On the plus side, in light of Lawwell getting us over £11m on the sales of Forster and Watt, and an outlay of £0, I'd like to see us absorb the profits back into club accounts. Offset some of the running costs of the club. Perhaps make the balance sheet look a bit better, and trigger bonus payments for some of the club's directors and officials. And don't worry about replacing Forster - are you not aware we already signed his replacement, even before he left? I would like to see this repeated on an annual basis, and if any of you effers disagree with me over this I will have my finest legislators onto you in a minute, to file your effing heads into a cabinet that cannot be unlocked and paper cut you to within an inch of your miserable lives. Buy more merchandise and season tickets while you're at it, you effing tramps. |

Then he clearly should be going through the motions of finding his next job. The huns aren't coming back next season, they're a busted flush. They'll be liquidated again or if they manage to somehow scrape through they will finish third if lucky. We should be out of sight already given the circumstances we're fortunate enough to find ourselves. Complete corporate negligence. As Mikeybhoy77 mentioned, the most important week of Lawwells professional life, and he's blown it. Twist. |

Yep, have a feeling it will take a disaster (or at least a looming one) in the league to force DD to force the board to be at least seen to do something. Might even happen this season if we continue loaning in players who would fit in at the likes of ICT. Edited by drks, 12 Aug 2014, 01:39 AM.

Perhaps the most damaging thing to the continued support of the fans is that as soon as any of our players display the sort of talent we expect of Celtic players, they're punted out the door. The fans will simply stop turning up in number to watch an inferior team on the pitch. But ultimately, for Lawwell and others, it won't matter a eff. They're like the traders in Wolf of Wall Street - they deal in cold hard cash (or £1m annual pay, in Lawwell's case) regardless of the performance on the pitch; if the whole 'policy' crashes, they're the only ones to have walked away with cash in the bank. They're objectives are completely removed from the objectives of the team, manager and players. And most definitely the fans. |

He needs reigning in and pointed in a football oriented direction, they all do, board and DD also. They are taking cautious prudence to ridiculous levels of stupidity and negligence, and they don't know how to put the brakes on. Seeking value for money is well and good, but you get the feeling that they have been sitting on their hands without any speculative or slightly expensive signings lined up whatsoever. Football is nothing without the fans. Football is not profitable without the fans. That's your banner right there. Edited by Wee Red, 12 Aug 2014, 02:53 AM.

Every comment from this set of tossers reads like effing newspeak. From appointing John Reid, that war criminal, to tearing away the Green Brigade; from the poppy shambles to the refusal to sign any players before qualifying from the CL; from the 'freezing season ticket prices' bollocks to the appointment of an unknown manager from an even bigger footballing backwater than Scotland. Bellyfeel everywhere. |

They'll soon find out when CP is half empty for most the season. And if we fail to reach the CL then the books are going to take an even bigger hit. |

For the first time I don't want us anywhere near the CL. The money made from it ? Who gives a eff as we aren't going to invest to get better anyway. At least away from the CL will save the club some embarrassing results. It's a very very sad state of affairs and something needs to be done. As it's been alluded to before it would take a league disaster for action. The board wouldn't even bat an eyelid if we got pumped in all 6 games of the CL or EL. |

Nobody expects us to shop in Harrods; the occasional foray into the 'Tesco's finest' range would probably match the ambition of the support, however we have went from purchasing goods in Aldi to now asking Barnardos for a receipt, just in case like. |

Sadly, this is hard to argue with. Even the Europa League would have potential humiliation. Last time we were there we had to face Di Natale and Falcao. Watching us get pumped in Europe is horrible, by the look of things it seems to be our ambition.

I think the role of his son in our football strategy needs looked at - who came up with RD PL has run rings round the board for years whilst the support have gradually realised he's more into his own ego than making Celtic a half decent side Fergus balanced team and finance a lot better than this and he was prudent The old cliche is that no man is bigger than the club - PL is delusional as to his ability and thinks he is - he needs to go GTF Peter |

What the eff is going on at Celtic. After RD stating that he would not even think about any loan deals, we go and get 3. We bring in a player who has not played in 3 years to be our number 1. You would think the board want our arse felt in the CL. If they want us to follow the model of buy low, turn into decent players, sell to the EPL for 5 or 6 times what we pay then those players need to actually make the CL group stages and compete in order to get the 10million mark the board crave. Look at the money we have brought in over the past few seasons, the AGM wont be plain sailing for Lawell this year. 3 years ago he cracks jokes about receiving offers from a different universe to noise up Rangers 2 years ago he goes on about how little debt we have and has a pop at Rangers saying we have a stand along model Last year he goes on about the balance sheet and states that this Summer Lennon would have substantial transfer funds to invest in the squad. He also says we could afford to buy a player up to 6-8 million if he would give us the re sale value back. What is he expecting this year? to crack more jokes about sevco? to say next year we will spend? Its a complete farce Edited by dazabhoy67, 12 Aug 2014, 08:38 AM.
