    To be fair Celtic a run very well concedering the league we are in,.bringing good young players still and keeping our big players using the transfer money lately, this is on the tactics the training and the management team, then the players before pointing the finger at the board, can't help but think if the board left we would be struggling financially

    you are easily pleased a laughing stock in Europe for the celtic, even my young nephew is embarrassed for us, get to * with trying to make excuses for this inept tory board, who are ripping the * out of our famous club, lennon and the appointment of him shows the cheapskates they really are, never ever make excuses for this moneymaking machine who are taking the * out of the celtic support. 10 in a row withis crap what a joke.

    You think they haven't sat back on an advantage we had instead of strengthening from a position of strength? Ok , agree to disagree.

    They did what business minded people do, spent enough to win 9 league titles including 3, possibly 4 consecutive trebles. That's not sitting back on an advantage in any way, shape or form, we pretty much over the last 4 seasons have cemented our total dominance. The one big mistake they made was hiring Neil Lennon on a permanent basis and even then they've backed him this season so he wasn't even the oft quoted "cheap option" it's just a * poor appointment.

    Their lack of leadership in this crucial season is disgusting, as much as our billionaire owsner's refusal to invest in a professional up to date manager in our most important season for years.

    Edit: Other clubs have people with an understanding of football at their board, Bayern till exemple. Does even one of our board member have an idea how to run the footballing side of our club or are all those members business * from other industries?

    They need to step up and pull the trigger.
    Statement in the morning declaring he is out the door, or at least that Sunday is his last.
    Announce intentions to have new man in place during the break and get to work NOW(yesterday) on bringing a new man in.
    Calibre of Rodgers, no * around. Spend the money needed, there is a * list as long as the pitch of managers our of a job. Even if it's just for this season, spend the money needed to sort this.
    Or you are kissing Goodby the ten, kissing goodbye the chance at the lucrative CL money, yet again.

    Being cheap or waiting any longer is going to cost us in a lot of * ways.

    And it will cost the board their position as well.

    Credit them for the investment in players over the summer in an extremely uncertain economic climate but they need to be held accountable for hiring Lennon when there were many other better candidates at the time, throwing their applications in the bin, and not having the balls to sack him when we've had as poor a start to the season in decades.

    Our squad is good, far better than what it's producing at the moment. The management team don't appear to have a clue, and poaching WGS' son from Peterborough in the summer speaks volumes about their (lack of) vision when it comes to football operations.

    They might have marketing and profit maximisation down to a tee but there has to be a change in structure of how we run the major function of the club - the football team. We look miles behind clubs with smaller budgets in every aspect where it matters.

    Domestic success is expected with our resources and while the consecutive trebles is an immense period of domination - it means little if we're becoming European whipping boys at the same time... Where is the ambition???

    Looking at the very real possibility that in the space of 9 years that the Huns died and started a new club, started from the bottom tier of Scottish football, failed to get promotion from the championship one year, were a complete basket case until 2018, Have overtook us at youth level and now outperform is in Europe and probably going to win the league pretty comfortably against the most dominant side European domestic football has ever seen.

    Every single one of them needs chased out of Glasgow.

    When you think about it there really was no chance the same guys that * 4 in a row under strachan, hired Mowbray and went cheapskate with deila weren’t going to be a hinderance to winning the 10

    This doesn’t reflect well on Peter Lawwell but he can change that by acting quickly and getting shot of Lennon.

    If you have read any of dermot desmonds press releases recently you will see that Lennon was in fact his choice not lawells the thing about lawell not looking at other cv is pie in the sky we have a guy who like to have a range of different targets when it comes to transfers do you not think he had a list of managerial targets also infact I’m pretty sure he was looking to bring in a young up and comer before the decision was made for Lenny

    A clueless manager and a spinless CEO who appointed him. This is an absolute disaster. Lennon won't walk and Lawwell won't fire his man.

    It’s not the first time the powers at be have handed titles to an opponent, Just look at WGS final season.

    If they keep Lennon at the club then they will win their first major league trophy and it would be criminal for that to happen.

    Lennon is to blame for the shambles that’s going on, now it’s time to act and get a replacement in pronto, if they fail to see he is causing all the problems they may as well call it a boogy and hand them zombie * pigs the trophy.

    I said wait till xmas,but after the other night i think it would be a mistake. 3 months into the league and we are still waiting for form to kick in...? its the same mistakes game after game after game,someone is not learning or refuses to move from their ways despite their ways clearly failing. Or the player want lenny out. Yes we have 2 games in hand but we look more like dropping points than that other crowd and that is a problem and a worry. If we are were we are with form and mistakes when we play them on dec 29th...? then we will lose the league that day.
