    I would absolutely love to find a way to corner these * on the way out of the stadium and make them answer the fans as to what they’re doing.

    Im in a privileged position where I'm a relatively short drive away from the games, my heart bleeds for the guys coming over from Ireland etc putting thousands of pounds that they don’t have into a club who treats them with absolute contempt.

    So 1/3rd of what we’ve spent on the first team to prepare for a CL qualifier was spent on Lawwell and Nicholson … tells you absolutely everything you need to know about what’s going on at the club right now.

    Thats just pushed me over the edge into "these * better * PRAY i never clap eyes on them in person".

    There was a fair bit of moaning about what @Blochairnbhoy said earlier, perhaps understandably, but i dont give a *. If i were to see Desmond, his rat * son, Lawwell, his rat * son, or that * * doll nicholsen, they would get * lamped. I wouldn't be able to stop myself.

    * REPUGNANT *. Parasites. Pure and simple.

    No better than the "spivs" who rinsed sevco for years.

    120k raise. Jesus *.

    Genuinely give 8 of us 100k a year and send us to scout and get players done and we'd be better value. And I'm not joking.

    Aye but we’re not part of the pals act that’s going on in the board … they even had Lawwells moron son come in to head our recruitment in Rodgers first season.


    The really depressing thing, and it’s morbid to say, is that when Desmond eventually kicks the bucket we’ll be passed down to some other nepo child that likely views Celtic as nothing more than a plaything or a means to make him and his pals even more money.

    Yeah he isn't daft and genuinely must look at the dinosaurs on our board and the basket case financial situation in Govan and think these * are there for the taking.

    Give me 30k and expenses paid and I'll do the scouting and negotiating and manage to do a better job than half these * at board level and below.

    I'm struggling to want to blame the recruitment team as time passes, it is clear they can identify some decent players but it is the men above that is the bigger issue.

    That said, our recruitment/scouting department does feel barebone as well, it massively needs invested in and then backed and funded to succeed

    Years ago some fans would have used the excuse that it would hurt the squad, the investment would go down, that we could financially hurt the club/squad.

    But that excuse, even though I did not agree with at the times, is long gone - we have literally a years worth of revenue sitting in the bank - the money in the bank would cover two years of fans full on boycott of games/merch etc, but surely would get the message across quicker than tht.

    Was only a matter of time before these cretins were targeted with chants at the game. Lose next Tuesday and Sunday and it will be so so toxic.

    Sadly I feel we need a strong opposition, not for competition's sake and to challenge us domestically, but to force our board into action. Only by being starved of domestic success will the purse strings be loosened a tad and then only enough to be a step in front of our rivals. It appears we have to lose everything in order to gain something. The view of being the best in our league has to be put under threat to force change and it's happening, and oh * is it happening. If even the prospect of Champion League money isn't motivation enough for reasonable investment in the team, I don't know what is. Success in qualification puts more coffers in the bank and into their bonus payments. Our own league is too big for some of our board, Europe!!! Leave that for other teams, the mind truely boggles!! The 'Sod you Jack, I'm all right' attitude of powers that be is sickening beyond belief, the contempt that is festering grows with every passing day within me, the anger swells uncontrollably as the enjoyment and fondness of this great club dwindles. I love this club with ever beat of my heart yet despise this board with every fibre of my being. Token signings aren't enough, it is too little too late, if they were really as good as they profess to be they would be more proactive than reactive. It's hard to fathom just how far we are from where we were and should be just because of the tight fisted, penny pinching, money grabbing scrooges at the top. Totally and utterly pi55ed off at the minute... "MATRON... I needs more pills... MATRON...!!! FFS MAAATRON!!! :47:

    This is ironically true. Tisdale and Co are * clueless. Exactly as clueless as you and me would be if Wycombe hired us as scouts.

    We could * outclass anyone working at the club in this regard

    And by we i mean everyone on here watching and discussing every game. Its not coincidence we all share the same thoughts on more or less every player

    Shower of cowardly * leaving BR to face all the flak, get them out in front of the camera's to explain what's going on with the transfers since it's out of BR's remit it seems.
