    I wish he’d * off.

    I don’t want his money in the club.

    He's the reason why the club is not showing its full potential in Europe and with his Tory pals on the board .
    The club needs gutted out of these people and real Celtic men who knows what Celtic mean but until then we will just be making up the numbers in European competitions .

    Hands on? Really? If he went any slower his nickname would be the snail for * sake!

    Only thing this * has hands on is a set of golf clubs on a golf course.

    Hands on with transfers, is that why Ange called the board out on hesitating on deals then. Hardly helping him rebuild by * about and not making the proper offers for players and they go elsewhere or get fed up of waiting

    It appears to me he’s ideal for getting involved in our transfer dealings. He couldn’t spot a footballer if he smacked him in the mouth, similar to our other “scouts”!!!!!
    What does this say about McKay? Does he not trust him to do his job or is Dom trying to do things too professionally and supply the manager with the tools he undoubtedly needs?

    John J Fisher has a net worth of $3.3bn.

    Desmond $2bn.

    I get what you said in your original post and I also get that these guys will have a lot of money tied up, but we are sitting here haggling over an extra 700k for a RB, a position we badly need filled.

    Its a load of bollocks. That's a total worth of near $5bn not to mention every other * that's sitting on the board and you're telling me that we have to wait and see if we can get past a European qualifying round to spend £4m on a winger?? (Lovric).

    Its nonsense IMO. If we continue to operate like this as a club we will never amount to anything. We could spend money and still be v comfortable with these guys bankrolling us.

    The problem is they won't. We aren't gonna go bust by them coming together and giving a manager £30-40m, but again, they won't.

    Its just a side interest for them and a chance to say to his yank pals "look I'm sitting on the board at celtic" before he * back over the Atlantic in his private jet.

    Also, as I've said elsewhere, if this board weren't willing to back a manager like Brendan Rodges (literally the best coach we can hope to get) then anyone else has zero chance.

    Exactly.

    I mean to say, even if he offered to put some in I wouldn’t want it.

    We know hes not the * owner but the way him and the board have treated the fans last year was a disgrace and just look at the state of the squad now threadbare and be lucky to get into the Europa League at this moment.
    We were miles ahead of the zombies on and off the park and look at us now a * disgrace and just look at the zombie back five to our back five it's * neglect from Desmond and the board .
    We have a keeper who can't catch or save a ball and a right back who can't defend and we have two teenage centre halfs going into the biggest game of the season and also Taylor who's only good enough for back up .
    The squad is no were near good enough and that's down to Desmond and the board and just a disgrace we have fallen so far back the zombies are favourites to win every competition domestically.

    Billionaires like these guys get their kicks out of seeing profit reports in the black.

    Even though they have such wealth they cannot stand the thought of spending it. There’s been countless examples of this, it’s a weird kinda sickness.

    As far as I’m concerned that’s their choice. Like I say, I don’t want their money.

    What annoys me is they use their money and power to dictate how this club is run while supporters fund the club. Dermot Desmond says the club will do this and the club will do that but it’s normal supporters that’s funding it.

    With the likes of Keane and Rodgers, I don’t think Desmond actually put money in. He’s literally just told the club to spend its money. Some people might say that’s good because with Rodgers especially we got a great result, but the real question is why the * do we need Desmond to sanction us getting a manager like Rodgers in? Why not get him and his cronies to * and we can do that all the time instead of once every 20 * years when HE deems himself insulted enough to allow it?

    Ultimately the problem is we’re not supporters anymore, we’re customers.

    If you want to be a supporter again you need to get rid of these people and take a controlling stake in the club.
