Absolutely wrong take- Celtic fans react to the excuses of Martin O’Neill

1. O’Neill is sounding more and more detached with reality. He claims to want unity but seems to side with the board. He should taking the board to task as even they would not dare get rid of him or stab him in the back like they did with Rodgers.

2. Has MON been gaslit by the board or is he just starting to crack under the pressure of trying to hold the club together ?
   It was really disappointing to hear MON trot out the “we haven’t got the money to compete” line.
   The fans are not stupid ! We all understand where we are , where we could be and the root cause of it, hence the protests. The fans have had enough and deserve better custodians for our club who have ambitions to move forward, compete and try and be the best that we can. Not stagnate with an aging and rudderless board who just want to protect the status quo!

3. Interviewer should have pointed out Bodo/Glimt

4. Who will be next to deflect from this board.
   Hearing rumors 3 current CEOs have been approached to take over from Nicholson all 3 told them to fuk off.
   2 of the 3 season ticket holders so I’m hearing anyway.

5. We aren’t asking the suits to buy 50m subs.
   We just want a proper recruitment process that sees talent move on for decent money but a core squad that stays together.
   Selling every single player that has a glimmer of interest from outside and not replacing them at all except with short term loans who mostly haven’t played for months due to injury or just being crap, isn’t the way to build for success or the future.
   Someone somewhere has decided we aren’t spending millions on players and pursuing loans and frees or prospects is the way to go.
   If someone as simple as me can see a revolving door of sub par loans n frees coming in combined with any talent leaving isn’t conducive to being stable and successful, then how the feck can suits on 800k a year not understand that too?
   Unfortunately for all Celtic fans, our clubs success is inexplicably connected to Sevco, we are not allowed to sail into the sunset leaving them behind, they are our parasitic twin. They need us to survive, to be relevant, to be validated.
   They are our achilles heel as much as the suits that buy into that view are.

6. One of the scary things for me is that Stuttgart never came out of second gear yet hammered us 4-1 away from home ! The away game in Germany may turn out to be a proper old fashioned slap in the face with a wet kipper ?

7. Well Martin you were our only hope in bringing this absolute shit show to an end and yet in a 3 minute interview you’ve shown that you have been played by a board who are destroying Celtic and losing the respect of the support

8. Quite honestly if I was MON I would probably walk away. I’m pretty sure he can see the enormity of the problem but the guy is too nice to take the hierarchy to task. He’s came in , done a long way above average job just because he cares and probably being asked to achieve the next to impossible.

   However, the real cause of the problem is not the board it’s the person that put them there that needs to be held to account .

   Hopefully the supporters collective can find a way to sort that out. If only they ( the family) had some of the bonnets business acumen and vision we would be in a better place. Let’s be a bit more positive and wish for the best in the months ahead but I fear it’s a massive task. No matter what I will always follow the hoops as I’ve done for the past sixty five years.

9. What Kelly said.

   1. Or, to put it another way:
      Old white millionaire fella reflects the views of another old white millionaire fella.
      Who can be surprised by that?

10. Being very generous…

    was MON’s comments about the protest just a variation of McCann’s recent, loud comments about added time?

    MON was just deflecting from the fact that the team was absolute mince and we deservedly got humped at home?

    And, of course, nobody wants to disrupt a game by throwing balls onto the pitch,

    but desperate times call for desperate measures.

    The Board continues to avoid meaningful engagement with the support.

11. “O’Neill has managed to diplomatically lodge himself into the managers job.”
    Where is this nonsense coming from ?

    Editor: Dry yer eyes.

12. The consistent mistakes of KS has gone way beyond a joke.
    Unfortunately when Sinisalo has played this year he hasn’t looked much different so is the coaching also at fault? It looks that way. Otherwise we need a minimum of TWO ‘keepers.
    We are a disaster in midfield too and Bernardo was shocking last night, and we haven’t a proper out-and-out striker. In defence only Araujo looks up to it and Trusty was a disgrace with his ‘safe’ option passing all night and being out of position time after time.
    But central to all of it was Peter Lawwell and the Irish golfing leech actively weakening the squad over the last half dozen windows or more. My take on the protest was shock and horror. We need to protest but I just don’t see what that could EVER achieve. Mass demos outside the front entrance and get their addresses and protest outside them too and gridlock their streets.
    We’re living through a nightmare created by Desmond and Lawwell. Their appointees are ‘toom tabards’ and only their to take instructions so they must be hunted out of CP and never replaced by similar fleas.
    If this is a bit incoherent then it’s because I’m struggling to cope with all of it which need NEVER have arisen in the 1st place.

13. I think that when we gat a THASHING in one of The Sevco games (and we will in one) that Martin should tell them to Fu*k off and save his reputation…

    That will be the spark that lights the gasometer for sure !
