What a self serving bunch of idiots our board really is. They actually think they are doing a good job in difficult circumstances. How deluded and condescending.
If they don't act soon, the protests will begin in earnest.
It's already too late I suspect. I have no more faith in Desmond, Lawwell and Livingston then I have in Delia, Collns and Kennedy.

No it doesn't only partly does it. They picked the guy they thought would do a good job and he has failed miserably :comp: :comp: Go into RD thread and see why he's mainly responsible.
They picked the guy they thought would do a good job

That's the problem right there - they picked a project, a yes man, a punt, a chance - nothing more

They done this to preserve their own roles within their beloved "model"

RD should never have got near the main job here, no question about that & having become blatantly obvious that he wasn't up to the role once he got here he should have been punted, yet again PL & his ego got in the way.

The demise of our football team has Lawwells prints all over it, he has systematically downsized the playing pool since the huns died which resulted in his first project, a proper Celtic man, walking away from the club. The fact he then went for an even more pliant, cheaper individual in RD say's it all.

We are a joke, we will remain a joke until we chase Lawwell & the tory cabal out of our club.
Remember that Lawwell delivers the objectives set by the board.

Only Lawwell as CEO sets the strategy that fits these objectives and implements (or not).

Either the objectives are fooked or Lawwells implemantation is fooked. Either way, for next season a massive change off the park needs to happen followed swiftly by on the field changes.

We all know over the course of a season we should be better than all the rest, but can we do this with the current board/players?

We have regressed so much when we should be out of sight I believe the suits don't have a clue on how to address this. The fekkers have had 4 years with no real opposition to do this and have fekked it up big time. Time for change. No more sound bites from the suits, and the only recourse we all have is our cash. We can't invest any further in SB and this is from someone who books the big seats in hospitality and pays more than a few season ticket books worth per season. I can't get angry at the Norwegian project anymore as he was always two games away from this shampoo.

Totally scunnered and the only way our absent landlord and the suits will understand the depth of feeling is money.

All the previous posts about the revenue lost over the past 4 years should really show the suits up. At a minimum , of £15M per season to lost is ridiculous. Would the suits allow this level of mediocrity in their Corp world?

The board and CEO are stagnant, outlived their collective worth.

Lawwells strategy is more than flawed, it's not working nor likely to ever work.

Corporate history shows that any time an accountant or CA is the CEO of a company they are risk averse and ultimately they rarely progress.

Risk averse is the correct terminology to sum everything about Celtic under Lawwell. The only issue is how do we get rid as I can't see him going with all his nice SFA & European League roles plus his nice fat bonus?

Perhaps a little tight fisted, spend a lot on various prospects that turn out shampoo but they could also make large purchases that also turn out shampoo.
I think we are very well run and for that I'm thankful and wouldn't like us to go the way of some other clubs who've been living out with their means.
Not saying we are perfect but we could a hell of a lot worse.

I'm happy with the current board.
Hear, here. More invalids and tubs of lard on £25k/WK given 3 year contract extensions while penny pinching a living wage from hard working blue collar workers. Sensible governance. See you in the 19th hole on Saturday old chap.

Just hope any changes in the summer will be enough. A new FD will be coming in, possibly a new CEO but we are still left with the clown that is Bankier and Desmond rulling. We need fresh ideas and faces.

What exactly are we going to do about the board? Protest?


Or will we look at the Green Brigade bring out a banner criticising the board and boo them because they're not backing the team - again?
Bottom one is most likely.

We're allowed to get stuck into the board on the Internet. Do it in real life, at the game? eff that.

Thousands will stay away this week.

If the ST renewals go out this week, not renewing right away is the biggest protest that can be made.

Lack of investment in a company has an immediate positive effect on the books but will hurt the company long term.

This isn't a problem that is solved by throwing stupid money at it. We were beaten today by a team that is worth nothing in comparison to ours.

The main issue is the management and the lack of team spirit.

Still, I'm not saying that I support the board, as they appointed the manager.

I'm not sure it's a lack of investment, at least not on the playing side. Scouting / coaching, now that's another matter.
The annual results show what we spend, I don't think it's spent wisely.

Aye, we invest what we do have wrongly but it's all about making books look good.

And as the player's come in and out Peter gets to hit his bonus. It's a Bingo.

10 in a row is over, it won't happen. it won't be allowed to happen. All we are doing is lining the pockets of this nest of snakes and their wee cabal wi the deid club. When I think of what Fergus did for us, and look at these self serving Tory clowns it makes me feel sick to give them another coin.
The fix is in and it is very clear now. They had many opportunities to push this club on towards great things. Instead they chose to look after themselves and see how it all 'panned' out because, worst case scenario, deidco would be back soon enough and then the hate-go-round money would start to roll in again. And guess what? The board line their own pockets in any eventuality. They have shafted us. It was a win/win for these tory spined clowns. Or so they think. just my opinion of course, Peter.

The amount of pish I took both on here and in the real world after packing my ST in last year was brutal.

'Oh, you're spoiled.', 'Don't know how good you've got it.', 'The 90's', 'We could be like the Rangers'

eff right off. All due respect to the folk that lived through that era, I'm sure it wasn't fun. But something that happened 26 years ago should never be used as some sort of justification for the absolute power of shampooe that Lawwell and the rest of the carrots in the boardroom are feeding us year on year.

With each passing transfer window, we're being slowly dragged into the footballing dark-ages and the majority of our fans are content with it so long as we're just a wee bit better than Rangers.
