    Bit of a weird thing to ask I know, but over the last few years you hear things like Lawwell trying to low-ball clubs with transfer offers when he was clearly told an asking price. I know it's his job to control the amount spent and to negotiate, but on a few occasions it appears he sets a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

    Then there's Deila saying when he arrived that the food, diet and attitude of some players (primarily youngsters) was shockingly bad. And now Scott Allan (yes I know he wasn't that good) coming out and saying he wasn't treated professionally - could be sour grapes because he wasn't good enough to make it.

    I'm probably answering my own question by saying all the above can be applied to the majority of clubs. Tight directors, players gurning because they didn't "get a chance" etc. I think we're very well run, as a whole, and the fact we never died shows that :D

    Bitter ex players and huns love throwing this accusation at us because nothing else sticks.
    9 trophies on the trot, money in the bank , sellable assets on the pitch , best academy in Scotland .
    Nothing unprofessional about us.

    Treble treble and 10IAR coming would suggest otherwise.

    Nah, Celtic is a worldwide brand mate. Not many clubs have this worldwide exposure and worldwide Irish connection that we have. We're super lucky to have it be honest. Having said that, we're definitely 100% a bit cheap sometime lol... but also definitely very professional.

    Under the current board and the past 20+ years of history, why would we have died? Nothing we have done, be it unprofessional or not would remotely indicate our club going bust within the past 20+ years.

    Im highly critical of our boards policy towards recruitment...

    But a * wind up buy, amd self proclaimed snout has a whinge and you buy it? Youre kidding no one ffs.

    And just for clarity, we were absolutely right to deny hibs. We'd been loaning them top shelf youngsters for 3 * seasons and they attempted to shaft us with mcginn, not even willing to negotiate a difference to 250k. * em. And * scott allan too.

    Throw in a ‘least we didn’t die’ so when you get exposed as a Hun you can point back to that and say why would I say that.
