Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I was at CP yesterday on business, and whilst waiting in the reception the board meeting concluded and the board members all came out at the same time. Some right out the building into waiting cars and some up the stairs. But what was glaring was that they all looked completely miserable, expecially lawwell. So much so, the woman I was with (who isnt in any way bothered about football - let alone celtic) asked what was up with them all they all looked pissed off!
Was Desmond amongst them?
Hopefully still in the boardroom thinking "Right, that's those ***** told. Somebody get my Moyes' mobile number."

More likely video linked from a golf course. If anything serious is happening they have to go public as its a plc. Dont hold your breath though.

He's the only one I never seen. Not to say he wasn't there, he may have still been sat in the boardroom or left via a different exit. Bankier, Lawwell, Riley... were all there. I didn't see DD though.

This is purely speculation on my part, no sources, no player's da, no taxi driver but with him being on teh game board of the SFA, his closeness to Regan, his involvement in the European Clubs Association and spending time with UEFA, i would not be surprised to see Lawwell trying to wangle his way into a well paid UEFA gig.

As I said, pure speculation on my part.

I heard today that one of the Desmond's were building a big mansion somewhere just outside Glasgow.

Can't remember where, but the lassie was sure it was one of the family, and not Lawwell, or any other board member. Anyone heard anything?

I've asked for more info :arrr:

Stats and figures - The real problem is the crap for the most part the dosh has been spent on in terms of quantity far surpassing quality

The ting is;
yes, we should be buying quality as opposed to quantity, the lumbering size of our bloated and lopsided squad is an analogy of fitba mismanagement :thumbsup:
but;
SPLOB would nae-doot counter, that signing quality incurs an ongoing higher wage bill, which may be true.
What isn't quantifiable, though, is how much this perceived higher wage bill would impact upon SPLOB's remuneration :ponder:
And for this, and many other reasons, he really needs tae get tae phuk :boik:

13 years ago today Henrik scored against Boa Vista and we got to a European Final.

How the feck did we get from there to where we are now? #downsized and no ambition = Celtic Board.

Nah mate, I have no time for Lawwell etal but that was acheived with players earning wages that were competitive with the Premiership and the rest of Europe. We were paying Henrik Larsson similar to what he would have earned at Arsenal and Liverpool. Similar with Sutton and others. We can't compete any more in that arena. We would not have had any of those players in 2003 because all of them would have went where the much higher money was. Larsson would be on 100 grand a week plus these days. Maybe 150 grand.

Aye, but, No, but, Mibbes;

Even taking into account the seismic swing in UK fitba demographics, it is surely still quite a stretch to have gone from that generational highlight to, erm, Dedryck Boyata et al :ponder:

We could surely still be a CL level team (maybe only third spot finishers, but we'd all take that) if it wasn't for the swingeing policy decisions of the board (i.e. DD & SPLOB).

So we already have our new FD from Deloitte and possibly a lawyer of a CEO. I guess it's different from the usual jobs for the boys mantra our board have. Fresh ideas should be welcomed.
