    He is the man with the power and the one that has the power to change the clubs direction. That is not a ideal situation but the only hope we have is for him to rethink the whole idea of how the club is run. We need a big overhaul in personel at board level for this club to reach its potential. The lady from Leicester is a decent first step imo. She knows football and was highly involved in a title winning Leicester side.

    The lawyers, lads from next door and the golf course needs gone, and gone NOW.

    IF the huns modernise with analytics systems like Hearts and we stay stubborn and dont, we are done. And they will most likely do this soon.

    100% true

    Even Mjällby AIF in Sweden, a town of 1000 people who became champions now are run better and would probably give us a pumping now. That is frightening.

    Its all about modernising the club. That is a must and we need to do it now. Its even more important than hiring a manager. Just put all focus on it starting this morning.

    Just wait and see. Hibs, Aberdeen and probably most other clubs in the league will soon do it as well.

    Watch us draw Mjällby in the qualifiers next year. They will school us.

    I wish violence upon him. I might even look up black magic rituals online. That is how much I hate him and P. Lawwell.

    Its clear now that proper set up, the right people in using the data properly is getting better results on and off the park opposed to spending loads on big names and tika taka football.

    Bodo, FC Copenhagen, Midtylland, Brentford, Brighton, Brugge, USG, all passed us by.

    Even domestically Hearts making great progress with. Hibs being more positve with it and St Mirrens new data deal.

    Midtyllands annual wage turnover is about 12m a year. Ours is triple that. Bodo again another whos budget is a third of ours. Copenhagen is about half of ours.

    We just have the wrong out dated, incompent folk and set up being badly implemented.

    I fear that whoever comes in as manager, just gets brow beaten in to the lazy mould thats set be the * in the suits.

    Knutsen would only come if he had certain assurances you'd think, as he's not gonna be short of offers.

    But change is needed at the top. That is paramount.

    Spot on. I was a little bit of a outsider when it came to the protests. Obviously knowing they are * but now it is clearer than ever that we need modernization. Not really a hard thing to do really. I am sure there are lots of highly competent people that would love to work for Celtic. Even people working at Midtjylland would leave them for us as we would pay more.

    Do Midtyjlland have 80mil cash reserves and a share price of 180 pence per share though?

    This bit from his statement is * laughable




    Celtic’s structure — where the manager oversees football, the Chief Executive manages operations, and the Board provides oversight — has served the club with great success for more than two decades. We all share the same ambition: to ensure Celtic’s continued success domestically and to achieve further progress in Europe. Every pound generated by the club is reinvested towards those goals and the continuous improvement of Celtic Football Club.

    Was a bit like the board downplaying the fans concerns of our lack of progression in Europe over the years by saying we’ve qualified for the “group stages” in the last 18 seasons … leaving out the obvious fact a lot of that was us being in the Europa instead of Champions league.


    They honestly think the fans are brain dead. The need for change is absolutely critical.

    And yet there’s still a section of * who believe him


    The board can do no wrong and it’s the previous managers who are the problem
