Opinion – Football has moved on and left the Celtic Board behind | OneFootball

This board are not fit for purpose, and there should be resignations submitted immediately. It’s the honourable thing to do after the transfer window fiasco that they have put us through and the weakened state that they have left Brendan Rodgers; squad in after a shambles of a summer…

Yet another transfer window has passed and we’ve all been left with that ever so familiar feeling of anger and disappointment, as we find our squad much weaker than when the window opened for business.

Those championing for the board will point to the fact we’ve brokered deals for no fewer than 11 new players but that doesn’t tell the whole entire sorry saga.

Only a fraction of those players can be considered first team ready players, and once again we were made to look like fools as we frantically scrambled around on the last day searching for much needed quality, and ended up scraping through the bargain shelf, despite raking in almost £25 million in transfer fees.

We failed to replace Kyogo in January, and once again failed to put that right, we even sold Adam Idah without replacing him! Nicolas Kuhn is also gone as the creativity and goal threat is ripped from the heart of our attack. You couldn’t make it up, we are a complete and utter shambles, and heads must roll.

It’s clear for anyone to see that our squad is weak and in need of urgent reinforcements, but once again those in charge turned a blind eye to what was needed.

Michael Nicholson, Chris McKay and our illustrious chairman Peter Lawwell are nothing more than incompetents, football has moved on and they have failed to keep up and to many they only seem interested in what they can accomplish for themselves by increasing yet again the Celtic PLC bank balance.

The Kasper Dolberg saga is a perfect example. Wait until the last minute and low ball the selling club and player, before another club ultimately swoops in. We were even turned down by a Chelsea fringe player in favour of Charlton Athletic! It’s certainly not a good look this morning. And poor old Yang! You have to feel for him.

It’s time for a change of direction, we need a complete overhaul of the board and bring in some much needed fresh faces who are not only competent, but are ambitious and will take the club forward.

We are currently a laughing stock, and understandably so. No Celtic supporters are laughing this morning. Change is badly needed, and those in charge if they have any shred of self respect, should be doing the honourable thing and resigning with immediate effect.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
