Serious question in light of all that’s going on in and around Celtic fc. Are our board so well insulated from the support unrest, that they are oblivious to the reasoning behind the collective, not another penny, and all the other background complaints like the AGM fiasco.
Have they just looked at season ticket sales and taken that as a pat on the back to carry on with business as usual. Can’t get the image of out of my head of one of Eddie Murphy, s characters walking around with his fingers in his ears chanting NAH NAH NAH I’m not listening.

If Dermot Desmond ran his other businesses the way he runs Celtic he’d be skint, he is not bothered about the club at all, Nicolson and McKay are just corporate monkeys dancing to his tune, the fact that they are happy to let the taxman fill his boots does not show good business strategy, Nicolson gets £17k a week for what exactly ?.

I think they know about the unrest but believe it is just a small minority, as was evidenced by Ross desmonds speech at the AGM.
I personally don't think they care what we think as long as we keep giving them our hard earned cash and the stocks price is ok.
With regards to how Desmond runs the club. On the most part he runs the club well financially and has built a strong foundation. The problem some of us have, is that he is ultra conservative and risk averse, which is fine during lean times as fans will accept that but as we are seeing now, many of us are frustrated that he is unwilling to try and gradually take us to the next level.
There is so many things that the club could be doing to improve us but are reluctant to try.
