Celtic board brutally compared to Man United’s ‘disastrous ownership’ as 20-year failure laid bare

Former Sunderland and Charlton board chief Charlie Methven has compared Celtic's board to Manchester United's Glazer ownership, describing both as having disastrous two-decade tenures. Methven claimed that Celtic chiefs are baking failure into their model by hoarding cash reserves rather than investing to improve European performance, drawing parallels to Manchester United's long-term management.

Speaking to Celtic fan podcasts, Methven pointed out that both clubs remain profitable and generate funds directly from supporters without presenting a clear, transparent vision. He argued that the Parkhead hierarchy and the Glazers share similar issues, including stadium decay, fan unrest, and a lack of accountability.
