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.

    Come on the HOOPS!

     

     

    Three points needed the day,by the ole TBB clever fag packetery, to keep pace with the high- flyin’ Waccy Baccies.

  2. Looking for 3 points and a decent performance today. Ronny really has to get his system working or start looking at different system for each game.

     

     

    Today I would go 3-5-2

     

     

    We need to boss the midfield and score goals

    agree but not yet and we have not set down any markers.

     

     

    With regards to your possible synopsis.

     

     

    You agree then that it is only about the money and not the principal as far as our custodians are concerned ?

    Glib and shameless liars also running the governance of the game, refs, well that’s not up for debate

  5. Bloody grim day in Oslo. Freezing fog, half-light.

     

     

    Get the woolies on and down to the sports bar for the game.

     

     

    Have a feeling we will run riot today.

    Lads, for those who are in the CQN Saturday Naps competition, please go back and post today’s selection at the end of the previous article :

     

     

    “FA Prem goes international below Uefa radar”

     

     

    All the best, fleagle1888

  7. A new day a new dawn, a nice wee sleep in, had my breakfast and ready to go again.

     

     

    Ronny, strengthen up the midfield, play two up front and we’ll pump them…the yellow brick road is there for the taking, no tin men with no heart, no scarecrows with no brain and defiantly no cowardly lions hiding behind other players…

     

     

    They mushrooms were magic.

  8. Big Georges Fan Club - Hail, Hail, Wee Oscar on

    Hello this is WEE BGFC. Bt just saw your message above we struggled for signal too. Just managed to get two . can you text ht to let him know, thanks for all your help. (Feel bad now)

  9. 67Heaven ... I am Neil Lennon ....The angels are with Wee Oscar in Heaven.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors on

    The lengths sally will go to in order to protect his pies………the hypocrisy in the media is mind-boggling ……. hello, media……..check out mr ming, FGS …..HAHAHAHA …… and some Celtic supporters want the hunhoardes back, to continue to destroy the reputation of Scottish Football, not to mention their negative impact on domestic violence….

  10. In my opinion it is essential that Celtic win today, especially against a team sitting with only 4 points from 9 games. Mid-table mediocrity in mid-October is just not good enough.

     

    Surely there can be no excuses for failure this time?

    Snickers used to be called marathon

     

    British Petroleum used to be called British Persian

     

    GLASGOW Rangers still play at Ibrox

  12. Awe_naw

     

     

    That’s how it’s looking, although I did have some sympathy with the ‘don’t interrupt your enemy’ strategy.

     

     

    I’m also prepared to give some credence to the concern for the safety of Celtic supporters in the event of a club declaration of the true status of Sevco.

     

     

    But, money or not, if Sevco are accepted as “Rangers”, 142 year history and all in the event of them being promoted, you are looking at a “Scottish Football Entertainment” scenario, a farce, which many,quite rightly, will want no part of, no matter how painful that might be to them personally.

     

     

    The clock is ticking.

  13. Well that’s my bathroom spotless now … better be nobody peeing in my shower .

     

     

    And what’s all this about a trip to Belfast when u can’t even make it to the wee hoops for the hootenanthony ( flash mob ) ?

  14. Some help bhoys

     

     

    Bought 4gb internet browser on my mobile.. That be enuf to watch game on celtic tv through my mobile phone personal hotspot ?

    Where does it say that the huns are died – yev lost me ?!??!?

     

    Certainly not on the Celtic website anyway.

     

    The Willo Flood window saved the huns.

     

    Big Mark McGhee didny get the Celtic managers job coz, he’d have went in for the ‘kill’ and buried the bassas unlike the hapless BTM. imho

     

    But, again….the huns will be back in the same league as us next season and, will be out to prove that their anything but – deid.

     

    I would say – “Bring it on!” – but, I’m forgetting that our leaders have cut the quality of the team to the extent that, if we played the huns the morra I’d fear the worst.

    We should be in a position were we’re silavitating at thought of the huns coming back so that we can skelp them to the end of hell.

     

    Instead…..fear seems to be the theme.

     

    Wonder why, eh?

    Your negativity and paranoia shows that you are in need of medical help.

     

    Consult a shrink, don’t forget to take the medication prescribed, and then, GEEZ PEACE!
