Showing their uncanny knack in failing to read the rood, on Monday Celtic’s Commercial team announced to fans that the Elf team was after their cash!
It seems that £72m sitting in the club account at the end of June isn’t enough with further raids required on the #celticfamily.
While times are tough for many fans it is kerching time in the boardroom with Director fees increased from £25,000 a year to £40,000 for clocking in to six board meetings a year and nodding through whatever will keep their absentee landlord quiet as he tackles the fairways and bunkers of the world.

One particular elf has done exceptionally well, picking up a club record payment of £3.5m in 2019 after failing to reach the group stages of the Champions League and chasing away a highly successful, ambitious manager.
In return fans were treated to the January arrivals of Vakoun Bayo, Oli Burke, Timo Weah, Jeremy Toljan, Andrew Gutman, Manny Perez and of course the millionth winger- Marian Shved.
After taking 18 months out of the firing line during which his son was installed as Head of First Team Recruitment and Scouting big Peter is back as Chairman, working closely with his prodigy Michael Nicholson to stay a point or two clear of domestic opponents.
Brendan Rodgers is looking for experienced, quality additions to his squad next month, especially in the striking positions with Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Oh Hyeon-gyu heading to the Asian Cup.
So far there has been no confirmation of new arrivals, last season Alistair Johnstone made his debut on January 2.
Is this Elf on the board?

72m in bank and still fleecing fans? Shame on you.

Peter Lawell after supporters hard earned cash you mean?

That another project signing that’ll continue to sit on the shelf?

There`s a perfect metaphor for what the Club has been doing to the support for far too long?

Uncanny likeness to Peter Lawwell. Wants supporters cash so his son can spend some of it on bargain players who aren’t good enough and the rest can be squirreled in the bank to make sure all the execs get nice bonuses.

Is he called Peter?

I notice the wallet is empty, likely because the fans are being rinsed to top up the savings account.

And still they buy their Season Tickets and Merchandise…How the Board love them…Kerching !!
The only weapon fans have is their cash, stop spending on merch etc will soon bring DD to his senses, no more programmes, overpriced slop that passes for stadium food and tickets for cup games would be a good start.
The problem we have and always have had is our board play on the loyalty of our fans, but the board are becoming Kelly’s and Whites Mk 2.
Ignore the fans at their peril.
