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.

03:31 on 21 March, 2013
When the cops come to you’re home and ask have you ever contributed one pound to Glasgow Celtic football club who are considered nothing more than Nazis or communists or muslims (whatever reprobates take your pick) which jail will you pick?

Pragmatism sometimes means having to swallow,sadly.
MAGS 0348
Come on-you had a go at MACJAY for a less-stupid-than-that-one question earlier……
Barlinnie huh?
I love that “come on lets support Celtic anywhere” mentality. I love the self rightoeus indignation pound. It means a lot to me. Not as much as it does Celtic though.
MAGS
Catch ya later-off to my scratcher wi a wee smile on my face from your reply……
One day we will overcome all evil in the world and the human race will make it to the moon one day. Ridiculous I know. In the meantime we have to appease huns. Somehow it will work out. Trust me.

Depraved indifference to their own rules. Match fixing. Lying. Paybacks. Corruption that can be attested to in affidavits.
This is just the charges that can be proven in court based on current irrefutable public knowledge, who knows what a law suit may flush out?
Have you been following any of this shit (oops pardin my poodin apologies I meant to say these outrages) or am I missing something?

Campbell Ogilvie? Are you retarded or just pretending to be thick as a brick for some ozzie brownie points ?
Mag
From recent experiences,particularly the result of the trial of the man accused of the assault on Lenny,would you have any confidence in achieving a fair result ?
You have confidence in Scottish Law?
I don`t.
Now, if the late Mr.Mc Bride were still with us.
GG Great post.
Perfectly comprehensive.
Maggie Great post.
Perfectly comprehensible.
Supporters groups need to have a Huddle, before we can all have a Cuddle.
Can they facilitate a dignified exit/retreat..?
Seems to me the SSM stood on the Ladys’ toes…
Not saying he is not a good dancer like…
And it is nothing compared to the irresponsible hubris of Scottish Fitba’ administrators and politicians… Could anyone conjure up a dignified retreat from past events?
Difficult.
Plenty food for thought…

Mag 4.18
I`ve been following the culture of anti-Celtic behaviour for decades.You don`t have to detail the instances.
There`s only one question.
What can be done to achieve an acceptable outcome?
You feel the Courts.I don`t.

Thwart Sevco in any way ….Celtic need to slit the throats of the young hyena cubs
We`re at cross purposes here.
You say:
” I have no confidence in any justice ”
Agreed.
It was you who suggested suing.
Mag
Gorra go.
Big politics going on in Oz right now.

better than taking it up the ass. Leads to attention which is all Celtic can hope for Platini wise. However, I agree with you most Scots like being analised. Something to do with childhood, guilt, William Wallace, John Knox, cold rain and some things being illegal.
I remember watching the liverpool game in the house with my dad and wee cousin absolutely brilliant game and result However, the fondest memory I have is sitting in Gabriels pub in Paisley, with the same gruesome twosome, andwhen BBJ scaffed his shot in me and my wee cousin jumped up in celebration and my dad sat there quite quiet?? “He couldnae’ve hit it any worse” he says?? We still extract the urine from him for it to this day ;-) Good times!
I just love being a Celtic fan ;-)
Good morning friends from a beautifully clear skied, bright but very frosty East Kilbride. Windscreen scrapers at the ready…
Jobo:
Windowsreen scrapers, I have nightmares about them. It is bloody Spring. ..:)

Hail Hail!
Morning all, pleasant but chilly in West Lothian.
Apparently Sevco need fast tracked to save Scottish football.
If that is the case it would be better off dead.
We must get out sharpish, the stench of cheating, corruption and Masonic influence is gut wrenching.
Ghood morning from a very cold and icy Kirkwall…
-1 in the spring time!!!!
Morning Celts,
Jobo another clear and calm morning along the Fylde coast and a wee bit better now the suns coming up, bliddy freezing at 5am with the Irish sea looking calm innaw.
Whits the news, have we announced the fightback yet or are we meakly accepting that rangers gained no sporting advantage……. doh!
Corrupt Scottish football, why are we in it still?
