Here's my tuppence worth. Ok. The board are clowns. Decided. The managers out of his depth. Decided. Now here's the thing. Players on 5-10 -20 grand A WEEK. Duuurh I can't kick ball like dat. Duuuuhr I can't make ball go. Really think about that. A job we've all dreamt of but kick the ball is being made out to be too hard.

Players have to take a lot of blame for recent performances, But Nancy Nicholson Tisdale are way out of there depth and should be gone by now, then new recruitment and manager can deal with underperforming players.

Some of them seem to have either chucked it or taken the huff since MON's emotional farewell whereas some others are frankly just kak. Whatever the reason this treading water until he gets the sack is totally unprofessional and unbecoming a Celtic player.
I completely agree the problems at the club are deep rooted with the Board public enemy number one and Nancy close behind, but the experienced players especially should be giving much more to the suffering support.
We have had several bad spells in all my years watching the Hoops but those teams gave 100%. This is too much like lockdown league.

All the people slagging the players have never answered this.
If your boss took away some of the most important tools you needed to do you job and depleted your resources, would you be able to produce the same results?
Now add to that, you boss had created a toxic environment and when you turned up to work you got abuse from the customers, would this affect your performance?

If your a professional you should give your all and be able to adapt and a wouldn't care what atmosphere my boss was creating I have 60000 customers behind me knowing that I am performing to the best of my abilities and earning anything up to £30k a wk a would do well in any environment.

Your boss also changes your job and expects you to do it from the start with no experience.
At this moment in time, it is a lose, lose environment for the players.
They need to play regularly to stay sharp and build confidence but struggle for form as they are playing an alien system.
It is designed for failure.
Tisdale, who is on holiday, needs to go, he has brought nothing of substance to the club, Dr football, more like Dr Doolittle, because he appears to have done just that.
Good players just don't turn into bad ones.
Our players were taken in to play a certain way, our board knew that as they agreed to sign them. Yet they take in a Manager who doesn't and will never play that way, because he does not know how to.
The bottom line is they have unwittingly put themselves and the Manager behind the 8 ball if they want the team to be successful, because they are going to have to build a new team.
If they do that will it be in the mould of WN or will the board sign who they want.
What an absolute mess.
Clever businessmen, definitely not, arrogant, probably, more than anything though, I believe this was DD trying to demonstrate that he is in charge and the only person he listens to is himself.
We have very good players like Jota, who doesn't really fit the profile of this system, where does he fit in when he is fit.
Winning tomorrow is a must, because losing to a team as poor as the sheep are, would be a real low point for me, even lower than the last few games.

For 10k/ 20k a week you could hurl all the insults at me all you want in the most toxic enviroment you could create?.

Their tools are their feet, so they should be able to pass a ball to someone in the same coloured strip whoever is in charge.

That is a simplistic view.
Players are taught to play in zones, not run about the field like a headless chicken.
They also go through their careers playing as a right back or left back and so on, and when they are asked to go from a CB into a left winger it is very diffucult, a totally different role.
It is just total stupidity for players to be asked to do that.
It demonstrates to me a Manager who is so set in his ways that he expects all around him to change, when it would be easier for him to tweak his system a little.
