We have a charitable tradition which is stil continued and going strong in the current set up, all this stuff about unionists and tories is a load of complete guff. |

Good post. No matter what your political leanings are, it's hard to find much of a connection with anyone at board level right now. Despite all the grumbling, I think they actually care about the club, they just don't understand the fans and what makes them happy. |

Say what you want about unioninsm. I didn't allude to that, though I do find it to be a particularly stupid belief to hold, but that's besides the point. Charities don't make up for the ideology that members of the board buy into. The charities are there to fight against the consequences of such a selfish ideology. In fact, the ideology of the board makes charities necessary. Every club has a charity, but they don't all have Celtic's roots. Celtic just act like we're different and use the history to punt us DVDs, but our actions speak louder than words and our actions are hurting the people we were supposed to protect. Saying the Celtic charity makes up for having tories that cause poverty is like pushing someone out in the cold and saying it's fine because you gave them a hat. We were founded to fight poverty but do more to cause it now. Edited by ChiliPepper, 18 Apr 2016, 07:05 PM.

I do love a wee rerun of the independence debate. It's like getting stoned with confetti. That ship has sailed. A bit like the generation of dominance. Desist, FFS! Wha's like us, right enough. |

I had put this paragraph in my post on the Deila thread but it also belongs here: "Last but not least - the complete ownership, executive and scouting groups can F right off! They have put us in a real mess. They love to blame everything on the EPL Sky money but in actuality, Celtic cant even compete in Europe against teams with a much smaller budget than ours". DD, PL, ER and co.....please just go now. |

You can add football culture to language and weather, in terms of Portugal's competitive advantage over us in the Brazilan market. But Brazil was just an afterthought. Portuguese football has been producing very good players for as long as I can remember. Scottish football, on the other hand... |

There is a total disconnect between those running the club and the support. Whether or not that has anything to do with their politics, I don't know. But i do know that too many of our directors have been overly rewarded and possibly as a result they have a vastly over inflated opinion of both their worth and what they do. They are complacent and whilst I do not want to go down the line of appointing someone from say the CST on the board, I think the boardroom badly needs an injection of fresh talent and some folk whose background is maybe different from some of those currently there.

This. The extent to which they've f*cked this up is absolutely atrocious. We've still got time to steady the ship a little this summer and re-assert a little bit of authority but if we delay and lose out on a half decent manager, or, worse still, go into next season with this haddie in charge, things could go south in a pretty nasty fashion.

Looks like they're deploying the usual strategy- do nothing and hope all these bad things just go away. |

A good few on here are grossly underestimating the influence a manager has on a team. There's countless examples of a new manager reaching heights previously thought unimaginable with largely the same core of players. |

This is just the start , Lawwell has lost all credibility with the supporters, his constant downsizing of everything at the club apart from his obscene salary has come home to roost . the lack of any ambition to actually build a team , the lack of forward planning other than to identify and ultimately sell any half decent players has ripped the heart out of us. |

I agree someone can get more out of them but the next guy is still gonna have Lawwell running things who has as much ambition as an account and will want to get things done on the cheap. How many dud signings will get brought in for the new manager just to disregard because it's a shampooier Amid Balde or Carlton Cole. Feck, we've not had strikers as shampooey since Wayne Biggins. Unless Lawwell relinquish's control of the football side of things then it's more of the same. |
