I will never tire of complaining about his remuneration package ! He earns 10 times his nearest rival in the league ( Sevco CEO ) .
Yes , he does a great job vis-a-vis bringing in sponsors - but so could any competent CEO - on a fraction of his salary .
Let's not forget that it is easy to attract sponsors with a successful team - that is down to the playing side . Many on here woild argue that , despite our recent great success , we could have done even better BUT FOR LAWWELL's actions in the transfer market !
What the majority of the supporters want is a CEO who will see the club through their eyes - not one who sees everything through the prism of a balance sheet ( and certainly not one who appears to adjust the balance sheet to his own financial advantage - bonuses ,anyone ? )
Most on here , I guess , would see the present tight title race as an indictment of Lawwell's actions over the last few years. Even with Rodgers in the dugout and proven success as a coach , we were still not achieving our full potential as a club . Sadly , we have stood still recently and allowed Sevco to catch up and endangered the 9 IAR .
Consequently we , as supporters , are left in a position where we have to HOPE that The Board will see what we see - that we need experienced recruits of a high calibre during this month to ensure that we win the league .
But that is the problem - The Board ! They have proven gutless in fighting , not just our corner as Celtic supporters , but others in Scottish Football have been let down by their failures over the Res. 12 business and their capitulation to the endemic corruption at the SFA AND the SPFL . Only Celtic had the clout to fight these shysters in the SFA/SPFL who colluded with the parade of criminals and wide boys who have taken the reins at Ibrokes . But they did NOTHING !
Why , then , should we expect anything from them now ? Our players have been regularly assaulted by a Sevco thug yet it is OUR player who is deemed in the wrong ! And the thug is supported and praised by those who should be condemning him !
This is a turning point for me as regards The Board . If they continue in their consistent head-in-the-sand , do nothing to upset the status quo actions , then they will have , I think , lost the confidence of the majority of the Celtic support - and all that that entails . They need to remember that Celtic is NOT the Board , it is NOT the players - We , the supporters ARE Celtic , as we have demonstrated in the past to the Kellys and the Whytes .
Time to pick a side Dermot ( Peter will do what YOU tell him ! ) !
