13 titles in 14 years. Won 21 of the last 27 domestic trophies available. Started this season with 3 wins from 3.
Draw 1 game and they want to sack the board. Clowns.
The fan base are well aware that the team can probably coast along in the Scottish Premiership and the domestic cups and carry on winning them.
What they aren’t happy about is the perceived lack of ambition of the board to spend the money they’ve been generating for the last few seasons from domestic/European pots and major player sales on building a squad that can compete in the Champions League. The current board seem content to be just one point ahead of Rangers, but it seems obvious that Rodgers is just as frustrated as the fans.
Celtic could probably spend 50m and not be able to compete in the Champions league though, because they're going up against teams who can spend more than that on 1 player.
The other night though they still had a 9m striker and brought on an 11m sub.

It’s more about building a base squad over several seasons and scouting for those relative bargains, which they have managed to dig up previously. Yes, they’ll sell them on and will likely miss out on the bigger fees paid in other leagues (think Van Dijk, Jeremiah Frimpong), but they seem to the fans to have let the manager down this close season after losing a number of key players in recent months. The extended CL format gives them great opportunities, but the board seem oblivious to that.
I was surprised when they signed Idah. I’m an Irishman. I want him to do well, but he was never worth the fee paid and that’s been evident so far. Haven’t really been paying attention recently, so not sure why Engels isn’t starting.
