Celtic interims report turnover up

571

Celtic published a decent set of interim results this afternoon for the 6 months to 31 December 2015 but chairman, Ian Bankier’s address gets down to business with, “One the park, it has been a frustrating season”.

The sale of Virgil van Dijk contributed to a £12.6m income for player trading, balanced by £6.1m spent on the acquisition of Jozo Simunovic, Scott Allan, Saidy Janko Ryan Christie and Nadir Ciftci. This brought pre-tax profit to £11.7m, with cash in the bank at £7.7m (up from £5.3m a year earlier).

Turnover was up by an inch to £31.4m as the club traded at an operating profit for the period of £1.564m (before player trading). The second half of the year is devoid of European football income, not that the Europa League is that much of a game changer.

I know financial stability isn’t an end in itself, but it’s important nonetheless.

    Thanks for your response, I don’t expect anything in return as a rule.

     

     

    The stupid elements of your post;

     

     

    1) I’ve always been able to see the deeper picture – who told you that, Jacques Cousteau?

     

     

    2) Now I’ve never been more ashamed of what Celtic has become – is now today, this week, last month?

     

     

    3) None of that really matters that much – ok, then.

     

     

    4) The horror that is the Celtic board’s desire to divide us – are they dividing us(ha!) or is it just a horrible desire?

     

     

    5) Don’t you see homing is at stake here? – in English please?

     

     

    No worries about any of this, Not Going Out has nearly finished.

  3. Cultsbhoy,

     

    At least you seen it as a joke,

     

    That’s good to hear.

     

    A joke is a joke.

    A jukebox hit.you may not have heard.

     

     

    – Not heard that version before. Brother was a massive R.O. fan in the day.

     

    Bought a lot of his stuff on CD not long ago myself. He had good taste my dear

     

    departed brother. Lifted me over as a lad into Paradise. 1965 Cup Final the

     

    earliest game i really remember.

    Just like my dear departed brother who took me to the 7-1 game and stood over me to protect me when the bottles started flying……and that was from our mob. :-(

     

     

    I was at the `65 game also. Too big to be lifted over.:-) What a day. Little did we know on that day what triumphs Jock would bring us.

  11. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on 13th February 2016 2:38 am –

     

    65….aye, a good game to remember. the start of it all. What the hell were they throwing bottles for ? 7-1 ?

     

    Just as well we didnt get beat. Maybe they were wanting double digits……ha ha.

    Just the way it was,mate.

     

    Celtic 2-0 up at half time shooting in to the Celtic end.

     

    I think we went 3 up and then Billy Simpson scored with a header right down in front of us.

     

    I think that`s what may have caused the reaction. My brother and I were side by side at a barrier.When the bottles started,he moved behind me.

     

    Goes to show.We may have our probs today,but nothing as destructively stupid as that.

  13. macjay1 for Neil Lennon on 13th February 2016 2:38 am –

     

     

    Well, better get some shut-eye. Big game later. Bliddy Youtube is so addictive isnt it.

     

    Goodnight macjay1 and all fellow Tims.

     

    Hail Hail.

  14. I have no idea what Mags has said.

     

    A wee word of Warning.

     

     

    Don’t watch any Quentin Tarantino film, especially not Django Unchained.

     

     

    At the End the Black guy Wins as well. Don’t watch it because it is So offensive.

    The Communist (Kojo said so) style SNP and their incessant introduction of unneccesary laws, the latest I heard they are gonnae fine people who put their Car on a pavement. The laws are already there to deal with things like this.

    I used to get lifted over….home and away.

     

    If not,my uncle would pay………half a crown. Sometimes ninepence.

     

    I used to be in the middle of the Celtic end singing all the forbidden songs……..Sean South, the Thompson gun,

     

    the huns on New Years day.

     

    Who doesn`t understand your lads wanting to be part of the G.B.
