The plan is Football only . Mostly Celtic , but also on clubs in our orbit who could affect our ability to maximise our potential

Who is he accountable to ?

The board sets the strategy

Not the execs . Their job is to follow the wishes of the shareholders as instructed by the board

That is very dry and boring when everyone wants someone to carry the can

However you can only do the job you are allowed to do

34% does not = being the owner

But agree , lets look at accountability, or more precisely why 34% allows decision making without any accountability or scrutiny

Our main attacking options were a 34 yr old Jamesy and Yang

The midfield is stymied because Nygren isn't remotely of the quality we had previously

Plus

We have just about the oldest squad in the competition

None of that is on Brendan , he's not IC Recruitment

That's how i see it

He might not get enough game time at Celtic this season

He needs to play , so he can develop and so we can judge him

All good . Hope you're in good shape

Going to Hibs or Aberdeen would be a good move for a season

Heโ€™s also got the size to play in England in The Championship

He might be Celtic quality, but it doesnโ€™t look like heโ€™s quite ready yet

31.07.2025 08:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He'll empty Hampden playing this way .

I obviously don't know how the players react to him, but looking from the outside he doesn't look like a leader or a motivator

I'd have KT instead of Hanley and Lewis Ferguson instead of McLean

Clarke is such an uninspiring manager .

I arrived in California in early February. Getting through immigration was no different to previous. I didn't notice anyone having to hand over a phone

Maybe it's changed since then

My plan is to only use here moving forward . I plan to be off X completely in the near future

I've had enough of that dangerous idiot .

f you said nothing to condemn Griffiths, you shouldn't be saying anything now

However , if you slaughtered Celtic for Griffiths & Browns behaviour when winning . Calling Celtic a team with no class or no respect for opponents, yet are silent on Cerny & others, then that's poor

19.03.2025 23:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The brouhaha over the antics of Rangers players might get overblown

The hypocrisy though is eye watering, on both sides

I said we shouldn't sign Griffiths, before we signed him . I didn't want someone with his baggage. I said the scarf stuff was idiotic

Not sure why

I think he's been very good in recent months

In his position he's not necessarily going to be as flashy as others .

ยฃ11m is a lot to pay for us , but i'd say he's been a good player. He didn't set the fee.

Rangers fans can celebrate however they like , it's been long enough , and we'd do the same

However, their players . ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. A classless , brainless bunch .

Did the manager pick the wrong team ? Not in my view , who else could he have chosen ?

Did he set them up the wrong way ? No idea, i'm not qualified to comment.

Have we got some players who aren't good enough for our toughest games ? Self evidently yes

Why ? Now there's a point to debate

17.03.2025 14:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Today wasn't his finest hour

He was limited in who he could bring on , and he made a change at half time which did make us more competitive, but i'm sure he knows the first half was unacceptable from everyone, including him

16.03.2025 18:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It would be very harsh if he wasn't in the squad against Hearts

16.03.2025 17:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Scales also , but i think Nawrocki is better than him anyway

16.03.2025 17:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nawrocki , i thought , was our best player

That says a lot

16.03.2025 17:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Can't argue with that

Just a bad bad day

16.03.2025 16:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It'll be interesting to see if Nawrocki gets other chances

I think he's better than Scales , but maybe it's already been decided he should move on .

16.03.2025 16:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I suspect it'll be a rerun of last season, when Brendan turned to Jamesie , as he was the only one he trusted

Yang will get some time as well , with Kuhn starting far less

16.03.2025 16:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The only way to get real quality without them being an automatic starter, is to spend ยฃ5M + on 18 or 19 year olds

Or you bring in a couple of veteran players on a free

A mix probably works best , but i've been banging the sign young drum for a while

To be fair , we have done a bit in that cohort

16.03.2025 16:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'd not be unhappy to see him move . Hopefully we get ยฃ12-15 M

We got draws at Zagreb , Atalanta , and Bayern. A couple of them were heroic

Don't agree we were shambolic

Bad result in Dortmund, but respectable performance at Villa

16.03.2025 15:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We don't have ยฃ100 million or even close to that

We do though have sufficient cash reserves and headroom to comply with Uefa squad cost regulations

I'd expect we spend at a similar level to last season, whilst selling a couple of players

16.03.2025 15:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's true , but the performance was the disappointment

The lack of options on the bench is a concern
