Agree. He (Brennan) comes across as a bit of a nodding dog these days and don't even get me started on the comments section... |

While he's still new in the job is his best chance, if he rolls over the same shampoo will continue. |

You are all assuming that PL is deliberately sabotaging any negotiations. Could it be he is just not very good at it? Hanlon's Razor and all that? |

Always a possibility. Either way deems him not fit for the task of running our club. |

While none of know exactly what was said to Rogers in terms of backing during his meeting with DD it is clear little of that expectation has filtered down to Lawwell. Once again this overpaid carrot is making a pigs ear of our pre-season by failing to secure targets. I refuse to believe that Rogers has not handed in his list of priority targets, the danger of not adding some quality to this current squad is there for all to see. Sadly Pedro is blind to anything other than his own over-inflated bonus which will no doubt be getting rubber stamped by his boardroom chums once again this year. Lawwell continues to be the issue at the very heart of our club - we will never move forward with his cautious, parsimonious approach, yet year, after year, after year the clownshoe is allowed to get away with it. I was cautious with the appointment of Rogers, on the face of it we appeared to have woken up but once again the feelgood factor is being eroded by Lawwell's dithering. He simply sucks the soul out of the place. The squad needs improving regardless of any European campaign, we need to wake up FFS. Once again we are being taken for a ride. |

Lawwell knows who the boss is. Bring in Yogi and they'd be lucky to sell enough STs to finance a budget of 3m.

This is what I think. I almost renewed my Celtic TV when the new manager was signed. I thought we might be showing a bit of ambition. I haven't seen antything since to suggest anything's changed. To be honest, I can't say I've missed Celtic TV, over the summer, and I'm not sure that the addition of the SFA's Project Rangers makes Scottish Football any more attractive, or if it just emphasises what a bent charade it is. An ambitious Celtic would be a reason to watch, so I think I'll wait till we have that. |

If the signings have been identified from day one, I'd say that's a notice to the fans that if we eff up in the CL qualifiers for the third year in a row, the new management team will have gone into the tie, once again, with one hand tied behind their backs. I also wouldn't be surprised if failure to back the manager and then an inglorious exit at this stage, saw our new management team saying that enough's enough right at the start of their tenure. You either work for a club where it appears everyone is pulling in the same direction, or you work under Peter Lawwell. Edited by Ned Rise, 22 Jul 2016, 04:15 PM.

We simply have too many players & need to sell before buying. Still PL's fault though. Don't know why we've supposedly knocked back offers for Johansen & Bitton though - madness. Or why we're trying to fish in the BPL waters (other than frees). |

Of course it's Splob's fault. Sat and oversaw a vanity project which has lumbered the new manager with a bloated, ineffectual, and lop-sided playing squad. Now, if rumours are to be believed, scrambling around trying to sign up a free-agent as a wild-card signing, on the cusp of our (hopefully) 2nd biggest tie of the season Let's hope (if the rumours turn out to be true) that he felt the wrath of his paymeisters tongue, to whip his lard-ass into action

Wrong. But, even if you were correct, surely it's Lawwell's responsibility to move players on? |

He - in cahoots with Park - acquires sh it players against managers' wishes, then fails to move them on when they're found out He sells good players against managers' wishes He betrays the trust of managers and supporters The modest achievements managers and teams have made during his tenure have been in spite of him. For this he is rewarded £1m each year. It's effing criminal. |
