When a man who has served in a Tony Blair government and Dermot Desmond’s sham Celtic board has to stress he acts in good faith, the warning signs are clear.
The Celtic board have signalled their satisfaction with the current running of the club.And there is zero prospect of any change on the horizon.Their stewardship of the club this season in particular has been nothing short of disastrous.Failed transfer windows, a winning manager walking away, fan bans, fan media bans,…
And when you consider Nicholson and co would rather lose millions of pounds at the tills of the club stores than engage with us fans, you realise why a boycott is necessary.
Given that there was no announcement of Hargreaves appointment at the club it is strange that he has been given such a high profile gig.
It seems clear that when Paul Tisdale was finally found out and shown the door, the club’s entire recruitment department and strategy went with him. A frightening thought.
Faced with unprecedented levels of fan disillusionment and apathy, the board have opted instead to continue burying their heads in the sand.
With nobody left to blame, Wilson has called for the support of the fans. He does so at a time when disillusionment within the fan base is at an all time high.
Well there is one easy move Wilson could make to signal the end of the boards war on Celtic fans and boost the atmosphere massively – bring back the Green Brigade.
At any comparable football club, and most much smaller, appointing someone to such a powerful role would involve a rigorous recruitment process to scrutinise and analyse candidates in great detail. Doctor Football strolled into the key off field job at Celtic.
So with his reputation for zero tolerance, you can imagine how Hargreaves is bound to react to thousands of away fans belting out the racist anthem the Billy Boys on Saturday.
