This season is similar to the lockdown season when I thought the Celtic Board, Manager and our players were all equally to blame because they all played a massive part in our downfall.

The blame game has started again amongst our supporters.
Dermot Desmond,
The Celtic Board,
Mark Lawwell,
Brendan Rodgers
Celtic Players.

Personally I blame Dermot Desmond and the Celtic Board.
There's a chance this week, that they will announce that Celtic have over £100 Million sitting in the bank, when our half year accounts are announced.

Mark Lawwell has been a disaster but I do have a little sympathy because ML is very limited to which markets he's allowed to look at.
ML is basically looking at a reserve market because that's the type of players he's brought to Celtic.
Again that's mostly the Board's fault.
Crazy when we have £100 Million.

Brendan Rodgers has also been shocking this season with the type of football on display but he's been badly let down by
You have guessed it the Celtic Board.

Celtic have a decent team but a terrible squad.
We haven't got the depth to cover our better players when they're injured.
The last 25 players brought in by Celtic have made sure of that.
Only one or two would be first pick regulars if everyone was available.

Everyone will have an opinion but my conclusion is that sh*t falls from the top.
Dermot Desmond and then the Celtic Board.

I think there's definitely a shared blame Buzz. The entire non-playing side of the club have been a disgrace when it comes to football decisions.

Kwon - straight out the door without playing
Tillio - straight out the door once he was fit
Lagerbielke - had one foot out the door before injuries
Yang - direct but virtually no end product
Palma - great run of form earlier in the season but is anonymous
Holm - looks a decent prospect but no real impact
Bernardo - Terrific on his day but very inconsistent
Nawrocki - unlucky with injuries but hasn't convinced
Kuhn - early days but has been woeful
Idah - Offers a physical dynamic but lacks quality

That's absolutely damning by any measure. The team clearly needed help in January and they did nothing about it. I've said it before that surely all our recent Heads of Scouting/ Recruitment can't be useless and they must be restricted by some cheapskate criteria. Even so, there's still much better value to be had at lower prices if you do your job diligently.

Rodgers is our highest ever paid manager and has a squad which is more than capable of delivering far better performances so he and the players need to take a good look at themselves as well. There's been no chance to build any momentum because the performances have been so poor, despite getting results for the most part. Our best run was probably just before the winter break when there was serious pressure to deliver but even that ability to get it done when the chips are down seems to have deserted them recently.

The alarming thing for me buzz is the players we brought in are no better than what was there. what about all that guff about bringing in quality. our first pick 11 wins the league imo but injuries have killed us but sevco have had they're fair share so dies that mean they recruited better.

I can't understand how a group of so-called Celtic men can get so much wrong in such a short space of time.
I have always been uneasy when PL is anywhere near the club, even though he may have no official authority, I can't believe for a second that he has no influence and interference in some matters.
The major shareholder (absentee landlord) is alarmingly out of touch with the problems we have seen all season and only seems to surface when managerial changes are forced upon us. He also seems to be blinkered and aloof from the support during difficult times.
He, The Board and the recruitment staff are at the source of this mess, but manager and players have to take a long look in the mirror too. Unfortunately in football the (immediate) buck stops with the manager and I am worried he'll not be strong enough or has the ability to tun things around in a short space of time.
The players need leadership and guidance on and off the pitch more effort and guile than they have shown and the supporters backing.

Got to agree with most of comments regards blame but I do think some fault lies at the fans feet. The atmosphere totally changed when green brigade held up the banners for Palestine and that was the fuel for dissent between them and board and it’s never really recovered. I’m hoping hatate and ccv return soon but can 2 men halt this mess we’ve got ourself in to?

"We're All In" was the tagline before the season, Mally. 3 totally empty words based on what they've produced.

Buzz bomb, how can a club in a weak league like Celtic have players capable of stepping in for our better players . I doubt players of this quality are prepared to not be involved in first team matches, when everyone is fit . Players like that would be lacking ambition and their standards are definitely slipping when not involved. They would be bad influence in dressing room or looking for to go .
GG wasn’t near the player Kyogo was, but he wasn’t prepared to play 2 nd fiddle to Kyogo and was so desperate in a move he went to MLS.
