Celtic fans are not happy with the board.
That much is clear. From the infamous shower appointment of Neil Lennon to the shambolic coordination of the ten in a row season and the insane three month pursuit Eddie Howe, the fans have been left disenchanted with the direction in which the club is being taken.
Even the fabled January review is still nowhere to be seen and whatever was Gordon Strachan doing at the club anyway? Where is his report? In fact, what even was his remit??

As the club lumber on still without a permanent CEO, Director of Football or Head of Recruitment, the shareholding fans are being urged by the Celtic Trust to use their voice in club matters.
Celtic fans ‘own’ 17.25% of the club and The Celtic Trust are determined to get those fans to use their proxy vote to use their vote to tell the club exactly what they think of their guardianship of the club.
In a series of tweets, The Trust said:
Fans already own a large chunk of our club including those 27,897 individual small shareholders.
Where are those 27,897 fans? Can you help us find them?
The majority do not currently use their shares to have a say in decisions at our club.
We need a loud, united, fan voice! pic.twitter.com/BMLwuuVeWx

It is 27 years since shares were offered to fans and the number of untraced shares is growing every year. This has two direct consequences:-
1. Many fans are unable to have a say in the management of club affairs
2. Preference shareholders are unable to receive their dividends.

A Register of shareholders exists but if a shareholder moves home and doesn’t inform the Registrar of their new address this becomes out of date.
Due to this, many fans who bought into our club are now disconnected from their shares and the power that comes with them.

Did you buy shares in Celtic in 1994?
Did any of your relatives or pals buy shares?
Did you gift shares or receive a gift of shares?

If we were to locate just 5% of the 17.25% individual small shareholders – we’ll have more power as fans.
We’ll have a larger voting bloc at AGMs, meaning a louder fan voice, and 👉🏼 the right to call a general meeting. #DriveForFive 🖐🏽 pic.twitter.com/HlYPiqE97o

And probably one of the most important tweets in this thread:
Joining the webcast of the AGM will not constitute formal attendance at the meeting and you will not be permitted to speak or vote on the business of the AGM via the webcast.
Don’t lose your vote. Proxy or use it!
