The finger of suspicion is pointed at all of the Celtic directors.
Last Saturday The Sun published allegations about Brendan Rodgers that they were given from someone close to senior figures at the club.
It wasn’t James Forrest or Callum McGregor.
That narrows the suspects list down to Michael Nicholson, Chris McKay, Peter Lawwell, Brian Wilson, Tom Allison, Dermot Desmond, Sharon Brown and Brian Rose.
Never in a million years would Desmond be passing instructions on to a friend of Roger Hannah.
The Non-Executive Directors really should be all over this sort of issue- a senior club figure trying to destabilise the first team manager with allegations shared to a national newspaper.
GIVE BRENDAN A BELL
As Rodgers said in Friday’s media conference he is at Lennoxtown most of the day, he has his phone switched on, alternatively the unhappy senior figure could drop in on his home for an exchange of opinions.
Rodgers isn’t hiding but it seems that Hannah’s pal is keeping a very low profile while throwing their boardroom colleagues into the spotlight by not putting a hand up to claim responsibility.
In that case the other directors could come forward and deny that they provided The Sun with the story that has shown Celtic up as a club divided.
Isolate the coward.
THE IN-HOUSE COWARD
Someone senior wants to blacken Rodgers’ name but that same person doesn’t have the courage to share their concerns with the other directors or the manager.
If Rodgers is undermining every aspect of how the club is being run he should be sacked. If the rest of the board disagree the person running to The Sun should put their name to the complaints or resign.
However when you have Nicholson providing leadership with his decision making skills you clearly have problems.
Nicholson and McKay are apparently great guys, that doesn’t mean that they are competent at their jobs but Rodgers works with them on a daily basis. He doesn’t suspect them of running to The Sun.
THE ROLL CALL OF NEDS
Allison and Wilson have been NEDs for a combined 45 years- surely they can speak out and distance themselves from the story in The Sun.
Brown has been a NED for nine years, Rose for two. If they are doing their job they drive this issue or speak out to confirm that they haven’t been briefing The Sun.
Chairman Peter Lawwell has built up plenty of media contacts over the last 20 years- he seems the ideal person to nail down who has been trying to undermine the manager, the club, the team.
Go for it Mr Chairman, redeem yourself, or something like that.

We all know who the Judas is and he (or she) is a coward. However, all the others are complicit by neglect.

Pan… We know who the judas is…. He or she.. Surely you can narrow that down to male or female if… Eh you know who it is.. But yet get them outed if Brendan is being undermined and obstacles put in his way as well end of day my opinion
40 mill gamble and lost
Key word… Clarity
Let the fans know why we failed in transfer..
What is the money sitting there for?
Transfers
Compensation
Infrastructure.
Clarity will appease everyone, might not agree but better than silence

Like the first person.these stupid protests don’t make any difference to this arrogant board.Hit them in their pockets and boycott the shops until they have the manners to reply to the fans properly Ie.an apology would be a start .go on Celtic TV as a group..
Become normal and treat the fans with the respect they deserve and apologise also to the manager and sack the mole who went to the daily rag which the fans don’t buy.
Their attitude is only appreciated by Kris Boyd and that guy’s comments are usually in the gutter where they should remain

I’m disappointed I have supported this team all my life travelling all over Europe with them now in my opinion Celtic does not have a team .
I went to the AMRATY game and watched a team that if all their players put together and there stadium were valued they wouldn’t be valued at more than our striker yet over 180 minutes Brendon Rodgers could not come up with an answer on how to get past a pub team so all any team needs to do against Celtic is put 10 men behind the ball and Rodgers will drop his head before the so called team will I’m dreading the European games.

Going to the sun ,of all rags,in an attempt to undermine a celtic manager,and expecting everything to be just peachy after it,shows how deluded this coward is.This ain’t going away any time soon.Board may lob him under the bus in coming weeks.Wouldnt be the shock of the century if they did.

Why not buy the Celtic tops from Rose Jerseys, that’ll hit the board so hard and the quality of the shirts are amazing. Top Quality.
