they're having an argument about Dave King where is started as chest out bluster and its now dawning on them the realisation of it all:

I see your point re our persistent failures, but we have been downsizing rapidly since our last qualification. I think his point is that if the champion Rangers get in at the same time as we don't then the financial picture changes very quickly. And I think that will happen too (they remain a financial basket case, but our cash advantage is disappearing. No £40m in the bank, STs about to tank, player values plummeting...).
Even if he never utter the words 'house of cards' I think that could quite easily be applied to Celtic by anyone watching the past season and this current shambles.

He was wrong about how it would happen, not what will happen.
We have folded under the pressure of not qualifying for Europe. We didn’t cut costs off the back of it because we never spent to get there. We just didn’t spend on key positions when we had money in the bank that meant we went in depleted. Under Rodgers we needed a centre back and right back, we had a crippled lustig and Jack eff Hendry playing.
Then we needed a quality manager after our £9m manager left. We appointed the guy who wouldn’t get an interview at Alloa.
Eventually backed him but obviously we dithered and gave him an excuse to not play Julien or Boli.
Then kept Lennon in position and took forever to sign Ajeti so Lennon thought it appropriate to sit him and another striker on the bench and play Row Z Ryan up front.
It has been a pack of cards but not because we cut costs due to not qualifying, but because we didn’t spend the money in our bank to enhance our chances and not give opposition a big X Mark where to attack us.
The guys an absolute dick. I’ve spoke about knowing him, he’s an absolute weapon of a guy and the amount of illegal stuff he has done and got away with, never mind the illegal stuff he has done and got caught with, is astounding.
