I have met him once and you are correct, Michael Nicholson has no presence, vision or ambition whatsoever.
He may have been a decent club lawyer but he was a novice with absolutely no track record when we appointed him as CEO. A rookie who has stumbled from one disaster to the next, aided and abetted by his partner in crime, CFO Chris McKay.
He has presided over three failed transfer windows on the bounce. The one before that, we overpaid for Engels, Trusty & Idah due to the absence of any kind of negotiating ability.
The deal for Idah, in particular, was enough for Nicholson to come under serious scrutiny. When we brought him in on loan, Norwich had been in negotiations with Hellas Verona with an option to buy of £3.5m. We brought him in with no option, and you know the rest.
Nicholson had oversight of Tisdale’s appointment, failing to replace Kyogo or Kuhn, losing out on Champions League football to Kairat, banning the ultras and fan media, Rodgers’ messy departure, allowing O’Neill to leave prior to three huge games, the Nancy debacle, and continued transfer window failures.
Not to mention the relationships with agents and other clubs that have been destroyed, leading to more difficulties in future transfer windows.
Michael Nicholson’s tenure as CEO of Celtic has been an unmitigated disaster and he should be relieved of his duties at the first opportunity.
After going down to 10 men you can’t grumble at a draw. Celtic probably hang on and win that game if our defensive reinforcements off the bench weren’t Dane Murray and Tony Ralston

Another lovely sign of transfer market neglect
😳 Justin Hood that is RIDICULOUS! Happy Feet puts in an incredible display of finishing to see off the potentially Premier League bound Josh Rock.
Hood hit his first 11 darts at double, before missing four in one leg, eventually getting the job done with a sensational 119 checkout!

Not even an exaggeration to say that the only fans you can hear at Celtic park tonight were the Roma ones
Another mortifying situation that there isn’t an end in sight for
We're now at the point where we're seriously gambling the league title.
Material harm being done to Celtic from within the club by the senior executive staff, chairman and Desmond.
Very much feels this window is a point of no return. Not entirely sure they grasp the anger
