    If this doesn't give the board a kick up the * to invent in proven talent nothing will.

    Feeling very angry at that board of late to the extent i am partially glad we have just been well beaten, mainly so the attention now rightfully returns them and they can stop using the fans as their emergency makeshift scapegoat to cover up some serious inadequacies in the transfer market and pandering to media pressure in the way they're dealing with fans. Never felt quite so distanced from the club before. Sometimes like right now i honestly ask myself, what is the incentive to go to the rest of the home games this year? Never thought i would feel like this. For the rest of season, who is honestly going to fork out best part of £30 for a paper ticket to sit in a stale environment watching poor quality football.

    Lenny has said publically ( a few times with the last being after the Ajax away game) that 3 or 4 deals fell through. You'd need to ask him who he was talking about. Finbagasson would be my guess as one of them.

    There's too many of our "fans" who think the way the board are treating us is ok.... And it's only these "fans" who get documented in the media

    The board has to go. Profit hasn't transferred into success and they're ripping the heart out of Celtic.

    Im willing to be we never had a hope of getting him i mean we cant blame the board for getting out priced for a player or a player choosing to go to England like the guy who ended up at stoke if i were to blame anyone it would be lennon the players who came in havent done a job

    Reporting Scotland was a fine example of that tonight. To be fair, most of our supporters wouldn't give the * the time of day.

    Agree that it does stem from not replacing players who left but if lennon wants a player top of his list and the team want 3 million but our board say hes not worth 3 we will pay 2 and then no deal times like that they could help him better that said i dont know if that has ever happend who am i to know what is going in there just thats the way it comes across to me

    Yes lennon.:fear:
    Im not so sure our plan is based on just our splspls money and no Cl or european money.
    Did Lennon not say when we got 20 million for our player that it would keep us going for a few years.
    Meaning we have a short fall in funding.

    Pukki was not our first choice...he was 3rd or 4th.

    I don't even think the board are aware of the vast number of discontented fans. I imagine they think the only problem is the Green Brigade and once that's dealt with, the majority of us will be happy to pay for meidocrity in silence.

    Some GB/111 refused entry. Others stopped on stairs by Celtic travel stewards.

    Then separated from the rest of the support. Until the rest of support went and stood beside them.

    Bottom line whilst we go over the rights and wrongs, Lawwell will be looking forward to a huge bonus on top of his £1M+ salary knowing he has achieved the goal for the season, another bucket load of CL money to stash into the biscuit tin

    They need to spend BIG or face a an even emptier stadium next season. Simply not goos enough to sell your best players for a large profit and replace it ( no harm to the guys ) with utter *.

    We budget for qualifying for the EL group stage. Lawwell has said this before.
