Can only hope the reason for no announcement is that they are sorting someone to take the team on Saturday.

Fair question.
I think we need a patient, realistic strategy to change the structure and culture of the executive.
Central to that is active, intelligent fan ownership of a large chunk of Celtic, that intelligently and formally holds the executive to account
That one simplistic statement?
5 years work, IMHO.
What does that 5 years work look like?
Resolution 16
This resolution calls for the Celtic board to create and publish a detailed strategic plan for the next three to five years, covering football, financial, and strategic aspects
First, confirm who the brains trust are.
Think of the Celtic Board as the Cabinet.
Define a Shadow Cabinet
Get the rebels to sign up to the shadow cabinet then tell them to put their tangerines away.
Then put the shadow cabinet to work
(BTW – they’ll need paid)
Second, that shadow cabinet don’t ask the board for their Resolution 16 style strategic plan.
There was an opportunity to get the board to either say “Nah” or come up with a plan (either good or bad).
That opportunity is gone.
A small group of noisy guys blew it !
Anger over brains.
The Shadow Cabinet come up with their own strategy (a proper, professional, polished document) and socialise it broadly.
Put the board on the back foot just like every effective opposition does to every government every two weeks for five years.
The opposition have a much easier gig – they don’t even need to own the outcome.
They just need to provide an alternative that passes the sniff test.
Important : That strategy to include a new share issue plus plans for refreshing share ownership every 10 years. (See below)
Then, work the existing small shareholding …
… and work it
… and work it
… and work it
Hard yards, day in, day out for YEARS.
Done out of sight, with little thanks for bringing crumbs.
Gather enough crumbs though?
You get a loaf
2% becomes 3, 5, 8, 13 then 21%
Next, buy shares.
Don’t buy a lot.
Buy a little, a lot … over 5 years.
After 5 (potentially VERY PAINFUL) years?
You’ll have your strategy, your people and your formal mandate.
He did a post match to present Nygren with man of the match at Livi
That would make me sick as well.

It will take the press man of Trump to make anything positive out of the last 6 months, a total self inflicted disaster created by unsuitable people in senior roles.

You should all apologise Japanese style with bowed head, and present your resignations tonight. This is not my club. This is not Glasgow Celtic.
Quite a post from Roger Mitchell. Appreciate its one mans opinion

Taking us from our Munich performance to making Motherwell look like Pep’s Barca takes some untalent. A hearty congrats to the Enron guys in the boardroom. Quite the unachievement.
They are the best jersey shrinkers we’ve had run our club, world class at getting Bangura for our buck.
And Paul Tisdale ffs. We starting to resemble the standard of teams he spent his career at. World Class, deary feeking me.
P67 apologises. He’s running a bit late today but he asked me to put out his state of the club piece in his stead…
Dear friends in Celtic, the state of the club, 31 December 2025.
I’ll keep it short because I’ve got to be at Peter’s mansion for his Hogmanay/ retirement shindig and there’s only so much space on the heated driveway on this frosty day…
Let me start with the good news. St Aloysius have once again preserved their fees at inflation rates, so there’s that.
The club has again contributed generously to His Majesty’s government coffers and been rewarded with a couple of gongs for Fergus and Jim. Let’s hope it doesn’t stop there. Sir Peter really does have a pleasant ring to it.
Dermot was really worried about that ‘great club The Rangers’ enduring its worst start in its histories but with the appointment of Wilfried he’s delighted to see our old friends and rivals right on our tails again, as it should be.
Paul Tisdale took some time out from scouring the aisles of River Island to show that he’s the Top Man (geddit?) for spotting talent in global transfer markets. How else to explain us stiffing the competition to secure the signings of Tounetki, Balikwisha, Shin, Knee and Arse (wee joke there)? His southern sensibilities are also proving very popular with the gruff Glaswegians in our support. Terrific stuff.
Financially we’re in great shape, approaching E100m in the bank, with more to follow when we sell on Maeda and Hatate next week. We’ll also save a fortune on those air fares backwards and forwards to Japan.
Speaking of 100, Tony Ralston has now reached that landmark in Celtic appearances. And not just this season, although it might feel like that to some.
Our new manager has,adapted brilliantly to his new environment of Scottish soccerball and proving a great hit with the fans with his swashbuckling, Stars and Stripes brand of attacking play. No truth in the rumours that the club is lobbying to change the format of matches to quarters and to include time outs to sell more merch… but watch this space. As Europe’s best run club we are always looking to lead the way on innovation.
So many positives but there has been a couple of clouds in our otherwise gloriously (royal?) blue sky this year.
Firstly can I just take this opportunity to acknowledge what a rotten egg Brendan Rodgers was? Sewing discord and refusing invitations to my friend Peter’s shindigs to celebrate the annual accounts. Good riddance.
Also, a word for the fans. Just pay up, shut up and get back to your housing schemes as quickly as the corporation buses will carry you.
So all in all we’re in a great place going into 2026. The reduction in season book renewals will mean more space for the rest of us, Wilfried and his assistant manager from Exeter City under 19s are very cheap and bring the promise of plenty of goals to entertain the few of us that will be there. Tony looks forward to stepping up to captain the team after CalMac departs for Saudi and we’ll build the team around Tounetki and Balikwisha in between international football tournaments.
It would be churlish not to congratulate in advance Hearts on their first league title since Moses was a boy and to our friends at Ibrox, Easter Road and Fir Park for finishing above us. At least I expect us to pip those terriers from Tannadice.
So all that’s,left to say is happy new year to all (except Brendan Rodgers and the Green Brigade) and let’s make 2026 the richest yet for the Celtic plc!
