    Starting to genuinely believe they are doing this as Brendan has ruffled feathers behind the scenes and they are trying to get him to quit to save even more of their Christmas bonus. Absolutely disgusting what they have done

    Yeah sounds mental but there’s honestly part of me thinking Lawwell is doing it as he’d love Rodgers to go out on a fail

    At this point I can think of no other explanation other than self sabotage.

    I don't know how any set of supposed professionals could be this incompetent.

    Stop attending games, don't buy any merchandise, cancel your Celtic TV subscriptions and unsubscribe from the club's YouTube channel. Don't even follow these * on social media.

    Get organised, weekly protests are needed until every single one of these charlatans are out the door.

    Enough is enough.

    It seems that there is no accountability. If you are a shareholder, you have to be on the phone to DD asking * is going on. It seems that DD only cares about making profit.

    Where is the club progressing? What infrastructure are we investing in? What happened to the hotel? The planning permission has now expired. The youth team requires significant investment…

    Say it was self sabotage, the question would then be why ? ............why would the custodians of the club do this.

    Option 1: Desmond doesn't want to crush Rangers because he hopes us and them could go into the English league system. Nevermind that in reality this has no chance of happening because lower league English clubs are barely surviving as is. Still, I think the delusions of DD lead to us never seizing the advantage when we have it.

    Option 2: the board members have clauses wherein their bonuses depend on the cash balance in the account, thus being motivated to avoid spending lavishly. TBH, doesn't explain last summer.

    Option 3: this is a revenge job by Peter Lawwell on Rodgers for getting his useless son fired. Lawwell convinced the rest of the board by painting Trusty, Idah and Engels as failures. I think this one is the best explanation for this specific window.

    If you had told someone in January we would have sold Kyogo and Idah and replaced them with a loan deal for Dsvid * Fofana even the most ardent critic of the Board wouldn't have believed it. Complete incompetence.

    As dark as it gets. Mental that we've won what we've won over the past 15 years, off the back of a great CL campaign, and they've managed to * it all up so badly.

    Honestly mind-boggling.

    Dear Jesus. So its Maeda, Shin and Kenny for the season. That is utterly pathetic.

    I'm starting to genuinely think that they’re incapable of multitasking.

    They threw all of their eggs into the Dolberg basket and are sitting there just now stunned that they couldn’t get it done, without absolutely nobody lined up as a back up.

    It took us over a year to get MAB in ffs.

    They brought Jota back in January and signed KT for the summer. We were excited looking into the summer with some quality additions. Now look at us. The Board need to be replaced. Desmond who I loathe can get to * the crooked freak.

    We dreamed about wing options of a fully fit KT and Jota with AJ and Kuhn on the right.

    Now we have a KT that even after a full preseason can't last 90minutes at all, barely a single winger and AJ is out for three months and Jota longer.

    Think its been obvious for some time that we work on 1, maybe 2 deals max, at a time.

    Nicholson was probably flustered trying to do his job today.

    Feels like they are running a rigged carnival game.

    The illusion of a prize just within reach but actually just a scam to take your money.

    History tells us this was definitely the case … either that or we’re just not bothering with the right hand side this window and are happy with him and Forrest for the rest of the season.
