How is ownership and control of the club going to change?
How long did the Kelly/White dynasty last? How many generations?

AD- he’s on a 1 year rolling contract, pay him up ,will be 1st of June probably, don’t see £1.2m anywhere
What pish is that? Lennon picked a fight with the media, with the government and with other clubs the other day. He was swinging punches like a drunk Milwall fan.
He was asked follow-up questions on the fights HE started. If you think that’s him putting up with anything untoward you need to take the blinkers off.
I will beat the shit out of the media when they deserve it. Any journalist who WASN’T asking him follow up questions would be derelict in their duties. These guys did their job. It would fit him better if he was doing better at his own.

What price Hibs for 2nd place?
Go tell the Spartim on
How to win over the Celtic Support
Replace NL with a capable managerial set up
Win the Scottish Cup (not that it matters)
Congratulate Triggers Broom on their first major league win
Call out referees
Call out SFA directly or via Res 12
Call out Sky / BBC / SMSM
Call out institutionalised and Scotland’s bigotry
Sell those that want to go, Christie, Ntcham, et al
Recruit from a better level of player pool
I’m certain Desmonds boy would win many plaudits for that, for me just doing the first one is a place to start

NFL asked the prick more than once to stop
SG wasnt even asked a single question when he said that Rangers had been treated unfairly for years after about week in the job
NFL defended himself and the club against the media and the gov
Forget about good PR for Celtic – did we get it before 1966 – cos thats when i was born and i dont recall any
You seem to be saying he brought it on himself – where have i heard it that before
Nobody on here is defending him as a coach, but there are plenty who will defend him as a celtic minded human being living in shytehole of a country (even when the team are as bas as they are now)

Unfortunately we have ended up with a manager who’s idea of coaching is to make bizarre substitutions on the 70 min mark after standing in the dugout for the first 69mins bellowing out instructions to ‘Soro’…..I have no idea why Soro is singled out for the man to man pitchside coaching but it was even happening in his fleeting appearances and minutes earlier in the season when he was never a starter….bizarre.

If we don hurry up and become a team there will be no business.
Dermott Desmond and the Board need to be very careful. In the past when fans became frustrated and then downright angry with a Celtic manager we saw change. Gordon Strachan, Tony Mowbray, Ronny Deila. We didn’t really have to wait all that long for it to happen. I was told earlier tonight that when Tony Mowbray was sacked after the St. Mirren defeat we were only 10 points behind.
This situation has gone on for far too long. There were a lot of calls for change after Ferencvaros. It has now become a tidal wave of discontent with the manager. Many fans are very angry, some are past angry and the first stages of apathy are beginning to manifest themselves. The biggest danger to any business is apathy. ‘I don’t care any longer, it doesn’t matter what you do or say, nothing changes.’
Many fans have already made up their minds and will not renew season tickets. COVID apart, all things being equal there will be many who will find other things to do when Celtic are playing next season. Desmond wants to show us who is boss. He better watch out or he’ll be king of an empty kingdom.

Lennon was asked legitimate questions. He was demanding that journalists not do their job. He doesn’t get to tell them what questions they can and can’t ask, especially after he’s done so much to provoke the debates he wanted shut down. His behaviour is outrageous. His sense of entitlement is astounding.
Didn’t see it due to work, text updates only. Gutted I missed it to be honest.
He should have gone months ago. Perhaps never walked back in the door. Wasn’t just the moneyed ones that put him there, many of the feet on the street wanted it as well.
Anyway, he’s gone now so we can plan for the future.
It is actually amazing how much time managers can get to turn things around when matchday tickets do not have to be sold in the coming days and weeks…..unfortunately this whole episode and performance by the Celtic Fc board could a defining moment in our modern history.A section of our support will not be supporting in the same way for some time no matter how this plays out….They [the board] are only interested in selling tickets and season tickets.They are not custodians of our club and they have not done our current manager any favours either.He was never going to get a top job after Celtic but I doubt he will get a job as a manager at any level after the way things have gone in the last two months.

Perhaps I was exaggerating about the stadium being empty, but believe me, if only 20000 buy season tickets, as far as Desmond and the Board are concerned, it might as well be empty.

THEORIGINALSADIESBHOY on 20TH JANUARY 2021 11:52 PM
I’d sooner sit beside one those 20k that sit beside the ones writing things on the official celtic twitter such as ‘can we hang him now’
This is very simple. Lennon went in front of the press on Monday and deliberately provoked them. He knew there would be fallout from his remarks. The club has not endorsed a word of it. He knew that there would be follow-ups and responses. He did this to himself.
He was asked the questions ANY manager would have been asked who did what he did. Stop trying to turn this into an anti-Celtic thing, it absolutely was not. Lennon accused the government – the GOVERNMENT – of having an agenda against us just days after the club CEO THANKED THEM … only in a completely closed mind is that not a momentous news story and worth following up.
I will lash the press when they cross the line – I did that very thing today – but not when they do their damned jobs. Which is all they tried to do tonight. Who is he that he can start a fire like this and then walk away from the consequences of it?
And the answer to your question is “yes.” They would have treated Gerrard the same way. The only difference is – and I can’t believe I’m writing this – Gerrard would not have acted so petulently and been so unprofessional as Lennon was on Monday, with scattergun lunatic ravings.
But if Gerrard has EVERYONE on this blog would have said he was ranting like a maniac and coming unglued. I would have written the articles on it laughing my ass off. I wasn’t laughing here, I assure you.
Absolutely agree that that is despicable. Anyone writing such a thing is not a Celtic supporter but as far as I’m concerned it has nothing to do with my belief that there will be a huge downturn in season ticket sales next season unless dramatic change takes place soon. Desmond holds all the aces at the moment as Ernie Lynch keeps reminding us but the power to change things lies with the Celtic support.
