No one thought through the consequences of undermining Rodgers. Nicholson thought that it would only impact on European performances. It hasn’t. Under pressure Celtic have buckled domestically.
Wyness quickly saw through Tisdale. A wide boy dressed up in fancy clothing with delusions on a par with Micky Beale.
O’Neill may have provided a much needed win but nothing will take attention away from the failings of Nicholson and Wilson.
Faced with unprecedented levels of fan disillusionment and apathy, the board have opted instead to continue burying their heads in the sand.
At the aborted 2025 Celtic AGM shareholders were ‘treated’ to pre-recorded interviews from Nicholson and Lawwell. In a clearly agreed ploy both admitted that mistakes had been made during the summer transfer window.
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.
But there was an announcement that Celtic were ready to make. Sadly a predictable and depressing subject. Further punishment for the Green Brigade, indefinitely.
The Parkhead board might not want to listen to supporters, journalists or pundits or whatever but they would be daft not to listen to one of the greatest managers in the club’s history.
What I do know is that Celtic, a Celtic united would be a far, far better club than one disunited. That’s obvious for anyone.
In the next couple of years, Celtic will come again in European football. They might just have to step back for a while at this minute, but recruitment is really important.
