The shortcomings and major mistakes of our Board have been well documented; so too the error in judgement of WN's appointment and disastrous tenure. Today I really hope the players take a look at the league table and feel the shame and guilt of a group that - barring a few - have been absolutely atrocious for large parts of the season.
Maybe unfair to single out individuals, but I will start at our 'goalkeeper' and you can easily work out the rest. Changes to this underwhelming squad will hopefully be made in the coming days but make no mistake about the huge task ahead thanks to a cocktail of cock-ups right through Celtic.

It looks like the 2, 1 we have signed already on loan from Bournemouth, and TaBi were not identified by our scouting or recruitment team, they were offered to us and about every team in Europe, including sevco, at our level, teams like Brugge.
So if those teams saw nothing in them, why did we.
{Ed007's Note - I read that earlier and it's absolute nonsense, we had been watching Julian Araujo since he was at Barca and Mark Lawwell tried to bring him in when he went to Las Palmas on loan - maybe his agent got in touch to see if we still were with AJ's long term injury?
Even at that, it's perfectly normal for agents to call up scouts/DOFs etc to see if they are interested in their players so I don't see the big deal apart from trying to $hit stir and trying to besmirch the players as not good enough.
We were also probably offered most of the dross that have rocked up at Ibrox under the same circumstances.}

There is only one person to blame for the position we are in domestically and we all know who that Frenchman is.
We have easily the best squad of players in the league, easily good enough domestically and if he wasn't appointed I am confident this same squad of players would have had a trophy in the cabinet and be sitting top of the league.
Yes we need to strengthen a good few positions, but the predicament we're in is down to one man and his ludicrous team set up.

I'm not convinced we have the best team in the league. But I think Martin could have them punching above their weight.

I'd say that on their respective games, we've got the best group of players in the league.
One of the most glaring issues is how far our level, individually and collectively, has regressed back towards the 'chasing pack'.
The Celtic family silver has all but gone, sold off to the highest bidder and replaced with a poorer standard of player.

Well said Stevie 100% spot on.

Hertz and the Rangers are terrible and I'd imagine whoever wins the league this year it will be a record low points total. If either of the two of them don't win it this season, they never will in the foreseeable future.

Cheers Ed. Aware agents do that, just hoping that they chose us and have not been turned down by clubs because they are dross and are a cheap option. You know our CEO.
Ta Bi looks decent but a little green (no pun intended) but that is based on videos I have looked at which is no real indicator.

Ange wanted him.
