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.
He should know that the fans are givers. Nicholson, Wilson, Hargreaves and Jamieson are on a lengthy list of takers.
The Interim Accounts are for the benefit of shareholders. Merging merchandise is a distortion on previous years. Clearly the intention is to avoid highlighting the impact on Not Another Penny.
That cost relationship probably helped reassure Brian Wilson into making an appearance on The Sunday Show. A programme renowned for the fawning treatment on Anas Sarwar.
He was asked about the impact of the boycott by supporters of the Dundee match. Apparently the club has agreed to talks with different supporter groups this week. Not the Celtic Fans Collective.
Post match Premier Sports and BBC Scotland had exclusive interviews with Martin O’Neill. Neither asked his thoughts on the first half penalty incident. Neither did anyone at the all in media conference.
There has been zero planning for UEFA qualifiers next season, the route to the biggest prize fund available to the club. Another hole is blown in the strategy/business model.
The current recruitment shambles has been long in the making. What else would you expect from a regime that thought Mark Lawwell and Paul Tisdale were would class appointments?
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.
Back in the autumn it was impossible to avoid Lennon as he tore into Brendan Rodgers, sounding almost like Kris Boyd’s long lost cousin.
