JP has gone, can we expect PL to follow at end of season ed?
What lies ahead? PL is not everyone's favourite but I feel that we may look back and regret it if he also leaves without an equal replacement to fight our cause beyond Scottish boundaries.
Whats your thougts.

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it announced at some point that Lawwell is leaving at the end of the season. I'd be more surprised if he was still here next season as the Club restructures behind the scenes.}

I wonder if he'll be remembered fondly after he's gone. He's rightly received a lot of stick for his failure to invest in the first team at times but he'll leave us in a fantastic position financially and he's done great work in "promoting the brand" as he calls it.

{Ed007's Note - I have no doubts that if Lawwell had stuck to doing what he does best he would be held in a much higher regard by the support. When it comes to the financial side of the game he is peerless in Scottish football and has done a magnificent job for us in that respect.}

He has done a great job on the financial side but like Ed alluded to he has lead the fans down the garden path on the playing side of things. More than once he has spoken about 6 million pound players and cheaped out when it came to the crunch.

Basically his BS reeks as bad as Skinnybhoys.

I'm sure someone posted on the forum that he heard Lawwell was leaving at the end of the season and the current manager from Glasgow Airport is taking over from him.

How true that is remains to be seen.

While I don't like Lawwell on account of him having a go at fans from time to time, there is no denying that he has done a good job in his tenure with regards our finances.

I personally won't be celebrating his departure if this turns out to be true, until I see who is replacing him.

Forget to say in last post.

One of the things I admire most about Lawwell is his ability to strike deals and get what is best for Celtic. He has done this time and time again with commercial deals and player transfers, not to mention the fact that he has been great at opening new markets for Celtic and thus increasing our income.

In my opinion lawwel will be a big lose to our club if and when team goes.

Lawwell's ability may only be recognised years after he is gone . Lawwell didn't suffer fools lightly and was never afraid of taking the unpopular decision, if he thought it was the correct one . How many other people wouldn't have been tempted to go the Rangers route of EBT's when he and the Celtic Board were put under unbearable pressure to keep up with the free - spending Rangers . I remember when all our fans will calling for his Head and blaming him for not matching Rangers spending . Ed has alluded to him taking on other roles than his Financial duties, but surely that was lack of guidance and lack of control by the Board who probably allowed one man too much responsibilities and too much power . I don't think we can blame P Lawwell for that, it's a human thing to become power greedy and power hungry.

Whos likely to succeed him if he leaves then Ed? Or rather who would you like to see in his job next season?

{Ed007's Note - I couldn't even guess mate, how many people had heard of Pedro before he rolled up his heated driveway? I'd imagine it will be someone from a business background that most of us won't have a clue about.
What Rab says rings a bell, someone posted that it was a woman that runs an airport.}

There was also rumours about someone who is/ was at Norwich.

With John Park gone and us have no idea of the qualities and job description of his replacement, it may be better to make haste slowly with replacing P Lawwell . To have 3 new people in those key positions within 12 months may be too soon .
It will probably be necessary to replace Lawwell but maybe better in 2018 rather than 2017.
