Some cried for his sacking at Celtic, much more than some could endure<\/p>\n

But the departure of one Ronny Deila was only a part of the cure<\/p>\n

Look at crowds here on match days, they used to be double in size<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the board that needs sacking at Celtic to give us back our Paradise.<\/p>\n

They have to please the shareholders, it\u2019s them they have to appease<\/p>\n

But the ultimate cost is to Celtic, our Club is being dragged to its knees.<\/p>\n

By investing in notable players we can only reap what we sow<\/p>\n

We all sing from the same Celtic bible but your hymn sheet is never on show<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no heart, no direction, no passion, what\u2019s the future for all our young fans<\/p>\n

These youngsters need heroes to worship or we\u2019ll never see them in our stands<\/p>\n

But you don\u2019t care if Parkhead\u2019s half empty; season tickets have already been sold<\/p>\n

And you don\u2019t care if the staff\u2019s paid a pittance, our money men only see gold.<\/p>\n

Thirteen years since we reach Europe\u2019s final, we haven\u2019t built on since Seville<\/p>\n

Gone are those great days of Celtic, gone are the players who thrilled.<\/p>\n

Today I saw us League Champions, winning our fifth in a row<\/p>\n

But with five more to go for the record, that\u2019s a helluva long way to go.<\/p>\n

The fans have dug deep in their pockets, sometimes going without what they need<\/p>\n

But you\u2019ve got a worldwide family to balance our books with your greed.<\/p>\n

We may never win Europe\u2019s big trophy but we should, at least, be allowed to compete<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re embarrassed by those we rely on who lead us to endless defeats.<\/p>\n

You tell us we\u2019ll break all the records but all you\u2019re doing\u2019s breaking our hearts<\/p>\n

This Club we\u2019ve all loved since our childhood is slowly being taken apart<\/p>\n

We\u2019re the fans and we\u2019re Celtic\u2019s lifeblood, you\u2019re just papering over the cracks<\/p>\n

Your arrogance is proving your ignorance, we\u2019ve seen the results in your facts<\/p>\n

We need representation in standards, those which appeal to the hordes<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for a clear-out at Celtic, not just players and staff but the board.<\/p>\n

Your self-built pedestal is ready to crash, you need to listen to all of the fans<\/p>\n

Or invest in what it means to be Celtic and you\u2019ll soon see packed Paradise stands.<\/p>\n
