To be honest I think he's doing a good job at not takin any of the blame for this shit show.....he's shouldn't be above criticism
No doubt about that, 100%, we pay his wages for starters not PL or DD.
We just need to support at this moment of extremes of stress for him. Watching his press conference today and the way he handles the media, even when he is under stress and silly levels of pressure caused by Dembele's immature tweets, the way he handles them and his smiling face is way above average ability. BR really is an impressive communicator.
Being Irish I recognize that he likes to speak a little too much and is a bit too open for his own good at times.
I do not think he is dishonest what so ever (as potentially implied by Dembele), but! the more you speak the more people can twist words for their own end.
For most of us with the habit it is usually no problem, but for him and being in the uk with their gutter press and the love of building up sports celebrities only so as enjoy watch their destruction!
For example, and only in hindsight, BR's talk of McGinn for so long before we had signed him was naïve and then when he upped it to highest level during the early part of this window, all that served it seems now was to alert Aston Villa.
Who ever encouraged and allowed Broony to speak to the media discussing McGinn as if he was our player and how he could play alongside him, was extremely naïve in hindsight. Can only assume they thought the deal was done!
Even Celtic tv asking players who is the best player in the SPFL outwith Celtic is a stupid idea, fine for fans on the likes of twitter, but direct from the mouths of the Celtic players by our own media!! not such a great idea, one that only serves to help other clubs scouts.
I think Brendan was really disappointed in the loss of McGinn and he must have felt as if he has lost some face, and for me that is why this window and club and fan feeling has not been as good since.
I would imagine and hope that BR is the type of man to learn lessons and not forget. (apart from Lustig leg's are finished and Hendry is no centre back)
So for now BR needs our support there are plenty enough muc diggers for pay or motivated by hate looking to harm him and Celtic.
We need to hammer the sevco and wipe the smug smiles from the faces of their latest clowns.
