Peter Lawwell

Could you forward that to our board m8. Precise and straight to the point

 

See the thing for me with this simple statement- Ange * done it. And he’s currently doing it to * Levy at Spurs - who is Lawwell’s stingier clone.

BR hasn’t been shy about saying we need quality to be brought in, either has his captain in Calmac as well.


BR’s not a daft *, he wouldn’t roll over and accept no effort, didn’t the first time round and wouldn’t be back and accept it at all second time - unless I’ve majorly misjudged his professionalism and his * ego as well. I don’t think I have.


So what’s the difference, because Ange forced it to happen.

 

Deserves a statue

 

Might start a GoFundMe for him offering Lenny a contract in the shower statue; with 5 Trophies that was won after that on the plinth

 

A man who’s dedicated his life to Celtic

 

I don't, in theory, disagree with the majority of what you say here mate. However, on here especially, I seem to constantly read how easy it could/should be to run a club from identifying and then buying players/then how to off load the deadwood, when the reality is it is not, otherwise every team in football would have no deadwood and be packed with the absolute best players they can acquire, we know this isnt the case at all, yet some act as though its easy.
Regarding the players suggestions firstly Im not sure I would be impressed to find out that we use that as a resource in the first place tbh given some of the dross Ive seen mentioned in it. So I would hope/know that we do look at a large number of players outwith, although some may have appeared in that thread.
The part i really do disagree with is the last part, you can simply not say never as that can change quiet quickly. I didn't quiet follow your final sentence as I didn't question anyone but if a board doesn't have an eye on the future they are failing in the present.

I think we all want the best we just don't all agree on the best way to get the best we can attract.

 

Speculating infers gambling, it's a word used by people who don't want to invest and to justify a highly risk averse approach. aka Peter Lawell.

Celtic need calculated but also ambitious investment, in the right areas to grow both the product (success on the pitch) as well as the balance sheet.
Failure to invest leads to stagnation and decline.
Remarkably, done well, investing in the product increases the worth of the product and subsequently the income.
Reinvest wisely and the positive upward cycle increases - who would have thought it!
A list of 50 clubs, many smaller than us seem to be able to pull off a better balance - not us tho.

 

That's quite a picture you've painted there

A statue of Lawwell and Lennon in the shower would be a niche market

 

Get the * that made Ronaldo’s Goonie statue to do it, for a laugh

 

The difference imo is that Ange was dealing with Nicolson. A guy who it's becoming abundantly clear is a spineless * moron who can be easily bullied.

I reckon even Deila would have been able to force him to do what he wanted

 

Lawwell. That’s the difference.

 

Ultimately we will judge this window properly at the end of the season. If we go on win the league by a bit of a margin fans will shrug it off like always. But if we blow the league because we allowed rangers to outspend us in this window I think there would be and should be a massive reaction against the board

 

If Lawwell is actively hindering him, then BR’s no worth a * if he’s not immediately on the blower to Dermot, who * adores him.

 

Left the last time with us * him about with transfers. Desmond didn’t bother his * then clearly. Rodgers will leave again at the end of the season in my opinion. A new manager won’t solve our problems.

 

Desmond has a short attention span with these things I always feel, he gets involved for short bursts. Also the fact - he’s just back in the door after presumably having been reassured it’s different circumstances now.

I agree with you, a new manager won’t help in the slightest. Unless it’s somehow Ange or just equally as sky high, not going to happen ever, and a ridiculous suggestion - Klopp, Mourinho and co.

BR is the highest quality we can get I think. Ange is a higher quality, but that was * luck for us, not for Ange or by Ange. We stumbled into that and somehow had the biggest hidden talent in football, that I can only point to Lubo for a similar surprise to genius package that I’ve seen in football ever. And Lubo was pre widespread internet and in France and internationally wasn’t a surprise package like he was here. Was more a * unlucky career.

Feasibly, we cannot get another Ange. That’s once in a lifetime stuff. BR is the highest quality we can get here, and as much as it’s maligned and doubted, He would never ever look at us at all never mind second time round having been stung already by our club, if he wasn’t a fan, if he didn’t have that emotional attachment.

That attachment isn’t bullshit from him, he’s waxed lyrical about us before he was at us at Swansea and Liverpool, and after he was here at Leicester when he had interviews stressing the connection he has with us is something that is special to him. We hated him in general at that point, he wasn’t currying favour with us, and telling Leicester fans that fact isn’t currying favour with them.

He’s here because he has a passion for us, and if he didn’t have that, he would not have looked twice at the job in the first place and this time around, it would be even more hopeless to attempt to get him here if not for that.

He’s our man, and the club needs to * show that backing to him. We’ve had a few debates about him this season, and it’s probably came across as me disliking him or underrating him as a manager. I’ve been more critical of him because I think the opposite, some decisions he’s done have baffled me and some decisions he’s made the same, and been very un-BR like for me, and I don’t think the guys someone to be messed with or is daft in the slightest, and would cover his * coming back to make sure that how he left and his frustrations and arguments last time round won’t be on repeat is something he’d have made * sure of. But it doesn’t look like that from outside looking in, and I can’t understand it.

 

This is the problem. The fans should cause uproar regardless of the league outcome.

 

Did you hear him saying yesterday, without being questioned or prompted on it, he’s here for the long term? He won’t go.

 

Didn’t hear that mate. If an offer comes in for him at the end of the season, I reckon he will go, and I wouldn’t blame him. He has been brought back here under false pretences in my opinion. All the talk of European progression screamed that a big transfer window was coming in the summer, and with the finances we have, we all expected one.

 

If this is the way it’s going down, and two windows in a row, especially with the amount of time we had to plan for this one after the summer. I wouldn’t blame him in the * slightest, infact, I’d wish him all the best and my respect for the man would raise that bit higher.


And if that did happen, I have zero trust in us having a back up plan if he did leave, and there will be a lot of managers at that higher level (probably a level just below Rodgers if we’re being honest about it) that’d look at his time here, and think if it happened to him, after his success here, how vocal he was about the changes in the club this time round and why he signed. And being misled by the looks of it majorly - who would come under they circumstances? If this situation happened, and I still think there’s something we’re not seeing as fans by the way BR’s talking but if this is the case and the worst happened him washing his hands of us due to incompetence - I’d put a * good wedge on Ronny being back here.

 

He probably gets up during the night to check how much sleep he’s lost.
