Rallying call to supporters from the manager

1060

Neil Lennon’s interview with the official site was the second resounding State of the Club address from Celtic within a week.  The manager said:

”Clearly, in terms of where Rangers do play, that is now a matter for others to decide upon, it is something we have no control or influence over.

“We must now move on, and move on with a collective unity between the supporters and the club and the team.

“We need to stand strong, shoulder to shoulder and all work together to continue to move the club in the right direction.

“We want as many fans as possible to come back to the club and take their seat at Celtic Park and invest in the club as much as possible.

“We are now looking forward and not back, we have a vibrant young team, I want to progress this team as far as I can but we cannot do this without the fans’ support.

“There will be no slacking off or complacency, we have a lot to look forward to and that´s what we are preparing for, but I need to be very clear, we need our fans with us every step of the way.

“We cannot let outside negative influences dictate the mood at Celtic, we are very optimistic and we are very much looking forward to the season but we need our fans right with us”.

“It´s imperative we make inroads in Europe again this year and it would be nice to get through the qualifiers and into the Champions League group stages, but I´m under no illusion how difficult that´s going to be

“Everyone wants to play at the big table and that´s our whole focus. We go into this as champions and that is a fantastic feeling, so hopefully that will give the players an extra spring in their step.

“If we qualify then you never know where it will take us.”

I hear season ticket sales are up on the corresponding period last season but the message from Neil is clear, with the driver for high-value corporate ticket sales missing, Celtic are more dependent on ordinary supporters buying tickets than ever before.

This is your tax-and-supplier-paying-champions-today-and-next-season-Celtic.  You wouldn’t rather it any other way so get along and enjoy it.

    Sabre67- if I was to give credit terms to a new business who were a Phoenix company and used the dubious financial accounts of the liquidated company as justification, I would be picking up my P45 in the morning.

     

     

    Unbelievable stuff from the SFA if this is true. Quite stunning.

     

     

    Greetings from a very hot Costa Blanca.

    My very dry eye is focussed firmly on the cross hair. Trigger finger also relaxed. Position. Optimal.

     

     

    Who are you anyway?

    I think a certain person made a statement saying he would vote no to cheats spawn in Div 1 .

     

    looks like someone didn’t get his turn on the goat at the last meeting

  4. No sausages tonight Bhoys by the looks of things…

     

     

    James Forrest leads the huddle as the captain and the game kicks off. Live updates to follow…

  5. Awe Naw,

     

     

    Actually that’s a good question. I find the whole thing bloody depressing. Like many of us (most??), I can several Celtic supporters’ points of view on this, but agree it is foolish to pledge support blindly to the club. In this situation, we mibbes need to give them (Celtic PLC) a chance…a bit of trust. If that trust should prove to be misplaced…..

     

     

    But was goin to ask, I thought you were praising the Celtic Board the other week after someone shared a document with you? Or did I get wrong end of stick?? ( Was skim reading at the time trying to catch up).

  6. Celtic Starting 11 : Forster, Wilson, Mulgrew, F Twardzik, Kayal, Ledley, McGeouch, Forrest, Gascoigne, Stokes, Hooper.

     

    Subs: Zaluska, Murphy, Toshney, Watt, McCourt

    Hey virtual boy remember when you went on your honeymoon. Thought was getting piece for a few weeks but no you were on CQN more than your poor wife. Sad no-mark any time for that drink.

    I have already loosened the purse strings but the more I hear the more I dislike and unfortunately the more Celtic confirm my worst suspicions

     

     

    My document is an interesting one. I need to find a digital signature of Petrie. Even if it is confirmed I am unsure what to do with it as I could get a good friend into a lot of trouble.

    You’d think Matt McGlone @MattMcGlone9 wouldn’t be retweeting such things. Him being a responsible former employee of Celtic ‘n’all.

    I can’t believe I’m watching a game on Twitter reminds me of the old Ceefax days..

    Pop ma heid roon the door to say.

     

    Wheres the fun in playing in a rigged league….dont see the point myself.

     

    Hungate is ready to explode…Masonic Handshaking Frenzy, Masons investigating Masons, subversion of SFA/SPLSFL rules by paid officials, aided by Masonic Journalists allegedly.

     

    Whats next….The Fourth Reich.

     

    What a carry on.

     

    Hail Hail

  13. Awe Naw,

     

     

    No worries. It’s a whole seedy mess that the huns and masons have created. That’s why you and a few others are rightly concerned that our Club can confirm it maintained its integrity throughout this whole thing. I did see somewhere that Petrie was doing the upset of what he publicly stated.

  14. up_over_goal on

    Forrest on right, Mcgeouch behind the strikers.

     

     

    Good. No way is James a number10.

  15. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    Upset …. Never a truer word said in gest.

     

     

    SFL 3 is the huns last chance saloon even though they have been given assurances if BBC Scotland and ITV are to be believed. Yeah I know lying bassas the pair of them.

     

     

    Next Glasgow Fair Monday they will be wound up.

     

     

    Less of the poor mouthing and more assertions that this mess that we helped to preside is even recognized will be a good start.
