Club statement

In light of the ongoing speculation regarding the position of our football manager, Neil Lennon, the Board of Celtic Football Club wishes to make clear its continuing support for Neil and his backroom team.

The Board recognises and understands the importance of winning the league championship this season and that, as Neil himself has made clear, recent performances and results have been disappointing. The Board is committed to delivering success for Celtic supporters.

The Board has carefully considered the current circumstances and the challenges that we are faced with, not least the pressure on the management and players to deliver the tenth championship in a row that is so important to us all. Equally important is to continue to operate according to our Club’s values. The Board has come to the conclusion that our collective objective is best served by continuing to support Neil and his team as they seek solutions for those challenges.

Neil has the support of the players and staff at the Club. He understands the pressure and the environment. As his outstanding record as a manager, captain and player demonstrates, he knows what it takes to be successful at Celtic and he has delivered success with many of the current squad of players, who understand his method and approach.

Whilst it has been suggested that it is time for a change, at this stage in the season the Board believes that Neil and his management team are best placed to turn the team’s performances around and lead us on to success. The Board continues to work closely with Neil and his team to support them as they seek to do so and progress will be reviewed in the new year.

The Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank all Celtic supporters for their support during this challenging year. The response of the support to the challenges that we all face together has been magnificent. It is therefore important to make clear that the Board has never, as it has been inaccurately reported, referred to any Celtic supporter as 'entitled'.

The Board recognises the range of views expressed by our supporters and the strength of those opinions. Whilst there may not always be agreement, there is certainly a common goal – the success of Celtic Football Club – and we will continue to work together to seek to achieve that success.
Phuqin weasel words! ragin! are they no watchin what we're watchin?,anybody surprised we could only scrape a draw against St Johnstone?
do any of us see us winning against anybody!
Dear board, treat us like fools at your own peril and stick that excuse of a statement up yer feckin weasel jacksie!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:🍺
 
As the voice of reason on the forum, that's what I've heard some call me (that or prick) I've always been behind Lennon and I don't have a continuous axe to grind with the board but I'm surprised at this statement, in fact shocked.
I said to a mate 2 weeks ago (wasn't really a mate it was Tony Soprano, another prick) that I expected Lenny to be gone in the morning, since then things have gotten significantly worse!
I admire loyalty and Neil deserves the loyalty of Celtic for his service but this clearly isn't working and it's getting worse, not better.
Apparently Brother Pedro's final hun run of games prior to getting sacked was better than what we've just endured, and he was at a klub used to nothing but abject failure, not a decade of utter dominance.
Sad to say but I really can't see Neil turning this around, if they want to stick with him other changes must be made as an absolute minimum, get Strachan junior and Kennedy to fuck, bring in real coaches. Beg Forster to come back in January and chase the Greek Goalie Ghostie, and send Duffy as far away as possible (not Mick)
 
In light of the ongoing clusterfuck which is the current tenure of our football manager, Neil Lennon, the Board of Celtic Football Club wish to make it resoundingly clear that we do not give a flying fuck about the fans feelings and we will continue to wilfully ignore the impending smash into the giant iceberg hoving into view.

The Board understands jackshit about the feelings of the fans and, as Neil himself has made clear, care even less about trying to salvage the situation.

The Board has carefully dismissed the current circumstances and the challenges of dealing with ungrateful fan groups, not least the pressure on the management and players in maintaining their market value and media profile. Equally important is to operate in accordance with the Club's current values which includes lining the pockets of our priority shareholders and CEO. The Board has come to the collective conclusion that the fans are all thick as pigshit and will swallow any pish the Board serve cold.

Even though results would suggest otherwise, Neil has the full support of the players and staff at the Club. He understands the pressure and the environment, even if that same pressure and environment previously led to a complete mental collapse into depression. As his outstanding record as manager, captain and player demonstrates, he once knew what it took to be successful at Celtic and even though he delivered success with many of the current squad of players, who so obviously now do not understand his methods and approach.

Whilst it has been suggested that it is time for a change, at this time the Board believes that Neil is the best person not to derail the gravy train and start making unreasonable demands of the Board.

The Board wishes to take the opportunity to say "fuck you" to all Celtic supporters for their financial support in this challenging year. The Board were concerned that Peter may not be able to afford the private jet this year, but thanks to the efforts of the support, Peter will be flying in style - even when the team are dropping like a stone. The response of the mugs - sorry, support has been magnificent. The Board wishes to make it clear that at no point, as inaccurately reported, have they referred to the fans as "entitled". The Board may have referred to the fans as "ungrateful loutish peasants", but the Board never referred to the support as "entitled".

The Board completely ignores the range of views expressed by our supporters and the unreasonableness of these opinions. Whilst there may not always be agreement, there is certainly a common (give or take tens of thousands of fans) goal - the financial success of Celtic Football Club. Now gies a' your money, suck it up and shut the fuck up.

Love Peter
