    Surely to * those on a waiting list can see what this board has done and take their names off that list. Do they honestly want to go watch a Celtic team playing * every week while the huns spend all that CL money from winning the league to strengthen their team? . We all know they won't hoard it in the bank like we do and they wouldn't think twice about burying us in the sand and not giving a flying * about maintaining the "old firm" brand

    It's a losing battle.

    We're not not going to sell tickets or merch.

    Do the board deserve the blame for sitting on fat cheques to end the huns? Yes they do.

    If theirs a reason to wy they are not spending the money. Do tell...

    On the other hand. After all this, we have still won the scum twice. We are still stop of the league. We have just won another treble. I can understand the frustration but young hoops seem to melt under any sign of pressure. How would you of coped in the 90s and mid 2000s?

    The thing is, they have gone into red by backing the manager, they have also shareholders that they need to pay back from the profits, they are on a ffp watchlist. So we will have the financial edge. But se dont spend it, so that edge means nothing ofcourse.

    There is one reason that they might not be spending and it’s the impending court case that those hun * gleefully mention every time. The compensation could take any money that’s in the bank.
    Hate mentioning it but wishful thinking won’t stop it from happening.

    Or they know Rodgers is off and won't spend.

    This is a time old excuse though that the older generation of fans use.

    Just because the club has had tumultuous periods in the past that were worse than recent history doesn't mean we shouldnbe content with what is happening now. The board are running the club into.the ground in a different way this time. Just because there has been that success it has papered over cracks that still exist from boardroom level down to the footballing structure that exists.

    We are stagnating as a football club and also this will eventually impact us a business, it may do so this season if we fail to win the title.

    It's unacceptable and referring back to the 90s isn't gonna make the problems disappear.

    What was wrong with the mid 2000s as well? We reached a European final. Yes we lost a couple titles but it was against a far stronger Hun side in a league that was also overall stronger too. We also still had a quality team on the park that we were proud to support and feared noone in European football. Can't say anything close to that these days.

    Correct, which is why we've been stuck with thie rancid CEO/Chair/major shareholder 15 years past their sell by dates. There's always enough dumb fans out there that don't get it and continue to slavishly hand over theor money to this filth.

    If and it is a horrible If, one that obviously beyond obviously we do NOT want, but if we blow this title before our last home game, not a single fan should turn up at Celtic Park, not one. This Board are killing our beloved club and only our amazing massive fanbase can sort the biscuit tin obsessed .unts out!

    If that was the case then surely they would have strengthened to make sure we won the league as the cl money would have covered it.

    If we are using the 90s as a benchmark then it’s a race to the bottom.

    its reasonable that people want to keep their season tickets but everyone could refuse to buy merchandice and matchday stuff ,i think if there was a collective effort to blank any new kits it would show them there are consequences for their bullshit. the * dont like flares / fireworks or political messaging all of that should be ramped up ,they all will be more worried about share prices and brands that could be affected .it would be easy for them to boot out one or two people like yer man that was giving them * a couple of weeks ago not so easy if there is hundreds or thousands participating
