Peter Lawwell Feels His Own Suffering …
The Trust reps presented the two resolutions which had been passed by the Celtic Trust members on 26 January 2021. It was noted by us that, since that meeting, the retirement of Peter Lawwell had been announced and there had been a Statement from the Chairman which did not provide any outcomes of the review which the Club had said they were carrying out.
In response to the first resolution which called for a root & branch review the Club said the following:
There are opportunities for the club to have a look at how we operate post-Peter Lawwell; consideration has been given to this for the last few years; they have taken into account what has happened over the last few months and noted, in particular that when things are not going well there is heightened scrutiny in terms of recruitment.
The first red flag, and the first red herring.
This is Lawwell, feeling sorry for himself.
Yes, when things aren’t going well there is always heightened scrutiny in terms of recruitment, because we have a man who meddles constantly in that area without the slightest qualifications to do so. He has, at times, even gone so far as to over-ride the wishes of the manager in this area. This is why fans pay particular attention to it. We have an accountant deciding, at times, which players the club signs; that’s ridiculous and has been going on for far too long.
