    It could be only down to 3 points if the zombies win their games in hand and that's a * joke where you look at them financially and if we were to lose the league with £72 million in the bank then this board needs to go .

    Both for me. Relying on Mikey Johnstone and Tilio when we're trying to break down Motherwell at home is bad. Still playing Forrest at times, Taylor about our only option at left back, 90 year old Joe Hart in goal.

    Doesn't excuse the utterly dire performances at times when we do have a fully fit squad to choose from though. So over reliant on Palma and whoever gets the nod on the opposite side, as well as trying to walk the ball in constantly.

    These dumb * should just announce the green brigade being allowed back tomorrow. The atmosphere is pitiful now. We get it, you're a bunch of hypocritical fat Tory * who shat it over a Palestine display and needed to make a showing because you're scared of some hacks in the media crying about evil Celtic in this hard time for Israel. It's blown over, so you can take the next step in your typical Tory snakery and try to undeservedly recover all of lost fan support from the gullible ones by letting them back

    So you think we don’t have enough quality to beat Motherwell?

    If we're being honest. We're 6 players short of improvement. Not the 3/4 I thought initially.

    Hart. Done. Needs replaced pronto.

    Taylor. Average at best. Needs replaced ASAP.

    Scales. Nice story. But isn't an improvement on Carl. Jury out on Rocky. A replacement CB needed of CCV quality.

    DMF. Cal isn't the answer, and Iwata isn't trusted. Needs sorted for Europe, whatever the competition we're in next season.

    AMF/box to box player, an athletic 6ft player who has pace and pick a pass.

    RW to challenge Abada. Or better.

    CF. Needed since the summer. Of the mould of GG/Sutton.

    A penalty taker in amongst these positions. Not projects or the like. First team ready, with experience of playing in Europe

    That's just the incomings. A lot more needs to go. We won't break the wage and price brackets used in 2000.

    Half of these should be signed in January to get is over the line for the title.

    We're in a precarious position. Huns with there dire financial position, will.pish the boat out in January if there 4pts behind come January.

    This is the sad truth. We should be looking after ourselves, but infuriatingly, seemed to match our ambitions to staying close to our bitterest rivals.

    Lack of ambition. We've gone backwards again.

    Nae point paying a manager £70k a week and no willing to pay for the right quality of player.

    See, this is baffling. He was on high wages the first time, and probably is now. The figure you quote is unthinkable for our board to approve to be paid to a player, yet the managerial position seems different.

    Rodgers is no miracle maker that easily works on a minor budget, and yet he's expected to keep us competitive in Europe with subpar players. I'd really want to know what goes in the minds of the board members.

    This... Incoherent strategy, by non footballing people, employed in the nepotistic, parochial fashion where pound is king.

    1. Football
    2. Charity
    3. Business

    That's how it should be today.

    How much money can we make this year.

    That's what is in their minds.

    The entire club has no ambition.

    The board as long as they turn a profit appear to give zero * if we win or not. Too many fans also are delighted if we scrimp as long as we finish 1pt ahead of the huns.

    I think we don't have enough quaity to have a better domestic record this season than we currently have. We've done OK by historical standards, but have dropped roughly the amount of points we might expect given the lack of quality in key positions. However, Ange (and Rodgers himself in his first season) set a new, higher standard and I don't think we have the players to match that standard currently, even if Ange himself were still here.

    I suppose an argument could be made that Ange wouldn't have accepted that window; but it still doesn't change the fact that the board didn't have a good enough window.

    It was the board that didn't get the new goalkeeper we clearly needed.

    Na but it's the board that have almost forced us into a conveyer belt of projects due to penny pinching despite is being in maybe our best ever financial position.

    Was it?

    Rodgers clearly said at the AGM he has final say on all transfers. So how was it "the board"?

    So so easy just to blame "the board" for everything.

    I'll rattle off a few names just off the top of my head:

    Palma - £4m+
    A. Johnstone - £3m
    Nawrocki - £5m
    Lagerbielke - £3m+
    Bernabai - £3m+
    Vickers - £6m+
    Jota £6m+
    Kyogo - £4m+

    The board's spending has absoutely * all to do with our insidious relentless sideways passing...

    My weekends ruined. We are all scunnered and thesebself serving tory rat corporate sabotaging * will be sitting in their big fancy houses tonight not giving 1 *.

    £72m in bank. Spoke * about paying the tax bill, then cracked a few hun jokes.

    This mob don't give a *, wouldn't surprise me if they actually want the huns to get the £50m next season to get them back onto a level playing field. Literally * should take the hint and * off!

    As for Rodgers tactics * me they are awful!
