    It’s something I’m sure is always the case, but previous years I feel it’s not been with Desmond being specifically mentioned as part of the planning. Usually it’s been Lawwell, and latterly Nicholson/Lawwell.

    He needs to give Brenda a blank cheque.

    We should be getting to the semis next year.

    Got excited by a bump for big DFD, thought someone had actually seen him near Celtic park and not at a golf course, maybe getting involved in big transfer deal??
    Alas no.....

    This always is a confusing point, anytime players who have now left talk about signing, when they’re a certain level Desmond is very involved. Not so much negotiating thats left to guys like Lawwell but he schmoozes * out of them. His Private plane for them into London, glamorous hotels etc. restaurants, phones or is with them asking how they are, hows the wife etc.


    Any medical we do in London, he’s very involved.

    And if you believe in some rumours around the club, which I do with this one, Rodgers tends to go directly to him since January window last season. And I believe that because when that leaked it was BR saying get Lawwell Jr to * and 2 weeks later he was. And then since then, we spent the most money we ever have in a season, broke our transfer record twice and rounded out Jota in the top 3. Might be wrong on Jota, cos I’m not sure if he was £8m or £10m. If the former, he’s 4th then.

    * we brought in KT, even with his injuries we would have needed to show ambition to do that. That’s flew under the radar a bit because he is Celtic daft. But at 27, first time we’ve ever actually brought them in peak age when we have a chance to, usually dont even ask the question.
