    If the fans were in the stadium this would all be playing out very differently. It's like they've seized the opportunity to plough ahead and settle things the way that they want. Not unlike Westminster Tory Politics

    Anybody who wishes to take action to stop this crap,then just dont give them you money.

    It really is that simple,give them nothing, eventually when they see the loss they will stop this madness.

    Dont give them one more cent,spread the word and let the board know who has the power.

    Perhaps they have someone in mind to take over from NL but he isn't availableuntil the new year?

    Probably not the case as they probably haven't even looked for anyone else.

    Surely that would only equate to a manager in a job who runs a summer season (assuming finishing as normal even with covid)?

    I am likely to take anyone over Lennon, but can't say I would be impressed with someone the board would cheap out on at leagues at that level to play summer football - not to be elitist about it

    The more I think about it. More infuriated I get.

    In what is meant to be a "vote of confidence". Looks like to me that they've just passed the buck onto Neil Lennon to make the decision to stand down/leave (which he should have done weeks ago.). Already under enormous pressure as it is, he's just been dumped upon by this board. Decision Makers eh.

    And if it doesn't improve, then we will be fed the lines about giving the manager every opportunity to be successful.

    Wish they would afford the club and players the opportunity to be successful and do the right thing. Lawwell is going to announce hes slinking off at the end of the season. So he's Ok. Desmond, forever absent. And the ones left to take the fall out.

    Is you and I.

    I don't think there are many who now support N/L and/or the board. Even the usual suspects on FB and twitter are turning against them. Hopefully someone will organise a massive demonstration where all concerned fans can turn up to show their feelings towards those *

    Even If Lennon walked tomorrow,it changes nothing,i doubt anyone jumps back on the Lawell and Desmond bus again.

    Its gone too far now,no trust at all from anyone in connection with Celtic just now.

    The whole lot need to disappear now,not just Lennon.

    I think it's possible that Desmond is in talks to sell on his shares at the end of the season and he has Lennon and Lawwell trying to downplay their massive failures so that it doesn't look like a basket case club to potential investors.

    Had around £500 worth of gear on order from the online store for the last week or two. I've today rang them and told them to cancel all orders yet to be dispatched, and what has been will be sent back within minutes of arriving at my door.

    Not another * penny.

    Bang on. We must not forget when renewals come up. We can’t * this up.

    Also I love how much their latest statement is squirming due to refund requests. It shows the * can be got at. * them.

    Please read the statement from the Celtic Trust on the Celtic Trust - Fan Ownership topic page 1. posted by Notorious. Might be some truth in it after all

    They'll be whole scale changes at Celtic next season. The pandemic will impact on season the number ticket holders next year. A lot of people will still be suffering from having less money in their pockets. We've got 54,000 disgruntled season ticket holders right now, most of them * off at paying full price to watch a stream you can get on the internet for free.


    The board has squandered years of advantage, and tens of millions in poor recruitment. Lee Congerton was a disaster, but it goes at least 5-10 years. Successive failures of European qualification that were totally avoidable. They've been able to offset with good signings, Dembele. But for every Eduard there's about 5 Klymalas that all cost 2/3 million each.

    Don't get me wrong, had some amazing Celtic moments over the last ten years, particularly the invincible season. It was such a good year to be a Celtic fan.

    I hope its not the end of an era with Celtic. Still got 25 games left. If by some miracle Lennon can build some momentum and just get a few wins under his belt going to Ibrox give everyone a boost.

    Maybe the fans should contact ALL the club sponsors. especially Adidas to tell them NO MORE Celtic product will be bought from them until things at board change. They need the money at Celtic and the threat of losing all the STH plus sponsors threatening to pull out will surely change their mind about Lennon, Kennedy and Strachan.

    Maybe one of the main reasons Brendan Rodgers left Celtic was because he learned to hate Lawell and the board as much as we now do. We therefore need to get rid of our "parcel of rogues" so that a new manager can run the club in his own way and without constraints.

    Might as well delete the FC from the club name... because for 15 years or more it’s been progressively eroded as PLC gradually became the more important acronym until finally achieving prime importance in 2020.

    Id rather have the fkkn biscuit tin back.

    It's not going to happen m8. Unfortunately we will only slip further behind with NL in charge. We need change now if we have any chance of rescuing the 10 and for more of the amazing moments we have all shared as Celtic fans

    It’s an interesting window into how they regard the paying supporters and how they behave as soon as there is little or no opportunity for fans to express their feelings.

    The board have betrayed themselves and will never be forgiven.

    Part of me thinks that Desmond could be planning to get out himself... but the fact that his actions/inaction is damaging his own share value would suggest otherwise.
