    2 results away from a real meltdown. Beat on Tuesday and against the Huns and we are in real bother, there will be no hiding for those on the board.

    Apart from Barrowfield, what have this board actually done to improve the club on and off the field in the last decade or so ?

    As said above, if we played anywhere else but Scotland and actually had teams challenging us, we would be up * creek. The only reason we look well run is because of the lack of competition and the free hit at CL money for a few seasons. Even that was more down to our nearest rivals performing better than us in European competitions. Embarrassing how badly we lack any sort of ambition to push on and become a well run modern football club.

    This has been coming with all the statements that come from mainly Lawwell as Chairman in the annual accounts and interims. Now incurring the “highest amortisation bill of players” was one from last years annuals whilst no mention of the largest income in a single window from sales.

    Those lines about needing a cash stockpile incase of Europa league instead of CL, when blatantly by not investing we are residing ourselves to that.

    Anyone who thinks this current situation has nothing to do with him is easily persuaded. He cannot stand Rodgers and the feeling is mutual. Rodgers got his in house appointment removed from head of recruitment last year. There was then the constant media lackey digs about record signings not being played, whilst ignoring our European performances and domestic large league lead.

    You can read the Celtic Board with Lawwell pulling the strings like a book. Back to bringing players in the manager knows nothing about instead of strengthen the first team. Going into qualifiers without key positions filled because we are ultra conservative and then thinking what’s the point in spending as we have made it or not made it anyway.

    All while picking up mega inflated compensation packages for the job that is being done.

    His dynamic due of Nicholson and McKay making a total * of getting deals done window after window. It’s just absolutely farcical this is allowed to go on.

    Think we have all been a bit blindsided as we've had success. They've not been pulled up on enough over the past 10 years or so.

    It definitely looks like Pl wants Rodgers to walk away whilst Rodgers will stick it out till he's sacked. Some of the body language on Wednesday from BR and even some of the players was particularly noticeable and things will only get worse as the weeks go bye

    Rodgers won't, I believe, get sacked. That would be a step too far for even this shower of * board.

    That's it. You complain and people will call you a spoiled * or similar, which too an extent would be correct. Domestically we have been spoiled but a lot of that is down to very poor mismanagement across the city. On a higher level we have been very poor in european competition for a long time, barring the odd game.

    Which makes not backing BR even more baffling considering how well we performed last season by our standards.

    Who does it though?

    At the AGM every year it’s carefully curated questions and carefully choreographed answers …. Numpties asking about catering and car parking while the big issues get sidelined..

    Lawwell cracks a joke about Sevco… all laugh and the Celtic bubble is ok. Far too many happy-clappers in the support sadly.

    The media think PL is gone and has no say in the club day-to-day… daft *.

    He’s the Kaiser Soze of Scottish football.

    And as for the ‘majority shareholder’ … The auld grey tache hasn’t even turned up at an AGM for years, and only goes to the odd game if it suits... but he’s got something to crow about on the various world golf courses he tours. You can own a club without really caring about it.

    Have any other club in European competition made a profit in the last 5 transfer windows and almost certain to be a 6th? An absolute disgrace we still don't have a winger in.

    There’s a very obvious example that are operating that way, spending more, and doing things the way I desperately wish we would.

    Club Brugge.

    The board who have next to none football experience or knowledge have decided to spend £3m on "improving" the squad, is good enough to get you to the elite competition of club football.

    They have all the power and control and zero obligation to sell. Walkouts, protests etc does nothing to harm them. So what does, needs to be done to get them to take notice, take action and get out?!

    Seriously the fact that "University of Craiovia" or whatever their * name is, in Romania, have spent more than us is absolutely embarrassing.

    Metalist Kharkiv playing fitba in the middle of a war zone and have still spent the same.

    Absolute charlatans.

    They’re absolute parasites. Get these * wheeled out in front of the media after bad results and let them take the questions of the media. The biggest decision makers at the club and they get away Scot free without even a hint of an explanation. The fans (customers) get treated with absolute contempt.

    Said it before and will say it again. Ange put the * up this lot.

    I sat there at the AGM and he told them we always have to have in place succession plans like we did with AJ and Juranovic, not to get to attached to players.

    How the club evolves on the pitch should be the main concern of the club. Rather than take in 4 or 5 £2m punts go and get 3 or 4 £8m - £10m high quality players in summer window then flip within 18-24 months this is the model used by clubs all over europe, RB Salzburg, Brugge, Benfica etc all clubs celtic should be competing with.

    You seen the top table that day arseholes collapse.

    Within 7 months ange was gone.

    Rodgers has said similar and they now reign it in. These * are a cancer (the board) they need hunted!!!!
