I will be slated again,but here goes.RD is second rate,he is building what? A Fit Team? Who will press High and play ticky,tacky to the man up front. Who will scoop the ball in?. BS, No One is fitter than 2 seasons ago,or maybe they are but have just lost their spirt, the team is sh__ ,second rate,not even English league 1,or for those who do. Not like that. Comparison,seconda in Italy or Spain.The Board have found a week Scandianavian who will do as they say( one good thing is that we all know now that he ignores any football advice that is given by John Collins,which at least shows he has as all piece of savvy. His signings are also Sh__ no spine to stand up,he says he wanted to sign Boyata for the past 2 seasons, then maybe he should be at Brentford

Maybe you should get yourself to bed.

What is RD meant to do if the club won't spend money? He will make the best he can out what we have by signing young players with good potential! He is the right man for the job! Give home another year or two and our team will be the way he wants it! Too many of u are far too negative! Rightly so if we don't get in the CL But not before! It's our boards fault if we do not start spending a bit more we can not follow the business model set by teams like Porto

Original poster that was a complete pile of BS you posted.
Ed 007 can you create a page or link for the doom n gloom fans as it just can't be me that's losing minutes of my life that I won't get back 😂😂😂

Lol we're a team that lack competitive opposition in the league so how are we supposed to improve each week, there's only so much that can be done on the training ground
21 Aug 2015 22:17:32
Someone's had a swally!
21 Aug 2015 22:33:09
I'll reserve my judgement til after Tuesday's game! Hoping we'll have enough to get through! But if we get put out the champions league 3 times in the past year by teams of the level we're playin then questions need to be asked further up the ladder than RD! Let's just hope we prove we're a better team than Malmo! Who I thought we're ordinary!

Has just done what the Scottish media does before we enter a critical time , turn the pressure on Celtic , try to cause division between club and supporters .
Or maybe too much alcohol has been consumed .

Shocking post!

RD can only p*ss with the cockerel he has been given.
I have personally seen the green shoots of improvement in guys like Bitton and Griffiths and that was part of his remit, getting the best out of average players.
I would love to see him get us into the Champions League on Tuesday night to give him a bit of leverage with PL and the board.
If we don't get there I fear that he will do a Lennon and decide that he can't carry on with one hand tied behind his back.

Who would you rather have somebody like LVG,who thinks the answer to every problem is to go out and spend more obscene amounts of money on a supposedly better player ,to camouflage his lack of man management and coaching abilities.

All this talk of lack of investment is a smoke screen. Malmo. Total cost of the team was £3mill. Maribor, top earner on € 4000 a week. Another team put together for minimum funds. Teams from Greece, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, leagues that produce similar incomes to the SPL have teams regularly qualifying for CL. We will never win it with the finances we have but we should qualify no problem. Maribor were an average side and knocked us out. Malmo are an average side and we should be beating these teams. So this is nothing to do with finance its about the ability of the manager to get the team playing and the real hunger of the players to want to win. this is not about finance. We have more available than them. Let's see who wants it more on Tuesday. That's all it's about.

RD is doing something that most managers in our financial state need to start doing and that's building on youth and home grown players, its not a one or two season project its a four or five, this is what we need to look at if we want any future in europe and anyone who actually knows football and grassroots football can see that

Our problem is our neighbours and I don't mean the tribute act, the English league is our problem. When others teams see guys like Ross McCormack going for 9 million they want us to pay silly money for players. Also teams in our own league shaft us (1.5 million for Ciftci).
Teams from Scandanavia and Slovenia can pick up players for buttons because the selling teams know they don't have the money.
If big Peter keeps telling the masses that we can buy 6 million pound players (and never delivers) then these smaller clubs will believe we have money and increase the price.

NiallH another smokescreen and excuses. I'm not talking about buying English players I am telling you the Malmo's and the Maribors , teams from Belgium, Greece, Slovakia, etc who have less money to spend than we do produce teams every season that qualify for CL. What advantage did Maribor have over us? What advantage do Nalmo have over us? Stop blaming The English wage structure for our lack of success in qualifying. It's a level playing field in the qualifiers we are not competing against the big clubs so like many Celtic fans you are confusing lack of success with a lack of funds. None of these teams have any money. It's about desire, tactics and ability. We should be home and hosed here and yet again we are struggling. Nothing to do with England.

I'm not talking about buying English players. Look at the guy from Zagreb. They are looking for 4 million for him because of interest from England so it pushes the price up for us. If Maribor and Malmo were after him Zagreb know that neither of them have 4 million so they would pick him up for 500k. Being so close to an inflated market is killing us.
With regards to RD he has inherited a team capable of winning the League year in year out but not good enough for Europe. To achieve European success instantly was impossible for him last year and will continue to be the norm unless we buy in a few quality players. Also the timing of the season doesn't help us against the Scandanvian teams.
