Despite Nicholson’s best efforts to demonise the Green Brigade with stadium bans, suspended bans, a complete security lockdown on the north curve area – most of our fans want to support the team just like they do in the North Curve.
On the back of the creation of the Celtic Fans Collective there has been a strange but notable reaction online.Previously they kept their comments to certain Facebook groups and Celtic Quick News, suddenly the pro-board fans are out about spreading and sharing how much they detest Brendan Rodgers.The manager that…
My view on that is, you think further down the line, there may be high-profile managers who would look at the treatment of Rogers and how vicious that attack was on Brendan Rodgers, and think twice about maybe coming to Celtic and their reputations being damaged if there’s a fallout.
Kennedy is given the same ‘respect’ as Adam Sadler, Jack Lyons and Glen Driscoll. All four have left the club, no reasons are given, no gushing comments. Not a peep from Michael Nicholson, Peter Lawwell.
Michael Nicholson’s complete absence from the most dramatic night for the club in many a year merely confirms what we all knew. He is no leader. He won’t or can’t make decisions. He does drain a near £1m package in salary and bonus out of Celtic.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Dermot Desmond is not the owner of Celtic. He’s not the chairman, not the CEO, and not an elected voice of the support. He’s an unelected, unaccountable figure who’s somehow decided that Celtic exists to serve his ego.
Rodgers is guilty of the occasion tall tale about Danny McGrain or the Clyde Tunnel but this was taking things way too far. The final say over all football matters? Seriously.
Failure born from a decade of short-termism, underinvestment, and a boardroom that treats football as an inconvenience to its balance sheet. This is Celtic.
Chris Sutton presented the sensible balanced case. In the studio Lennon and Boyd were like a tag team with one idea being shared. Operation demonise Brendan!
The temper of the Chairman is bound to be tested. If he can’t be bothered attending matches he isn’t going to enjoy hearing Nicholson grilled about downsizing from fans/shareholders.
