I am in Scarborough and thers actually Celtic n cream buns shouting for same team, my nephew asked wots worse Engurland winning WC or cream buns winning a cornerš¤£.

I have been pretty vocal on my mistrust of the Board for a long time but now is as bad as I can ever remember (and that includes the Kelly/ White dynasty) . We have the same old tired excuse every transfer window and we as fans know it's a smokescreen for gross incompetence. Its clear we need to strengthen almost all over the pitch and that has been the case for an age and yet we monitor, dither, monitor, consider, maybe even go as far as making a bid that is nowhere near good enough and lose out.
But aye Nicolson is working flat out to bring players in! Tell you what put me or any other fan in charge and we would by now 100% have Iheanacho and Sarrrcahi signed and sealed. Yes we may have paid slightly over the odds in wages but 1 is a freebie and the other Ā£2m max. Our Board are a disgrace, particularly DD for standing by Nicolson.
15 Jul 2026 20:36:42
The difference between todayās board and the Whiteās and Kellyās is that there is Ā£70m+ lying in the bank which makes them worse than the old board because there is no need for it š¤.
15 Jul 2026 21:13:18
Nicholson does what Dermot tells him, so that is why he is not sacked.
15 Jul 2026 18:53:17
Please tell me MON hasn't said that he didn't seek any assurances about budget and players coming in.
What is happening to everyone connected to the club.
This piss take can't continue much longer.
MON has to stop all the nonsense when he taking press conferences.
This isn't a night with MON at the comedy club.
Well it probably is the club are complete joke.
I used to think I don't want the club going into foreign ownership.
I genuinely thought that DD could redeem himself but am seriously loosing the plot with it all.
What will it take to get rid of him.
15 Jul 2026 19:56:07
JJ, I was thinking the same and was going to post but Iām honestly tired of the negativity with Celtic.
Nothing good is coming out of Celtic and MON is giving the vibes of being a puppet for DD.
A living legend of the club and heās being left hung to dry.
15 Jul 2026 21:32:17
Getting really tired of MON with his flippant remarks to the media. Donāt think he realises how condescending and disrespectful he is being to the Celtic supporters who have legitimate concerns. Also wish he would stop referring to the resident golf pro as the owner.
He will be the one the board hang out if things go tits up while they hide in the corporate bar, he might not be so flippant if that happens.
15 Jul 2026 12:47:42
Another knock in the Hassan dealā¦ this is getting tedious now the board are useless.
15 Jul 2026 18:34:37
There's a surprise!
15 Jul 2026 19:13:28
Read that MON has more or less dismissed us from signing players that have been at the World Cup.
15 Jul 2026 21:33:59
Jeez, they are already struggling just to get back what we had last season.
15 Jul 2026 17:32:17
This is probably a stupid question, but I honestly don't know. Does the members of the Celtic board get a bonus for how much money is in the Celtic account?. Only reason I am asking is I can't for the life of me figure out why they hold onto as much money.
And apart from the team there is parts of Celtic park needing attention that seems to get missed. Then I think of last season where a blind man could see we needed some money spent on players before the CL qualifiers yet they couldn't wake up to make it happen.
15 Jul 2026 18:12:17
I know lawwell and Nicholson did but unsure about the rest. However, I'm sure they all benefit from high share price.
15 Jul 2026 17:00:29
Someone needs to tell Desmond that even the prices in Poundland have gone up and tupence gets you sweet fa these days.
15 Jul 2026 16:35:49
Sir David Murray bought Rangers FC for Ā£6M on November 23rd 1988 and then Sold them for Ā£1 on May 6th 2011.
During his 8199 days at the club he achieved 36 honours of which 17 were tainted EBT honours.
2 tainted honours from the Wee Tax Case and 15 tainted honours from the Big Tax Case.
It took Celtic only 15 days to win our first honour after Minty Sold Rangers with the 2011 Scottish Cup.
15 years later since Sir David Sold the old Ibrox club for Ā£1,
Celtic have now Won 31 major honours in only 5496 days when we beat Dunfermline in the SC Final.
Thatās exactly only two thirds of the time (67%) from the whole Minty era at Ibrox.
Only 5 honours short but with 8 years to spare and all that success without any Cheating.
Karma she is playing a blinder and long may it continue.
15 Jul 2026 16:58:37
When the BBC done an investigation into Oldcos use of EBTs, I recall one of their old directors, a Mr Adams, saying they were using other schemes prior to the DoS but he did not elaborate. If true, the cheating goes back further than we think.
15 Jul 2026 17:00:15
Would have interesting if Ayr United had not turned him down Buzz, ruined Scottish hockey and Scottish basketball before turning his meglamaineyism to football. Stiffed the taxpayers for a billion, cee u next Tuesday of a man.
15 Jul 2026 17:12:54
Wonderful!
15 Jul 2026 17:39:49
Former Director Hugh Adam mentioned in the early 2000s that Bankruptcy was āthe logical conclusionā due to Mintyās business strategy and he was ridiculed for his views.
We know for definite Rangers FC cheated for at least 12 years and now Sevco Scotland FC have been in the doldrums for the last 14 Years and counting.
Absolutely No Sympathy because they still wonāt admit they received a sporting advantage even though their old Manager Alex McLeish admitted they did receive a sporting advantage.
Plus the Supreme Court Verdict confirmed McLeish was right.
Looking at the big picture and everything thatās happened,
I would be surprised in hindsight if any Ibrox fans would keep the Minty Golden years because Iām sure the vast majority will be wishing he was never allowed near their old club in 1988.
Why else would they strip his name from the training ground.
15 Jul 2026 17:47:31
Buzz think of it this way oldco went bust in 2012 newco then came through the leagues and 3_4 years ago reached a ueropean final what does that say about our boards ambition in a one horse race.
{Ed007's Note - It tells you the board wouldn't spunk Ā£144m up the wall and have practically hee-haw to show for it.}
15 Jul 2026 18:24:53
The point i'm trying to make ed is if we are pointing out everyone elses flaws regarding clubs we really need to start looking closer to home. let's say for hypothetical sake hearts had won the league do you think going into champions league playoff and season starting they would be in as poor a shape as we are.
we knew last season we needed better and the board have no ambition to match the fans or the great club we support and follow.
{Ed007's Note - I can't realistically answer that, we aren't due to play the CL game for another month where as Hearts play Strum Graz next week. They've lost their manager, top striker and one of their main midfielders to TRIFC and their data analysis/set-piece coach to us, they've spent circa Ā£2m on a selection of 10 Action Man heeds and a manager nobody had heard of.
Celtic will have new players in before the CL qualifier and people saying otherwise are just moaning for the sake of moaning, coincidentally it's a lot of the same people that said we wouldn't win the league and would be lucky to come third š¤·āāļø
15 Jul 2026 18:44:12
Edd are the cream buns in Ā£144m of debt and if so is ther any chance they can die AGAINš.
{Ed007's Note - No mate, that's their total losses since they were founded in 2012.
According to TRIFC latest published accounts:
They had around Ā£1.8 million in bank loans outstanding.
The total interest-bearing debt was Ā£21.8 million, made up mainly of:
~Ā£16.3 million in investor loans.
~Ā£3.6 million in other commercial/bank borrowing.
~Ā£1.9 million in lease liabilities.
They had a recent share issue that rasied Ā£16m which wasf fully subscribed by existing shareholders meaning the Delaware consortium gained more power (and secrecy) over the smaller shareholders and to keep them in line with UEFA's FSR.}
15 Jul 2026 18:44:58
Sevco were close to success under a good Manager GVB but Celtic were lucky we had Ange that season.
But typically the Ibrox bosses did the dirty on GVB with their genius Beale and now Karma has worked more of her magic ever since.
Youāre right about the Celtic Boardās ambition and thatās why we havenāt won a European knockout tie in 22 years and counting.
Myself and other Celtic Supporters must also share the blame for such a poor European record.
We were too obsessed with domestic success and 10 in a row Etc that we believed Europe was only a bonus at best.
I still wouldnāt change our Quadruple Treble success but that European record is embarrassing for a club thatās used to winning.
{Ed007's Note - GVB was the best manager they've had, Buzz but he was too nice a guy for them, they need a raving lunatic that buys into their warped mindset or he'll never last.
15 Jul 2026 19:38:16
Ed your honest opinion. where do you see the future going with this current board in charge, or do you see or have heard any murmurings about anyone out there wantint to buy celtic.
{Ed007's Note - In my honest opinion I think there is something going on behind the scenes, whether it's Haughey or even the Boston Celtics guy I don't know but a few things don't sit right, Wilson is still interim chairman with no hints or rumours about a permanent one, MON getting the job for a year and just basically everything being short term.
The problem is that this board are happy just to be top dogs in Scotland whereas the reality is we have outgrown the Scottish game in a way that David Murray could only dream of at Ibrox, I honestly put it down to some kind of fear, I genuinely think that the people running our Club are scared to spend/speculate and invest incase it backfires. Do any of them have any experience at all of running a football club let alone one bringing in Ā£140m+ a year in revenue - does that make sense?
Think of it like this, as JFP says on the pods regularly, "Sometimes you need to know what you don't know to progress"...
Say I won Ā£200m on the lottery and decided to try and buy DD out, that's where my involvement should end, I don't know how to run a football Club but I'd go out and get the best CEO & DOF that I can afford to do that and all I need then is someone I trust representing me on the board to make sure it's all above board
15 Jul 2026 11:51:52
Just hear me out.
The history books will show, domestically, complete dominance in the last 15/ 20 years.
You have to include Rangers problems in that because that's apart of the history.
That domestic dominance however came at the cost of no progress in Europe.
We should have been in a position to run the team to do both.
I know we aren't going to win the CL but there should have been progress. when we thought there were signs of progress, the board circled the wages in and periods of down sizes kicked in.
As a fan I could only imagine what it would be like to have a board that would be on the ball with the way a modern football club should be run.
The men's first team should be the number one priority.
As I have said before I would scrap the academy. Its now producing players to leave at 16 and the ones left clearly aren't good enough.
DD has been holding the club back for years.
He had it in a decent state.
All he had to do was modernise the board and the workings off the club but he decided on rolling his sleeves up and wanting to fight with the supporters and his stubbornness and I truly think, hatred of the support leaves us in the place we are today.
The business might look good, the trophy Hall the same, but we should be so much further on than we are.
That's the frustrating part.
For some reason we are being held back.
Through in the stadium being tired now. many areas need modernising.
We now have a manager that's older than the board members.
We have at least 5 maybe up to 10 players who will struggle to complete 90 minutes for a variety of reasons.
Yet I have still brought my 2 season tickets.
I love going to watch celtic. i love our history, love our club.
The question I have to you all.
Why are they doing this.
15 Jul 2026 12:30:15
You cannot scrap the academy or womans team. Both are required for domestic and European licenses.
15 Jul 2026 13:34:42
Fair enough about the academy, but with the laws since brexit it's just a playground for the epl to take any that's half decent.
Its waste of time and money.
15 Jul 2026 13:53:51
My feelings exactly JJ. I don't understand why we are being held back in fulfilling our potential. Our Club should be run like a well oiled machine, players leave with replacements lined up, strive to become better every season. Instead the footballing side of things is run like an old clapped out motor.
15 Jul 2026 15:54:27
It's because Michael Nicholson is actually agent orange.
15 Jul 2026 17:06:35
Celtic who see themselves as a bank and merch brand, rather than a football club. That's the reason we are held back. We aren't a serious football club.
15 Jul 2026 11:13:27
MON "Hopeful of new players coming in"
"Nicholson is working as fast as he can to sign players, why yesterday I saw 6 second class stamps on his desk ready to put on envelopes with offers for players, he hopes to hear back in the New Year".
15 Jul 2026 09:51:10
Just off the back of last nights friendly.
Letās not forget sporting were UCL quarter finalists.
Only just got put out by arsenal 1-0 the premier league champions.
Their buying power is substantially higher than Celtics.
We certainly need a whole new midfield though!
15 Jul 2026 10:32:13
We donāt buy very much, thatās the whole problem š¤.
15 Jul 2026 11:08:35
The Motherwell boys rumour has went very quiet, evn players that are at WC are getting signed by other teams, a pre season is all about getting players in to get fit and used to environment and systems.
Ineacheo is apparently training with sum1 but he was doing that last yr and still unfit, he is the best finiisher in Scotland get the deal done and get him and at least 90% fit.
15 Jul 2026 11:08:53
A couple of loans and maybe get Iheanacho and Saracchi for a year, whilst selling Maeda and Engels and that will be our whack. Seen this movie too many times.
15 Jul 2026 11:31:38
Need centre defenders and midfielders.
But Sporting youths showed us up big time friendly or not.
15 Jul 2026 12:40:27
Celtic deservedly beat Sporting 2-0 this time last year but yet 4-1 flattered us 12 months later.
