Just seen a photo of the "sack the board" banner at the EK game. Won't be at a game until Dundee myself but I really hope minds start to be vocal, join in chorus and a revolution is in full swing by then. Something both pro and anti RD celts can join in hand in hand. Celts for Change anyone?

I agree Jim - I almost get the Impression that Lawwell is getting off on being so intransigent! That's why I'd like Desmond to get rid of him and Park! Bankier also seems an egomaniac! It's not so much their decisions, of anything to do with Ronny, simply that they don't give a feck what we think! They think we're all a bit thick, it's actually quite ironic because the last few years with them in charge takes a bit of beating!

It did not help get rid of John Reid so doubt it will help now.

DD should be leaving aswell i think we have the tightest billionaire owner in world football.

It's a nice thought Jim, but who actually sacks a board.
This board would probably respond to demonstrations against them by sacking the manager, they would hope that that would be enough to keep the fans happy.
I would love to see different people running our club, people with a bit of ambition and vision. I know in reality though that it's very unlikely to happen.
Dermot Desmond is quite happy making money out of Celtic, if the natives start to get restless he'll sacrifice the manager to keep us at arms length.
However much we moan about them, I can't see this board going anywhere, we just have to hope that either Ronny starts to come good, or a different manager comes in and manages to get more out of what we have.

I know Desmond isn't perfect but he has actually put in hard cash, and he did at the only real time we needed it! Guys like Lawwell and Bankier haven't put in a cent! My family bought quite a lot of shares when Fergus bought the club yet Lawwell and Bankier are making all the decisions, and they come across as totally detached, and almost as though we have a cheek even questioning anything they do! That other lot have made more progress on the pitch in 6 months than we have made in Lennon's last season and Ronny's time put together!

Well certain members. Not sure what our current chairman has done exactly and our chief executive falls short in all criteria. Those two for me would be a start. Obviously majority shareholders aren't all going to disappear at once unless some sheikh or oil baron sees fit, which probably wouldn't be just yet. But first things first.

I am afraid you haven't a notion if D D is the tightest billionaire in world football .
I think that is really a crazy over the top statement made without any substance .

well if you look at other clubs with billionaire owners who actually put money into their club instead of taking it out he must be pretty close to being the tightest and if u think that's a crazy over the top statement you must live a very sheltered life.

big D Dermot Desmond doesn't own Celtic, he is the biggest shareholder and Fergus Mc Cann when he was looking for investors couldn't believe his generousity as D D told Fergus he would give double what he was seeking .
According to past managers of Celtic D D is very generous towards club and first team squad . I imagine these managers may know more than some fans re D D's generousity or tightness.
