    I can't remember any worse either. However we've to add the new defender who looks good, the Japanese star who's going to score more than eddy could dream of. Surely his public message last night will force through some more aswel. We just seem to always be in a mess during qualifiers. The years we got through, we happened to be in good shape. Who would have thought.

    The Board are far too risk averse and think far too much about every decision. They think that not panicking is shown by taking time to analyse every aspect of every decision. In reality sometimes you need someone to take the bull by the horns step up and be ruthless. That is not panicking. That is needed in life at certain moments. As far as I see the Board coast along and wait for Desmond to call the shots when the * hits the fan. If we dont get the act together and soon Parkhead will be toxic by the time we all get back in.

    1 title loss (potentially more, granted) > 9 titles in a row lost.

    Couldn't give a * if our team is better currently compared to the 90s or not. The fact is we lost 9 titles in a row. Doesn't smack of competitiveness.

    Problem is is that there is no way to get rid of them. None.

    History has proven that you can't. Ashley is still in charge of Newcastle. There's nothing we can do.

    Too happy to sit and take their cheques.

    The funny thing is if they don't start spending those cheques will.be getting a lot smaller.

    That is because Newcastle fans follow in their droves as well, just like we do.

    Starve them of money.

    Its the only way now.

    First time in my life that i have not bought a strip or training top for myself or anyone in family.

    No season tickets for any family member this season,although i gave mine up few years ago.

    They fully expect a jumping Paradise soon,i honestly cant see anything like that again with this team we have and board.

    Sadly too many fans will still pay up.

    I dont have a ST anymore but I was at my mates to seriously consider what they do. Most answers were "aye but if I dont take it someone else will and I'll no get it back" or along those lines. Two of them have season tickets in the standing section and dont want to lose it etc etc.

    Thats the issue. There will always be someone to pay up. It needs mass protest, for starters and a call for Mckay to live up to his 'transparent' 'modern' approach.

    I’ve seen enough from Ange so far to have confidence in his ability to manage the team. There’s largely been improvements in our style of play however much hindered by the lack of player options. I still believe that given the tools, Ange will turn us in a winning team. That being said, this current board seem * bent still on sending us back to the 90’s and once again the biggest threat to a successful Celtic is the Celtic board themselves. I’ve ran out of expletives to use and the only thing left now is some sort of futile hope the board will just eventually wake the * up and see the damage they’re causing.

    Certainly way more competitive than we were last year thats for sure !!
    All im saying is if you look at our squad at the moment its easily the worst talent wise i can remember us having , if it happens to be good enough to win us a title id be lying if i said i wouldnt settle for that .

    Sack the board. There needs to be a 90s style Celtic revolution. Its went way too far!! That back 4 after all these months is nothing short of scandalous. Infact it's theft of our money. There hoarding it to sustain there obscene bonuses. Need to get all of them out to a man.

    There's still a bit of me thinking that we wouldn't have been allowed to do the 10, even if we had a half decent team and manager last season, but that's another argument. They are not a great team but they are organised and have players willing to bust a gut for them whereas we had Lennon and the likes of Edouard and the rest is history.

    The boards ambition doesn’t meet the ambition of the support.

    The boards investment doesn’t meet the investment of the support.

    Until this changes, Celtic Football Club will not be a competitive force in Europe and we will struggle to catch the Huns.

    This penny pinching, unprepared approach has cost us time and time again. This was supposed to be a new era but there is nothing new about it whatsoever and that lies with the board.

    We need to make ourselves heard in the stadium. We need to be relentless until major positive change happens.
