    I called it in another thread earlier today. They genuinely don't think they've done anything wrong or that there's a need to change. They still think their way is correct despite all the damage it's caused. And the pish about financial rules is particularly disingenuous. Had we only spent what we brought in from transfers and sell-on fees we could have got 4 quality, first 11 ready, players and been absolutely fine. Talking of investing in infrastructure and youth players when neither are fit for purpose and haven't been for some time. They've obviously learned nothing and their pig-headedness and arrogance has only got worse. This lot aren't going anywhere anytime soon and I suspect things are going to have to get a lot messier before they do. They are far more valuable to sevco than any player or manager that that shower will ever have. Desmond and Lawwell are probably in the same lodge as the hun hierarchy.

    The lack of awareness from them is off the charts here tonight


    Expected something but that’s embarrassing

    The part about financial rules would be fine had we taken little in transfers but we took over £30m.
    And yeah sometimes you don't get your targets, but you should never be in a place where you have none of your targets for striker.

    Gave up about half way through that nonsense. Just making excuses for their * poor running of the club and hoarding cash instead of improving the team.

    The club takes supporters' views "extremely seriously", "understands the concerns and frustrations" and are "always willing to learn lessons"
    * off. They've never cared about what we think. This is literally the first time they've ever spoken about anything. In fact, that's a lie. The only noise we've ever heard is when they double down on * ups... Just like this one. They never learn. There is no evidence of this.

    "Inaccurate or misleading information" has led to fans demanding clarity
    What information is misleading or inaccurate? What are they addressing here?

    They "must adhere to our self-sustaining model" to preserve the future of the club and also to comply with Uefa's financial regulations
    Considering we have incredible cash reserves, I think we're fine! If we'd have given Rodgers players, we could've been £40m richer.

    Celtic's cash reserves are "not relevant" when it comes to these guidelines
    I understand that but the cash reserves have been built over years and years of not giving the manager the fullest backing to take us forward. This year's financial report will show incredible profits. Shame the current team doesn't reflect this success on the pitch.

    Once a player has been "identified, confirmed by the manager and is supported by the board in line with the financial model" Celtic will try to complete a deal
    Are we saying we went into the window thinking Iheanacho was what we wanted to end the window with leading the line?

    Ability to sign players is "not conditional on Champions League qualification"
    Christ. Are we saying that this squad was what we would've been going into the Champions League with if we had qualified?

    The "clear goal" is to make signings as early as possible but "many factors and challenges, many of which are outwith the club's control" can affect that
    Are these challenges only Celtic FC challenges? Because we were the only club in world football needing one striker going into transfer deadline day and finished the window needing two! We sell players early in the window. Why can't other clubs do the same when it comes to us buying their players?

    Celtic "will always continue to review and seek to improve our strategy and execution".
    Considering we haven't changed strategy in my lifetime, I * doubt it. Where is Strachan's report? Under the carpet. Improve the execution? We've had several clubs and players mock our processes because we're incredibly unprofessional. We've * over Yang getting a love away because we are * *.

    Also doesn't explain why they did absolutely nothing for about 5 weeks after Kuhn left. Nothing. 40 days out of a TW of 80odd days wasted.

    Was interested to see if people on here garnered what I had from that statement - nothing.

    An absolute pile of utter waffle designed to deflect blame.

    West Ham fans submitted a vote of no confidence against the board.

    Is this not something we are able to do? Something needs done here to kick this off.

    If they think that * is going to kill the anger, they've got another thing coming. Wish I had the energy to finish reading it but I just can't be bothered with them anymore. Time to keep pushing.

    Think it was the next paragraph I got to... saying how our model is now essential because UEFA sustainability.

    Checked out as soon as I saw that.

    Everyone and their dead dog knows that is a bunch of * *.

    Need we just look over to the side to see evidence of that?

    That statement is beyond insulting - they are literally taking the fanbase as illiterate monkeys

    The huns going bust was the best thing to ever happen to these arseholes. Gave them an excuse to cut back, gave them access to millions upon millions of guaranteed dosh from european competition, basically unchallenged and also lets them trot out pish about financial stability and how risky it is to spend what we have.

    Look what happened across the city ....
