The Celtic fans are planning a protest outside the main entrance on Sunday at 1pm before the Dundee game, against the board who ‘who don’t care, treat us with distain and don’t spend money’
Go bck this time last year, that big bad board that ‘doesn’t do anything for us and treats us like mugs
Kept our best players (Edouard and Ajer)
Signed a £5m Greek international goalie
Shane Duffy ( who everybody was ecstatic with)
A left back from AC Milan
Re signed Mo elynoussi
A striker from West Ham £5m
Right back - isreal internationalist
David turnbull 3m
Plus the 15 or so million this year
Didn’t work but a don’t see how anybody can say the board hasn’t backed us, quite the opposite, I would say Peter Lawwell was the best chief executive and Celtic is the best run club in Britain, one of the very few clubs to come out of covid in profit
Think how many players did Brendan sign? How many were good? biggest majority were signed bay Ronny, Yes Brendan made them better players 100% he did but he signed a lot of rubbish, lucky get 5 good players, great manager though. Wish we still had him.
Haha!
Peter Lawwell is the best chief executive in Britain? He was an absolute disaster for Celtic. The man that lost John McGinn and Ivan Toney because he wanted to haggle over peanuts. The man who brazenly admitted that Neil Lennon was always the ideal man to replace Brendan Rodgers and said something like 'there were loads of unopened CVs in the drawer but Neil was always the man'. Brilliant comments and a sure fire way to drum up interest from those same managers in a few years time when you need to sack Lennon because he's an unprofessional booze bag that literally wasn't even trusted to hire his own staff because they were his drinking partners instead of actual coaches. He was a brilliant businessman, no denying that.
Also, it helps to come out of things like COVID when you sell Kieran Tierney for 25 million and replace him with a guy from Kilmarnock for buttons who is so clearly out of his depth at Celtic.
That same board also called the fans "entitled yobs" last year for demanding Lennon be sacked when the league was still salvageable. Lennon oversaw a disaster in the previous seasons qualifying campaign when he lost to Cluj. The tactical genius kept our new 7 million CB on the bench, benched our new LB and played our best midfielder at LB for some random reason. A year later, we're in the same position, this time against Ferencvaros, what does he do? He starts with no strikers and instead plays another midfielder up front. We lose again. Of course. There's 60 million down the drain right away and it can be traced back to Peter's brilliant decision to replace Brendan Rodgers with an absolute clown like Lennon. But wait. There's more. Even after all of that, Lennon then oversaw a disastrous run, literally one of the all time worst in the history of the club, where we had no shots on target at home to rangers, lost 4-1 to Sparta Prague, Lennon then said that result would never happen again on his watch, and then we lost 4-1 to them again anyway a few weeks later. Lennon was then the man that oversaw our brilliant 3 or 4 year unbeaten cup run come to an end because he got outsmarted at home to bottom of the league Ross County in the League Cup. But the fans protesting against all of this were "entitled yobs" (a direct quote). Lennon was kept in post for another couple of months and more embarrassments despite all this.
Elhamed (the Israel internationalist) was rubbish and came from the same agent that we seem to use all the time (nothing fishy there, no sir).
A left back from AC Milan? Laxalt? A complete diddy. One of the worst full backs I've ever seen play for Celtic. Beaten only by Jonjoe Kenny who is undoubtedly the worst player I have ever seen at this club in my lifetime.
They kept Edouard and Ajer because no one wanted them. We still can't shift Edouard to this day.
Remember we rejected 14 million from Porto for Ntcham 2 years ago? We just released him from his contract a year early. Brilliant from the board again. The complete lack of forward thinking is comical.
We use Parks of Hamilton as our official coach. Owned by Douglas Park. Chairman of Rangers. That's how brilliant this board is. They directly line the pockets of the Rangers chairman.
The fans were let inside Celtic Park a few months back to put up flags and banners. This was in the midst of the latest clusterfeck in the middle east where loads of Palestinians had died. The fans put up Palestinian flags and a tribute to a Palestinian friend and Celtic supporter who had died weeks earlier and who had been invited over to Celtic Park many times by the Green Brigade and had even met Scott Brown. The board tore them down and got stuck in to the fans for it...
How about this season. We need a new manager in to rebuild the club after last seasons shambles. What do they do? They piss about letting a little chump like Eddie Howe lead them on for months and then they panic and go out and get a guy whose only ever managed in the Greek 3rd division, Australia and Japan. A complete lack of ambition and imagination. But then once they hire him what do they do? They fail to back him in the transfer market. For the umpteenth time they watched a decimated squad go into the CL qualifiers unprepared and only reacted with signings after we'd been predictably put out. We literally fielded a back line of Bain (terrible GK), Ralston (a hilariously out of his depth Scottish Championship level player), Stephen Welsh (a youth player thrown in because he was all we had), Dane Murray (an even younger youth player with zero experience) and Greg Taylor (the aforementioned Tierney replacement). None of them are good enough. Three of them are youth products who are only involved out of necessity due to the snails pace approach and lack of forward thinking within the Celtic boardroom.
Dermot Desmond literally said last season's Celtic side would beat the 2003 side that reached the UEFA Cup final and had guys like Larsson, Sutton, Hartson, Petrov et al. It's genuinely hard to explain how out of touch these losers are.
One of my personal favourites was them putting season tickets on sale this season before they'd even hired any manager. What club does that?
There's a reason you're so clearly in the minority within the support on this one.
