    Should be winning these games, but sacking him accomplishes nothing if the underlying issues affecting the club aren't addressed.

    At the boardroom level we're an * outfit. A Champions League size club that is run like a League 2 bottom dweller.

    We have a shambolic scouting network, seemingly incapable of identifying players that aren't connected to the SPL, Dudu Dahan or Man City. Our best signing we wouldn't even have known about if not for Ange's Japanese connection.

    In terms of wages we're at the upper end of the Europa League, outspending teams from the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A. You really have to question whether there's a wage structure in place at all. If I'm a footballer I see Celtic as being a cash cow and easy money. We've been spanked in Europe and at home by players who are just as good but paid significantly less.

    We'll penny pinch for the likes of McGinn, but happily spend more money on the likes of Klimala. What is the transfer strategy? How many scouts do we actually have and who is sanctioning these signings?

    At a youth level we bring through few players, most of whom aren't up to the job. We're bleeding youth away to the likes of Munich and Man City. What is going on with that setup?

    Where is the director of football and modern structure we were promised? Why are the charlatans on the board still there after the complete failings of the last 2 seasons? From the outside it appears that they're stealing a wage.

    We're going backwards as a club, the squad is worse than it was last year (and arguably as bad as it has been since the 90s), and there's no apparent long term strategy. It's going to take more than sacking the manager to fix this. While he isn't blameless, getting rid of him accomplishes nothing.

    They had Nicky Clark up top occupying our whole defence..

    Their midfield trio cut us open and overrran us time after time..

    They had their best player and captain, Mulgrew missing at the back..

    McNulty their best striker no available..

    They had more than enough chances to deserve at least a draw..

    I'm sickened beyond belief at that today, purely because i know for a fact now that that's it. The season is ending badly for us..

    Said this earlier: but it’s not ‘high tempo’ or ‘intense’; it’s rushed, hasty and inaccurate. Pin ball.

    Exactly. The Aussies don’t get it, never did and never will. Ange having a 50 percent win ratio in Australia and Japan is fine ... ain’t cutting it at Celtic.

    The problems are at boardroom level but the Celtic support don’t have the stomach to enforce change.

    Therefore, this * will continue and we’ll be back to 2011 with the huns getting 3 and 4 in a row.

    Clueless. Plucked from footballs backwaters because he's happy to be here.

    We'll never get a good manager under this board but at least we could get someone who knows the first thing about Scottish football.

    We're getting humiliated under this idiot.

    I don't get people chucking the league in September haha. They either haven't seen football over the last few decades or there plain stupid! We are only 6 points behind the Huns, not 10 or 15! Half the team missing because of injury and still to get more players in in Jan. Yes we've hit bad form but ffs it's only September. We will take points of the Huns along with other teams. Once Ange gets his own team on the park playing his football, were going to run riot! As for others blaming Kennedy and Strachan, fs behave yourselves! That's just * ridiculous and looking for excuses!

    He's no succeeding. No chance..

    Just standing arm's crossed as we turn in another * poor performance..

    Doesn't know or want to try to change the course of the game..

    Didn't even try and get Moffat on to give some fresh leg's a go when United were tiring at the back..

    Clueless. Painfully clueless..

    It's not an excuse, it's the reality, you're blaming the manager, who had 9 players out injured, because a striker that his predecessor bought couldn't put it away from 3 feet, let along the crossbars.

    But sure, not gonna be wasting my time with those who think any other manager could be doing better given these circumstances.

    What happened in WGS last window is happening again. DD and co are handing them titles and money to keep them afloat.

    Have to laugh at folk saying the board are at fault for hiring him - so their suggestion is to sack him and have the same board find somebody else.

    He's had * luck with injuries but I've seen this movie before with idealist managers at Celtic.

    Funny how the 'give him time' brigade quickly turn when the wins don't come. Literally thousands change their stance by the week.

    Anyway he looked bewildered in his interview and I just hope he can turn this around. 1 point from LIvi and Dundee Utd is pathetic let's be honest.
