Is Celtic’s board completely out of touch with its supporters?

petercassidy8543h ago

Has the board actually got anyone with football back ground . The club needs a complete overhaul from the management side down to how the football side is run. And then there is dated staidium really that also needs a complete overhaul I did the tour last year I could not believe how shabby the trophy room was its stuck in 1980 style.

King Kenny makes it to number 39 on TalkingPoints' 50 best footballers of all time! Is that a fair ranking? 👀🍀

madmick88723h ago

I would say yes in world ranking but in British top Ten.

tmcq502d ago

Having saw Kenny play for Celtic, Liverpool and Scotland he should be much higher than that, the problem is that the majority voting are young and never saw the great man play. If it was down to me he's top 10 easily he was a fabulous footballer it's laughable he's that low down.

How do you now feel about Celtic's decision to let Stephen Welsh leave?! 🤔

He impressed on his Scotland debut 💪

Typical from our useless board, but apparently MON didn't fancy him😱😱😱

paddy7d ago

Welsh was simply not good enough. I’ve no idea why we keep coming back to this.

jimmy1888.cfc7d ago

He was a good servant but obviously was losing faith when he had a good season a few years back and they then brought in garbage to replace him happens all the time with academy players they leave celtic and get games like calum on loan and scales on loan and Christie on loan some come back improved some just keep getting farmed back out but good luck

What did you make of Carter-Vickers’ comments? Is Sutton correct or was the defender simply telling the truth? 🤔

jonf60676d ago

Remove Martin O'Neill from the equation and our coaching staff hardly set the Heather on fire. Whatever the coaching staff are doing the style we're known for isnt there, the fitness isnt there.. we seem incapable of playing thru a high press, consistently give away the ball under no pressure. in the final third don't seem to able to put in a decent cross

jasbarr85717d ago

Sutton sees no wrong from his former boss.The coaching is very suspect, tactics are rigid and fitness levels seem short of what is required.

Sutton is so far off the mark here it's unreal. CCV was simply giving an honest account of what EVERY Celtic fan can see. Sutton has had a nightmare here.

What is your REACTION to these comments from Michael Nicholson?

Is there anything you believe Celtic actually got right in the summer?

paddy2d ago

Shambles

mmaca19587d ago

The way things have been at the club in terms of fan/club relationship, there must be question marks around who would want to manage there. I am at the point where I would take Robbie Keane but I know that a lot people would be strongly against it. Lets be honest though, is there anyone out there who could unite us right now. I'm not so sure anymore 😕

fiercegayle479d ago

Our board are so slow that even when they get things right in certain areas you just know they'll mess up in other ways. For example we make four great quality signings they were late but we got them in. Then rather than continuing in that vein as soon as Lask knock us out of the champions league they revert to type and sign more loans than a bank.

After pulling out of the Scotland squad, would retiring from international football help prolong Kieran Tierney's Celtic career?

Tell us why you think he should/shouldn't retire

mrcrobo608d ago

Yes , unlike Scales whose international career should now finish his Celtic one after he was one of those voted to play that game against israel especially as he had a choice .

araff619d ago

I thought he had retired from football, returned to us just to top up his pension. At least thats what it looks like from my seat.

It's his opinion and he could be right but there are many layers to the issues at Celtic right now, and the hierarchy do not appear to have the skills required to work through them. It's a complete shambles in so many ways. It is good to be able to comment on it here without the toxicity of most social media platforms HH

Martin O'Neill casts doubt on his future as Celtic boss 👇 What do YOU want the board to do?!

lynnlogan6210d ago

true fully I don't know what's going on Martin is telling the team to get forward and the players keep playing back or sideways there to slow at getting forward use your wingers and keep putting the ball in the box maybe it's time for a clear out

martinmcgrory812d ago

I think McGregor needs to be dropped as he constantly slows up play in. midfield, things need to be more dynamic in midfield and his legs have gone.

Why do you think Celtic's form has nosedived in recent weeks?

Performances and results are getting worse 😤

jimmy1888.cfc7d ago

Its just a blip the players will learn from it and the new players will know now what this club means to us just because we lost 3 games in a week once the new boys get up to speed I think we will destroy teams also think O'Neil should start using the 3-5-2 from his first era with Duran getting knock downs from hogh

lynnlogan6210d ago

There not playing as a team they sit back and let teams come at them they keep playing back and get caught out playing out from the back everyone knows where the pass is going and closes us down we're to slow at going forward just boot the ball up y let the forwards and wingers go for it put the other team under pressure

paul_quinn715d ago

My thoughts are this; Martin is not a coach. He’s a motivator and leaves training to his coaching staff. Martin is gets reports from Maloney. Martin picks the team and formations based on that intel. The team are poorly coached, look unfit and the tactics are poor. Exactly what he did at Hibs and Wigan. Get Maloney out.
