I think the board reward him for the fantastic value he gets for our outgoing stars and his commercial nous. No matter what anyone says, in business terms, if I hire someone at £1m and he adds value of £1.1m then he is worth £1m. It looks like his role may be being diluted in line with this thinking. The interesting hypothetical question then is, if he was happy to be ring fenced to commercial duties where he clearly shows that he generates more than he costs would we want to keep him on his current terms or is it personal?

I have a impecable source that the new Celtic CEO will be Martin Darroch. Not a big shock as he's been tipped up for a few years to be the replacement. Tried to get a sniff on who the manager will be but no luck. |

So Peter is saying that there is an inherent conflict between development and the short terms demands that a Celtic manager has to meet, it's a bit like learning how to fly a plane by flying a plane for the first time.If Celtic want both things,it might be a good idea to seperate the roles with someone to develop the football club and a guy who has the task of winning from week to week.We can't afford another Ted Stryker or it could end in disaster

A lawyer replacing an accountant. Also I suspect a buddy of PL. Can we not throw the net a bit wider than Glasgow and a coterie of networking professionals Feckin jobs for the bhoys if true. |

If they're judging him purely on getting big fees for VvD, FF, and Wanyama, then of course his salary is a worthwhile outlay. However, the real picture should include every transfer in and out, and salaries. Then you'd have an accurate figure on which to base the judgement of PL's cost-effectiveness. On top of that, you might also reasonably add his degree of responsibility in losing 2 years worth of CL revenue. The value added by that £1m salary decreases pretty significantly when additional relevant factors are considered. |

The point is at no other club is the CEO paid more than they players and the manager nor would their wage as a percentage be as high in comparison to the overall wage bill. |

His KPIs/bonus triggers are agreed by who?? FFS we are a football club-that is the only KPI that really matters to the fans. |

Reading those Lawwell quotes the part about the Academy interested me. No one is suggesting there shouldn't be a link between the Academy and the first team. What is potentially more worrying is that Lawwell seems to be suggesting that we have appointed managers in the past who did not care for that link, at least as much as they should have. The new manager should certainly care for that link. He will also clearly care for the fact that if players are not good enough then he's well within his rights not to have them in his first team. There can't be a Celtic supporter left alive who does not understand that we can't spend big money. Even top of English Championship type money. That doesn't mean you have to end up in a situation where players like Carlton Cole are ever welcomed into the club at the stage of career he is at. That, frankly, is an indictment of the footballing department at the club, and the responsibility ultimately lies with the CEO. He talks a lot about the culture being created. Signing cast offs like Carlton Cole creates a culture all of its own. Having a 30+ man squad creates a culture all of its own. None of it is any good. We are a football club who will only currently be challenged in domestic cups because of their nature, and in Europe. Neither is working out well for us because the standards within the bit of the club that matters above all others, the footballing side, are not high enough. After 13 years in post, that is a complete indictment of the man who presides over all of it. |

The way I tempered the question was asking, if you take the football management (player selection, squad management etc) side out of it and use his negotiating, commercial and regulatory skills then "going forward" then history tells us he will earn more than he costs us. Rather than being the CEO he would be head of Commercial Operations thus using his subject matter expertise and skills far better. Like a player who has been played out of position is there a solution (assuming his ego allows) that doesn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The reason I ask is that there are clues that this maybe the direction the board are moving. Edited by Adam Smith 11, 12 May 2016, 12:56 PM.

That misplaced header by Brown and the goal from Berger knocked the stuffing out of us and the glass jaw appeared again when we restored our 2 goal advantage only for Effe to eff up with his marking at the corner. That game should have seen us out of sight and the second leg a meaningless game. Griffiths was also clean through at 2-0 up only to squander a good chance. Dems the fine margins. Ronny didn't help himself and made plenty of mistakes but the set up we have, wasting money on poor scouting & purchases won't help the next manager if things ain't rectified. |

Nothing wrong with having an accountant as CEO per se. The problem comes when that accountant decides he's also going to be Director of Football. |
