    It's going to be difficult to temp any manager never mind Premiership managers when you've got 7 million to spend on your team.

    I agree the board are great business men, but i rather have a manageable amount of debt and a good team, than be profit making and mediocre team.

    Sorry to disappoint you.

    Should everyone who doesn't rate wgs hand back st's tickets then?

    Should we sign a declaration before renewing that we support him and think he's good?

    Shucks, didn't realise my honest and well founded dislike of him as a manager made me negative or a bad fan. *.

    When he * this season up big style am i allowed to come back and post?

    I didn't say you should hand back your season ticket but I can tell you're one of those who sits there grumbling all game and shouting at McGeady cos he's lost posession for example. Or the guy who screams when we play the ball backwards when we are clearly being patient in retaining posession.

    I've read nothing positive from you so far so YES that makes you negative and YES you probably are a bad fan if truth be told.

    doubt breeds poor confidence

    poor confidence breeds poor performance

    poor performance breeds unhappy fans

    unhappy fans breeds even more pressure on the team.

    circle of line

    answer - cheer the team like * at the next game and watch us spank whoever we are playing.

    More stupid assumptions.
    I've NEVER critiscised McGeady, even when he loses the ball, he's a breath of fresh air for me and does his best.

    I'm ALWAYS content when we're winning if we play the ball back, if it's good enough for Brazil it's good enough for me.

    Any other assumptions you wish to make about me?

    * tactics and play breeds unhappy fans
    Unhappy fans breed doubt

    Then it goes on.
    Answer is to sort out the top one.

    So you've witnessed how i support the team from my seat near the playing surface have you?

    Didn't think so. Another assumption. Wrong again.

    Fair enough but I was citing those as possible examples

    So enlighten me then - What do you contribute at Celtic Park on matchdays??

    Do you get behind the team?

    How long did you last on Sunday?

    You are obviously unhappy about strachan being in charge ..Probably one of those calling of his head as soon as he was appointed ...( dont tell me another wrong assumption) :rolleyes:.....We are all entitled to our opinions on here and yes you are entitled to yours also , the facts are there though and they cant be argued with , doesnt matter how crap you say the other teams were the years we won . The fact all teams started on 0 points and Celtic ended up with more points than anyone else proves we were the better team ..And im sorry to tell you that Strachan was in charge for all those campaigns ..So wether you like it or not Strachan HAS delivered what the fans want and that has been 3 titles in a row and also last 16 in the CL twice in a row ...Now which teams were so crap in our group that we qualified out of it when we shouldnt !!!! :icon_mrgreen:

    I agree with that spot on.:50:

    However in an earlier post you said from the beginning you didn’t support Strachan. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    In all honesty I can’t understand that mindset.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Although If truth be told I too was very upset at his appointment, not for anything other than football reasons (his managerial record). I really felt it would prove to be a huge mistake, however as a Celtic supporter he deserved my full support.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Each season I have had severe doubts about WGS and he has never really done anything to dispel those doubts. In terms of poor attitude and his inability IMV to put together a balanced side that delivred consistency in terms of entertainment and quality. Of which the majority of last season was a prime example. <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Again this summer I see the same cracks in the side that have been their ever since WGS took over. It feels like déjà-vu, I am not hoping but I am expecting, just like I have done each season under WGS for it all to go * up. <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    However here is the thing, he keeps proving us wrong no matter how much he is berated as a manager. The be all and end all is results and thankfully in terms of trophies and Europe he could not have delivered much more, for that he deserves our support.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Until the time comes that he is failing in terms of success, then we really have no right not to support him. Question his decisions "yes" question his attitude "yes" question his team selections "yes" question his signings "yes" but question his record that is just silly IMO it’s un-questionable.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>

    He has some fair points on how poor Rangers have been in the last 3 years... but I disagree with the 05/06 season, Hearts were a very good side... and we will never know where Hearts would have finished hadnt Burley been sacked.
