Totally, but they only way to make them accountable and force them into resignation is to deprive them of revenue, it's the only language they understand, but that just isn't going to happen. There are just too many in the Celtic support who wouldn't be able to get their heads around not going to games, it's what they do and is what they've always done, even when they know, deep down, the Board are taking the piss; that they are treated like sht.
Other forms of organised protest might help, things that don't necessarily need 100% supporter buy-in, things the media couldn't fail to see and report, like permanent displays in the environs of the stadium, wildcat actions mid-match, bushwhacking Desmond on the golf course. Then again, we have seen how they reacted to the spontaneous protest last year.
I've never felt more disconnected from Celtic
. I fell out of love with football in general and Scottish football in particular the aftermath of 2012 and the cover up of what should be recognised as the biggest corruption scandal in British sporting history. I'm not interested in the welfare of Scottish football, with it's rotten officialdom, cheating match officials, anti-football plastic pitches and dinosaur coaches with their anti-football 'tactics'; it's near-empty Lego 'stadiums', it's shtty kick off times, sterile matchday experience and the most amatuerish, agenda-laden print and broadcast media: that's the way it is and will always be, it can GTF. I only care about Celtic.
Our success in the last 9 years has been a massive GIRFUY to Scottish football, our revenge for their complicity in that scandal, but for those in charge of Celtic to be so negligent as to halt that success and not even have the decency to admit their failing - never mind resign in shame - and then, to compound that with a barely disguised contempt for supporters? Well, that gives me a decision to make. We've always been up against the rest of Scottish football, there's nothing new there and it's never been a fair fight, but our own Board are willfully tying one hand behind our backs! I dearly want the new appointments to be the very best we can hope to attract and that they will give us the best football team we can reasonably hope to have, but I fear it will be a typical half-measure, like a good coach but underfund him, or another journeyman with loads of money to spend but not the ability to manage the talents he buys, or great a DoF but with a sht coach under him etc. I have no faith in Desmond and his minions making the right decisions. I'm almost willing them to fck this up to make my decision easier.
