Have always, unlike many, considered Lawwell a sound businessman who happens to be Celtic Supporter. Like it or not his job is to make sure we are in profit. I was also pleased with the appointment of RD....A new guy with new ideas. Right now The Board have to show where they stand, particular in relation to Ronny and what they consider the necessary steps to take us forward. Therefore I see The Board's options in relation to Ronny as, 1. do nothing and expect that the aims we had when he was appointed are achieved this year, ie we win the League. or 2.if The Board have doubts about Ronny, his ability to take the Team forward and win The League, then he must go and now. If Ronny stays, it cannot be on basis of 'give you until January and we will see.'. It must be all or nothing. |

The last year in particular has been pathetic, and the quickest downsizing I think we've ever experienced. £20m+ in player sales and £15m+ Champions League money (neither of which we budget for) yet: We didn't replace Wilson. We didn't replace Hooper. We didn't replace Wanyama. We we lucky Van Vijk came good but he wasn't originally planned to be Wilson's replacement. Griffiths eventually filling the Hooper void was an embarrassment. Mulgrew has eventually taken over the Wanyama role. Lawwell and the board should take full responsibility for tonight. |

Jesus Wept That was even worse than I could have imagined. A more clueless, gutless performance I have not seen since the "glory" days of Liam fecking Brady and given some of the shampoo we have witnessed over the past 5 or 6 years that really is saying something. You need to remember RD is a managerial project, no-one had heard of him, he came from a footballing backwater from a club that puts the D in diddy and the genius Lawwell gives him the Celtic gig? - outstanding. This is shaping up to be a disaster of a season, McInness must be thinking all his Christmases have come at once here - his team have a real shot this season if what we are currently witnessing is going to be the norm. I blame Lawwell for this entire fiasco, a shambles of his own making. A smug, bloated chump believing in his own hype. With the demise of the huns we should have been setting our sights on making the CL group stages year on year but once again, from a position of strength this clown bottles it. We know we will be playing qualifiers in July and as difficult as that is for us we should be doing all we can do to strengthen our squad before these games begin. a modest season on season investment of £7 -8 million is not beyond us. We should be identifying 2/3 players maximum for that money in positions we desperately need strengthening in and bringing them into the club. Instead we get a smattering of useless wasters (see last year) or nothing at all (see this year) Its a gutless strategy which accompanies the gutless shambles on the park. Lawwell needs to go & go now he is contributing nothing to our club, he is bordering on being nothing more than a parasite, sucking up his 7 figure wages year on year regardless of the guff he is responsible for that currently calls itself Celtic. How do we get him out? we need to try something for the good of the club we all support. Scunnered yet again, despite half expecting this outcome I hoped we could at least put in a performance but that is clearly beyond the imposters currently calling themselves Celtic players and the poor patsy who currently thinks he is good enough to be Celtic manager. A shameful state of affairs - well done Pedro, well done indeed. |

Lawwell is a sneaky conniving greedy individual with zero regard for how the fans actually feel. What should have been a season of real strengthening has turned out to be 3 massive strides backwards. Lawwell Out. He needs to go. |

How anybody can defend the board after this shambles is beyond me. I was willing to accept last season as a rebuild year in terms of our current policy. Instead it's become quite clear there is no policy. Sell for profit and hope for the best. A joke. Lawwell has to carry the can. |

Lawwell and the board don't give a eff about making the Champions League when they have over ten million of transfers ready to go as soon as we are out. Fire sale at Celtic Park starts tomorrow 9AM |

We're well aware of how there was serious gross mismanagement at snake mountain over a number of years well our board are almost just as negligible with their gross misapplication of club resources. Not for the first time in our history the board have taken us from a position of strength to a position of decline all with no challenge through total self implosion. The failure to invest in the team with constant downsizing will not only effect us on the park but with the likes of sponsorship off it. With the rumours of Nike not wanting to renew their deal and you can bet the other sponsors will follow suit. We have gotten good deals off the park due to having good exposure in the CL through SKY TV. Then there's whoring out our stadium during the most important few weeks of the season as well as the grueling pre-season flying here there and everywhere to make a buck. We won't be getting invited to these marquee pre tournaments as our name is dragged through the gutter and due to the non-existant product on the park. It's the success of the team on the park that will generate the sponsorhip and ultimately put bums on seats. Peter Lawell has absolutely f-cked this up. We're approaching the iceberg and we're going to carry on even though we're about to take an imminent hit. Lawell must go and go now. |

I'm not all that clued up on how most businesses operate but I'm sure we're doing things back to front. As far as I'm aware when a company is performing well they usually look at ways to expand and grow. Downsizing is usually for companies that aren't performing all that well and need to cut costs in order to keep their heads above water. Our accounts these last few years have been fairly healthy. The board should have been looking to grow and improve. That they've failed to even attempt this is of concern. |

He's not going anywhere so long as Desmond continues to wield the influence he does. Lawwell is Desmond's man on the ground, and as a consequence is bombproof. |

He seems to be playing that game when your petrol light goes on in the car and you dare yourself to see how far you can go without breaking down. I've done 32 miles before shampooting it. Unfortunately, the team broke down last season Edited by TravellingDoctorsShop, 6 Aug 2014, 10:48 PM.

Really? Maybe he should sell the whole first team squad and promote the youth team? |

No it's not, his job is to run the club in the best way for the shareholders. Destroying our credibility and making a team that's shampooe isn't running it in such a manner. But TBH, it's the problem we have when one man, who can't even be effed to spend the 30 minute commute on his private jet to get to an AGM, in charge. And unfortunately, i don't see what option we have? |

No he isn't taking any money out of our club. We publish annual accounts that you can look at to see where the money goes. There isn't a section for 'Desmond's back pocket' |
