The Football League in England have woken up to the notion that they do not have a working business model. Solidarity payments from the FA Premier League’s new TV deal will earn Championship clubs £2.3m a season (considerably more than Celtic will receive from TV for winning the SPL), with League One sides earning £324k and League Two sides earning £250k.
Unfortunately, for those hoping to establish a well-balanced and competitive structure, parachute payment to those relegated from the Premier League will earn each club £69m (£23m in year one, £18m in year two and £9m in years three and four).
The Guardian report that today Championship clubs are expected to warn the Premier League that they risk permanently damaging the “integrity of the Football League” by increasing parachute payments to the proposed level. An unusual case of a group asking for some of its members to receive less money.
The Football League doesn’t have a viable business model. Clubs spend unsustainable amounts of money trying to attain the riches of the Premier League, where they can add zeros to both income and expenditure. Most fail and many of them plummet down the divisions. Even those who drop into the Championship with parachute payments (albeit at the old level) find deleveraging too difficult.
The SPL doesn’t have a viable business model either. They should be talking to the Football League and see what benefits could accrue from working together.
10 years ago tonight:
Liverpool 0-2 Celtic
Bang! Celtic are in a European semi final.

Happy premature 49th birthday wishes for you tomorrow my friend ( you sure that number has been properly stockchecked!?).
————————-
i was 49 yesterday, saint josephs day,
my mam and TTTT must have been in the rankin at the same time,
i dont believe it,
The Boy Jinky.
Just a wee change of scenery,I was there a couple of years ago, and said ‘ I’ll be back’ in a Swartzenagger voice, so I’m going back,I enjoyed the company then,and I’ll enjoy the company now.
Travelling on the King Lud Supporters bus to Celtic Park, and then back to Wishaw.
Evening bhoys, hun free as ever, and reasonably warm as well.

Over the past week or so, I have noticed a change of tone in your posts, a negative hint if I may be so bold.
I reckon you know that the game is well and truly fecked, the agenda has been set and nothing will deter them from achieving their goal.
I honestly don’t know why they don’t just hand over the spl trophy now and be done with it, cos they will not rest till they are the top dogs again, and are in receipt of the euro cash they need.
I may be picking you up all wrong, but that is my belief anyways, and I see nothing that gives me even the slightest glimmer of hope that I am wrong.
Ah, the Liverpool game, watched it in a bar just outside Dublin, as I had every other euro game that year, the split was about 80/20 in favour of them, but it was expected, no bother mind you, only problem was I missed the final in the same bar we had won every other game in, I reckon that’s the reason we lost the final, although, the cheating barstewards and the little hun ref could have had something to do with it as well….

Good stuff. In those days Glasgow was a real sporting town.

SFTB – some quick numbers
If that other mob are fast tracked 10k Celtic fans walk at say £25 a ticket, costs Celtic £4.75 million minimum ( 19 home games)?
if 10k fans from the other 11 teams combined walked away, at £20 a ticket, costs £7.6 million (38 games & this figure may be wrong),
This may cost a minimum of £12 million in fans alone.
How would this be re-couped.
May be worth asking this type of question to those trying to divide us
Hail Hail

That’s great,the way I read kikinthenakas I thought you were talking about a drink in Glasgow. I’ll be there about 2-2.30pm,looking forward to it.
We could turn the building into a retirement home for old CQNers. God only knows we’re going to need one.
From there they could harangue the whole Celtic family when the notion takes them.
We could build them a tunnel straight to the holding cells in Parkhead and set them up with a wee shebeen.

Drink meet details would be appreciated via txt. Cheers.

Has Andy Walker got any track record of having the inside track at Celtic??
I hear him commentating and he sounds like the run of the mill Scottish dumbdit.
Celtic must know that any support for sevco’s return would decimate the support and are we not financially much better off without them, e.g. CL cash??
I agree with you though that the club should be considering very well a statement to put an end to all this subterfuge and mis-information that is currently kicking around..
It’s a tortue is whit it is!

The Celtic Board are too busy being professional business types and being fans to be bothered to reply to every twerp (Gray, Walker today) who makes a contentious statement which sort of puts us in a bad light.
Red top headline ;” Celtic Board secure clubs long term future and show class on the field of play”
Yes , this headline will never happen.
Ignore the twits spouting off crap on the various components of the MSM and enjoy the game. Saturday was a roller coaster , but thoroughly enjoyable!
Just imagine if we had Chals, off to finish my pint its half full!

agreed!!!
Happy belated birthday to you.

See Sevco are investigating the Tommy/Sandaza phone conversation. What odds they will try to say Sandaza is in breach of contract and try to get him off their books for free.

looks like 5th April.. I’ll firm it up with oldtim and let you know

a real challenge for our historians,
did any pupil of London road primary school ever play for Celtic ?
Ghuys,
The club replying to randomn twerps , just invites more rubbish from the aformentioned twerps, and when we are silent, we must have something to hide because we made a statement before …..vicious downward spiral ensues
Learn to laugh at the MSM crap, let it wash over you …….. Sevco are in Div 3 / we are in the CL , what is not to like?
Who cares what an ex Celtic player from 1994 who was part of the failure against Raith Rovers and has had no connection with the club for what nearly 20 years ……. poppycock as it was once famously and generously described.

Thanks for the welcome and the obligatory question. Last time I looked in the mirror I was still alive so I can’t be a hun.
Been enjoying CQN for ages. My work means that I’m in England a lot during the week and have found myself spending a Friday night catching up on the weeks posts while demolishing a fine bottle of red. Much to the annoyance of Mrs.TT.
Not away this week so all is well.

What Andy Walker knows about: ‘behind the scenes’ at Celtic Park could be written on the back of a bus ticket……………………………
and there would still be space to list the number of good games he had for CFC!
The ole CQN taxi debate.

Awrra best and many of them.

I thought that as well, but I doubt that sandaza said anything that could merit a contract termination.
He could always play the language thing, and Chuck won’t want anything that could derail his plans.
I reckon they will fine him a couple of weeks wages for being so stupid.
