I didn't think it was possible even for the Celtic board but despite the fallout we'll arrive in Govan tomorrow weaker than we left Kazakhstan.
Yang and Tilio couldn't leave as we'd no replacements. Idah has had his medical and agreed personal terms but has been recalled. Amateur hour at the barras. If ever you saw a board of dinosaurs at the limits of their individual and collective capabilities you've seen it now.
A £40 million commercial opportunity missed that the CEO should be sacked for not to mention the prestige lost that attracts quality players and managers. Twenty years plus of European failure.
This club will progress not a jot until they and the major shareholder are removed. that's mo easy task but it's a must. Fergus McCann famous quote I can't be the brightest in the room. He had the humility to know he needed better than himself around him. Unfortunately humility is an attribute the Celtic board and major shareholder lack. The board don't know the most important thing to know - which is to know what you don't know.
Michael Nicholson CEO responsible for strategic direction. Laugh - I nearly burst a rib. Rodgers discussing Maeda's contract with DD. Why? When a clown enters a palace Michael that doesn't make him king - the palace begones a circus. Absolutely dysfunctional as a football club from recruitment to communication to academy.
Yet as was the case back in the day when the old board was ousted the board backers remain.
Never mind win in Govan tomorrow and we'll be champions among the bums.

How are we weaker?

In the striker department - I doubt Idah will be risked.
30 Aug 2025 14:45:22
Good post and we are undoubtedly weaker especially if idah ain't available, how do allow your main striker to go to Swansea go through a medical and then feck about trying to get your main target on the cheap even though you've got the money, one it's not fair on idah and two we've left ourselves short up top unless you think Kenny is the answer or the untried yamada at that level, what a rubbishshow.

JFP, totally agree mate. How do we get DD and the Board removed? Unless we as a fan base start boycotting ST sales and hitting them where it hurts, then frankly until then, they know they've got us in the palm of their hands. Full of noise but not doing anything about it. People will say 'if I give up my ST, someone else will take my place'. They may well be right which in that case, we are all farting in the wind.
Are walk outs during games an option but that will only be effective if the masses do it. Whatever the answer we need to do something.

It beggars belief JFP. ?
As always, as far as our aloof board are concerned, just stay ahead of those across the city and the majority of the punters will be happy. ?
In order for us to grow, develop and prosper as a footballing entity, we need to change those who are currently calling all the shots.

The Celtic Trust are having an AGM in September with that end in mind.
It’s not easy to shift them but at least people are asking the question how.

Yamada was excellent in the Leqgue game against Livi, tomorrow is another League game.

They can be shifted it just takes money, coordination, good planning and time.
As JFP said, there are some big hitting Celtic fans about to try and get elected to the Celtic Trust and aim to start making inroads to remove them by trying to get more shares in the hands of the trust and get the voting rights of people's shares transferred to the trust. I believe if they get 5% we can get someone on the board.

JFP have we not signed a quality winger and a left back on loan.

What bit of the word ‘striker’ was lost on you?
30 Aug 2025 18:28:47
I think that makes us stronger.
30 Aug 2025 18:28:07
I think The rangers defence will find it easier to play against Idah in the middle than a fast moving Yang .
