We Need New Blood And New Ideas In The Boardroom.
Our board has often been hailed as a model of professionalism.
What they don’t have are great strategic thinkers or independent minds.
Nobody on that board, save for Desmond, has taken a major risk in the whole of their career or, I’ll wager, ever had a creative thought.
We have a board of pen-pushers and box checkers. If they were otherwise they wouldn’t allow one man, Peter Lawwell, to so totally dominate the strategy and direction.
Aside from Lawwell where are the leaders on the governing bodies?
Who wants to step into the morass at Hampden and shake things up? None of them.
Who wants to promote a new era of engagement with the game here? None of them.
Who is building bridges with the outside world? Nobody.
They are invisible men, insignificant, so much so that nobody even calls for their heads at a time when the club is being pulled apart.
The chairman is a nonentity whose last major public pronouncement was to call our fans anti-Semites because we criticised a director who just happened to be a Tory peer who had voted for austerity.
The reek of old-school unionism as well as small (and large) C conservatism stinks out the corridors of Celtic Park.
This is the modern world and ours is a thoroughly modern club, founded for charitable purposes.
It might be a good idea if it was run by creative, modern people with compassion and a social conscience instead of these tired old men.
