    Recent days have seen us in direct contact with Celtic to again express our disappointment and ongoing concern regarding the current situation at the club. In a season which had promised so much, very few could have envisaged us to be in the dire position in which we find ourselves in the early weeks of 2021.

    Again, we outlined the concerns of our members regarding the lack of communication by the club and the perceived resistance to change in terms of the current management team. It is our view that change sooner rather than later would be more beneficial.

    We also took the opportunity to highlight our concerns regarding the potential consequences of further inaction, in relation to season ticket renewals in the coming months as a feeling of disillusionment is growing among our members and indeed the wider Celtic support.

    As always, we will continue to liaise closely with the club and keep our members updated through our usual channels.

    The Committee of The Association of Irish Celtic Supporters’ Clubs

    The club is in * freefall right now. The manager just came out and sladmit the club is doing * all to keep the squad in a viable position, * off to dubai, just giving up in the league no * communication other than "happy birthday some * that used to be part of the club"

    * * every * involved in the management and destruction of the club. We will be * lucky to finish 4th at this * rate. Its * gross incompetence

    At a point now where we're actively sabotaging next season the longer we allow this * to continue, we're in massive trouble.

    Genuinely, where do we go from here?

    our board has had years to learn how to build a football team and fail time and time again. Huns have been in the league for what 3 seasons, have been a shambles behind the scenes for years and have still managed to build a team rivalling or beating anything we have had in the entire 9 in a row. The board doesn’t react to things like this, there will be no change to how we operate and the kind of players and managers we get, we know this from experience by now. But genuinely what is there to look forward to as a Celtic fan? We have no ambition whatsoever beyond signing young players and selling them for massive profit. We don’t reinvest enough, we don’t try and take our team to the next level, we don’t seriously treat ourselves like a team that can succeed anywhere outside of Scotland. Every time we’ve made it out the groups in Europe we rest on our laurels, refuse to strengthen and get eliminated. Remember we’ve not progressed past the first knockout round of any European competition since 2004. When did Lawwell and co come in? Absolute disgrace

    Our board sees this season as a success, made 10 million profit from Frimpong and were due millions from Eddy and Ajer! They’ll be looking for more of the same next season ffs

    Like everyone else I'm struggling to find any logical reasoning as to why the board are doing nothing.

    Change right now would make sense in terms of building for next season. But the the only thing we're seeing is players leaving and management staying.

    The only conclusion I can come to is that DD is concerned about the future of the football industry in light of covid.

    Devaluation of players, managers and coaching staff; increased costs; restriction of supporters attendance; falling ST sales, across the whole footballing world.

    Perhaps we have a big downsizing event coming. Cut costs and prepare for the worst. A total clear out with replacements payed a fraction of present costs.

    I can't remember which game the Don't sleep at the wheel banner was unfurled but obviously everyone new at the time that the feckers might (and did) just do that.
