    Biggest fault from what i can see was giving Lennon the Full time job less than a couple of hours after the Cup Final.

    I don't like the current * running our club , but how do we go about making sure the next owners/ board do better.

    Football is a business now unfortunately .

    Yes these * have * up what could have been the 2nd biggest achievement in our history....But genuine question here.
    Who would take over ?

    Even if Brendan Rodgers wanted more than was sustainable in the long term these * should have given him what he wanted until the 10 was secured. At that point we could have cut the cloth accordingly again. They had no hope of stopping 10 as long as Brendan was here. We knew it. And more importantly, they knew it too.

    My issue is how do we actually get rid of them? How do we force them out the club?

    We were in such a position of strength at one point where the 10 was unquestionably inevitable. We not only allowed the huns a foot in the door, we opened the door and asked them to make themselves at home.

    I'm not part of the narrative to say Gerrard and the huns have been amazing this season. There is literally no reason why we haven't matched their run or bettered it. We are more than capable of blowing every team that we have faced so far out of the water, except AC Milan - who we should've given a run for their money at least.

    We have failed at every turn this season. There have been no success stories. The whole season has been an utter failure and it's barely January.

    They refused to gamble money on a decent manager, coaching staff, scouting system and players over the years. Ironically, they have unwittingly gambled and it's failed in the worst possible way. We're looking at a trophyless season for the first time in a decade.

    I am truly disgusted that they and some section of the support called us entitled for demanding better this season. It's all highly ironic.

    * them all. Every single one of them.

    Change must happen from top to bottom. It must start now.

    The terraces are going to be very bare I feel now, probably as was said they're going to. Need a big banner for the top. Tier.

    Players values have plummeted and next season I see Sevco making CL groups, we have zero chance of qualification.

    Will be interesting to see how board handle this as think we'll have to wait a bit to win the league again I don't see them having to sell a raft of players either.

    They're going to have to come up with something interesting both to get back in top and get bums on seats.

    Replacing Rodgers with Lennon was like replacing Guardiola with Steve Bleasdale.

    We blew the 10 the second they gave him the job in the showers at Hampden.

    We recieved between £8-10 million in compensation for Rodgers.
    The highest any British club has paid out to get a manager already in a job.

    Rodgers was on around £2.3M a year at Celtic, we could and should've brought in a manager of similar calibre.

    We * it.

    Nothing will change until this board is removed and the fans don’t have the will to remove the board, so nothing will change.

    All it took was a lie about the players having stones chucked at them and half the support turned on the other half - they seemed pretty ready to turn if you ask me.

    The board won’t reflect on their own failure, instead they’ll spend all their time working out how they can get away with Lennon next season or how they can sell a Jack Ross to us.

    They’re not interested in upgrading the club because they don’t know how. They’ve found their level and they’re happy with it. Rodgers took us too high so they got Lennon in to bring us back to their comfort zone.

    No fan should be considering what manager comes next. 100% focus should be on removing the board, then we look at a manager after that.

    Both the board and the manager got a bit of respite as a result of us winning a few games. The anger we had after our * results both domestically and in Europe anger subsided a wee bit however, we all know that they have failed the club and it's supporters miserably and that they should expect our frustration and anger to grow. I don't know what we, as fans can realistically do, but I expect the wired fencing to reappear at Parkhead and for a few more demonstrations like the one we had a few weeks back,

    Withhold all cash. A few refunds last month had them scrambling with an apologetic statement. Do Not Renew until the board is removed. It’s as simple as that.

    They dont give a * if they did Lennon would have gone months ago . Supporters have backed them 100% this season knowing they probably wouldnt see inside Celtic park yet they have let Lennon jet off to Dubai as if nothings wrong .
    Out of the Cl out of Europa out of League cup and no chance of winning the league by fkn Jan 2nd .

    The board made a decision to back Lennon, when everyone could see that the league was getting beyond us. They decided he was the man to turn it round and they have been proven wrong.

    Lawell and Bankier must be forced to go.

    100% correct.

    How do we do that though? Serious question. How do we get rid of a board. I want to remove everyone from Lennon, Strachan and Kennedy upwards.

    The only way is to hit them in their pockets and refuse to put any money into the club.
