    Just think if we replace bankier with lawwell then the club is not moving on and it's another job for the boys appointment but we should know this board by now .

    Board will continue to pull * like this and the attempted Hopkins appointment bcoz they don't give a * about us.
    They are tories and by nature tories don't give a * about opinions of those they see as being beneath them. As long as we continue to pour money into the club they will continue to treat us like *

    The criminally racist line was in response to Celtic fans wanting rid of Lord Livingston for supporting cuts to benefits for the poorest in society. It goes against the whole ethos of the club, something the board are happy to promote but not actually follow through on.

    Hes a Tory * who has treated the fans with utter contempt for a decade.

    His disdain for us has been on show for years now. Going as far as to say he was "sickened" by our petition to remove that * Livingston.

    Called us criminals and racist.

    And lets not forget how the * tried to employ Higgins right under our noses, a man responsible for the criminalisation of the Celtic support, and then had the gall to refuse to answer questions about at the agm.

    Lets also not * forget how his company gave Rangers 1m for a * Ibrox box seat, and how he gushed to the herald about it, like a * mutant * that he is.

    Five way agreement silence.

    Blocking resolution 12

    Losing 10iar via poor oversight...

    The * can * off, and never darken our door again.

    Any links? Genuinely curious. Not about the criminally racist thing which he clarified. Just anything showing he treated the fans with contempt, because I can’t remember it.
    His whisky company?

    He openly and publicly stated that the Celtic support is ‘criminally racist’… but it’s OK, because he later quietly clarified his comment - but not until after every gutter rag in the country had ‘Celtic fans are criminally racist’ as their front page.

    Honest to *. The board must sit back and laugh at the * folk defend them over.

    Took far more out the club than he ever put in. A complete non-entity who had nothing to say to the fans, tried zero to communicate in any meaningful way to the fans, except over the top criticism in defending his pals.

    A new modern thinking person for the role required. Won't hold my breath on this though.

    Like lawwall, he should be judged by the standards at the club when he took over to where we are today.

    We've went from a club able to make the last 16 to a club that sighed a massive sigh of relief that we don't have to do qualifiers, because we regularly get pumped by clubs a fraction of our size and humiliated along the way.

    Guys far too happy to accept his status as being at the head table of a massive football club, to tell his mates and drink his whiskey with. But he done * all to actually push the club forward.
    Sitting back, accepting the easy route of domestic success while our best challenger was liquidated and formed a new club to come and challenge us. Allowed that to happen unquestioned, never backed the fans at all.

    Judge him on the fact that Celtic football club is a tie that most clubs in Europe will think "we can do them" rather than what we used to be a "fortress".

    If lawwall was to take over from him, then we are back to square one and 2019 all over again.
    Any feel good factor that Ange is bringing, will be quickly lost, specially when Ange eventually leaves - which won't be long if a guy like lawwall was in a position of charge again at our club.


    Then ask yourselves, would you trust lawwall in any capacity to be able to steer the club in the right direction ?

    Media widely reporting Lawwell is his replacement.

    Time to see if the support walks the walk and allows it.

    My prediction is he’ll be return to a hero’s welcome, so long as we’re ahead of Sevco in the league.

    A hero’s welcome? Really? Is this welcome taking place at our completely embarrassing museumless stadium?

    Hero’s welcome ffs. You’ve really outdone yourself recently.
