Im not a fan of Ewan Murray at all-a more cynical and negative sports journalist Ive yet to read but his piece is bang on how it is. |

It's a tricky one alright - Lawwell is obviously an ideal guy for the money-men as he keeps the balance sheets looking good; problem is, there's a complete disconnect between that and the actual point of the football club; we've got no direction, no seeming plan to improve, and a seeming apathy growing and growing with the support. There's only one group of people that can change that, and they're Lawwell's paymasters. |

You are completely entitled to call yourself a fan as a fan is different from a supporter. |

Funny as this seems, I'm actually entitled to call myself whatever the heck I want, crazy as that sounds - in fact, I might just pull out my 'No.1 Celtic Supporter' mug right now. If you want to be pedantic, I'll give you the Oxford English Dictionary definition of 'supporter.' |

He's incentivised on the bottom line. How he goes about getting it is entirely up to him. Once again financially he has played a blinder but at the cost of the playing which is all the supporters care about. While every department has been downsized his needs to be closely looked at. |

It isn't really strange at all. If you have the financial/ geographical ability, and are interested in supporting Celtic, then the last four years of Neil Lennon's tenure as manager have produced some amazing highs, and are not short on spectacular lows either. If you haven't found reason to support the club financially during these years, then I doubt you ever will . Celtic depend on financial support from the fanbase. It's how we try to compete with the obscene monies available in the big Leagues of Europe. If you choose not to put your hand in your pocket, that's fine. I'd be curious to know in what other ways you support the team. |

I uesd to think that the problems of Scottish football and Celtic in particular was caused by the 'Blazers'. Compared to the "businessmen" who run us and Scottish football now they seem like halcyon days. I mean they were/are all arseholes and mostly on the take but at least they understood what football was. These new masters of the universe are every bit as clueless as the other ones at the banks and in politics. |

I don't think that it's necessary to justify myself to you, but if it makes you happy; as I live in London, I'm not minded to blow my spare cash on going up to games when the board refuse to invest in the squad. |

If its an official club mug then yes you have supported Celtic in the past, now you are a fan, I have google to so no problem with the definition of supporter. A supporter in my mind is someone who financially supports the club in some fashion or other, whether by buying merchandise, seat tickets, Celtic TV, etc... You are a fan of Celtic at the moment not a supporter of Celtic. |

Sadly I can't see this going any other way. They'll sacrifice Deila before anyone else. Deila's mistake is to try to turn without the abilities he wants to see into his vision of the game- a rather bizarre approach when you have qualifiers coming up and not a penny to spend on players. Makes him the easiest target for first out the door before the root of the problem gets dealt with. |

That's your opinion, you're entitled to it. Interesting that in your opinion, one has to give some sort of financial backing to be counted as a supporter. Fair enough, seems a little odd to me. |

Agreed. I have no issue with a coach coming in and looking to implement his own ideas and not be scared or back down just because some players don't like it. Those players needs to be shown the door!! |

In the short term he is doing a superb job in turning over profits for the Board at the expense of the quality on the park. In the long term I think his tenure will be viewed as a disaster for the club in years to come. Lawwell inherited a fully subscribed season ticket base that has been systematically eroded by his concentration on profits before players. The long term effects of driving twenty to twenty five thousand punters paying up front for season tickets will have serious repercussions for the club in years to come. That is his biggest crime. |
