Celtic’s Annual General Meeting, held at Celtic Park today, was a livelier event than usual. The board received a hostile response to their refusal to back a resolution to provide all staff with at least the Living Wage. Several impassioned points were made from the floor, which convinced chairman, Ian Bankier, to dispense with his prepared response and provide answers to specific questions.
The vote went against the resolution based on the proxy votes cast by the chairman but the board have never lost the floor so convincingly on any prior issue.
Resolution 12, encouraging the club to purse the game’s authorities on matters relating to the governance of liquidated Rangers was adjourned indefinitely by the requisitioners. On proposing the adjournment, a spokesman for the requisitioners (our own Morrissey23) explained that they had met the club and received information not previously known, and that further meetings were planned.
Fergus McCann made an unexpected contribution to the AGM by email through the chairman, extoling the virtues of financial director, Eric Riley, who he commended for 19 years’ service in pursuing Celtic’s interests. Fergus asked for, and got, an applause for Eric Riley, which resulted in the first unanimous show of hands to re-elect a director I have seen at a Celtic AGM.
AGM questions can be a tortuous affair but they were on the money this year. We had poetry, questions about financial governance including a question as to whether the club owns all of it’s perceived property assets. Ian Bankier confirmed it did, before planting his tongue in his cheek to insist “I’m not going to show you the deeds”.
When one shareholder expressed frustration that a new Scottish club is pretending to be a now liquidated club, chief executive, Peter Lawwell, retorted, “Rory Bremner can pretend to be Tony Blair”.
Many thanks for the many CQN Annual orders, which are now shipping. You can order here:

I’m affaid to say You are 100% Correct Re; Resoloution..
Summa
Auldheid I will take your word for it – I hope we get the outcome we want.
Bournes I do hope a furore results from PL’s comments – there was a call at the start of SSB which was excellent and called them out on the great big lie – at one point the caller likened the position with the saying that if you bought the rights to beatle songs you would be the beatles and would have always been the beatles – the panel desparately tried to restrict the discussion to saying celtic shouldnt get involved.
Bring it on – lets expose the big lie.

Can’t see PL being accused by sevco of bringing the game into disrepute, can you ??……hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Summa – I hope I am wrong and the guys discussing it with them are a top team – so there is hope there!
.
I think is is time for Peter Lawwell to Go..
Auldheid
Of course, I appreciate that.
Not sure that Morrissey or the others will want to add to much though given there may be some sensitive information, or perhaps even that they’ll be breaching confidence if they say too much too soon. I’ll await their input but won’t be jumping to any conclusions or chucking the toys out the pram if the information is a little sparse for now.
Someone mentioned that the postponement of Resolution 12 was a ‘Michael Collins moment’ Quite apt actually. Any duplicitous positioning during the planned discussions or failure to fully disclosure to all what was discussed could indeed lead to a Celtic civil war.
But just who is the De Valera figure, in all this? Indeed who is the Big fella, who is Arthur Griffiths,PL is quite obviously Lloyd George but who is Churchill? I baggsy ‘Cathal Brugha’ for meself.
BFDJ saying we should ask UEFA lol
If it’s the same club then they should do the decent thing and contact creditors :))
Guy called Fraser absolutely ripping them all a new one on SSB……brilliant!!!

Keevins…..”we live in a volatile City” …….. He promotes it….horrible wee blob
NegAnon
Agree, – Clyde it’s tabloid radio they’ll jump on it, and knock Celtic unlike the resolution which they finder harder to understand.
BBC and MSM ‘highbrows’ might not touch it, because it is the incontestable truth, that they
are not the same club.
Along the lines of ;
“We know, They know, We know they know.
They know we know they know.”
Back in to make a wee point afore ah ‘really’ go Off oot….
there’s a guy on the radio right now – Hugh Keevins
and, again….IMO – he and his family are bigger and
more committed Cellic fans than the current ‘bored’
will EVER be. So there.
Away tae watch – Michael Collins
then – A Prayer for The Dying.
Really Off oot noo – Hail Hail
Bournesoup……looks like a Darryl Murphy.
Do you go commando underneath?

On the De Valera reference.
Was he not once referred to as ‘The cute Hoor’. Just who might that description fit?
BSR, thanks for that.
I read the reviews and assume that you were the guy who confirmed that it’s also suitable when horse riding ;-)

Can anyone tell me if the young Radical of yesteryear Brian wilson made any contribution to the debate on Resolution 11?
Paul67 et al
Congratulations to big Fraser! From Newcastle back-up to England goalkeeper tonight as a Celtic player all in 2-3 seasons. Hope he does well, hope he makes it to Brazil next summer, from Celtic Park.
Good luck to Iceland too, just think our new young Icelandic Bhoy could also be heading to Brazil if results go their way against Croatia!
Good luck to Scotland against the Yanks. Wouldn’t mind seeing us play Ireland at Celtic Park next April-May. Strachan-McGhee versus O’Neil-Keane? There are more than a few Celtic Connections there!
Good luck to big Sammy and Greece!
Winning Captains,
Hope Gourock is one of your Glasgow area times xxx or a there is a seriously disappointed bhoy in my wee village.
BFDJ, just heard him on radio when driving home there. He would love to see Portugal v Sweden tonight, so he can see Ronaldo v Ivanisivic. What a tube, somebody let him know Ronaldo is a footballer & Ivanisivic is/was a tennis player. BFDJ ya Diddy.
Wee shug is aufy upset
Wonder why Keevins isn’t allowed into CP?
Naw. Me as well
ryecatcher
People think I’m on the playing staff when I arrive at CP, and if you can impress the Gazebo bhoys – you’re a made man.
Jobo
That was me and my bandy legs.

Living wage was a good platform , I wS into it and up for it, BUT it got to Personal , and Union , and finger pointing, shame really, lost the plot when they started going on a tanget about unions? Politics, and what ever, now radio Clyde are saying , Celtic are our of order, did Celtic not pay there taxes? Hugh Keevens, needs his job, like the rest, Celtic s AGM, is a bout being vilagent.
Was it just me but has Keevins not dropped a clanger ? The Sevco manager has been interviewed at Govan Police station regarding the Sevco shambles ! Ssssshhhhhh it will all go away !!!!
Rory Bremner csc eat yer heart out !!!!
Oglach –
I love The Rutles almost as much as I love The Beatles. A living legned. A legned that will last a lunchtime.
