Bitter sweet accounts

1056

Detail in our annual accounts for the year to 30 June 2014, released yesterday, are bitter sweet.  It was a good year financially but the successes were underpinned by qualification for the Champions League.  This season’s revenue will be lucky to rise much above £50m, from last season’s £64m.

I see lots of comment on Peter Lawwell’s £400k bonus.  The key figure to concentrate on executive pay is the basic (in this case £524k), not the bonus.  Celtic executive pay, including manager, chief exec and scouts, should heavily incentivise qualification for the Champions League.  If we’re in the Champions League, all other objectives become possible.  Failure to qualify brings a range of risks; so the execs should feel the pain of failure in the pocket.

Basic pay should be appropriate for the work (this goes for all staff at the club, of course), but there is ample room to incentivise everyone, from executives, to kiosk staff, to stewards, on club performance or service objectives, as appropriate.  Would doing so tackle many of the stewarding and service issues we see regularly? Would be interesting to find out.

    Sorry mate finances don’t come into it when your team loses you don’t say ah well it’s alright we haven’t got a big budget..

     

     

    The endless talk of finances on here is in danger of swamping the idea of fitbaw teams being fitbaw team, fair play to Hamilton they wiped the floor with Aberdeen who are total pash..

  2. Hamilton Accies … Home support 3000? Highest earner £1500?

     

    ….

     

     

    Looks like RD underachieving?

    But what about when you have SNP astronomical budget compared to the others

  8. Folks that flash update has caused me problems with my laptop,I have had to restore my settings to get fix the issue

  9. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    On a lighter note, at least one team wearing the hoops is scoring goals, not conceding and are top of the league.

     

     

    What is it with teams who don’t have royal blue in their club colours have their tracksuits & club t shirts in that colour? Am I missing something.

  10. Leftclicktic

     

     

    Awaiting the results :-)

    ever become multi billionaires.

     

     

    —————

     

     

    by not investing in celtic ?

  12. ….PFayr supports WeeOscar

     

     

    Your point was that the Aberdeen fans would be less pissed off than us as they don’t have our budget, which in my opinion is bollocks, you’ve now turned my wee joke about the sheep into a stick to bash Celtic with, carry on knock yersel’ out mate..

  13. PFayr

     

    RD has no option.

     

    His tactics so far this season have been utter mince.

     

    He must revert to tried and tested tactics

     

    that the players are comfortable with.

    you hit the nail on the head regarding the disconnect between

     

    club and support particularly when clowns like bankier tell

     

    us to behave they really are on a different planet.

    Melbourne Mick

     

     

    Hi Mick, thanks for the post, yes the wee man was so special to me a little boy growing up in Govanhill in the 60’s, saw him so many times, my dad lifting me over the turnstiles at CP and telling me not to move from the front of the Celtic end!! God knows what he would think of the current board and their attitude to the fans, shocking really.

     

     

    Hail Hail
