If Celtic starts new season weaker than last year then Board will be held accountable

If we start the season weaker than last, then the board have to held accountable…

So far it looks like Kasper Schmeichel is the only bit of business being done by Brendan Rodgers as we get ready for a pre-season trip to the United States.

Schmeichel will take over from Joe Hart, but it still leaves us much weaker than last season with Paulo Bernardo and Adam Idah still a bit away from agreeing a permanent deal, and of course the departure of Oh who joined Belgian side Genk yesterday.

Also it’s only a matter of time before Matt O’Riley departs, so it’s not looking very promising with the start of the new season only three weeks away.

We weren’t exactly firing in all cylinders last term, and despite finishing the season with a domestic double it was clear to see that our squad badly needed an injection of quality. That’s what makes it all the more frustrating that we haven’t done any business in the transfer market.

Not only have we had the time to look for the necessary quality, we’ve had the luxury of knowing that we’ve banked a healthy sum after securing automatic qualification to the new look Champions League. Not to mention season ticket sales and a reported record turnover. We’ve got the means and we have to use these resources to back the manager in his aim to bring in the required quality needed.

Sure we haven’t got a head of recruitment, but I’m sure Brendan has his own list of targets. The fact that we haven’t even brought any in is slightly concerning with the season opener against Kilmarnock fast approaching.

If we start the new season weaker than last season then the board have to be held accountable. It’s nothing but sheer negligence from a Board who like to watch closely what’s happening across the city and this summer’s fiasco at Ibrox will likely lead to a reduction in the spending ambitions at our own club.

In their eyes the title is looking a sure thing as theRangers implode and they can ride out a few thrashings in the Champions League as a price worth paying for the huge sums that will be earned as a consequence.

There only problem is that this time the Celtic support can see it coming and won’t buy Brendan as the fall guy this time around. Back the manager and do it now!
