Being taken for a brainless clown

629

I like Alex Ferguson.  He likes his football and cannot hide the respect in which he holds Jock Stein and the great Celtic team of the 60s and 70s.  Like you and I, Alex is immersed in the history of the game here, a history he contributed significantly to at Aberdeen.

So, when questioned by the Daily Record on the potential shuttering of Hampden, his overwhelming reaction was for the loss of history:

“… leaving your history behind you

“You’re throwing away all that fantastic history

“history you are throwing away

“That’s a fantastic history

“history has been formed

“The history of Hampden is riddled with fantastic games

“We need history to tell us where we’re going”

No football fans are more immersed in history than Celtic fans, it sustained us through many a dark day, so these words will resonate with you.  But fear not, there is a solution!

They can raze Hamden to the ground and have another venue BUY THE HISTORY!  Why didn’t this occur to such a great mind?  Buying history is a fairly straightforward issue in Scotland.  I now own the Crimean War, which I purchased from a guy in Edinburgh last week.

The same vendor was selling the Renaissance, which I would love to own, as I would really like to have painted the Sistine Chapel in the 16th century, but he was wanting £1000 for that, and an internal voice told me I was being taken for a brainless clown.

    Good call. Lost a very good friend in May last year and it’s my mum’s anniversary on April 4th. We lost her just before UEFA semi-final in 2003. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed Rest in Peace.

    I was wondering why you are surprised we have so much rain, it’s raining again today btw, it’s a very different world here to the costas, I mean a very different world, for a kick off I am 800 mts above sea level, it gets hot in the summer, it hits 50 from time to time but on average it’s mid 40s for a couple of months, and it hits -16 at times in the winter, a very different world than the humid costas mi amigo :-)

    Unaudited accounts are not worth the paper they are printed on.

    UNAUDITED TRADING RESULTS

     

    for the six months to 31 December 2017

     

     

    The results for the six months to 31 December 2017 represent an encouraging financial

     

    performance, allowing for having two fewer home cup games compared to the same period last

     

    year.

     

    Revenue for the period was £19.4m, an overall increase of £3.1m over the comparative period. This

     

    was a result of three main factors:-

     

     enhanced attendances, increasing ticketing and hospitality revenue, despite the two fewer

     

    games;

     

     a new retail deal which has generated increased revenue for the six months;

     

     an increase in sponsorship and commercial revenues.

     

    Operating expenses excluding amortisation of players’ registrations increased by £3.5m compared to

     

    the comparative period. The main driver of this was the investment made by the Club in the playing

     

    squad and football department, encompassing scouting, recruitment and performance analysis.

     

    Alongside this, there has been a marked increase in matchday activity spend. Hopefully fans are

     

    seeing the benefit of new initiatives around the Fan Zones, Family Stand and on-pitch

     

    entertainment, as well as ongoing refurbishment around the concourses and wider Stadium.

     

    The net impact of these factors is that the operating result reduced, from a profit of £0.3m in the

     

    comparative period, to a loss of £1.1m. Given the investment detailed above, the Board is

     

    comfortable with this planned level of loss reported, and are satisfied that the results for the full

     

    year will continue to have the Club on a sure financial footing.

     

    During the period the Club posted a gain on the sale of player registrations amounting to £1.2m.

     

    At the period end, a total of £17.7m of investor loans have been provided interest-free to the Group.

     

    The amortisation of the loans using the effective interest rate method resulted in other nonoperating

     

    charges amounting to £0.8m. Subsequent to the period end, new short-term external

     

    funding has been secured providing the Club with greater financial flexibility.

     

    As a result of the above, the Club posted an overall loss for the period of £0.9m.

     

    Approved by the Board and signed on its behalf by:

     

     

    Dave King, Chairman
