   A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. “My dog’s cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?” “Well,” says the vet, “Let’s have a look at him.” So he picks up the dog and has a good look at his eyes. “I’m going to have to put him down,” says the vet. “What? Because he’s cross-eyed?” “No,” replies the vet, “because he’s bloody heavy.”

   A faction of the support may or may not be replaced by other factions.

    

    

   Day trippers or useful idiots don’t replace the season ticket base, vast numbers of whom haven’t even been going to home games this season.

    

    

   Overall, I still reckon season tickets sales will continue the downward spiral they’re on, and no amount of lies about improvements can change that.

    

    

   It’s damage limitation we’re waiting for now before the letters come out.

    

    

   Recruitment is where we’ve failed, from the very top down.

   Tony Mowbray’s departure was long in the planning if not the execution, with his replacement waiting in the wings.

    

    

   Not so with RD. The fact that so many of the backroom staff are his appointees suggests the intention was for him to remain in post for the foreseeable future.

    Worst thing about yesterday’s result is it will probably have scuppered Lawwell’s chances of the Sunderland job…

    BSR,

     

    The useful idiots are already in place, they will never hold the board responsible for any failure, the old firm supporters will be expected to take up the slack.

     

    I expect the principled to be in the thousands not tens of thousands, so if there is any reduction in numbers it will be small and that will be publicly declared as expected due to the continuing recession. I suspect the board are depending on this.

    I would just like to apologise today for the atrocious language I used on the blog yesterday.

     

     

    I’m hurting & I will continue to hurt for as long as the above are connected to our club.

     

     

    Pitiful times ahead.

    Although it doesn’t feel like it, yesterday’s reverse may be a blessing in disguise. It may, over the summer, bring about some of the changes that a lot of supporters have called for. Season Ticket money will be due soon. Those who want change now find themselves in a position of strength. Thousands of fans are feeling aggrieved this morning after yesterday’s capitulation against a club with far fewer resources than we have. That means that there are thousands of Celtic fans at the moment who will feel that the last thing they want to do at the moment is part with hundreds of £££s for a season ticket. By withholding their money they have a chance of scaring and forcing the powers-that-be at Celtic into making some or all of the changes that many have been demanding.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What are these changes that many have been demanding. According to posts on CQN this season, I would say that the most frequent demands for change are:-

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    * a new manager

     

     

     

     

     

    * the sacking of Peter Lawell

     

     

     

     

     

    * backing a new manager properly by providing the resources he needs to compete effectively at home and in Europe

     

     

     

     

     

    * the Club’s approach to Resolution 12 and towards the SFA/SPFL

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    If thousands of fans ignore the season book renewal form and hold on to their money, the Board will start to panic. Once deadline for renewal day passes the alarm bells will really sound. The Board will then have to actually do something to reverse the situation. They’ll have to actually try to find out what is ailing us. What do we, the fans want? I would suggest that will be the time to demand action on the points above and to keep your money in your pocket until you get it. I won’t be rushing to renew my ticket.

     

    ============

     

    In terms of changing not just the personnel but more importantly the thinking that has created the current level of disconnect there has never been a better opportunity than now.

     

     

    However fixing a problem means identifying the causes and then addressing them.

     

     

    The thing is football has moved on since the days when supporters were an incoherent mass of at best scattered islands of independent unity sharing their own view of the solution with The Board as most powerful island.

     

     

    Fragmented thinking produces fragmented results. The power of unity can make a club or a team punch above its weight – see yesterday.

     

     

    Quick fixes, as in get in a new manager in the hope that he will be good enough to put a team on the park, so that all other issues affecting the well being of Celtic get buried alive is the normal football approach. Well it has been but supporters are no longer an unthinking inarticulate mass to be fooled by quick fixery.

     

     

    Everybody who supports Celtic, from the very top down starting with DD down through the Board then through the Associations and The Trust to individuals, need to look at their part in bringing us to where we are.

     

     

    A bit of honest introspection to identify the issues and causes is needed first then when they have been identified and agreed can relevant solutions be found.

     

     

    A house divided against itself cannot stand and today we find ourselves more divided than ever.

     

     

    We can continue to fragment and lose support or take a long hard look at why we are where we are and that takes leadership.

     

     

    We might need a new manager (after the 0 0 draw at Dens I’d given up on RD) we might need a new CEO, but more than anything we need LEADERSHIP that can bring an end to the fragmentation and it’s causes. If it’s not already there then bring in someone respected enough across the support spectrum who has those qualities.

     

     

    A holistic solution is required but this one ran into the ground because no one wanted to give up what they thought they had, from top down.

    Time to rethink.
