Such a shame that Lenny has to absorb ALL the blame, sure he is guilty as charged but there are 5 players I’d get rid of tomorrow because they have a lip on and chucked it. Eddie, Ntcham, Christie, Ajer and sadly Rogic. All are a disgrace to their profession.
What I cannot fathom is we know we have the power. Can the fans not organise themselves to buy a massive portion of shares and get a couple of fans to head up that consortium and take a seat on the board???
The guy who really hacks me off is Ajer, OK, he’s not a centre half and should not be put in that position, but the guy really believes he’s the next Virgil or even big Franz, Wake up son, you are and always will be a journeyman player at best.
The board too are a scandal and should have a look in the mirror seriously and ask a few questions of themselves.

I don’t think it’s fair to mention Lenny’s salary, even if it is 10’s of thousands a week.
I think the interview Lenny gave after the match might have been intended to reassure but it was so removed from what we saw on the pitch that it only added fuel to the flames.
I’m not surprised that so many of these eejits reacted the way they did although that’s no excuse .
Personally his interview angered me just as much as the team performance.
I see an Adidas banner at the Emirates is “victory through harmony”
Re the scenes outside Celtic Park, assuming we are seeing the end of a Generation of Domination, it was always going to end with a bang, no way will our supporters – high on years of unparalleled success – simply move quietly to the back of the bus, and of course if nothing changes – to quote Paul67 – it could get a whole lot worse😩

Agreed. The part where he suggested that we might need to start working on set-plays to me was a massive admission of incompetence from him and his staff in recent months.

Must be difficult to live on that right enough.
Jaw dropping scenes on Twitter. Fences being thrown at Police Vans..I honestly, naively, didn’t think Celtic “fans “would be as thuggish as this.
A real dark day today. Embarrassing to anyone who loves Celtic.
ROCK TREE BHOY on 29TH NOVEMBER 2020 7:19 PM
Perfect idea.
SCHUMMI-I wouldn’t put ntcham in that list.I honestly think that he has been like that for a few seasons now
GDT,
Never seen Lenny’s interview but the quotes seen on here make me think he was trying to kill off any talk about dressing room discontent and his disappointment in the effort from some of his “stars”, I suspect that was under instruction with the knowledge it would further damage him and his position.
He tried to be like GS, keep the criticism in the dressing room, problem is the dissenters don’t give a monkeys, they are on a promise.
SCHUMMI

I know you are quite a new poster, however, are you from planet Earth?
ROCK TREE BHOY on 29TH NOVEMBER 2020 7:18 PM
Fully agree. I think what rankles with me is an apparent lack of effort on the pitch. I’m not saying that they don’t care but I can handle limited players looking like they’re giving their all more than decent players being out-fought by far inferior players.
Had us and Sevco matched each other stride for stride and we were pipped to the post in a thrilling title-race, it would hurt but you’d have to put your hands up and know when you’re run is at an end….however, it’s this pathetic whimper in each competition that’s killing me.
Losing the 10 to a Sevco treble fills me with dread.
Glendalystonsils
What you say makes sense – and the manner of our exit from 2 tournaments in the one week is what hurts.
We needed a Dubai break least season to get on track and without a winter break this year we may have to get one by having fewer games to play than our opponents.
As for outside Celtic Park tonight, it almost beggars belief.
Mostly under 25s & some females amongst them.
All actively trying to break a police line put in place to protect Celtic Park, Celtic employees & their cars from alleged Celtic fans hellbent on who knows what if they got through.
Throwing metal fence panels at police vans..
Directing their venom for the cops who’ve clearly been asked to attend there by the Board or the CEO.
Ensuring that the headline tomorrow is all about thugs in our ranks…
Respectable descriptions of these people eludes me at this time.
Notthebus,
Do you think they are all Celtic fans?
Serious question
It’s not Celtic fans throwing the fences, it’s err…..Chelsea fans.
Robbed from elsewhere, I don’t agree with it all, but in the main it sums up things in a nutshell for me.
Lawwell ain’t done that good has he.
………………………………………….
1,654 days ago Celtic appointed Brendan Rodgers.
The share price was £74, almost exactly where it was when Lawwell arrived 12 years earlier. That was 12 years of zero shareholder returns in an era that football revenues exploded.
The year before Rodgers arrival Celtic had to put tarpaulin over a portion of the stadium as they couldn’t sell out the stadium.
We floundered under an unknown Scandinavian manager winning only 3 of the six trophies and failing to do anything of note in Europe.
The CEO was cut out if the recruitment process as the club took a massive step forward in terms of modern football managers.
The stadium was filled with 15,000 fans to recognise this great leap forward by the club, joyous scenes.
We went on to win the next 11 domestic trophies on the back of the platform laid down by Rodgers.
We qualified twice in a row for CL.
The stadium sold out and turnover went over £100m
The share price went up 120% in 18 months to £165
Rodgers decided to leave Celtic.
Instead of continuing this obviously successful strategy on all fronts the CEO regained control, after appointing the stand in manager in a fit of excitement in the shower room after a cup final win turning his back on a modern strategy.
18 months later before we enter December we are out of two European competitions, out the league cup and falling behind in the league with so signs of any way out of one of the the worst 10 game run in our history
The club looks rudderless and the stadium has just had fans protesting in the middle of a pandemic such is the frustration level.
The share price has lost 75% of the gains it made in 2016-18. It would not be surprising if it returned to £75 by the end of the season.
This means in an almost 20 year stewardship there will have been no shareholder value created.
The only time the shareholder value increased was when the CEO was removed from the strategy.
GeeBee,
Here, when I read that, I thought he was being sarcastic, and I’m still sure he was.
I think that was a dig at the players.

FU
so do you agree with the the preying hordes the right to chant their vile abusive chants towards Lenny tonight.
Do you know why STAN PETROV left CELTIC.
Did you see his face when he went up to collect his winners medal.
Well when you find out come back on and condemn the protesters.
Suspect there will be still be a match commander at the match even without fans if not the call would be from head of Celtic security.
CANAMALAR IT LOOKS LIKE OCD OBSESSION
What other fans would they be?
TET,
I agree with it all
THE EXILED TIM
I’m sure DD’s Preferential Shares have collected a suitable dividend evry single year.
He is the problem, not the solution.
Hope you and yours are good!
I expect Neil is negotiating his payoff.
And why souldn’t he?
I’m only hitting the refresh button to see if anyone’s been mutually consented
Ever the optimist CSC
Canman
The bit I didn’t agree with was the CEO being taken out of the recruiting process, after re reading it, it meant the managers recruitment, so I also agree with it all.
HH
Anyway, totally pissed off and don’t fancy a fry up.
Away tae ma beed!
I wasn’t suggesting that the manager should walk away without a pay off……
PB
We are fine thanks, same to you.
DD won’t be going anywhere soon, either will his poodle

JACKIEMAC-it’s a shambles

Theoriginalsadiesbhoy,
The all seeing all knowing canamalar predicted Lenny would be treated exactly like BR and the same clamour for blood would be the result. The only difference is those who thought there was any alternative on offer are now giving it the I told you so dance without knowing the steps.
This was never going to end up any other way regardless of how much Lenny could achieve, he needed to be undermined in the same way BR was undermined to ensure Scottish football became “competitive” Kennedy is now the the man in the frame to ensure competition keeps the suckers distracted from the Plc business plan.
I don’t expect you to see any further than your gloating “I told you so” position that’s exactly what’s expected from you, how we got here appears to be beyond your reasoning, else your a plant to try and keep things dumb.
………………….
I’m certainly not saying I told you so. I’ve been saying it since Cluj regularly. It was always going to happen because we appointed a manager whose methods are out of date. He was condemned out of his own mouth. He didn’t think things like tactics and team shape and formations were all that important. He left that to others. Anyway I have no intention of chewing the fat with you over this. My original point is that tonight you came on the blog to have a go at Celtic supporters. Not many of the posters on here who didn’t want Neil Lennon as manager have come on here to have a go at Neil’s many supporters. That’s primarily the difference between us. I don’t have a go at the pro Neil Lennon fans. I have a go at Neil Lennon himself for his shortcomings. You have a go at people like me, Celtic supporters, for not bowing down and worshipping our manager.
Players have seen moves away rejected. They’ve seen exposure in the champions league disappear due to crap tactics. They have seen the laughing stock of Europa pile on with even more dumb decisions. They’ve been thrown under the bus several times. They have a regime to learn their trade that is a massive drop from what they’ve known and where they’ve been. The play in a team with no system, making it up as they go along and they frankly hate their football.
They are unhappy. Ever been in an unhappy, toxic workplace where you are the brunt of the org’s ills?
Utter failure of leadership with Lenny, his coaches and above him.
These things just ‘are’. They don’t make people evil but we are a dysfuncrtional team and have been for a while until it has now imploded.
I hope we can learn from it as this experiment is dead in the water.
HH
The galling this is, Brendan Rodgers costs Celtic nothing….the club probably made a direct profit form Leicester for his entire tenure
Canamalar
“Paranoia is why every human being exists today, ”
I think there is a bit more to it than that myself.
“who said it was a bad thing ?”
It is not in and of itself a bad thing, but it does tend to stifle objective thinking. All in my humble opinion of course.
I just don’t see the “Kennedy as interim manager” notion having much in the way of mileage. But what do I know? Maybe you have the inside track?
Notthebut,
Maybe not even football fans, Britain has an excellent record on agent provocateur activities, managed to keep the working class divided and condemning each other for hundreds of years.
Martim1980
You’re probably correct that Head of Security would make the call, but I suspect that the CEO would at the very least have been consulted.
The optics of the confrontations will do more to harm the reputation of Celtic FC than the result.
Wretched stuff all round.
