Nicholson is paid a pretty penny to be the man at the helm, to do the part that Desmond doesn’t fancy, but he is clearly no leader. And that lack of leadership can be seen all across the club, especially on the pitch.
An opportunity was missed when the actions of the fans attracted global media attention and the club could have stood up proudly and reflected the fans principled stance.
It is worth reminding the CEO that both his salary and those of Police Scotland are paid for by those Celtic fans who were kettled that day. They want answers.
All they did on Monday, faced with representatives of the majority of all Celtic fans, was repeat the same tired old drivel – we’ve done nothing wrong, the club is on the right cour
I would guess the club’s attitude to Mondays meeting will be along the lines of ‘How little do we need to do here to get this mob buying Europa League Tickets and Larsson watches again?’
That HMRC payment equates to roughly £230 from every season ticket sold and yet while sitting on those huge profits, the club chose to raise season ticket prices again in the summer.
Until we have proper leadership at Celtic that reflects the views of the fans then we had better be prepared for Police Scotland doing the exact same thing again.
In a strongly worded rebuttal of this barefaced attempt at divide and conquer, the Celtic Fans Collective said “Supporters demand change – until it comes, business as usual is not an option.”
If the CEO and CFO can’t handle what the fans had for them on Sunday, just wait till the Celtic Fans Collective really gets going.
And just in case anyone thought the rumoured sacrificial lamb would satisfy supporters, the Celtic Fans Collective have produced the perfect response in their overarching aim.
