Originally published at: The mystery of Celtic falling apart against transfer opposition - 67 Hail Hail
Celtic haven’t done an awful lot in the transfer market this January. The Bhoys had been heavily linked to Mark McKenzie, Alfie Doughty and Bright Osayi-Samuel this month. Siriki Dembélé’s trail has gone cold, while at the time of writing, there’s doubt over Ben Davies. Honestly, did you feel as much trepidation as I did when…

Hello Fello Celts, from what I understand about Celtics transfer dealings under Lawwels megalomaniac dictatorship would be as follows. If Celtic were a properly run club ( which we’re now sadly discovering they are not), if the majority shareholder, Dermott Desmond actually cared about Celtic’s long-term future within the game domestically as well as globally, Lawwell would have been sacked (chased from the building) long ago for deliberate negligence of duty towards manager(s) by deliberately going out of his way to undermine all of them at every given opportunity, for the sole purpose of maintaining his position within the corridors of power within Celtic Park
‘McGinn Deal Collapse’ (A F%$K You Message To Brenden Rodgers From Lawwell)
Everything between Lawwell, Rod Petrie, McGinn and his agent had been agreed upon, to the satisfaction of all involved or so everyone thought. McGinn and his agent made their way to Celtic Park, where they were waiting in the club’s lobby before heading up to see Lawwell to go through the formalities of putting pen to paper. Unbeknown to both McGinn and his agent, Lawwel was in the middle of an argument over the phone with Rod Petrie. Lawwell was of the assumption that because McGinn was now in the building and eager to sign for his childhood heroes, that he had the upper hand in forcing an apparent renegotiating of the deal. He wanted Petrie to drop £250’000 of the asking price ( as if Celtic couldn’t afford it but this was done deliberately to sabotage the deal), Petrie told Lawwell were to go and immediately phone McGinn and his agent to inform them that the deal was off with Celtic and that he had excepted an offer from Austin Villa. As we all know Desmond leaves Lawwell to run the club as he see fit, weeks beforehand Lawwell had been informed that Rodgers had told Desmond that he wasn’t happy with the way in which Lawwell interfered with the footballing department and the overall recruitment process, he felt that whatever Lawwel’s agenda was it was holding Celtic back, so Lawwell set out to send a message. The deliberate sabotaging of the McGinn deal was strike one from the megalomaniac narcissist.
Lawwell needs to be removed from Celtic he is slowly killing the club from within, he has destroyed Celtic on the European stage, by holding back the money needed for the ‘Champions League’ qualifiers. He has reduced the club to a laughingstock of European footballing to such an extent that Celtic have now become the whipping boys for Europes smallest clubs.
Domestically, he has overseen the resurrection of a once dead club to the point that NewCo have outperformed us in Europe over the last two seasons and are now on the verge of stopping (what was meant to be the historic 10IAR) by winning the league but as far as Lawwell is concerned having a healthy and resurgent ‘The Rangers’ back in the league is good for long-term business and the future of the SPFL, make of that, what you will, everything isn’t always as it seems.
