The players that watched Kyogo and Kuhn get sold realised that they could be next, that they were more valued on the Balance Sheet than on the team sheet, that Nicholson would rather sell players than build a team.
After the late, late show of summer 2024 it seems that Nicholson is wanting to repeat that white knuckle ride with the added jeopardy of Celtic being involved in a Champions League Play Off.
Celtic under the ‘leading sports lawyer’ appear very much like they did under the former Clydeport bean-counter. Dull, tired, preductable and totally devoid of ambition.
I think that we need to improve the squad. There’s clarity around that for a long time and we see that, you know, I think supporters see that. We certainly do in football. We need to improve.
There’s obviously negativity around Arne and some of these guys, but for a manager, we’ve put a really good player in, we took a really good player out. And then I can change it and it’s great for the squad. So his attitude is great.
If they are being undermined they should highlight the problems or resign, if there is any truth in the claims that decision making rests on one NED the other Non Executive Directors are failing massively in their obligations.
Rodgers tentatively discussed ambitions and aspirations, Michael Nicholson opted to consolidate the Bank Balance further while the goals of Kuhn and Kyogo were removed from the managers options.
Every area of the club is occupied by former players that haven’t achieved anything elsewhere, relatives of former managers or directors and associated hangers-on that wouldn’t get near an equivalent job elsewhere.
