Before he arrived at West Ham as a 22-year-old in the summer of 2019, Albian Ajeti had a steady progression from promising youth at St Gallen to scoring in the Champions League for Basel and leading the line for Switzerland in European Championship qualification. 31 goals from 52 league appearances across his final two seasons in Switzerland is the form that attracts EPL clubs.
We have seen better players than Albian suffer at the wrong club, so there’s every reason to believe West Ham fans have no idea what his genuine talents are (I felt a bit the same about Ismailia Soro until recently), but damage has been done to his repute, as well as his sharpness.
If you wanted to go somewhere in the summer of 2020 to repair your confidence and to enjoy your football again, Celtic Park did not turn out to be a wise choice. Celtic quickly descended into crisis where even idolised Odsonne Edouard found form from previous seasons illusive.
With Odsonne in the final 18 months of his contract and zero chance of him extending, one of the tasks for the remainder of the season should be to repair what’s necessary for Albian and return him to his peak for the summer.
It has been decades since we have had as many games ahead without a genuine chance of winning the league. These games now have a different purpose with preparing the squad for next season a top requirement. Albian should play as many games as possible.

Drew1967,
Imo, it is not just the Mibs that are biased. It’s the endemic racism in Scotland, which Scotland refuses to acknowledge, that is the core reason for the bias against us.
————————————————————————————
Couldn’t agree more well said.
KEEP THE FAITH
As a matter of interest, is anyone aware of similar simulation accusations resulting in a two game ban anywhere in Europe, even the world!!
Marspapa
I agree,
when you think how much of scoddland is arranged against us, where our enemies are actively placed in positions to undermine and frustrate us. Where Celtic FC is seen as the enemy to so many sleekit hun nuggets, then yes, I think there will be lots of times when we will miss Big Peter.
The urgency of some of the cartoon hun posters to see Peter gone is also very revealing.
HHH.

I know theres prob a few folk in here who have experienced Scotland shipyards so im no tellin tales just enlightening hopefully.worked in them for first time just a few years ago.was an eyeopener what you were expected to put up with ‘patter’ wise.Not just in Glasgow but Rosyth too and not just bigoted stuff but racist stuff for the foreign workers.

I’ve been a granpa since my early 50s and enjoyed every minute. This is a knew dimension, which I’m lucky enough to be in, in the present climate, to be able to enjoy. I’ve met you and most of the usual suspects at CP on a few occasions and looking forward to meeting up again. 👍👍👍😃😃😃HH
Hun posters
Your a cracker,

Lanzini west ham but had to be referref (probably by a spurs fan)
2 game I think
So after 18 years in charge has anything changed bankiebhoy.
The answer to that is No and you know it. So dont come on here questioning other people’s affiliation to the club because we dont all believe that the one who will shall not be named was the great messiah.
Another one that can keep up the good work.

You win today’s investigative prize, found this from 2017
West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini has been given a two-match ban for diving in Saturday’s Premier League win at Stoke.

The new CEO will do as lawell did , as he is told . The absent landlord is the guy who calls ALL the shots , and he will do as he has always done Hee Haw , he could have sanctioned a fight back against our haters , he chose not to . HH
hi jim
sound post fella.correct it is down to DD.
play the neutral jim and play at being DD
So i own 40%ish of Celtic.
Celtic is a long term investment.
i have been involved with Celtic since 1994
i have underwrote reinvestments and recapitalized Celtic since initial involvement.That stability since seen Celtic through a few economic crisis and a banking crisis which profoundly affected our market.
In 2012 rfc liquidated,publically i missed them(golf course) as a corporate plc we said and did nothing.Shareholders wanted Action thro res12,i dint, i may argue as major shareholder i took the brunt of cost of murray cheating and a 2nd Celtic 9iar is a nice reflection on Murray as it is theirs to explain Why they wurr”pitdoon””demoteed” etc etc
Just a what if jim.😊but sometimes switch it round.

AN TEARMANN
Spoken like a business man rather than a supporter of the club..
he will be in the golf course when we are putting up with scum posts about deaths, child abuse and the fact they didn’t really die ..
I’m afraid that annoys me even more about DD
The new CEO will do as lawell did , as he is told
—
i dont agree
as i have said often enough on here
a CEOs only agenda is to protect and enhance their remuneration package – pay, bonus, shares, pension etc
every decision they make is aimed at that end
everything else is just window dressing
nothing else matters – customers, shareholders, staff, general public, and in our case season ticket holders
they are all just tools to be used at the appropriate time to fill the CEO’s trough
so yes, the new CEO will also do that, but dont necessarily blame DD for that, CEOs dont need any guidance to do what they do
Think the wee genius Xavi was spot on..
Barca and Celtic play in league’s where they are not always welcome..
(Paraphrasing)..
💚HH..
JUANHILL BHOY .
Hope i made a better impression than the one i’ve made with PITYMEVIN, lol
Sean, that is a great post and words from a great player and undoubtedly a great man.
Whats Xavi up to?.is he still managing.there was a player.barca and spain never been the same since retired.
Does any other club endlessly talk and post about a CEO? Bar Real Madrid and Barcelona, I can’t think of any, just shows he’s had far too much power and influence over us.
Marspapa, I did like no laughing at the back. I did notice and always like the humor.
I do apologise, but I also like some of the old boys saying and just thought I would share.
It was a very thought provoking post and may just have started a conversation and as long it’s not about covid19, I’m in.
By the way, can anyone recommend a wrestling star I should support.
Hail hail
Its not that unexpected that when thems goat ahead, albeit with the help o’ ithers on the journey ( aye)
that some o’ thum would idle here to gloat, to disrupt and sow division.
HHH.
MARSPAPA
No worries buddy, in fact,, I’ve still got the program you gave me on one of our meetings. 😀😀😀😀
Spurs game in the background, Bale must be the most expensive player to sit consistently on a bench
So CEO a waste of time.
Cool
Nitd nite
Nite nite ffs
So CEO a waste of time.
—
a PLC needs a CEO
it’s PLCism thats the problem
obviously combined with a major shareholder who doesnt give a shit
I remember CQN used to be nite nite God Bless
Look at it now 🤷♂️🤷♂️😂😂
Check back fud
Has NFL done the decent thing yet? Probably not.
Genuine question: has Dermot Desmond put any money into Celtic in the last 20 years? Aside from potentially paying managers on the side, has there been any money from his pocket put into the club? Is he even allowed to?
Drew1967..
Him and Iniesta the complete midfielders. ..
Both nae taller than 5’7…
Watched Barcelona in cop del rey last night..
Wee guy came on turned the game Puch ithink his is..
The next superstar off the catalan conveyer belt…
5’6..💚HH

bale loves his golf
if we offered him a free membership for st andrews, troon and the EK pitch and putt, i think we could get him on loan for a season
that would be something
as long as our kick off times didnt clash with his tee off times
😄
Malone Bhoy
When we asked the question we where told it was against corporate law
I thought the role of CEO was for all shareholders not just the majority shareholders
JUANHILL BHOY
I’ve given a few away over the years . You’ve outed yirsel with the BUDDY” term .
Take care aul yin , hope you and the boss’s health is in fine fettle and she’s no hittin ye too hard wae that stick
🤣
How things change — our fall is almost complete.
What we have we can’t inspire / what we could have want’s to leave.
The big issue is can we recover next season?
I fear we are in such a bad way that all the moons will have to align to get anywhere near a proper challenge and the PL legacy of a shot squad and failing youth system mean that we will need a manager of the calibre of BR and then some with a ability to trade horses as a natural.
You still have to ask how did we manage to stumble into such a shambles?
Then comes the next big issue — how do we stop this happening again?
