    Too much dross in our squad that needs shifted.
    To have a squad our size drawing a wage, only for us to fall apart when a few first team regulars are down, is a scandal IMO.
    I hate the term "he will do for cover", if a player is good enough to draw a wage from us (not counting the youngsters who are coming through), then he should be ready to step into the first team at a moments notice. If not, what is the point ?
    No more of this scouts.

    Are members of the public allowed to attend and even ask questions? Surely not. What about the media will they be allowed to attend and grill these penny pinching *??

    Why are we buying players as an investment first of all and secondly to win the league, when it should be the other way round.

    Do they not realise that the fans are getting fed up and another league free season and there will be a huge drop on attendances, people are aware that the managers transfer targets aren't being signed. If there is so much trust in John park why don't they make him * manager.

    To be fair mate if we signed Messi and Ronaldo I could probably forgive the board for the defence over the last few seasons :56:

    General members of the public are not allowed to attend or ask any questions. Not 100% sure on the media attending but even if they allow a select number in none are allowed to ask questions either.

    I've not been to any of the club AGM's either but by all accounts the small or lone shareholders get voted down and the tricky questions are avoided like the plague.

    I wish someone attending was able to record exactly what gets said and could upload the file for all to hear.

    Firstly, he hasn't been brought in. Secondly, signing McFadden does not detract from the apathy surrounding us because of a few poor results. Thirdly, the board are not responsible for us being beat off the huns, St Johnstone and Hearts.

    Hope to * the shareholders that are actually hurting right now give them *. No more bullshit spins on the books (which seem to be more important than winning the title), and no playing down poor performances and results.

    It'll be the way it always is - one or 2 questions that are never really hard on the board - 'Will you spend in January' 'Yes we shall invest as much as possible' then Willo Flood is signed.

    don't think it can be mate. It's been getting more intense among the supporters due to these watered down answers we get from the board. I fear that if we don't act now we'll be on a huge decline that could take us back years.
    THe supporting shareholders must ask tough questions and not let Peter Lawell & co spin their usual dross about balance sheets. THey have to get them squirming and known that we are not going to take anymore lacklutre, transparant answers.

    He obviously doesn't care enough, if at all.

    Q: How does the future look for Celtic, both short-term for the remainder of this season and longer- term in terms of the next five years? A: In a football sense, I’m optimistic. I think we’re beginning to see the fruits of the investment and labour from the last three or four years. We are not giving up. The future is finding the raw talent, either by scouting or through the Academy, developing them and creating Champions League players. That’s a model we must follow. We will continue to run the club within its own means, invest every penny back into the club and try and maximise football performance through that. We have a very firm financial standing and foundation here, which is a real strength and edge in today’s environment. I’m very hopeful we will take full advantage of that.

    Roughly translates to -'no money will be spent on anyone proven, cos that'd be expensive'
