Where would we be without Peter Lawell

aye let the people sing

 

Fair play Gargamel for trying to reason with complete bellends

 

Aye this whole thing with the Green Brigade is appalling.

He's took 10 million from us in wages and done a poor job.

Time to go Pete, don't let the door hit your * on the way out.

 

Is that you Mr Guevara?

Quite the little militant aren't we? I can see you tetchily standing out Celtic Park, berating "consumers" for having the temerity to engage with "the PLC."

League Titles, CL participation, becoming the dominant force in domestic football, a team that only lost two games it should have won last year. None of this is GOOD enough and you demand ACTION!!!!

You are the Enabler of Justice you SHALL HAVE YOUR DAY IN THE SUN!!!

Ever though about just chilling out, having a beer and going to the game with your mates?

You should try it sometime. It's only the fitba and it's quite good fun

Some people REALLY do have a burning hatred for our club eh? Strange times indeed :smiley-laughing002:

 

For the last few years he's taken season ticket money, champ s league money, transfer money and happy to balance the books. No ambition anymore or elements of risk , he gets a lot of credit for balancing the books but anybody can take the money not invest and balance books.

 

And when the guy leaves and the new guy does not one * thing different who will you rant at then....??????

 

Maybe....oh just maybe...all that money has been spent keeping the club working.

Its gone somewhere right....??? Because its not sitting in the bank waiting to be spent.

 

The new guy should be given a basic salary that matches his capabilities, his bonuses should be based on the success we have on the football pitch. Now we have a system in place where Lawwell gets million pound bonuses for balancing the books and making a profit. Instead we should be giving our chief executive bonuses based on the success we have on the pitch rather than encourage financial austerity.

He has took 10 million from us and isn't doing anything to justify this obscene salary other than collude with the authorities harassing our fans and help turn our ground into a morgue with zero atmosphere. To answer your question, i'll rant at the rest of the tories and zionists on our board till they are removed from our club.

 

What new guy? Last I seen Lawwell was heading up our football club into a new era whilst you just spout hate on the internet anonymously?

I thought being permanently raging was the modus operandi of another mob near here.

People ranting and raving on football forums in a REALLY serious way like it means * ANYTHING are a * riot

Just go to the games and support your club. The wee histrionics are tiresome and wholly irrelevant

 

I am posting my opinion on Lawwell, just like you. My post has as much relevance as yours.

That is what a forum is for isn't it?

Certain fans aren't welcome to go to the games and support their club unfortunately. Some people can't afford it and some people don't want to go and get treated like * by stewards and police. The attitude you are displaying towards fans who aren't happy with how the club is being run just make you look like pompous *.

 

Come on mate, if you tell the CEO he's only getting bonuses based on the on-field success and not financial management, he'll blow all the money you have, get you marginally more success and you'll be liquidated shortly afterwards.

The ground is a morgue because of the state of the league we play in. Champions league atmospheres are evidence of that.

 

Nothing to do with the offensive behavior act?

 

But you'll never be happy mate. In fact I'd bet the only time you are happy is when you are railing against "the man" in some way.

Be good if you could use that anger against some of our enemies mind - using it against our own club is kind of galling.

EVERY Celtic fan who agrees to abide mostly by the rules set down by the football authorities (ie not Celtic) are welcome at Celtic Park. It's completely illogical to think otherwise if you gave it even a cursory thought for a second.

Maybe you think Peter Lawell instigated fans not being allowed to stand at CP. Maybe you think its just him who has an issue with lateral movement or breaking seats? Or smoke bombs?

In truth this is just normal society.

People get FAR too upset because they are not allowed to do what the * they want. In reality the club would be unstoppable if we could pull together (impossible I know.)

I know you've not explicitly mentioned the GB by name and I have maybe dragged them into this but, for the record, I am a MASSIVE fan of the good things that the GB do and would absolutely love to see them in the stadium again.

 

If that act is repealed tomorrow, we'll sell 60,000 season books? Does the act not apply to Champions League games?

 

Normal society?

Fans can drink and stand while attending every other sporting event, even including football games in other countries. Just in this country fans can't stand and drink in the stadium unless they have enough money to buy a corporate seat of course. Its a backwards mentality we have in Scotland and the game is suffering because of it, you just need to look at the dwindling crowds.

The GB are trying to buy season tickets together so they can go and support the team as you are suggesting people do, but the board seem to be blocking them from doing so, specifically Peter Lawwell... that is why they weren't at the game on Saturday.

Me and you have different ideas about what Celtic is, as in the 'club' as an entity. I don't believe criticism of people like Peter Lawwell is against our own club, or in any way attacking the club.

Lawwell is a temporary custodian and nothing more. He gets enough of a handsome wage packet to take a bit of justified criticism from the average joe who scrimps and scrapes to buy a season ticket and support the club. You seem to be suggesting Lawwell is exempt from criticism and people should just pay their money and sit down and shut up.

 

I don't know, Maybe not but we got fined for Celtic Symphony in Europe just a couple of years ago which isn't much better.

 

Aye, a normal society - in Scotland. If you don't like it, fine, but it's got rock all to do with PL.

The GB are not allowed to be in CP as they don't follow the rules set down by the footballing authorities. Again, nothing to do with PL. You don't see why he is between in a rock and a hard place here? Honestly?

I do agree with your sentiment on criticism though and also that it has helped shape who we are, usually for the better. I admire our support (and your) ability to not be a lapdog. Questioning is good and, for sure, PL is simply a custodian of the club - 100%.

I just think the viewpoint here is horribly misplaced. The thing you posted above accusing him of is not of his doing. He will always be compromised in these situations but the support lack the basic savvy required to understand that.

So instead we get cheap insults flung his way on the internet. To me it's all a bit lazy and destructive.

 

Can you back that up?

This just isn't true, the club are stopping the GB from purchasing season tickets in the same way as any other supporter who wants to go to games and support the team.

You can dress it up whatever way you want, but this is 100% fact.

The atmosphere is suffering because Lawwell is refusing to negotiate with them. Nothing to do with the football authorities and any rules as you are claiming.

 

I think they're just stopping them from all sitting together because when they do they tend to jump around too much and it's dangerous. I've witnessed the lateral movement myself, it does look dangerous.

Ask yourself what would happen if there was an accident because of that.

Out of interest, why do you think PL doesn't like the GB?
