    He handled that like a pro there, fair * play. Glad he has finally turned up the heat on those * on the board rather than being used as a human shield for them any longer.

    They mugged him off big time and he knows the fans are needing vindication of their unrest. Played it perfectly on all fronts.

    Masterclass is the word. He is really an exceptional communicator. Could be a leader in any industry if it wasnt football.

    Hoepfully Lawwell is done after that.

    I see my minor attempt at humour has unfortunately gone amiss. I will put it down to many of us being stunned by Brendan’s skewering of that shower in in the board room.

    Finally he comes out with the reason for his leaving last time. Or the driving factor.

    Said it before, same with Ange, they both saw the writing on the wall and jumped before pushed/disaster struck and * them more.

    The issue at our club is NOT our manager, it is Peter Lawwell.

    The only time in the last 20 years we have looked progressive was when he was out the door and his influence weakened. But first sign of someone actually doing a better job than him, brought him back quick time for the chairman role.

    I firmly believe that was always the case, PL was always getting Bankiers seat and the resignation was just to shut up the fans.

    Rodgers was then sold the lie, he's admitted that yesterday with his comments about the same thing had him leave last time.

    Rodgers isn't flawless, he has his own issues in game, but he's also one of the best managers we've ever had.
    He seems to want to play mind games with PL and prove his point in how he has managed some games, I get it, not sure we would all agree with it though, but I get it.

    Hope now is we, as a football team, knuckle down for the season and we, the fans, crank up the actions for change.

    What I liked about the presser was him constantly mentioning he’s the one who faces the press and fans. Calling them out for the pish poor communication

    He was only backed (well, semi-backed) in one window and although people can complain that Idah was a mistake (I think rightly) or that Engels and Trusty were mistakes (I think wrongly), the fact is that he delivered that season.

    That was the first CL campaign I've enjoyed since Lenny reached the last 16 and only the second CL season I've enjoyed since WGS. He got some of the players he wanted and he delivered with a big improvement in Europe. Imagine if we backed him properly.

    Realistically, he's our best manager since Stein. Yes, Ange and MON have to be in the conversation and WGS did an amazing job under the circumstances, but he has achieved more in the game than any Celtic manager since Stein.

    Tbf the huns parked the bus against us and prayed for a 0-0 draw, and against every other team they've bent over and pulled their pants down.
