Celtic CL chances less than 50% so less money talk, Ciftci

203

You know I love a bit of financial chat, but there is so much to do before we can consider the potential £50m that awaits in the Champions League, after Uefa announced a spectacular increase in financial distribution for next season.

We have four rounds to negotiate.  Two, possibly three, will be difficult.  Right now, our chances of going through stand a little below 50%.  There is a lot of work to do in the coming weeks.  Don’t go counting on that £50m yet.

No harm to Nadir Ciftci, who wil leave the club at the end of the month, but he was made for different times.  His talent was evident at Dundee United but his work-rate there never marked him out as a Ronny Deila player.  It was an astonishing signing which sent worrying signs about our recruitment processes at that time.

    Pressure Drops by Toots and the Maytals playing in the background.

    It would effectively remove us from the machinations of the SFA. But I think it might hand the huns a title or two.

     

     

    A small price to pay!

  3. Once we get 10 Bobbio I’m happy to leave the SPL to become a one team league ‘sans celtic’

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    C’mon the Hibs!

     

    ??

  4. Great news, ghuys!

     

     

    We can go now, as we’re already on 19-in-a-row.

     

     

    Unless you bhoys are using ‘official’ records, of course.

     

     

    Now, where do we sign up?

     

     

    Paradise regained.

    I’m sure your transfer fee from Morton had a modern day equivalent of a Mo Bangura or at least Henrik Larsson’s meagre £600k.

     

     

    More illustrious company for you.

     

     

    Hail Hail

  6. Anyway, over at Ayebrokes, it’s not the heat that’s killing them, it’s the humility.

  7. “ The supporters at Celtic are beautiful and I really appreciated the backing that they gave me.

     

     

    “There were ups and downs but I still learnt so much from being part of that club, and it will help with the rest of my career.

     

     

    “Sometimes you learn more from the bad times than the good times.

     

     

    “I’d never regret signing for Celtic. It was the right decision for my career at the time and I enjoyed the good times.

     

     

    “It didn’t work out in the end but I thank every single person at the club — especially the fans.

     

     

    “I have no issues with Brendan or anyone at the club. I worked hard and I had a good relationship. I leave on good terms and I wish them all the best.”

  8. E-Tims …

     

    Better than CQN for full on club gossip !!!???!!!

     

     

    Somebody must have put together a strategy document regarding alternatives for the future.

     

     

    The one I was the EPL cuckoo plan — buy / control a club in League 1 or 2 and get them to the Championship and then do the big MK Dons switcheroo.

     

     

    Then their would be the EPL straight invite when the Zimmerframe Derby starts to lose its lustre.

     

     

    Now we have the Euro league angle.

     

     

    Then there would be the status quo.

     

     

    The one missing would be the organic growth version.

  9. BRTH, aye nice story, but wiz it “succulent lamb” steak, with exquisite red wine? We need tae know ??
