The Green Brigade this morning turned up at the front doors of Celtic Park to deliver their own January review. In the absence of the Review from the Celtic PLC Board that was promised for the New Year at the start of December, the Celtic Board has instead hidden in its Parkhead boardroom bunker and said sweet FA.
Yes Peter Lawwell has resigned and will leave his post as the CEO on 30 June and that has to be welcomed given the staleness that has crept into the Celtic Boardroom in recent years. It is full of ageing old men who no longer have the ideas that are needed to run a modern forward thinking football club.
The Green Brigade are not everyone’s cup of tea. Their Lennon Out banner displayed at Lennoxtown last week received a mixed reception from the wider Celtic support – many being of an older generation who point out that these young fans don’t know how lucky they have been to live through Celtic’s best ever period of domestic domination over the past few decades.
But the statement that they issued at the same time was hard to argue with a few did. The banner this morning simply says “January Review: Parasites Liars Charalatans” and if it achieves nothing else it surely does serve as a perfect illustration of the huge and widening gap that now exists between the Celtic support and those running the club who promised a review and instead have failed to deliver.
Where are your ‘bluechip’ PLC standards now Mr Nicholson and Mr Lawwell? So don’t be surprised that you are being called out by The Green Brigade as Charalatans.
Celtic FC SLO John Paul Taylor has asked you repeatedly about the review and has assured fans – presumably because that is what you told him – that it would be delivered. Failure on this matter tarnishes just about everything that any of you have achieved as custodians of OUR football club.

Celtic could make this all go away by updating on the January Review. If it even existed. 👍 https://t.co/vEnNsdn7Gv
