    The whole windows been a disaster because of them..

    Our managers leaving because of them..

    Our support are ready to blow because of them..

    There's been real needless negativity for weeks because of them..

    We're ridiculously under prepared because of them and it beggars belief because we're minted and our best players up top are long gone and sold for big money..

    We've gambled with qualification because of them..

    All * will break loose if we go out next week, just before going to that mob days later as well..

    If they had any morales about them they release a statement tomorrow detailing what their * plan or a serious explanation as to why this has been a car crash of a window.

    They won’t but and they’ll get away with it as the Huns will self implode and we’ll get another title gift wrapped to us

    This! Then they’ll point their short stubby fingers at this for why they won’t spend any money. They are a bunch of weak sheisters, they sit in the plush seats like they deserve it, it’s a * privilege to sit in those seats, so start * doing your job you bunch of *.

    Throw in the fact it just gives the Huns more belief as well when they're a * basket case themselves.

    We should be laughing here...* mental. Does make you wonder about their true ambitions and how far they want to be ahead. Genuinely.

    They'll blame Brendan you can be sure. They'll say he should be good enough to beat Kairat over two legs with this present squad.

    We might still do, but there is £40M at stake here. No doubt there is a crisis meeting now going on.

    They don't want us to be too far ahead of the huns and never build on a position of strength when its right there in front of us and ready to take advantage of, if We do go out of the CL it should come as no surprise, they have held us back for years and will continue to do so, fans having a go at them tonight won't make much difference, they are all immune to anything that is directed towards them and just turn their heads away as if nothing is happening, will give them a little credit for making us a sustainable football club but at the end of the day, We are NOT a Bank.

    Their sole ambition is to only ever be slightly ahead of rangers it can be the only explanation for finding ourselves in this situation year upon year. We have the money, the infrastructure, manager to be a decent champions league team, similar to a club Brugge type but the * clowns in charge will never allow it.

    Look at Brugge as an example. Were a proper decent side at CL level last season, took in £70m in player sales but rather than standing still and gamble on having enough they spent big on players early and will get there again, then no doubt do alright in the competition. Yet here we are having sold a couple relying on guys who were struggling to make the squad last season trying to get us there again.

    We’re a joke of a club and * only knows where we go when Rodgers inevitably goes. He’s an elite manager only wasting his time here because he’s a fan of the club. He’s 100% gone at the end of this season now, if not before and it’s entirely on them.

    I think we’ve blown champions league now, which no doubt means another player sale and a few desperate punts in the £2-4m sort of bracket which will no doubt result in cluttering the squad with even more deadwood and setting us back even further for next season.

    Everyone in here now sounds like me :giggle1:.

    But the next window we'll get the same blind optimism pish from the same posters telling everyone to calm down, based on absolutely nothing but wishful thinking and contrary attitudes.

    The board do this because we let them.

    Theyre entirely reactionary in everything they do.

    We needed to lose the league for them to dump Pete. Then they snuck him back in the side door and guess what...* were saying; calm doon. Hes no even gonna be handling transfers anymore! Nicholsen is running the windows now.

    Posters like myself were going apeshit a month ago. "Calm doon. Yer chatting pish. Theres plenty of time. We signed MrX in late August".

    Same folk who claimed Rodgers' wouldn't be coming back to be shortchanged all over again.

    If you want change we all need to start fulfilling that change in ourselves first.

    STOP GIVING THE * YOUR MONEY.

    I haven't bought a single official item in over two years. Not a * stitch. I used to budget my * Christmas' to see how much I could spend on my club.
    When i was last home I knocked back a ticket to see a pre season friendly and it broke my heart to be so close to CP and not get to go.

    But we need more. Where are the * GB? Where are the banners? The protests? Where is the righteous * anger, spilling out of the stadium and onto the Celtic way? Where are the walkouts? Wheres the action?

    Sitting and hoping has allowed almost two decades of stagnation were we shouldve been taking full advantage of Rangers death to invest in every aspect of our footballing operation.

    Folk are actually surprised/ angry we're still getting results like these? Sack the board? Give me a * break ffs.

    I really dont want this to be a "we told you so" post, even though it clearly is. But dont complain when the dog * in your bed when you let him sleep in it.

    But I'll leave this here. Charlie Nicholas has been seen as a pariah by everyone at Celtic. Persona non grata. Epl licking toad. Turncoat *.
    He was literally bulleting Desmond, Lawwell, even Lennon every chance he got. Folk including myself called him a *. Lennon said "who are ya?".
    He looks like * Cassandra right now. Raving at us all how Troy will burn, while we told him to stfu and go away.

    Said it before and I don't mean it disrespectful or to wish any ill will of someone but change only comes with Desmonds death.

    He won't let go of the club any other way

    It is mental though. We've all been on here all summer, I mean I've been on here 13 * summers, and genuinely think I've had these discussions in at least 10 of those. If not all.

    I don't really know what to say, now? There's nothing left to say that hasn't already been. It's a complete shambles and they only have themselves to blame. Gross incompetence and in any other job they'd have been shown the door.

    Again after tonight there will be silence from those in charge, with Rodgers left to face the music.

    Even if we do sign players before the end of the window, its the usual story. We will probably be too little too late.

    Season book prices up
    Newcastle game not on the season book (£25 for a friendly)
    Kairat not on the season book
    Adidas new drops every 2 minutes
    The absolute * up with the stewarding
    Outside the stadium still not sorted from months ago

    That's before we even factor in the shambles of a window all with little to no communication it's just take take take from the *

    Even if they get a rocket up the * we’ll be right back here at square one in 18 months time, they don’t like pressure from the support as soon as that pressure goes they’ll just revert to type.

    Nothing changes till ownership changes

    It's * baffling.

    There is absolutely no logical explanation for doing business this way.

    By all accounts we paid over the odds for both Engles and Idah last year bcoz we left it till last week of the window.

    Teams don't want to sell at this stage so they charge a premium.

    Iv joked about it before but I'm actually starting to think we do leave signings till this time of the window just some can save 2 months wages

    Pretty much this exactly. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. That is Celtic PLC and us on here.

    I told myself after last Summer and how viscerally angry they made me, I would take a step back. After watching that tonight, I just feel the same utter despair and sense of betrayal for the support. I cannot imagine what it must feel like for people actually paying for season tickets and people who spend money they really shouldn't in support of the club, when this is how they are treated every single Summer.

    I know we have had lots of domestic success and we are spoiled, but we can all see the magic and excitement that bringing better players in the door in a reasonable timeframe would create.

    We've refused to replace Kyogo and Kuhn. We've had months to do it. What's the * point?

    Ill say it again,the board wants rangers close to us so there is interest in the league and ticket sales etc. At any point in the last 10 years we could have burried those * for good yet we keep buying * and giving them hope.

    Each and every one of them should feel the fear of impending DOOM and a nervous feeling inside the belly. Is it a good idea to create this much anger? Like some kind of evil experiment which I cannot fathom. They are nazificating themselves which means taking on the persona of evil. Why the * would they do this?

    My truman show delusion ties in with the idea that Celtic plc is a reflection of myself and the effort put in is directly influenced by whether I find a job and sort my life out. So I have applied for a cashier job at aldi.

    It's clear to all to see. And has been for some time now that this board have taken the club as far as they are willing or able to. Time and time again we sleepwalk into these euro qualifiers undercooked and suffering from a lack of serious strategic investment. Quantity over quality and looking for the best value for money instead of the best fit for the team has inevitably left us in this position and we are staring a massive regression in the face.

    Trying to sum of my feelings about the performance of the board at the moment and deciding if its incompetence or negligence and to sum it up best, i ask the question, if they were deliberately intending to hold the club back then I honestly can't think of a better way they could be doing it. Frankly bizarre and unforgivable. A change is long overdue.
