Who would have thought that things would get much worse at Celtic once Brendan Rodgers left in October?!
Let’s be honest, it was the right call for Rodgers to leave, even though it all unfolded in a quite incredible fashion on that unforgettable Monday evening.
Yes, Martin O’Neill brought life back to Celtic, including stunning wins over Rangers and Feyenoord.
But all of it has come crashing down once again, harder than ever before, as new boss Wilfried Nancy has lost all three games in charge, including the League Cup final to St Mirren on Sunday at Hampden.
You just wonder where Dermot Desmond is now? And where is that statement of his, because his verbal takedown of Rodgers is coming back to slap him in the face.
What do you make of Brendan Rodgers’ new job after leaving Celtic?
Who is creating a ‘toxic’ atmosphere at Celtic, Dermot Desmond?
After Rodgers left, Desmond was pretty quick to put out a statement verbally battering the Treble-winning boss and accusing him of creating a ‘toxic atmosphere’ at the club.
Desmond claimed that Rodgers’ words and actions were ‘self-serving, misleading, and divisive.’
Yet, fast forward to the present, and you wonder why that ‘toxic’ atmosphere is still present?! Rodgers has been out of the door for over a month now.
You could argue that the Celtic supporters and the club haven’t been further apart than when Rodgers was in the building.
Proof of that was Celtic’s chaotic and cancelled AGM, where Dermot probably needed to aim his Rodgers statement at his son, Ross.
Then you have the banning of the Green Brigade, and how Celtic have handled that situation, as the relationship between fans and the board is now beyond repair.
But whilst all of that happens, Celtic’s problems just don’t go away, yet it’s Rodgers who is the one being ‘toxic’, according to some at the club.
The quicker the Celtic board, led by Desmond, are gone, the better it is for the future of Scotland’s most successful football club.
