Celtic Fans Collective put focus on Michael Nicholson after survey commitments

The Celtic Fans Collective have continued their open questioning of members of the Celtic board.

Michael Nicholson has come into focus after his vow to act on the feedback received in Celtic’s Fan Survey, which was two years ago at this point.

A key gripe of the Collective is the club’s lack of communication. Celtic are yet to make a signing in the transfer window, and Martin O’Neill’s backroom staff are yet to be confirmed.

There is also no sign of restructure or change away from the dugout.

Celtic Fans Collective on Michael Nicholson: risking more disharmony

“We were delighted with the response to the fan survey.

“We want to make improvements for the supporters across the club, primarily across communications and supporter engagement process.

“We will look at improvements to the stadium to be implemented this year.”

The collective said in response: “In a pre-recorded interview shown at Celtic’s plc AGM in November, Michael Nicholson committed to acting on the feedback provided by supporters through the Fans Survey — completed more than two years ago.

“Beyond the launch of a Club app, what supporter feedback has been acted upon, Michael?”

They also pointed out the lack of progress on the football front, in reference to Brian Wilson’s words in April: “It’s going to be a big summer.

“I expect everyone will have learned lessons from things which influenced this season. There is huge effort assured in the summer so that we face next season in the strongest possible position.

“We have to have the best possible chance going into next season — that is the absolute commitment to supporters.”

The Collective said in response: “We are awaiting confirmation of Martin O’Neill’s backroom staff.

There is nobody overseeing recruitment, key players are set to leave and we face the biggest rebuild in years.

“Meanwhile, two supporters are facing potential bans and continued harassment from the club, risking more disharmony in stands.

“What lessons are being learned, Brian?”
