plumbGER 24,518 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 The stupid specky bastard has been set up for a fall here by the beggars imo Don't get me wrong, he is a prick but they slimy bastards will have someone more dangerous in mind for the job should he get fired.

Fair comment but never under-estimate the hatred for our club from this people. They wanted us dead and buried- it would have been easy to keep the bandwagon/momentum going. If there's nothing in it for them, it would have been easy to keep it going IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't forgive or forget, but the same teams that treated us like shite first time round have done the decent thing this time round. 100%.

That's where Regan played a blinder - by requesting all correspondence was published (they were demanding transparency and honesty so they couldn't refuse) , he set the cat right into the pigeons . I don't think it's part of a bigger plan or conspiracy, they fucked it up pure and simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,823 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I would never underestimate the cunning and devious Liewell and if he has set up Doncaster for a fall I fear he will have another puppet lined up to replace him. I could also be just paranoid and wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,579 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Absolutely the tarriers have a back up plan. It was the same when everyone thought there was a power shift when Lawwell left the board, everyone thinking he'd had enough but as always he walks into a bigger more influential job. There will be something in the pipeline for them, and it could have really bad consequences for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 1 hour ago, Sportingintegritymyarse said: I have no issues him in the firing line for this. He acted on the bequest of one member, against another, apparently contrary to set spfl guidelines. But the bheast has arguably played a blinder here if Doncaster had served his purpose and his removal was their end goal. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. If he was to be bulleted then his successor could well be even more dangerous to us. 2 100% this if he's going it will be all part of the Lawwell plan, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Every single thing they put out to the media serves a purpose. Fuck even back in 2009 we'd just win the league for 1st time in 4seasons but all the talk was strachan being sacked- takes the spotlight from us and deflects it on to us when events such as Tuesday happen. i don't doubt for a second that Doncaster will leave but mark my words, the replacement will have business links to celtic one way or another.

Bristoe1872 2,563 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Doncaster deliberately misrepresented the other board members as well as the clubs and he did so at the behest of Liewell. He should be sacked immediately. And while i still think we should have responded to Savco once again our response to Doncaster shows the class gulf between ourselves and that odeous rancid hypocritical peado protecting club from the east. We dealt with this matter without going public which in this instance was the correct thing to do. The last week or so have shown Liewell and Savco for the bullying obsessed fucktards they are and other clubs have finally woken up to that fact.

FSM 20,892 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Maybe Doncaster has declared that he wants to go, and in return for a golden handshake has agreed with Lawwell to allow this scenario to play out in the way that Lawwell wants it to (to what end I'm still not sure, but I'm sure it'll be in celtic's interests whatever it is).

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Should've been sacked days ago. We should've had a very public statement from the club calling for that sacking when it never happened. Fuck this behind the scenes pish.
