A few changes to Celtic games.

St. Mirren V Celtic Saturday Night @ 8pm November 22nd.

Hibs V Celtic Sunday November 30th @ 12pm.

Dundee Utd V Celtic Wednesday Night @ 8pm Wednesday December 17th.

Sevco don't play their rearranged match against Aberdeen until January 6th in between visiting Celtic Park and Pittodrie.
It also means Celtic should be further ahead of them when they first foot us.

Reports are saying Palma is ripping it up with his country who are on the cusp of wc qualification, apparently he's a fans favourite.

Just watched Wales Belgium. Although Wales lost, Craig Bellamy had them playing well. Comes across as a good man manager too. They'll only qualify via the POs at best so what do you think of him being our new manager next summer?

I've seen one or two articles where he is highly spoken of.

If successful what is the end game of the fans . ger rid of dd lawall Nicholson etc? . as much as the present lot have their far too prudent (being kind) on transfer side failings I do believe dd and lawal run the club well and have best interests of club at heart . so what is the way forward . is there anyone waiting to step in financially are there people in wings better than lawell etc waiting to step in . would the fans be united if victors could the fans financially run club? . I want change but could total change be a disaster? Ed anyone else . Are there any whispers or rumours of the look of the club after the dust has settled?

Good question. I don't believe though that in this case its better the devil you know. The current regime clearly don't have the ambition to take us to the next level.

The problem is that Scottish football is looked down on - a view that is too common, even amongst our fellow Scots. Chris Sutton, for example, is a fantastic ambassador of our game, and we need many more to follow suit and talk our game up. Unfortunately there is a lack of money and, in my opinion, the game is gone.

Having said this we do need a change. We MUST stay the dominant team domestically but there's really no reason why we can't alter our strategy and be far more savvy in the transfer market. We already sell potential players the chance to use us as a stepping stone.

My hope is the football world becomes a more even playng field but I can't see it if i'm honest.

Going forward, we need to have a more fan-based ownership but also must remain a viable business.

I think the difficulty is, do we want someone to buy DD's shares, who then spends and borrows and we end up in debt and shadowing the club across the city, run by shadowy, unnamed individuals, who strip the club and walk away, because that could happen to them again and why would we be different.

If our current board were forward thinking like Ajax, Brugge and other similarly run clubs, we could speculate to accumulate, without putting ourselves in debt.

We just need to remove several of the current board and replace them with modern thinking football people, who can drive us forward in a sustainable way.

It really isn't difficult, instead of buying 10 x 2-3 million players, buy 3 x 8-10 million players each window or each summer.

Those quality players will improve our European performances while keeping us on top domestically and eventually making us great money.

Our board are supposefly good businessmen, surely they can see that continually driving mediocrity will only result in reduced quality, performance and income.

Those great business men cost us a potential £300mill over last 15 years by ineffective leadership and they point blank refuse to admit their failures.
