The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[bennydorano]

Not only is it unfounded it also highly libelous

It's completely founded and proven.

We are a PLC and the our accounts are published, every year, payments to our board are disclosed, profits are disclosed and the amounts we make/spend of transfer purchases and sales are disclosed.

What other club in Europe has their executive as their highest earning club employee?

There's plenty of clubs who turn over profits, there are plenty of clubs who make record revenue. No big club in European football pays as much of their revenue to their chief executive than Peter Lawwell does to himself. He can find the money to make him one of the highest paid football executives in Europe but he cannot find a few hundred grand for John McGinn, he gets 9m for Rodgers when he leaves and decides to replace him with an out of work manager who was sacked by Bolton and Hibs in his last two jobs. Everything that Lawwell does is to benefit himself financially.

If it was libelous then I'm sure Davie Provan would have received legal papers by now. He has been calling Lawwell out on his salary and the clubs lack of investment in the playing squad for years now.

As usual, it seems Lennon's loyalists have deep ties to Lawwell who defend the indefensible. No doubt the same slow learners who were telling us that everything was fine 12 months ago and dissenters should shut up. Well the writing was on the wall and you should now be ashamed of yourselves.

He pays himself?? Ffs I've heard it all now.

There is absolutely no point in arguing with Angelo. It's like playing chess with pigeon. The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board and struts around like it has won

Your ignorance is astounding. Do you have any comprehension of the roles and duties of a CEO?

The problem is you're out of touch with the Celtic fanbase and you're going around making idle threats to posters who call out the absolute mess Lawwell has made of this football club.

15 years without winning a knockout tie after Christmas in European football. How much do you think Lawwell made in that time period? 30m? 30m for a suit who has turned Celtic into a laughing stock in European football.

Bar a little pocket in Armagh/Down, Celtic fans are absolutely delighted to see the back of Lawwell and the damage he has done to this football club.

There's no point because you are dug in.

You're on here defending the indefensible and the pathetic level of some of the posts you guys are trying to make to censor someone who shows them up is risible.

Why are you guys, so called Celtic fans, so, so, so out of touch with the Celtic fanbase on this.

Go on to Twitter and see the reaction to him leaving, he is utterly loathed but somewhere in Armagh Lawwell is a demigod for employing a hapless coach from Lurgan.

You and your little cohort are embarrassing yourselves on here.

Pays himself  I think Dermot Desmond and the board might have a thing or two to say about that.

Didn't realise i was defending him by the way? Maybe in Angeloland?

Again, the ignorance here is astounding.

Have you managed to clock yet that Lawwell sits on the board that dictate their own pay. Lawwell and the board are one and the same, fat Tories getting rich off running the club down.

You are defending him here. You are as tone deaf with the Celtic support as Lawwell was.

All this loyalty bought because he gave Lennon a job he was not qualified or fit to do.

It still doesn't mean he sets his own pay ffs!!!! The board have to approve it and DD is on the board. Celtic are listed on the Stock Exchange and answer to shareholders, paying himself would be illegal I'd imagine?

It does mean he is able to set his own pay. You have an extremely naive outlook on boardrooms if you think they don't look after themselves. The board set their own salaries, they look after themselves and as a result Lawwell was able to become one of the highest paid football executives in Europe as he presided over a tenure where Celtic failed to win a knockout European tie after Christmas in 15 years and have became a laughing stock in European football.

That is the legacy of Peter Lawwell and one which he has became very rich off the back of. You're the one defending his salary here.

[bennydorano]

Oh, so it's your opinion, not fact and is infact therefore Libelous.

[JimStynes]

Angelo your view of Celtic is seriously inflated. What gives Celtic the right to think they're even in the same bracket as Ajax. Massive support world wide due to the Irish link but no where near the same footballing prestige as Ajax. It will remain the same until they're out of the Scottish league.

My view of Celtic is not inflated. You seem to view Celtic as some tinpot club, we are not. We are ran like one though by an executive who trousers the money we make from selling our best players.

What is apparent is that the Armagh lads on here and their views are completely out of touch with the vast majority of Celtic fans. If you go on to the club's twitter account and look at the comments below the announcement you will realise the deep disdain that is held for Lawwell and how he has mismanaged the club. The vast, vast majority of comments are utterly, utterly scathing of the man.

On here you have a load of lads who seem more worried about how a local lad and his acquaintacnes are looked after than the football club itself.

You guys are completely out of touch and you're embarrassing yourselves defending this shit.

I'm not from Armagh 
Also, go have a look at Ajax's history and the players they've had over the years and compare them to Celtic. Celtic are a big club but they've nowhere near the history of success that Ajax have had. I want PL and Neil Lennon sacked and you go back through my post history and see I've been saying that for the last number of years. But the only man who is embarrassing himself is you, on multiple threads. #angeloout

It's fact.

Boards decide their own salaries. Lawwell sits on the board.

Celtic are a PLC who have to disclose their director's earnings every year, they are obliged to report their financial performance, the financial aspects of their transfer dealings.

We all know the on field performances of Celtic in recent years.

We know that as Celtic have became more and more of a laughing stock in European football, as humiliations have increased on the European stage, as Celtic have became more and more of a club who pimps their best players out for transfers every season, who fail to reinvest that money into the management and players available for the club, that Lawwell's salary and bonuses have continued to rise.

This information is all public, so why do you feel the need to a)dispute it and b) try and muddy the waters by labeling it libelous?

What history have Ajax had over the years haven't had.

Both clubs don't play in big leagues.
Have 50k seater stadiums.
Have big European traditions.

Celtic and Ajax have featured in the same number of European finals in the past 20 years.

I think you don't know much about the history of either club to be spouting such nonsense.

It clearly isn't a fact that he pays himself, it is libelous for you to write that it is.
