Gordon Strachan was a fantastic manager and has probably been one of Celtic's greatest in the last twenty to thirty years.

There are two billionaires on the Celtic board, but since Lennon arrived at the club he has been backed with nothing. They have no ambition whatsoever and it has cost us the league, yet again.

henrik your correctamundo you could have put us out of sight three or four years ago if you had spent a bit more money and had DD had enough ball s to put his money on the table. Rangers would have had zero CL money and went tats up years ago. As it stands im sure you can handle loosing the league if you had spent decent money and put up a good fight. But to capitulate the way in which you are is an embarrasment

Agreed.

Henrik you cant just blame the board,these are lennons players and he ultimately is failing to get the best out of them or motivate them,enough is enough time to go,theres no point in waiting until next season to get a new manager in,then having to rebuild again in a short space of time which is never easy.I'd like to get Slaven Bilic in,he's only on £400 grand a year as croatia manager,surely we could top that,whether he would walk away from the croatia job is another matter,but i think he would be a great appointment.

The notion that Strachan was got rid of because he wasn't "Celtic minded" is nonsense. There was a few numpties in the Celtic support who didn't take to him but Strachan in his last year was no longer interested in the job himself anyway. Up 'til that point he was very successful winning 3 titles in a row.

The board gave the job to Lenny because they knew he was desperate to do it and wouldn't demand money for transfers. Lenny looked like he had the makings of a good manager at times last season but ultimately his lack of experience will be his downfall.

He didn't have the experience to stand up to the board and demand transfer money, and tell them for example that Samaras was a bad debt that needed to be written off.

Maybe Desmond will step in - it was he who picked out Strachan - and appoint an experienced man for the job.

how many players has wee lenny bought in?

if they aint as good as Motherwell whos to blame?

Timinator, I agree but I was talking about the board because it was mentioned before in the article.

Lennon sees the player six hours for training per day, yet when we step onto the field no one knows what to do. It is embarrassing.

sorry mate i don't agree, i think lennon was offered the job because you tried for quite a while to get someone else in and no one wanted the job. Anyone else say yes to it ? im willing to be proved wrong and apologise Truth is Lennon was the cheap option. Thats the only reason he was apointed

the whole seasons turned out to be an embarrassment,from sion and the europa league to sitting third in the league.The players are just going through the motions like they dont have a care in the world, it's extremely frustrating and i agree the board deserve all the flak the get it's as much their fault as anyones,unfortunatly i don't think they give a fook

as long as their wee balance sheets and nice bonuses are intact tho eh

your totally correct they pick up a nice bonus when you turn a profit. Don't get me wrong your good at that part . I just can't help but think if you had spent some decent money and perhaps kept kenny you would have torn us a new wan.

I don't really have a problem with the amount of money the board have spent in recent years. What I would like to know is how many players have they signed compared to how many of the manager's targets they have delivered during last three seasons. Apart from a few months in early 2011, we haven't looked like a 'team' since we won our own 3iar. I think our board have to take their share of the blame, but when you are dropping points regularly to teams with a fraction of our budget then you have to put it down to poor management.

absolutely if the board had backed wgs and got a striker in we probably would have got 4iar and maybe more, but true to form the board being a bunch eh greedy cants now look where we are,an absolote shambles, looking likely our rivals are going for 4iar.

Exactly, Harvey.

What annoyed me was how they treated WGS financially. If they had the ambition, he could have done much more with the club in my opinion.

We should be gunning for seven in a row just now, yet the Bears have all but sealed four?

---------------------------------

I think the board have looked at some of the expensive flops in recent years and considered it too financially reckless. Instead, the club's policy is to buy young promising players with a view to making a profit down the line. This is actually a good policy as long as it isn't eating into the manager's budget to bring in his own players which now seems to be the case with the signings of Wanyama and Bangura instead of fixing that defence.
