Think this is the most fed up I have ever felt about Celtic.

Obviously I still want us to do well, but I don't even look forward to our games anymore.

It seems all that matters is certain people are making money, eff the football, eff the fans.

The board aren't interested in anything but making money. A good few players couldn't give a eff about the team. Why should we?

Scunnered.

Without a shadow of a doubt Lawwell has to go

But therein lies the problem - the overpaid clown will not be walking out the door anytime soon. he believes in his "strategy" 100% despite the damage it is doing to the "product" on the park. the guy simply doesn't get it or if he does he simply does not give one flying feck.

As a support we are surely getting to the point where enough is enough. We are haemorrhaging fans at an alarming rate but the fact does not seem to faze the board or Lawwell in particular, they simply look for someone else to sell.

one thing I don't understand is what do we do when we have sold off everybody who would command a decent fee?? there is really only one left that would attract a decent price and that is VVD. What does Lawwell sell on after he has gone? we couldn't give some of the useless dross we have left away let alone get a decent price in for them.

we are not buying anything new, nothing with potential is arriving through the door, we are grubbing about in the fecking bargain basements with loans & frees FFS

With the money the football team has generated over the past few seasons, either from making the CL groups or from the sale of our best players we should be in a position to be buying a bit of quality - but that is simply not on Lawwell's agenda.

He is not listening, the board don't seem to care - as a support we simply must let our feelings known at each and every game until the carrots have to sit up and take notice.

starting Wednesday.

after this latest insult & yet another serious failure from our self appointed Director of Football to actually STRENGTHEN the side Pedro can GFT.

Would you give a jot if you were getting paid a million quid a year, and getting to go on a power trip playing director of football?

Edit: I agree with you btw

Lawwell won't go unless Desmond pulls the trigger on him. Desmond won't pull the trigger on him unless something catastrophic happens. Lawwell works within the guidelines given to him by our owner. The guy that didn't even have to pony up the cash to buy us.

No doubt. But I feel for the fans--the ones who pay everyone's wages. :thumbsup:

Agreed - doesn't stop us cranking up the heat on him though. He's had a real smooth ride up to now from the support overall but you can sense a real change this season.

He's ripped the pish once too often.

Surely to eff he recognises the slide in attendances, the boiling point with the fans and will feel the full brunt of what's coming his way on Wednesday. Surely as a business man you would know what it takes to put this right and get the "business" back on track?

There's something else at play here and I can only assume it's his bonus. Dermott Desmond your times up as well. Invest or move on.

He's killing time til Sevco get promoted. He's banking on a little bit of sectarianism to bring in the cash.

Are they also that daft to believe we will still be able to attract decent sponsors and corporate partners?

They invest due to the footballing product. Nike want to see their logo in the CL not at Rugby Park. They're rumoured not to be taking up the offer to renew their deal. We'll probably end up with a joint venture with Puma & Sevco knowing Lawell.

For me this is EGM material. If they continue at this rate they'll not only have a shampooe team, we'll garbage sponsors and a support around the 25k mark. This is unforgiveable considering the position of strength we're currently in.

:ffs:

Scunnered with the lot of them.

I am getting to the point where I think we really need to do something.

I would say we all understand the need to be careful to a certain degree. However, that should not mean standing still. At the moment we can't even manage that. We are going backwards. They are sleeping at the wheel and it is unacceptable.

If the figure of 36K ST's are correct, how do you manage to collect performance bonuses for shedding 33% of the ST's in 10 years?

Blaming something or somebody else usually always works just fine for these guys

The recession :cry:

Scottish football :cry:

The EPL :cry:
