Going on a bit of a ramble here. In the knowledge some of you will put me in my place
We've just won the league again. Won a world record 8th treble, 5 of them the last 10 years. We are witnessing the most successful time in Celtic's history....so I guess calling it the bad old days is a bit much.
My concern is, under Lawwell, we always seem to react to situations instead of getting ahead of them. Whether that be not making signings for the champions league qualifiers, instead, waiting to see how we do with Bitton at CB and if we fail then just sell our best player, at the time, or waiting to see how Sevco are doing before we decide what calibre of manager or players we bring in.
That all changed when Lawwell left the building and AP signed as manager. We were signing world class players before guys had left the club. We had players in the door before the transfer window haf even opened. The last 2 seasons have been the best seasons in my lifetime of seeing how Celtic, the business and Celtic the football club, can work in perfect harmony.
But now I worry that with Pete being back, we are going back to the "bad old days". The news that he was in Istanbul last night fills me with dread that we are going to appoint a rookie manager, who's only experience is working for Pep and failing at Parma. Another from the City Link conveyer belt making his way to Glasgow.
If he does sign, I'd be surprised if Lawwell and the board gave him authority over the signings that are made. Are we going to go back to days of loaning players from his mate Pep at City?
The next manager is going to take over, probably the most valuable Celtic team in history. Are we going to lose Jota, Hatate, and CCV for millions upon millions to see them replaced by loan City youth players?? That's my fear.
Yes, under a rookie, we will probably win silverware. Lennon did it. But this squad was on the cusp of possibly doing something great in Europe. Will Lawwell and the board rip it apart? Do they really want us to leave Sevco, their business partners, for dead.
I've always had the opinion that lawwell and the board wanted to stay just ahead of Sevco. They can't sell the "old firm" brand as a rivalry if its to easy for us.
So with Sevco building a squad from the bargain bucket...have the Celtic board decided to slam their foot on the breaks??
Exactly like we did when Rangers died and their Zombie twin started at the bottom.
Ramble done
Go easy on me please!!
