    Brutal thing is he probably ticked it off after that abomination of a statement got released.

    What kind of * needs a sticky to remind him to engage with his customers?

    The kind of * who doesn't see us as customers, but sees us as an irrelevance that needs to be acknowleged every so often.

    That * needs to be gone, but we all know he represents the board , so they all need to go

    Not that I expected him too but the fact that he hasn't resigned in the aftermath of a summer window that was a disaster of epic proportions says it all really and just emphasizes how important it is that he is replaced.

    Who's going to resign from a 800k a year job? We'll let him go and it'll cost as much as we spend on a player in a pay off.

    Lawyers and business men the lot of them, find any club or company that has a corporate lawyer running them, will be very few.

    The problem is that communicating with the fans would be his worst nightmare. The guy clearly has NO Personality, charm or social skills. We need someone who can win over difficult negotiating partners. Someone with the skill set and voice to win over the fan base. A charismatic and engaging CEO is what Celtic needs. Not this imposter.

    I cant see Desmond letting him go.

    But he needs to be sent on a 6 month course. Negotiations and timing. He's obviously out of his depth here.

    The guys a complete charlatan..

    Getting told he refused to answer or get back to people multiple times other than Yang with Birmingham says it all..

    I remember saying on here after St Mirren waiting so the boy could get some photos and the crowd was big still long after the game. He was the only one who I watched well in advance slip round the side like a shitebag head down like the snake he is. Even that * Lawwell bowled straight through getting a light ribbing..

    Should be nowhere near us. They all shouldn't..

    He was never supposed to be the CEO. He was basically the clubs lawyer and only got the job bcoz he was pally with Lawwell.
    It again showed just how amatuer we do things. Imagine any other business our size giving the CEO job to someone with zero experience. Just getting the job bcoz he was there

    He’s educated to the hilt, he has business acumen and has been around the club for long enough to have that experience as well.

    The problem is there’s more to being a football CEO than just being a brainiac with 40 degrees, especially at Celtic where we are a club of the people - people skills are every bit as important. That’s compounded further when, as it appears from the outside anyway, you are tasked with performing (or at the very least signing off of) every single squad transaction of a supposedly ‘world class’ club with Champions League aspirations. That is amateurish beyond belief.

    Yeah sorry, thats more what i was meaning in terms of experience. Hes not got the the personal skills, hes likely been a * bookworm all his life to achieve what he has but hes definitely lacking the experience or the personality for the role.
    Lawwel is a * but at the very least he had a bit of an out going personality and if anything he wanted the spotlight too much.

    This guy just hides away, i genuinely dont know if hes said a word publicly since Rodgers was unveiled 2 and a bit years ago.
    You can't have such a high profile role if you aren't comfortable or capable of dealing with the spotlight that comes with it.

    Also in terms of experience, we are a massive club we shouldn't be given ceo jobs to people who havnt done the role before. It's the equivalent of giving the managers job to a youth academy coach juat bcoz hes got all his badges and knows the city.....
