    I would like to know? Who is going to take responsability for appointing Mowbury in the first place, surely they have a few question to answer for?

    In the financial climate and poor form are there going to be a reduction on ticket prices to bring the crowds in.

    Will Neil lennon (if Appointed be given a free reign in choosing his backroom staff and Players he wants)

    will he also be allowed to ditch the players we have that are not part of his future team plans. ( McGready for instance)

    Do u not think the date of 1st June is significant though? There is good reason why appointments are held off and getting a manager in at this time provides plenty time to get the team sorted and players in. It's not as if the club have been dragging their feet. There is contractual issues with Mowbray to consider too

    1. The board appointed him. It didn't work out. Simple as that.
    2. The club will no doubt freeze prices but unlikely to reduce as income needs to be maintained
    3. Yes. He's stated that already.
    4. Yes. Although I reckon mcgeady is in his plans.

    Then the board need to stand up and apologise for this mistake, if you or i made such a blatant mistake in our work then, we would be down the road with our P45 in our hands:31:

    Lawell stated quite clearly he shared responsibility for last seasons failings. What do you want him to do other than work to get it right now? People akeRs look for a scapegoat.

    No offense.
    But nearly every single question was answered in the first meeting.

    1) The board take the blame. Who else?

    2) Dunno. But nobody know for sure how the attendances will react on the football next season, on reduced ticket prices etc. In worst case it just means less income, lower budgets, lower standard of players, lower standards of football, recuded crowd, more complaining on TalkCeltic.net.

    But in light of frozen prices for the third year in a row, I suppose Peter Lawwell will point that out, if we confronts him with the question.

    3) PL have already stated it will be next managers call who he wants in his stab. Just like Mowbray took Venus and Grant with him.

    4) Well, I suppose it depends of which offers comes in?
    Anyway Neil Lennon stated on the first meeting that he wants to keep McGeady (and Scott Brown) if he could. So...

    2 But attracting the punters in with lower game ticket prices, in the long run could be better financialy especially in the merchandising and food sales etc. (knocking £5 of the ticket could benefit in the long run, loss leaders and all that):50:

    Do you think Mowbray called all the shots in getting rid of Robbo, Skippy and Heed.

    McGeady was an example name...... i mean if he wanted Boruc out would he be allowed to get rid or would the board interfere. I just think that Neil was too easy a choice for the board to make i think, they Think they could control him easier than any experienced manager they bring in ie Hughes etc.

    I don't think so.

    He didnt fancy skippy that much and brought in his players. He also tinkered with the defence several times and brought his own men in.
