A lengthy club statement explaining recent recruitment<\/a> was met with widespread derision<\/a> and prompted an open letter from fans groups demanding answers for “repeated failures in transfer dealings”.<\/p>\n Those groups have since released a joint communication saying their concerns have “still to be addressed” despite the open letter “representing tens of thousands of Celtic fans”.<\/p>\n They cite a survey with 38,832 respondents and say there is an “overwhelming consensus” to back the following strategy.<\/p>\n “To build on the recent ‘no confidence’ votes on the Celtic FC board, seeking the removal of Michael Nicholson, CEO, Chris McKay, CFO, Peter Lawwell, chairman.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “To build a strategic, escalatory campaign against the Celtic board.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “To build a democratic and representative fan body.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “To coordinate a ‘late entry’ protest at Kilmarnock v Celtic to further visualise and vocalise fan discontent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “To help progress these points and the fan movement generally, a steering group of volunteers is being assembled.”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n The joint statement ends: “It is natural that there will be a mix of feeling regarding some actions or inaction, however the most important consideration at this stage is maintaining, building and utilising broad fan support.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
