The only thing you would have to say about that, if true, is that Deila should have gotten shot of them or walked. If 3 players (who guessing 2 out of the 3 isn't difficult) caused dressing room problems then get rid of them! Commons and Mulgrew have barely played anyway ffs.

What a load of keech from Phil.

I understand there was a board meeting... FFS mate it's a fact and I don't even have an NUJ card.

No-one will work at Celtic because of Lawwell...

We already have 3 "apply" publicly and Moyes and Rodgers (seemingly) have been spoken to.

Edit - there a lot more than 3 players pissed off at the hapless haddie who was hired to manage them. And, as for the he doesn't mean what he was saying to the press well, blow me down, that's a hell of a scoop apart from the 300+ posters on here who have all said the same.

Three senior players named as acting like spoiled children. Commons obviously one, who would the other two be? Johansen? :ponder:

I won't believe anything he says until John James confirms it.

I'd hazard a guess that there are far more than 3 senior players acting like knobheads. I would be surprised if Commons, Forrest, Brown, Mulgrew, Johansen and maybe Bitton were card carrying members of this clique of malcontents.

It's funny, when Scepovic was here a lot of us commented on how he was getting into good positions a lot of the time but not passed to. It looked deliberate at the time. It was the first real obvious sign of the malaise at the club manifesting itself on the pitch. I suppose Stefan wasn't in the clique.

Valid point re Scepovic as it was obvious at the time had excellent positional sense in the box but got very little service.

Don't see one bit in that article that couldn't have been drawn from reading of this thread in the last two/three weeks.

The CL developing Manager does seem to be attempting sticking up for himself a bit/preserving his CV for his next gig whoever the unfortunate feckers are that he descends upon - PL's project having a pop at PL behind closed doors would have been interesting but then again Ronny says in public (and is still being believed by some of the wise the sages of Kds) that he is still being backed by the Board and it is his decision to leave/he made all the signings/don't blame PL etc etc so it must be a lot of tosh because he is an honest man :thumbsup:

Don't think so. I watched Scepovic play 30 minutes for Getafe the other night and he was at the same thing, greeting when he wasn't played in by his team mates. I think he is just a moaning Mavis.

ultimately, DD is the problem. Why he would give Lawwell pelters for successfully implementing his strategies is an odd one, but I guess that's the privilege of being head honcho.
The sooner DD fecks off, the better. On the proviso he takes Lawwell with him.
Maybe he really hasn't been paying attention and just looking at numbers.

It's like we've been arguing for years - the budgets are fine, it's how they're being allowed to be spent that's the problem. If Dessie was just looking in and seeing that we're winning most stuff, shagging the odd team and a youngster or freebie doing well then he'd probably be content enough. Closer examination and all 28 midfielders, Cole, Kazoo, etc, are revealed, and he's not happy?

sorry i don't buy that. the players don't have a right to make that decision.
they are employed by the club and paid good money to follow the manager's
instructions, whoever that may be.

maybe that's the problem. they're getting paid more than him, some of them anyway. so they don't have respect for him. shame on them if so.

Commons yesterday before he came on, gave a couple of players high fives at the right-end of the dug out, blanked another couple of players and kinda blanked the coaching staff.

Although the fat dick didn't blank the steak sandwich and plate of chips he was munching eff out of at Dundonald last midweek.

By Ralph Malph
Someone suggested Lawwell may well have been going into the dressing to have a go at the players for leaving the league still not won (I know it couldn't have mathematically been won) and it makes sense.

Lawwell must surely be worried about a trophy being presented to a half empty stadium, that would be incredibly embarrassing for the club. Is it really a possibility? One way to help mitigate the disaster that this season has become could well be to present the new manager after the trophy presentation. The stands would likely be full for that.

That started off with a good few chortles and got less and less funny as the res12 stuff took over. :angry:

I honestly don't think it was obvious at all. He looked pretty average most times I saw him and that is being generous.

Agree about Phil's article. Nothing anyone with half a brain couldn't put together from a quick scan on KDS.

DD's MO has always been to make sure the club was run by Scots even though the vast majority of the shares was (is) in Irish hands. His other companies have a preponderance of Irish directors -- has there ever been even one at Celtic during his tenure? I don't remember.

His Celtic CEOs and chairmen have always been given a relatively free hand, though he has intervened occasionally, MON being the most obvious example. None of his other company directors get such autonomy. The idea that DD wants Roy Keane in order to appeal to the Irish fanbase is a KDS tartan floof fantasy. If he wants Keane, it's because he thinks RK can do the job. I'd rather have Moyes but ho hum.

Maybe Phil has been briefed that those days of DD checking the score on his phone are over and that Desmond is going to keep a closer eye on events in Glasgow. I sure hope so because Lawwell's strategy of blanking Resolution 12 and waiting for Sevco has been a catastrophic miscalculation.
