The Failures of the Celtic Board?

[Smelltheg-love]

He had baws unlike the boardroom we have now. He saw the bigger picture.

Wee Fergus would have spent millions on proving negligence in lack of governance and Res 12

Having won that, paid these costs 20 times over by suing DEIDCO liquidators and SFA for lost prize money and denying his club the opportunity to have qualified for CL and the untold riches

Then with both on their knees, unable to pay court awarded sums and both wretched parties at his mercy, there would have been no 5 way agreement. It would have been The Fergus McCann Treaty of Surrender (no pun) for all parties involved

Following which he would have let Club X come back as Deidco

Wee Fergus would never allowed it in my opinion.

I went into a guys house years ago and on the wall he had a cheque from Celtic, a refund for something for the sum of £20 odds.
I asked him to explain the relevance, I was young and it was in the time before BACS etc.
Its signed by the bunnet, it's £20, so its clear that there is no-one else at Celtic can sign a cheque for even the smallest amount. Wee Fergus approves every penny that goes out

Wee Fergus knows the fans will not trade it in and keep it as a keepsake.

A wise old accountant said to me years ago, the power is in the pen Stephen
Any company can have countless people thinking they're this or that
But its the guy that signs the cheques thats the keeper of the gates ....

 

[green sprig]

it was someone close to the Desmonds GS, no doubt in my mind.
Knew more than we did and was fighting their corner

They say Smelltheglove it was his son Brett,how much lower can they get by trying to con the people who keep the lights on,all we ever asked for was a little bit of honesty going all the way back to the Kelly,s who showed Big Jock absolutely no respect for what he did for Celtic.

The classiest act Stevie ever to sit on our Chairmans seat..quote from the bunnet..
Every Celtic fan everywhere in the world should
be proud of everything they,ve achieved because
everything they have achieved in their life they,ve
achieved on their own merit without having to join
any secret organisation to get there..

Thanks for the explanation mate, that’s mad what a shower of conniving shits

Your welcome Micky.

The major failing of the board is a lack of interest in what the customers (supporters) want.
The interests of the CLUB and the BUSINESS are treated as distinctly different.

Does anyone really believe that The Board are feeling the pain of this season like US ?

I don't believe that they are the type of supporter who lives and breathes the club . That said , you need professional people at the helm who don't always follow their heart when it is time to engage the head .

But we DON'T have enough Board members who truly feel the pain - and that is something that can't be rectified by us .
Yes , as shareholders we can make our feelings known , but Res 12 shows that , in the end , WE don't have much sway in the Boardroom !

Over the four years we have made massive progress: winning the League Championship (97/98); building the largest club stadium in the UK (60,000 seats); having the largest support (52,000 season book holders) of any club in Britain. This has been achieved by everyone who cares about Celtic working together towards a shared vision of football success and pride in a club which is part of our culture, open to all and a responsible member of the community working to help others where it can.

The next time we hear from the board is probably when they want season ticket money. The PR of the club are atrocious.

If one wants to identify the absolute failure of the Celtic Board's policies, every man and woman of them, you only have to look at the celebrations outside Ibrox today.

I hope they are pleased with themselves, because I certainly am not.

Dermot Desmond, Peter Lawell and the Celtic Board's acceptance of the FWA and opposition to Resolution 12 can only be described as traitorous to the vast majority of the Celtic support.
