The whole interview is reminiscent of a David Murray succulent lamb era piece.
I think it is more reminiscent of one of those political interviews you read and think this guy has really lost touch with the voters (and reality) and his party will have the knives out shortly, or the voters will.

Unfortunately the "party" here is a party of one; DD.

And as the "voters" we don't have an upcoming election...unless of course you count the season ticket renewals deadline :ph43r:
This is perhaps Liz Kendall's pitch for the Labour leadership...to the Daily Mail.

What is the viable financial alternative to the current business strategy?

Celtic are downsizing not through political desire to do so but a reflection of the financial contraints that we operate within.

Does Peter get paid a lot? Yes. Does he do a perfect job? No.

These are different issues from whether the current business model sustainable and sensible going forward.

No, they're not. The CEO is incentivised to buy players to sell on for profit. No coincidence then that he's been filling the team with projects in the hope he can do another Wanyama.

His remuneration package is in conflict with our primary purpose, to build a team.

The financial performance of the club will always be how anyone in his positions performance will be measured. No?

Happy clapper time.

Not at all. Because he might think so, purely due to how he achieves his bonus, doe snot make it so.

Exactly.

Celtic turnover about, what, £40-50 million a year? That's probably the same as 2 or 3 big supermarket stores. Do you think an area manager at Tesco is on a million effing pounds a year?

The man is a complete buffoon.

No.

Absolutely sure about that, aye.

A CEO will have responsibility for operational targets, health & safety targets, employee targets, customer ST targets, loads of things. And there'll be different measures applicable in dealing with different groups of (sorry) stakeholders.

So,PL welcomes the challenge and vows to meet this challenge,but with the same strategy that has brought him nothing but riches and apathy and a lot of dross on the pitch.

Am I missing something?

Any CEO will have KPIs which have to achieved in order to receive a performance related bonus......

He is falling if crowds are dropping. He will rightly be able to offset some of that on the absence of whichever incarnation of the Huns is in SPFL. As unpalatable as lots of us find it a lot of our fans are relishing them being in the same league as us. He needs to ensure something is on the park this year to ensure crowds are up.
That interview reminded me of the puff pieces the press pack did for Murray, all that was missing was a succulent lamb reference

Something doesn't add up with the interview for me. DD is going to be doing the hiring this time. We are looking at managers that are going to want a fair whack as a wage and a hefty transfer budget so that contradicts what PL is saying in terms of no extra money.

I doubt DD is going to waste his time going through a charade to hire a cheap option just to make it look like we tried. Is PL working his ticket to get a payoff and then join Sunderland as rumoured? Does DD know about the interview and its content? There's also the inconsiderate timing and who he did it with.

My only worry about the board is that they will be too complacent about Sevco. With honest mistakes etc, it will definitely be them 2nd next year imo. My worry is that the board could actually entertain the idea that a close title race would be good for business. Too cynical I hope.

Where are these fans that Lawwell & Collins refer to? I don't see anyone demanding we compete with the EPL clubs or get ourselves into debt chasing the dream.

What I do see are fans who simply want us to appoint a sound manager, let him manage & for us to stop wasting what we do have as a result of Lawwell meddling. Expecting us to make the CL is not unrealistic - smaller clubs with lesser budgets manage it every season.

He's so out of touch with reality now it's not real. Giving that interview to the Sun is also a clear GIRFUY to us fans who know nothing.
