‘They need removed now’ ‘We are being duped’ ‘They are not capable they are culpable’ Bankier in the spotlight from Celtic fans

Last week Ian Bankier signed off Celtic’s annual report by assuring shareholders that the club is in good hands.

With the clock ticking towards the AGM the hoops chairman will be hoping that results improve quickly if he isn’t to face a winter of discontent from fans inside the stadium.

Since the appointment of Brendan Rodgers in May 2016 it is difficult to recall a decision by the club hierarchy that has been broadly welcomed.

When the Irishman left less than halfway through his new extended contract the warning signs were there, two and a half years later it seems that Bankier and his fellow directors are still in denial.

The processes that installed Neil Lennon and Ange Postecoglou seem questionable, one was the caretaker appointed in the Hampden showers while the other was quickly head-hunted once it became clear that Eddie Howe wasn’t interested in taking on a massive rebuild funded by selling off the best players.

Since Rodgers arrived the club has cashed in on Moussa Dembele, Kieran Tierney, Stuart Armstrong, Jeremie Frimpong, Kris Ajer and Odsonne Edouard. Even the most optimistic fan would struggle to identify a £10m player in the current squad.

Postecoglou will be in the media spotlight today as he tries to look at Bayer Leverkusen with a domestic storm gathering over a record of picking up 10 points from 21.

Behind the scenes more and more fans are realising that there are far bigger problems and issues in the boardroom than in the dug-out and dressing room.
