That game was a crushing blow. I knew we were out when Berget scored that 2nd goal. |

I'd add our failure to adequately improve the squad in the January 2009 transfer window cost; which cost us the league, saw us lose out on CL revenue, and kept Rangers in business for another couple of years. |

Exactly, bringing in Will Flood when we needed a striker cost us big time. His mistakes and penny pinching have cost us a lot more than what we have gained.Neil Lennon needed a striker for Champions league qualification but got Pukki after we had qualified and even then Hooper was allowed to go when we could have kept him. Was there a need to justify bonus and move players on (player turnover? ). I'd say our achievements have been despite a lot of what he's done. |

Lawwel has once again proven himself to be an egotistical pumpkin. Fans have regularly made our opinion known of the MSM and their blatant negative spin against Celtic, to be met with responses of "Dont read the papers then". And he goes ahead and cosies up to that gutter rag. |

It's not even the fact he's speaking to the press, it's the timing and what he has said that is unbelievable. Firstly, The fact he's spoken to that paper , following the Hillsborough families being here only days before was unreal. Secondly, we're in the midst of a recruitment process trying to attract the best manager we can and he comes out and states "We can't buy" "The Strategy will continue whether I'm here or not". They're also trying to punt ST's at the moment and he Goes to the papers, insults the fans and basically says its business as usual. The fans have been clear with their disgust for many reasons and have been voting with their feet and he stubbornly states its business as usual. It's a PR gaffe of the highest order. I Really can't get my head round Why he did the interview now? The club will be professional in regards to not naming the new manager until Ronny has gone. Shouldn't he be doing the same whilst we are trying to attract a manager and quality players to the club? Unless they have no intention of genuinely pursuing a top manager and he's retaliating first. |

we should have 16-18 senior players with academy players filling in if suspension/injuries etc - instead we have reserve players earning £10k-£15k a week never playing - crazy use of money any academy player should be able to step in as 2nd or 3rd choice, not saying that he should dominate a game, but he should be of a quality where the first team players can carry him through the game without looking lost |

Looks like Lawwell's three day smarm offensive in the press has been a complete disaster. Genius move, Peter. Well done

Opens with: 'The club's fine - you're lucky, and you've got me. It might not be me, and he might be a bastard too.' Then closes with - 'It's all Ronny's fault. He signs the pish. Not my doing - I'm only a money man.' What a cock. |

16-18 isn't enough if your even half serious about winning things and not getting horsed in Europe. with 16 senior players plus academy you could easily be in a run of 2 games a week for weeks on end with a team full of kids playing CL and going to places like Tynecastle, Pittodrie etc, it needs to be more like 21-22 senior players supported by some quality youngsters who may or may not go onto make it with Celtic but can do a job short term. As an aside what the board have created is apathy and that's harder to turn around than anger, the place will be pretty full on Sunday until the trophy gets lifted but I'd be surprised if a good amount bother with the lap of 'honour' |

Exactly. Delia stated he wanted a smaller squad and no loans and what did we get? Money wasted on journey men and players not good enough to get a game and a squad so unbalanced we have midfielders falling over each other whilst we are shampoo scared our one decent striker gets injured. This is Lawwell's doing because it certainly wasn't the managers wish not matter how much he tries to defend hiM. Edited by lenobhoy, 13 May 2016, 10:17 AM.

Also think he is excusing himself from an unpopular managerial appointment. The comment about the board appointment the manager not him stinks of Lawwell washing his hands of a Keane appointment from Dermott. |

In all the press interviews with Lawwell and Deila over the past week, I don't think John Park's name has been mentioned once. I find that curious. I don't know the man, have nothing against him personally. He has been there for 10 years now and holds the post of Football Development Manager. A role which it seems has never really ever been fully defined, at least in terms of his total reach and influence. I formed the impression some time back that this guy, no matter how many football matches he watches, no matter how long his involvement with professional clubs, is pretty deficient in assessing the merits of players. Sure, there have been successes. But there has also been a litany of truly inexplicable recruits stretching back to Ben Hutchinson. That's 28 year old Ben Hutchinson of Basford United, who ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Division One South. I think a proper Director of Football would rip to shreds what passes for standards at Celtic on the footballing side and also wouldn't take long in telling Lawwell what he thought of his player recruitment model. |

First 11 + one senior central back + one senior wing back + one senior central midfielder + one senior central winger + one senior central striker - then either add a senior goalie if the youth one isn't good enough (+another) or two senior players of your choice 18 should be more than enough, but lets say 20 then - you take the other 20 senior players we have, who (I'm guessing) is on £10k a week - that is £200k a week we are using on nothing, where we could use youngster that we have already at the club - lets say that we let 25 senior players leave, we would have £250k a week free, if we then went and signed 5 new players on bosmans on £30k a week, we would still have £100k free every week or above £5m a year without and that is with a stronger squad |
