    This is relevant in case he ends up making football-related decisions for us. From staff appointments and sackings, to transfers, and even pitch maintenance, we need decisions from people who have emotional investment in Celtic. I'm a bit more optimistic about next season, now.

    Agreed... at least things make a bit more sense now given Lennon is still here.

    Hopefully some work ongoing in the background regarding potential DOF and Managerial candidates.

    Nice to see the change happening. Bankier must go too though. New chairman, new CEO, new DOF and a new manager.

    Bring it on

    Welcome.

    The SRU is a well-run organisation, so it seems like a good appointment on paper.

    Hopefully, there will be a separation of church and state, so to speak, and he will leave football matters to football people.

    Been reading a bit about the new CEO this morning, where David Low had said he was a hard finance guy his background in communications prior to his COO role at SRU suggests otherwise. He does seem to have a background grasping the importance of a brand and not dragging it through the muck like has been happening here of late. That does seem a positive.

    I did receive a rather negative message from an old work manager who has no interest in football but is a big Rugby man saying “good luck with him. He is very unpopular at grass routes level of Scottish Rugby.” That wasn’t exactly what I was keen to hear.

    However the big picture for me will be whether or not Dominic McKay comes in as CEO to build the brand, maximise commercial opportunities and leaves the football to a Director of Football and Head Coach, which is sorely needed or tries to control everything like Lawwell will be ultimately where he succeeds or fails for me.

    The only worry is that he doesn't start till 1st July, and it's not much time to get everything sorted for the new season

    Hoping his comments on liking the clubs vision is a new vision being discussed with him and Desmond and not the current * we have been witness to.


    Welcome though, fresh change is certainly needed.

    Now please run us like a football club and not a customer-business profit organisation.
