrogant and negligent. But what's new for a Celtic board?

Arseholes.

I'm not saying they deliberately make us a bad team. It's not like PL and Bankier have a secret ambition for us to not be able to defend a corner or our wide players not be able to beat the first man.

I'm saying they've been attempting to manage a decline in the whole way the club works for a decade, while still turning a profit and keeping us just about better than the rest in Scotland. So mission accomplished.

The idea that the board have some secret masterplan that is just going wrong is for the birds.

They are trying to manage decline. They are making a pig's ear of it though.

I await your football is cyclical post.

Lawwell is Desmond's man. Who else does Desmond call upon for reports? Who else would he ask "why are results so bad/attendances continuing to fall/that Swedish fella Donny not doing his fist roaring thing any more"? I fear Desmond may not have a clue about how bad things are, if he's relying on Lawwell to keep him in the picture.

Wonder when he's next due to attend a soccer match. Then he might be aware.

I fear Desmond doesn't give a flying f*ck, and continues to be involved with Celtic for sh*ts and giggles.

If anyone on here has ever been involved in a project in whatever shape or form that was change based then you'll know how that the last thing that you should do as part of change management is to make the environment your changing worse.

I said after on here after the Legia Warsaw game that we were going about this the wrong way - by trying to change too much too quickly was going backfire on the management. This disenfranchement permeating through the club are the tell tale signs that there is zero buy in from anyone involved.

It would appear that they really did believe their own press and thought that this football alchemy they were going to achieve with Deila was a formality.

They have no plan. They have no vision. They have no clue. They're just not football people. It all comes down to some random bit of "advice" DD happened to get when he was playing golf with a football professional.

We are a rudderless club. DD needs to sell up and move on in the not-to-distant future.

If social media had been in vogue down through the years, some of our idols from times past would have less than unblemished reputations.
