Celtic Diary Monday January 25: The Empire Has Crumbled… From Within

When I say crumbled, what I mean is disintegrated completely.

 

Whatever it was that propelled Celtic to a period of domestic domination previously unheard of and almost certainly never to be repeated has long gone. Maybe it was complacency, maybe the bright young club/company across the city really have improved to a level where they can now be considered a serious long term rival.

 

Or maybe we brought it all on ourselves, maybe we did make the wrong choice not only in management, but in the style of management.

 

The Dubai trip didn’t go down to well with the support, not least because it came on the back of a defeat at Ibrox, and not least becuase it happened during a time when most of us are confined to barracks on a reduced income, forbidden from seeing loved ones , sometimes, sadly even as they experience their last days on earth.

 

The complete disregard, however, for what the support thought is unacceptable, and with stories of misbehaviour and abuse of protocols beginning to reach us, what is surprising, and quite telling, is that none of us were surprised, such is the lack of professionalism at the club these days.

 

It’s not that important that one player was carried to bed, if you believe this tittle tattle, too drunk to do anything , or that a senior player and a member of the management team were also incapable of even making training.

 

It’s not important or relevant if its true that three players went to a nightclub and two of them came back with covid.

 

It’s not important that there are rumours of young players being bullied by more established hands, although frankly having seen the established hands perform on the pitch that has to be doubted, as most of us would agree we have had harder slaps off our mothers.

 

 

What is relevant is that all of these stories are believable, and because of the way this season has gone, because of the hands off approach adopted by the management , they cannot be dismissed out of hand.

 

 

Which means in itself, regardless of any veracity in the stories, that its time for change.

 

Not at the end of the season, not after we identify whoever’s turn it is next to swallow up bookmakers money.

 

Now.

 

Today, in fact.

 

If it means putting someone in temporary charge, then that should be the case. It’s not like he could do any worse anyway.

 

And at least the players would know that the problems are being dealt with.

 

At least then the support could breathe a sigh of relief that this nightmare is coming to an end.

 

for most of us, Celtic are the one constant in our lives. There from cradle to grave, and when it is abused we want to see it defended.

 

 

Right now, Celtic are a shambles, and every day the removal of the current management is delayed, is making it harder to get things back on track.

 

What is also curious is that the media haven’t pounced on these tales, for its highly unlikely they haven’t heard them. Perhaps they really do act on the whims and wishes of our illustrious fiddle playing CEO.

 

Maybe they don’t have any proof, though the truth has never been a major factor in of most of their other revelations.

 

 

Or maybe they quite like a weakened Celtic, because a genuine rivalry with the new club is a money spinner.

 

I’ve even thought of a name for that.

 

The Old Firm.

Competition makes you stronger, if you raise to it. I respect the SPL, but their lack of funds give us a huge advantage. Our lack of foresight, by that I mean Bankier and Lawwell, stubbornness and lack of imagination, Dubai worked until this year??? Out of touch, the desperate attempts by sevco unmatched by, yes, complacency, a refusal to budge and continuing to take the money, all of the board and as history repeats itself until we learn, the shower that Jock put right and the shower the bonnet caused changes to. Now we need more. Sevco still are behind us cash wise, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will spend every penny and more from next seasons Euro Champs earnings absolutely determined to get ahead and to stay there. The current board will just churn out the same pish. If you cost me over 250 millions from 5 out of 7 failures to qualify for the crรจme of Euro competition with the TV money and gates and merchandise, if I were not allowed to have you shot, at least I would have you removed. You are quite right, a complete shambles. Always taking the easy option and forgetting the JFK quote so proudly displayed at Celtic Park. โ€˜We do it not because it is easy, but because it was hard.โ€™ How I wish a genius like JFK were on our board. He saved the world from being nuked and brought so much to the table of this world. Our board? No foresight, no ambition, no idea. And any new boutique manager will only be this years boutique wallpaper. It is not just Lawwell who must go, but all who are having a far too easy life and happy for it to continue and thank goodness the Celtic support are letting Lawwell know what they think of his meagre pish excuses. HH!

Football as an industry is unlike normal business. If a business goes bust, its customers go elsewhere, if a football club goes bust its supporters dont.

Unlike normal business football clubs depend entirely on other clubs existing in order to exist, a microcosm of humanity really , which humanity forgets by and large and so football is perceived through that fog of forgetfulness..

The term to cover football as an industry is that it is interdependent but to work clubs have to stick to the rules or risk putting the industry in jeopardy.

Rangers did that but what made matters worse was not just interdependency but codependency.

The dictionary definition of that is:

Codependent relationships signify a degree of unhealthy clinginess, where one person doesnโ€™t have self-sufficiency or autonomy,โ€ says Scott Wetzler, PhD, psychology division chief at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. โ€œOne or both parties depend on their loved ones for fulfillment.โ€ Anyone can become codependent

I think that is a factor not covered sufficiently in the theories put forward but once factored in makes Celticโ€™s position as a business clearer vis a vis โ€œRangersโ€

How much does codependency spill into the support is a question only each individual can answer, but my complaint about Celtic is their total failure to recognise and deal with the toxic nature of the relationship they went at lengths to protect without making any attempt to change the relationship into an interdependent one where the rules are followed.

Funnily enough, although the point seems to have been missed by some, but in Res11 (not 12 ) at 2020 AGM Celtic stated they would engage with the relevant authorities on the abandonment of the Judicial Panel Disciplinary Tribunal that charged Rangers with non compliance with UEFA licence in 2011, thatโ€™s right where the rules the game depends on were set aside.

For Celtic not to tackle the rules abandonment issue is to doom us into a continuing toxic codependent relationship. All the more reason to keep the pressure on you would think.

At my first Open Meeting in St Maryโ€™s in 2010 I stood beside Mark McGees Magic Eyeliner from CQN and on hearing feedback from the Chair on Celticโ€s stance on an issue, we both said at same time โ€ Celtic need to grow a setโ€ (of ballsโ€.)

That is even more apt now, but that cannot be done by the man who kept the unhealthy relationship alive and has shown during Res12 years no real appetite for a fight. Plenty of handbag waving but no bare knuckle.

Not only should Celtic be moving out of codependency as a matter of policy, they should actively be taking every step possible to ensure rules are applied. How can they ask supporters to renew if rules are not enforced?

Given this is in every clubs interest to see happen as they get humped every week, this is where Celtic need to be active on reform and if that means a more equitable sharing of the income Scottish football does generate, would that be a bad thing to become a healthy club we enjoy supporting free of toxicity

I can vouch for the codependent explanation here. Though thereโ€™s usually a merry dance of narcissism v codependency. Listening to a Celtic state of mind podcast. Thereโ€™s an interview with some tony guy, a journalist with Celtic leanings ( so he says) heโ€™s claiming Celtic have been a reactionary club as opposed to being a visionary club. Using the argument that our position of strength shouldโ€™ve been bolstered with a vision of whatโ€™s going to unfold if you donโ€™t make the right decisions. We have historically reacted when the club has been put in a position like we are currently in. We shouldnโ€™t be here, hopefully a good manager is in place. We seem to have this 20 year gap of having a good manager.

The Tony guy is 100% Tim. He was in my lads class at school and helped fill the odd gap in the 5s on a Sunday morning. Always played in the hoops.

He is right that Celtic have always been reactive but this time they have a blue pound narrative to overcome and it will need to be really good to persuade folk it isn’t another quick fix but a change of dependency. Telling the truth about the fix their co-dependent partner put them in would be a start.

It is clear that there has been a lack of professionalism for a while, if the stories about the Dubai trip are accurate (it wouldnโ€™t surprise me) then it is an absolute disgrace after the shambolic performances this season.

Sevco are everything we arenโ€™t at present……..professional, well organised, playing well as a TEAM, they have hunger and desire, are miles clear at the top and poised to make more progress in Europe. My genuine fear is they strengthen further and qualify for next seasons UCL, between that and selling one or two players their debt will be under control. e.g. They wouldnโ€™t even miss Morelos now if they cashed in for say ยฃ12m

I see there are rumours of a hefty (ยฃ30m) bid for Edouard, if the bid is made I would drive him to the airport as this season is a complete write off and we would be lucky to get ยฃ20m in the Summer window anyway. Eddie hasnโ€™t looked interested this year, he and other players will leave so maximise income for a major rebuild.

Everything about forward planning at the club is pathetic, journeymen players are signed at crazy money/salary. Players believe they are bigger than the club, look at the latest rant from Leigh, he did well in lockdown, Brown has become a parody of the player he was. As for Lenny (we get the, he is a true Celtic man) he is incapable of learning and too a certain extent he has been lucky at Paradise, first tenure, the death of RFC, second hand over from the Brenda. His first stay was poor, shocking losses in the Cups look at his record, but every dog has his day, Barca and Lazio too few to count.
The CEO has picked up megabucks but unlike the bunnet, till recently he has been praised as he let the SS Celtic drift towards the rocks. If there is no immediate change at Parkhead next season could be a disaster, as for renewals, yes there is a queue, but the performance/presentation of the club to season ticket holders and other supporters is pathetic.
Money is tight because of the Covoid, Lawell better realise that, also there is a bigger football world out there, not just the mankies.

I too am baffled by this shocking, catastrophic even, decline in standards both on and off the field. Clearly, the strategy the Board are now following is to try and hold the fort with what we’ve got and rebuild in the bright, new, post-covid summer. This compacency and acceptance of defeat and ordinariness is scandalous and depressing. How did it come about? I read on CQN the view that Lenny is only sticking around out of loyalty to the players and not to squeeze a pay off out of the board – I’ve never read such shite in all my life. It is clear that the players have no faith in him and that he is one of the main causes of our pathetic showing (the primary cause being the Board’s decision to appoint him in the first place). He shouldn’t just be paid off, he should be run out of town like in one of those old westerns. The situation we are in now should not have come to be – it makes no sense at all. None. It is either due to the most incredible incompetence, lack of discipline and bad luck, or, and I’m coming round to this view, it has been, say, half engineered to keep the “Old Firm” alive and kicking so that the two-team, deadly rivals, business model can be milked for a few more decades. I think the Board have played their hand very badly indeed. They are lucky that no spectators are allowed – then I’m sure it would be a lot more than temporary fences getting pushed over. I really don’t think the owners, players and officials at Celtic quite realise what low opinions we now have of them. How on earth did we sink so low?

You know itโ€™s not that. Itโ€™s continually refusing to build from a position of strength, the continued failure in Europe, the continued downsizing and disconnect from the fans and the spectacular implosion that did not need to happen. Being beaten is a fact of football just the same as greed and mismanagement. Stein, Shankly, Busby and Clough knew who mattered and on this Burns Day, so did Tommy. Agree with your last paragraph.

Indeed, the Empire has crumbled from within. Because its Emperor caused it to crumble and to disintegrate. The question is.. when did he cross the Rubicon and into the mayhem of ‘Old Firmism’?some time before 2009 I would wager when his cohorts sought out his help and expertise.
He led the honest men down an unmarked dusty road at their great expense to muddy the waters of his dishonesty. His army consisted of like minded fellows drawn from governing bodies the SFA – SPL and our adversaries. They have plundered all the honesty from Scottish football to our enemies advantage, this legionary is very disheartened by it all. All Empires and Emperor’s fall mainly because of the Emperor’s corruption and his Empire is no different, all of this is evidenced and in the public domain, when he looks back on all of this he should be ashamed, but it takes someone special to turn his back on his roots, to pillage his club and its support, they I am certain will be glad to see the back of him and his cohorts, there’s only so much sh!te that you can take.

I have to agree that our downfall is of our own making by which I mean Board, Manager and players. The unwillingness to tackle one of the biggest sporting scandals in British sport history is a major part of it. The perception that Scotland need an โ€œOld Firmโ€ and the lack of vision from our Board to move beyond that is another part of it. The ability for one club to spend endlessly with money they apparently donโ€™t have and continue to trade while effectively insolvent is another and is related to my first point. At the end of the day our club has beaten itself. Our Board our CEO and our manager have their heads in the sand as we get worse every week. The team has gone unless we object to an insolvent club – still a technicality – need wholesale change at the top. Life got too comfortable.

There is no conspiracy. Just a total collapse by a playing squad , being guided and coached by the wrong manager and staff.
Players are blowing out their arse after an hour. The fitness regime is shocking. 5 million for a striker who is still unfit 6 months later.
We played the huns at Celtic park October, we had threw away a 3-2 lead at Pittodrie to draw 3-3.. A win against them would have put us top with a game in hand. Just think.
How the huns would have suffered.
From then melt down. No this is not the fault of the board wanting a strong rangers, this lies at the feet of Lenny, he had the players he just wasn’t good enough tactically.
He should be gone .
So stop the nonsense and conspiracy theory, we have a manager well by his sell by date.

Do you have any evidence that they are ‘trading while insolvent’?

Its a phrase that gets bandied about a lot on the Timternet but it has a specific legal meaning eg inability to cover losses, pay bills etc.

They may make big losses and defer bill payments but while mugs like Park etc cover the losses and eventually pay the bills then they’re not insolvent.

Yes, its probably not long-term sustainable but that won’t save the 10 nor will it stop them to doing 2IAR etc if we don’t get out shit together.

The Pantomime season continues in Scottish football.
“The Club and company are separate”, Oh no they are not. When a club incorporates it becomes a company.
Lord Nimmo Smith said, “*Rangers FC continues to exist”, No, he never did say that, instead he was clarifying the definition of a football club.
*Rangers membership was transferred to New-co”, its the same club”. Utter drivel. Just follow, follow the yella brick road to the Celtic Boardroom, open the safe and view the 5Way Agreement which says all that you need to know of the sleekitness of all the plotters , watch out though because if you do not know the code, it will self destruct and blow you and the 5Way Agreement up.
And the prize for the funnies act in this panto goes to:” Sevco Scotland bought *Rangers history,” hahaha a comedy classic. This pantomime production was produced by Stewart Regan, Campbell Ogilvie, Neil Doncaster, Bryson and many others, to numerous to recall, aided by the Celtic Board.
But don’t mention it because its a secret, its called “Going For 55”, a better laugh than ‘Still Game’.

There’s no argument from me, to any of what you said in both your posts, except perhaps your ‘incompetents’ remark. Because you see I don’t think they are incompetent, its much worse than that. I find it hard to hold back on accusations of their corruption, perhaps complicit is a softer version of corruption. I cannot get my head around the constant supply of inferior players coming into the club. Yes there has been some really good players, but they are the exception. Same with the managers,the most important piece of the team jigsaw, for every good professional one there is – 3-4 bad appointments. He must go ASAP, Lawwell that is, taking Lennon with him, that must happen before the team can heal and be run like it should be…

Itโ€™ll be hard to remove Lennon at the moment, what, with his tongue firmly wedged up Lawwellโ€™s fat crack. Lennon is a disgrace.

Mind Mikey Johnston coming of the park and him saying to him, to, F.O. if that’s not bullying then what is. I just think that we all have to suck it up until the summer and then perhaps they too can GTF. if not? nothing changes, except it would change because season tickets would need to be renewed, no change, no season ticket renewal.

Says the pussy who vilified and came away with all sorts of derogatory remarks about our former manager. Lennon has out stayed his welcome .You are a supposed fan of Celtic, certainly not a supporter, but your posts of Lennon pictures with the GIRFUY says a lot about how much of a trolling wind up merchant you are. Fvck you, you despicable piece of shit. If Lennon was a real Celtic man heโ€™d have stuck to his words he stated back in November and done the honourable thing, instead heโ€™s blaming everyone and everything else for his own limited abilities and his continual arse licking of a board you apparently despise and basic ridiculing of the support is doing the man no favours.

I may well be a prick of the highest order, but at least Iโ€™m not a sad scrote that revels in failure. Self entitled , moi? Most certainly not. Deluded, moi? Definitely not, but if youโ€™re meaning that I want the very best for my club and not some piss poor excuse of a football coaching department wreaking havoc, then call me deluded all you want.

So no acknowledgement why Rodgers.left when he did? But there was always that poor option available to the wonderful board of misdirection within the walls of Celtic Park and what we witness now is the handy work of Lawwell and his little lap dog Lennon.
Youโ€™re obviously a happy man. Lennon has and always will be a player and…cough …manager that I never had any time for. That is my prerogative, so fvck you hun.

Given โ€˜14 years of his lifeโ€™ you say that as if itโ€™s a chore? A job most of us would do for free had made him a millionaire several times over.

If only he had signed for the huns that time he went over for talks and was pictured at Ibrox. If he had we would probably getting ready for 11 in a row this season.

Heโ€™s ruined any legacy he had created and replaced it with what we have. A fat alcoholic man who is trolling the support โ€˜he lovesโ€™ with every word he speaks

If it is the talked about ยฃ11.5 million transfer fee, great money for a full back who can’t cross a ball!!

Ask yourself why someone would pay that, but hey, like your treatment of James Forrest you probably donโ€™t understand that with good professional coaching, you can turn a good player into something else entirely.

Or maybe just an EU national wanting to go back and play in the EU as he doesn’t feel wanted in the UK anymore!!

Frimpongs confidence has went.
The free flowing youngster a shadow of his debut games.
The smile gone and a player frightened now to taje players on.
Too fast and too good probably fir the bullies in our club to take.
A manager not capable of bringing out the best in players.
Has his own inner sanctuary with Brown McGregor and Christie.
Christie is a terrible team player
Continually chooses the wrong option and shoots from impossible positions.
Not one player brought to the club has improved under lennon and this coaching team.
The fitness gone.
There was no conspiracy to stop 10 ffs. There didn’t need to be.
We went to play the huns in October at home. We had drawn with Aberdeen 3_3 the week before leading 3-2 and he made stupid subs. Costing us all 3 points and a chance to go top of the league.
We then played the huns and lost but it was only a 4 point gap. With us having a game in hand.
Now please tell me where the conspiracy is at this point of the season.
Its just a bad fuckin manager and a board of directors who have simply spat the fuckin dummy out in not listening to the fans.
If there was a conspiracy then it was to appoint Neil lennon full time.

Frimpongs confidence has went.
A player who took players on now looking to cut inside or play the pass instead of the courage he showed when he first came.
Bad management at its best
Good luck wee man. Your career needs to be saved.

Revolutionary Idea!!! Let’s beat Hamilton!!! Let’s beat them by at least 5-0! Let’s not huff and puff. Play Hazard on goals. Play Taylor at left back. Here goes:
Hazard
Ajer/Welsh/Bitton/Taylor
Soro
Christie/McGregor
Turnbull
Edouard/Griffiths if not Edouard, Elyounoussi.
If we have any pride left, let’s play for it. These players owe us fans big time and Hamilton at home is surely not too tough. What a feckin farce. Lenny, you’re becoming our version of Trump! Go now and take your lackeys with you. Lawwell can go as well. Let Broony take over the club until we can get someone else in. 10 in a row has now become avoiding 10 no wins in a row!

Why would be not play Taylor? Laxalt is woeful and still scratching my head as to why AC Milan signed him.

highseastim. And Barkas, Klimala,Duffy, Ajeti etc. Laxalt playing means we lose.Check the record. Why is Barkas playing? Because Lenny has been ordered to play him. Call the season, give the title to Sevco (they’ve earned it) and begin afresh next year with a new manager and coaching staff.

I would NEED to point out that apathetic Celtic FC ‘fans’, whom speak loud and do nothing, are why PTL can do what he does without accountability; I suppose that’s ‘heaven’ for a grossly over-paid accountant?
NFL is now so compromised he HAS to ‘spiel’ for Lawwell.
Lawwell’s so compromised he cannot face/tell the Truth.
Celtic FC 2021, just what the fuxx is going on?
THE TIME FOR CHANGE WAS ‘YESTERDAY’, the time for action’s NOW.

I can, and will, provide evidence of historic cheating but it’s ESSENTIAL that the Tim ‘family’ acts like a family.
On another note, ‘Ping Pong’ has gone “good piece of ‘business’ says the manager, not the DoF who arranged it?
BUT, we’re after some *star* from PNE on a freebie in the Summer?\
AYE, NOT OK, not fuxxing close.
I predict that Lawwell and Lennon will be with us until we rise up, and be proud Tims again.
