One of the quirky parts from the Minutes of the meeting between the Celtic Fans Collective and the club was a claim that Brian Wilson appeared disengaged in the discussion.
It came towards the end of the meeting on February 18.
Wilson has been faking his man of the people act over the last two months centering around four claims for unity between the supporter sand the club.
As we found out in the Minutes Wilson has no authority to deliver on anything. His function is to relay messages onto Executives in the club who will then make decisions.
Wilson wasn’t at the meeting with the Collective on October 6 and seemed unaware of what happened.
He had no idea about the commitment made by Michael Nicholson to creating a Fan Advisory Board. Fan Media was an item on the agenda, Wilson had no idea who imposed the ban.
CHAIRMAN WILSON HAS NO AUTHORITY
It appears that the Celtic Chairman prefers talks about talks rather than getting things done.
At the meeting Celtic agreed to submit Minutes by close of play on February 20. They failed to do so.
Monday 23 passed without any Minutes being sent from the club. The Collective then submitted their minutes to the club who replied with their version with large areas missing.
Finally at12.30 on February 24 the Collective published their Minutes.
The overwhelming verdict from supporters was that there was no inclination from the club to have a better relationship.
The meeting was a box ticking exercise by the club. With Wilson having no authority to make any decisions or promises.
Wilson’s doodling exploits were discussed in the Four Tims and a podcast.
Picking up on Wilson at the meeting, 29 minutes 20 seconds
There is a bit in it (the Minutes) about how Brian Wilson came over as disengaged in the discussion.
Just to paint the picture for people of what is meant by that. Towards the end of the discussion there was chat going on, we were trying to break through to them that we don’t want to be in this position, we don’t want to have a repeat (protests) at Stuttgart.
We want to move on from that, to start to make progress. Ultimately we don’t want any further protests, we don’t want to be asking people not to go to games, throw balls on the pitch.
Whatever it might be and the whole time Brian Wilson is just sitting doodling in his notepad. Sitting, not giving a f**k, essentially saying ‘why the f**k do I need to be here’.
Doodling away on his own notepad. He sad ‘sorry, it is just a bad habit’ when he was called out on it.
That’s what you are up against with these people. We’ve said it a million times, it is going to take areal united fan base to get on with this.
Wilson, Nicholson and Chris McKay are currently enjoying a junket to Stuttgart. Carefully looking to avoid any contact with anti-establishment fans.
Tomorrow marks four months since the resignation of Brendan Rodgers.
There is no evidence that the club has made any inroads towards appointing a manager after Nicholson’s first choice, Wilfried Nancy, bombed after 33 days.

Does Brian Wilson have the interest of Celtic at heart?
YES- lives and breathes Celtic 24/7. True Celtic man
NO- self interest only. 100% a career politician. Me me me
I watched champions league highlights on BBC last night and I can say this kairat done us an almighty favour.
Those teams playing in it even the lesser ones would have wiped the floor with us.I watched fast attacking football played on the front foot,shots at goal from all angles and distances,which are all alien to us that’s where this shower of charlatans of a board have left us.
I don’t think any SPFL team would do anything in Europe as our league is indeed a diddy league.To those that say Bodo glimt have only won their league twice out the last few years that just tells me the Norwegian league is miles ahead of us and Bodo glimt would skin every team in our league, I watched them take inter Milan apart over 2 legs unbelievable and that that prick Ross Desmond says small teams can’t compete in Europe aye right.
So crowd for the Sunday there against Hibs was just over 58,000 so much for the boycotts and empty stands to hit and get the points over to the board,the only points on Sunday was the 3 we lost.
Fool me once shame on you,fool me twice shame on me or us,and this is what’s happened,with this board and it’s an action replay of what the Whyte’s did with us as well,theses LEECHES are shiting on us and rubbing our noses in it.
Constantly GASLIGHTING the fans big Donald Trump style,putting the FAKE NEWS out there that all is good in the house no issues,no need to spend any money the team is good enough as it is.
I posted previously, infact before Christmas that we would tumble down the league and it’s happening,4th would be the best we can hope for and that’s not guaranteed.
The Motherwell manager is now the level we are,he would probably get us higher up the league but certainly no dominance,this league is finished,done with,and yet the clubs aka ourselves and sevco are charging a fortune top dollar for season books and European packages to watch nickel&dime players get pumped week in week out,if that’s the standard we are watching we should be paying nickel&dimes to watch it nit fortunes.
So you all remember that when it’s renewals time for your season books,oh and remember it’s a rigged game,so leave the football alone and go watch the wrestling,at least we know that’s for fun and who the winner will be,hence the game coming up at the weekend,with they 3 BIGOTS in charge you couldn’t make it up,that’s like leaving an alkie in charge of a pub,it’s a free for all.
A couple of penalties to sevco, a goal or 2 chopped off for us,and 1 or 2 players sent off for us as well.
Editor: There was well under 50,000 attending the Hibs match, well under.
These people have as much right to be running our club as a knight of the realm does being head of the workers party
Inverted world at work
Masons in the boardroom answering to a larger call
Nothing was going to come out of that meeting anyway,
– other than maybe scheduling another meeting with Wilson,
once he had been given feedback from the Executives who can actually make decisions.
The supporters attended that meeting in good faith: that was not reciprocated.
Nobody would blame them if they simply refused to meet any non-exec again,
and insist in only executives in any future meetings?
That would be seem reasonable.
Was he ‘drooling ‘ at the mouth onto his bib with food and wine stains all over his clothes like Sir Les Patterson ? Needing to be ‘chair burped ‘ afterwards …then a nice long nap afterwards ? No worries mate !
You’re right madman mars,as long as the faithful/ gullible fans turn up for games,buy STs nothing will change with this board, when will they ever learn, desmond and co rubbing their hands with glee at full houses.why on this new website have I to put that stupid URL address in every time, even though I press the save button,this gets on my tits,this site has went downhill since it’s upgrade,like the Celtic blog has as well.htt
The poodle doth doodle !!!
