Celtic Rumours

06 Oct 2025 07:38:03
Was speaking to my mate yesterday who is clued up about all things Celtic.

We were discussing Dermot Desmond and he confirmed something I had suspected. Dermot has an ally among the other Celtic shareholders and between them they have 51% of the voting rights.

This means that while this alliance remains, it will be impossible to remove DD. The only way I can see that happening is if we were able to disrupt his other business dealings through boycotts and protests and make our feelings known (peacefully off course) anytime someone encountered him.

My other suggestion is instead of singing sack the board, we should change it to Desmond Desmond get Tae feck.

A bit much Joe is it not.

Hiya i haven't been on for ages posting and few things annoy me but protesting and i was at the game during the silence really saddens me - the trophy cabinet is full of, money in the bank - Iam sure I’m not the only one that remembers couldn’t win anything, skint and on our arse. The board messed up Nicholson new to the job they’ve as much as admitted it - but to blame the board when the traitor Rodger’s is angling for exit - why would the team be motivated. No one more disappointed when we didn't reach the group stages CL than me - but everything is good - we need a new manager before a new board . Fact.

Suppose the rat that leaked a story to that rag gets away scotch free with you, Rodgers isn't the first and certainly won't be the last to jump ship, bit like ange.

Why on earth would we want rid of dd, was few hundred words into a reply before I decided what’s the point and deleted it, Celtic fans need to be very careful what they wish for, we are a stable successful club who yes could have done better, but for why do we get to an extra round in Europe, or win league by few more points, we’ve been let down several times in transfer windows yes but also seen ultimate success on and off park, have a word with yourself if your one of these entitled few who want such deep change at Celtic.

06 Oct 2025 20:25:25
This is the board who have routinely failed to push on from a position of strength.

This is the board who gave us the war criminal John Reid, Torrie board members and tried to employ Bernard Higgins, despite having persecuted out fans.

This is the board who have regularly failed to sign players before important European qualifiers which has cost us hundreds of millions in lost revenue.

This is the board who resurrected Rangers and refused to back resolution 12 to pursue rangers when they lied to cheat us out of a champions league spot.

This is the board that banned fans from the stadium for supporting the Palestinian cause and then lied and blamed it on Glasgow council. They also lied and blamed a group of fans for causing trouble at away grounds despite them not being there.

This is the board who prefer to give our money to the tax man rather than invest it on our team and infrastructure.

Desmond is a major player on that board and plays a major role on our strategy. Unless he is removed or changes his strategy, nothing is going to change.

06 Oct 2025 22:06:54
Another strategy is exactly what’s required, maybe you should read your initial post though as it was quite some way off a suggestion of another strategy, we as fans don’t know the ins and outs of the club and as fans should we Or is that something to add to what some feel entitled to along with the right to win everything regardless of how others invest or perform, right to have the best players wether we have them or not , right to sign who manager wants wether they want to come or selling club want to sell, right to say who sits on the board despite fans not being the ones who own the club, we want better we all want better and considering kalechi is looking as good as anyone we might have signed and better than the people he replaced it looks as though possibly timing alone may be Brendan’s only issue, for me the players aren’t good enough and we should do better (better strategy as you put it) but really was to your initial post of getting rid of dd and disrupting other business of his, and to be honest thought the post stank.

Desmond is a massive problem and i would gladly see the back of him.
There are plenty of other significant shareholders etc would show more ambition.
Im not one for saudi billionaire money or 69r type billions but money is money at the end of the day.
Id happily take a foreign billionaire that has ambition than an irish billionaire that has zero ambition that has played a major role in holding our club back from reaching our potential.
Remember if it weren't for their club dying and their reincarnation being absolute gash, his lack of ambition i think would be much more evident.

07 Oct 2025 12:27:30
Look I agree recruitment been pish, let down several times, on that side I think we should be more like Brugge psv feyenoord but they have huge advantage in there leagues compared to ours, so I’m all ears who should we aspire to be like or show same ambitions as.

07 Oct 2025 18:31:26
No business man especially a very rich successful one ever takes pleasure in paying tax - that reason alone tells me plans failed rather than there was no plan or that this mess was it. It’s been a disaster but it wasn’t the plan.

03 Oct 2025 15:46:49
Reports that Everton are apparently interested in Maeda.

☘️ ☘️ ☘️.

03 Oct 2025 17:50:49
Good chance he will be sold in Jan window.

04 Oct 2025 06:29:01
A fevking hope so.

04 Oct 2025 08:45:09
Good he has been rank totten, more money to sit in the bank and do nothing.

04 Oct 2025 09:56:33
The money would help upgrade the Away dugout.

04 Oct 2025 19:28:23
Seems the only way we see new players….

04 Oct 2025 21:31:45
Maeda will be a massive loss but if we agreed to sell him in the summer just gone then we shouldn’t stand in his way. We better have targets lined up for January because if we continue to get weaker it’ll be a long way back.

05 Oct 2025 14:11:05
He would have been sold in the summer if the board had not been so inept and had gotten us a replacement.

05 Oct 2025 14:57:42
Think tounetki was his replacement.

05 Oct 2025 17:47:23
I think he was kept as a striker because we sold Idah and kyogo and had not bought anyone in before window closed.

27 Sep 2025 14:36:42
In keeping with the silent protest today

Heard WHISPER 2 players coming in January.

27 Sep 2025 21:33:48
Not good enough tim,
We need about 16.
SACK THE BOARD.

{Ed007's Note - We had 77% possession, 26 shots at goal with 6 on target, hit the bar twice, a goal disallowed for offside by VAR but it's the board fault - seriously?
It's like dealing with a Sevco forum at times.}

28 Sep 2025 10:40:06
I’m pretty sure we should have had a pen too.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🏻👍🏻

28 Sep 2025 12:24:31
I Feel your pain ed. It's going to be a long long long season.

Waited a full 24 hrs to say wtf to this post, agree with Ed.

{Ed007's Note - 👍🏼👍🏼

28 Sep 2025 18:00:46
Which board member is that, not sure I recognise him 😊.

28 Sep 2025 18:23:01
Jeez ed i was joking/ being sarcastic.
Was nothing to do with todays performance or result. We were unlucky against hibs. Played well

We do need more than 2 players though, touching on the original post.

{Ed007's Note - Ach sorry dude, as a self confessed sarcastic b@stard I know how hard it is to show sarcasm in words 👍👍

29 Sep 2025 01:33:29
All good bud. Ill try be more obvious in the future.

29 Sep 2025 04:25:33
How can we have so much possession and gave away 17 fouls to hibs's 1 how is that even possible .

29 Sep 2025 07:05:43
Have you heard any names Timalloy?

29 Sep 2025 13:09:36
I'd seen we had about 46 touches in the hibs box as well. That's ridiculous numbers for a game.

30 Sep 2025 11:36:31
Sat was soooo positive compared to say last 4 months, Newcastle friendly aside lol
Inheacho simply offers a cf who can be used as focal point to take ball through lines and bring others into play instead of the side to side ( which at times is needed too) but gives variation, he misses a sitter and had another few chances, other days they go away, the rest of the team I thought where fast and intense in there play but there’s simply an entitlement and panic from large sections of the support, downfall on day was ralston and subs never worked, if gave the starting team another 5-10 mins as we where so on top start second half,

Oh er matron.

{Ed007's Note - 😂😂

24 Sep 2025 19:06:20
That midfield! Brendan it’s not working .

24 Sep 2025 19:21:11
Hope for the best, but expect the worst. To be honest, after such a horrendous transfer window, we have very few options. However, why the manager cannot see the obvious weaknesses and alter the formation to bolster that midfield is down to him.

24 Sep 2025 19:53:32
Very few options. We have 6 central midfielders who are all good players. He just has to give some other ones a chance and pick them.

24 Sep 2025 21:07:39
McGregor is the master at pointing and either playing someone into trouble or playing backwards.

Hatate and Nygren have been poor and Brendan has managed to coach the flair out of tounekti after 2 matches.

24 Sep 2025 21:40:20
Why does hatate continue to start matches, I get calmac as he is captain but even he should be rested and give engles and bernardo a chance in midfield.

25 Sep 2025 08:38:44
Engels hasn’t performed in the last while so I don’t know why that’s the solution. The confidence is low throughout and once that gets resolved the team will fire. They are all in a dip so whoever comes in might not make the expected difference.

29 Sep 2025 07:07:47
Well it's got to be better than doing nothing.

19 Sep 2025 13:42:26

23 Sep 2025 01:11:35
So that's where the money has gone! Why didn't the board tell us?
