…….We’re on THAT road again, we’re on our way, to……well, nowhere really.
So after a few days of some serious thinking, I am still stuck under that rumbling cloud of thunder, and no, not the good type either.
A couple of points still sticking clear to the front of my mind. Saturdays game at Rugby park was a shambles,nothing less than that. Folk say “aye,but we did ok…it was fine in the second half…..we are still gonna win this league by 15 points,don’t panic we still have 20odd games or so to go”…..garbage…..utter garbage.
How many people didn’t give Lenny a hope in hell of coming away with a result on sat….answers?…..come on now,have to rush you,time is ticking……..yes its ticking,and running out big time on Celtic by the day.
I like many more all said this was lennons Mowbray moment,and feared the game was up for him before halftime,sky sports news were already planning their evening of Lennon bashing as the drama unfolded at Rugby park.
Had it stayed 3-0,Lennon would’ve been out of a job, fact. Comng back from 3-0 down to claim a draw anywhere in football,especially away from home, that deserves tremendous applause,but it doesn’t change the fact we were bloody awful,it doesn’t change the fact the team played badly,it doesn’t help in the quest of destroying the runaway leaders grip on what will be,as it stands…4IAR. If things aren’t going well ON the park, you can bet your beloved green and White scarf,hat and replica top that it certainly isnt going well OFF the park.
Now let me explain. I’m not going to sit here and patronise anyone or make anyone out to look foolish, I am well aware that most Celtic fans know that things aren’t as they seem at Celtic.
Firstly we have a chairman stepping down,who in my opinion was never a celtic man,and since his arrival we haven’t won a league title, I will let you finish that statement as you wish. We also have a chief executive who seems to be getting fatter every year,and that’s only just his pockets. He is good at balancing the books,an his bank balance,but he doesn’t seem to have what it takes to take that to the next level and bring in guys who want the jersey,as well as a slightly better contract than what Celtic can offer.
We have,as I commented on a couple of weeks ago, we have….5 of the top 100 richest men in british football on our board of directors…..FIVE,more than any other club,more than man utd or man city,and more than RANGERS,you know,that little club across the way,that have no money and seem to be taking us on a merry dance….yeah..that one,got it in one……….yet,we can’t even seem to get a guy who hasn’t kicked a ball down in the premier league for over a year,to even join up for a training session,yes I do mean mr McFadden.
It’s because of these fat cats on the board that we are in this mess,yes it’s down to Lennon to get it right on the park,and ultimately the players,but in my opinion Lennon hasn’t had enough investment,yes he’s been given funds for a whole new team basically. A couple of million here,500 grand there, pack of starburst and a bottle of gingy there. Celtic couldnt sign ONE of their major targets,not one,if there really were any. We need investment,we need to be ale to sign at least 2 players of a robbie keane/Craig Bellamy standard,guys with a track record fir being proven good at what they do. I guess it doesnt need to be a big name,but there are guys on th continent who are maybe worth 5 or 6 million who are doing fantastically well for themselves and other clubs are taking notice,while we miss that ship again and again.
Now I set up this topup tims thing on facebook and twitter and others, theidea wasn’t to insult fans who already pay over the odds for season tickets and other Celtic related items, the idea was simply to offer fans who believe that guys like mr Desmond who have billions in the bank and does nothing with it for our club, the idea was to give fans that control back,ultimately wiping him out,telling him to go, we obviously don’t need your money,cos we never see it,so go,we can do it ourselves.
That’s the idea behind it,for fans to put in whatever they can afford,for arguments sake we just say £20,if we had a million Celtic fans around the world contributing that one payment of £20 a season I to a topup tims thing,we would have £20 millio. Sitting in the bank each year to bring in a Craig Bellamy,a guy who may or may not help improve th steam and win the spl. We shouldn’t really have to go to that kind of length to bring success in,but hey,like we said its only an option,just an alternative. Go to our forums and read up more on it I’d you wish. But we are on that road again…to nowhere,we need to change direction before the name Celtic on the spl rapidly changes direction to the bottom six.
