As some of you might already have seen, above is a list of players who have either already left or should leave the club. Now before anyone gets their knickers in a twist this list is NOT up for negotiation.<\/p>\n

Nah seriously, of course it is. It\u2019s a subject for discussion. Some might even take offence at using the word \u201cDEADWOOD\u201d. Come on folks it\u2019s a word I use in mirth. No offence was ever intended.<\/p>\n

You see the thing is we are told( so shut and listen and hand over yer cash) by The Great and Powerful all Knowing (Part time Director of Football) Wizard of all things Celtic PLC that is Peter Lawwell (All bow down before your master) that we do NOT need to overhaul the squad.<\/p>\n

I beg to differ.<\/p>\n

We are being told that a new age of AUSTERITY is sweeping in to Celtic Park. I think we\u2019ve seen this movie before. All due to the overspending by, he who\u2019s name shall not be mentioned, Brendan. Ooops. You know the guy that had that held all sway over everything at Celtic, including the Biscuit tin. Unfortunately for those who are spinning this line, yes that\u2019s you Peter Lawwell, we ain\u2019t swallowing it.<\/p>\n

All spending was authorised by YOU. You are the one who controls everything at Celtic. There is no shifting of blame. Res12 anyone?<\/p>\n

I always use this to little analogy to best describe Peter Lawwell.<\/p>\n

His philosophy is best summed up like this.<\/p>\n

Two men are cornered by a Lion.<\/p>\n

One puts on a pair of running shoes.<\/p>\n

The other man says, \u201cThey won\u2019t help you escape the Lion\u201d.<\/p>\n

He replies, \u201cI only need to outrun you\u201d.<\/p>\n

To cross my metaphors, \u201cA Leopard NEVER changes its spots\u201d.
\nSo Mr Duplicitus Maximus we are on the march towards a historic 10-in-a-row and you decide to downgrade us to just above SEVCO and the rest of the SPFL, well we are not having it.<\/p>\n

If you are allowed to get away with this your legacy will be not only the man who refused to act on the irrefutable evidence of Res12,\u00a0 but the man responsible for throwing away 10-in-a-row.<\/p>\n

Some legacy.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Unforgivable<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Time for us fans to start \u201cCracking the Whip\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
