"Ange" away to the EPL, John Kennedy in charge, more signings like James McCarthy. The chairman is a non exec role so not really involved in the day to day running of the club however it was Peter Lawell who brought Ange in. Bankier is retiring so Lawell is a good option to fill that particular role. Don’t see anything in this that would worry me.

Now it’s fine as he is in a different role? Fickle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t exactly universally hated by Celtic fans, I would say it’s split. I wouldn’t want him back though. Our more proactive approach in the transfer market shows how much he had the hand brake on for years and held us back. He’s also a smug arrogant w**k who at one point was averaging over 60 grand a week which was double what any of our players were on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd perhaps be better deleting your previous posts regarding Lawell. I won't drag them all up - there are that many - but a simple search of 'Lawell' and then by author (yourself) should give you free reign before someone else does such. Have fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just appointed a guy as a manager who a year ago walked out on you with the Gerrard and some of your fans blame for loosing the league but now has those fans eating out of his hand as he has mentioned we go for 56 So yeah football fans can be fickle so thanks for pointing out what is very very obvious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not like Peter Lawell or really want him back as he usually has his own self interest at heart however he isn’t stepping into his previous role as CEO or into an executive position so I don’t have the same level of worry as I would if he was as he won’t or at least shouldn’t have the same influence he did before, but don’t mistake me not being as worried to be me being happy, so fill your boots mate.

Im not sure why that would be relevant to your come down on Lawell though, so swing and a miss there. You’ve said you don’t want him back but originally said he was a good option for the role?

Seem a bit conflicting. Personally I would much rather it wasn’t him, I really don’t like how he operated in his final few seasons at the club however I can’t deny he’s a good option in a non exec role having being at the club for the amount of years he was and knowing how it works. It would also be churlish not to recognise the stable footing Celtic have is a lot to do with him. If at the time he was stepping away from CEO into a non exec board role I would have been relatively ok with that and I said that at the time, hard for me to change my opinion on that now Edited December 3, 2022 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to mention his general relationship with the support and horrendous lack of respect for them. Lucky for us though we needed a chairman and Pete was ready and waiting as the best candidate and able to step right in and save us any need for an irritating actual recruitment process, did he happen to be in the showers at the time we needed someone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his son being appointed head of recruitment has he ever really been “away”? Pretty sure that recommendation wasn’t just plucked from thin air and now with hindsight probably should have told us what is now a little more obvious as he still been our spokesperson on the European Club Association Board his ties were never fully cut It is lazy? Yes absolutely however the board is the exact same with the exception of Nicholson as CEO as it was when he left and we know Allison, Bankier, Desmond, McKay, Wilson are all Lawell fans so he was always likely to be floated as the “best” option.
