Fair enough I suppose, I dont know enough about your reasons to be against that idea, but personally I think especially given the benefit of hindsight regarding some of his bold decisions back when i couldnt understand why a club smaller than ours could afford much better investment in players.
I was once very critical of the bunnet, but since then I learned a lot more about finance and investment and well I thought wee McCann was very very good steward for Celtic especially now when you know for certain the whole system was trying to crush the club out of existence.
There may well have been better investors short term. But I geneuinley think the long term business strategy and his hard nosed and often brutal honesty is something that should be looked back and remembered for long long time.
Unless there is something vicious about the bloke that I am unaware I would say he was perhaps the best thing that happened to the club. He gave fans the chance to save their club by financing and putting in place at risk to his own capital the means to save the club.
He was confident the risk of his own capital was worth it, he didnt pretend or lie about his mission, he had the gumption to stick to the plan and laid the foundation for future growth and financial acumen at club, he gave ordianry fans the chance to be part of their own clubs wealth growth and laid a controvertial unpopular plan despite the whole of Scotland laughing at his frugality and he turned out to be right. Well at least from the way things have panned out he seems to have been vindicated in his fundamental business sustainablity concept.
I genuinely think a statue of the man isnt such a bad idea.
