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.
Celtic no longer video their Lowland League matches! No analysis is available.
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.
I think it’s wild wild decision and what it means to me is apart from the fact I think it’s a massive slap in the face to the fans, I think it’s so lacking in any sort of vision or courage, it is just lacking in backing of the manager.
Meanwhile turnover is up around £150m, the bank balance is stable around £100m while everything meaningful about a football club is in decline.
We know the work that we need to do, and it’s my responsibility to convince the club that we really need them, clearly I’m not doing that job as well as maybe what I can, but I will continue to pursue that because it’s something that’s really important for us.
