a life long fan turned us down to continue to work for St Mirren

Did he though?  I don't think he did.

He did - fan media reported that he had turned down the job. 

 

And of that is the only point you are contesting I'll assume you agree with all the other legitimate points in made. 

 

Still waiting for the position to be filled, maybe Santa will bring us a new CEO.

I have a recollection that there had been a previous meeting with the fans, prior to the "lie" meeting you refer to, and the CEO was asked about a contingency plan and the fan was told that such a plan wasn't required as everything would be on time. Does anyone else recall hearing that, or was what I heard a misquote from the documented meeting?

Exactly how I recall it as well.

Which fan media?  A reliable source?  Do we have any proof or verification?

As much as you have that he didn't knock us back. Believe what you will and in the grand scheme of things, its not that important.

 

The important part of my post was that we still don't have a CEO which is just one of a few crucial roles within the club that are unfilled or being done on a temporary basis.

Maybe the reason we don’t have a ceo or a director of football and someone to head up the academy is that we don’t have the money to pay the salary that you have to pay to get the right person .

Baseless accusations can have consequences.

I think if we can spunk 25k a week and £4m on Sam Lammers on a 4 year deal then we can afford executives.

 

Which is my gripe, don't lowball candidates and be cheap, pay good money and get a stellar candidate.

 

If we can get a brilliant CEO and AD in for the same price as a big first team signing for 4/5 years then do it.

 

It needs to be treated like a transformational signing, but then there would need to be a visible and distinct plan in place for their tenure.

 

Yet to see one post 2012 tbh. Unless you count Gerrards aura as being a plan.

What consequences? Is he going to come after me? Doubt he reads Gersnet or Follow Follow or any of the fan media sites that reported he had turned us down. 

 

Again you've body swerved the real concern of the point being discussed. 

 

I'm out of this discussion as it always degenerates to you asking questions and not answering questions. 

 

You believe what you want to believe about this and the other points I raised, I'll continue to believe what I believe.

I wonder when we'll decide the right time to panic / revolt / remove the board?

 

Will it be after 1 title in 14 years? 1 in 15? 1 in 20? 

 

It appears us fans have only two plans at the moment ;

 

Plan A - hope this board somehow turns us around despite gross mismanagement up to this point.

 

Plan B - hope that Celtic fall apart.

 

Neither plan seems feasible to me.
