    I don't hate Brendan Rodgers. I don't even dislike him in fact. I absolutely do hate Peter Lawwell though. What he is doing now is FAR worse than what Brendan Rodgers did.

    Seeing that his position is going to be reviewed again in the new year. Well if it wasn't already too late to turn things around by now (I think it is), it definitely will be then.

    Good job Lenny, absolutely * your legacy. Not interested in anything he has to say anymore. The board can take a good * to themselves as well.

    All this sabotage by the board cause they won't pay him off, they'll get what they deserve if we lose all games before the new year

    I blame Rodgers for a lot of things. His signings were crap, his words out of touch with reality, he made bad choices in the Boyata/Dembele sagas, his poor man's tiki taka was most of the time horrible to watch and he had no plan B.

    But one thing I am not mad at him is for leaving. I totally understand why a manager wouldn't want to work with this board. I think what happened was the best thing possible, his football style was becoming stale, there was only so much he could do in a team with our budget, we got 9 million for him and the chance of getting a manager that was hungrier and with a style more suitable to us.

    And then we went for the first guy we saw in the shower.

    He keeps on saying he is the man and he has the boards backing. Well then win every game from now up to the Huns with conviction and SHOW us your the man. Otherwise lose one match and walk with what dignity you have left.

    The vitreol he mentions thrown at our manager by fans pales into insignificance compared to what i was shouting at the radio when this old helmet started spouting his usual crap!!!

    Guy is a roaster. Comparing it to the 90’s again, and you can bet he though Celts for Change was a bunch of bampots then too.

    Keep hearing this no divine right to win titles, yes we accept that, but we cannot accept surrendering them without a fight, it’s an utter disgrace the situation we are in.

    In terms of getting backed, it's interesting that (if you take Rodgers' first summer out of the equation). Lenny, Ronny and Rodgers all seem to have spent a lot of money on players that never played. Seriously: how many threads have we accumulated by now on players that we bought and almost never played? A cynic might almost think the managers never actually wanted these players in the first place.

    Is it being backed if they board spend money on a player you never asked for?

    Laurie is from the variety of a particularly vile sort of Celtic fan that loves to be contrary and spout his board bandwagon Pish on air...

    He used to call in crying (literally) that he couldn’t afford to go to games and had folk donating tickets and lending him their ST....

    Then as son as Rodgers arrived he’s bought season tickets for his whole family and going to european games....

    He’s exactly what Lawwell wants in the stands as he is fully on-board with the OF agenda.

    Absolute *!

    That show is run by Huns, presented by Huns and only listened to by Huns, or gullible Tims, who they set up gleefully. They are a laughing stock and in no way representative of meaningful football discussion in Glasgow. They are like the Record and the Sun but the radio equivalent.

    Board caught cold and unable to come up with an interim or long term manager. A dereliction of duty.

    Lennon is a footballing dinosaur hanging onto his last big time job by a thread.

    We are * beyond this season

    I am looking at the list of players signed by Deila on the first season. All of them, bar Michael Duffy, played a few times. The one who played the least was Wakaso, who came on loan already in September and played 11 matches.

    Second season, same thing. Except for Carlton Cole, but there is a very good reason for this. Eventually, even guys visibly less exciting and promising than Shved and Soro had their chance. Such as Scott Allan.

    With Rodgers, the signings he refused to play with were the likes of Musonda and Marvin Compper, for which there were good reasons for.

    The only who mysteriously sign young players only to leave them rotting in the bench with no reasonable excuse other than "muh fitness" is Lennon. Not to mention the queue of academy players waiting for a game and getting more and more frustrated, at a time that Brown has to play every single minute of football possible.

    I am extremely critical of the board but Lennon cannot play this card. He got relatively good signs, instead of the crap Deila had to work with, and wasted them. Laxalt, Barkas, Duffy are very good players on paper. It is an extreme coincidence that all of them discover they are * at Celtic. Almost as if the problem is with the manager, or something.

    At this point, I don't even write off the possibility of Bolingoli being a good player. Seriously.

    Bolingoli is a good footballer but needed very intense coaching. He was never going to get that from Lennon.
