Celtic interims: great start to the weekend

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The impact of Champions League group participation on Celtic’s interim accounts for the six month to 31 December 2022 was significant.  Revenue increased by 44.8% to £76m.  That’s more than the entire year’s revenue for the seasons to June 2020 and June 2021.

This was achieved despite the World Cup break, which reduced the number of home games to 14 (2021: 19).  Celtic account for season ticket revenue as games are played, so more revenue will be recognised in the second part of the financial year.  Despite the remarkable increase in income, operating expenses moved little, to £48.3m (2021: £45.8m)

This means that the club are certain to break the revenue record set in season 2017-18, which reached £101m.  One big change from the previous interims is profit from player trading, down to £1.8m from a Edouard-spacular £25.8m a year earlier.  As long as Celtic trade very profitably or reach the Champions League group stage, they will be comfortably in the black.  Achieving both would be transformational for our football budget metrics.

Merchandising – yet again – edged up to £17.4m (2021: £15.3m).  Multimedia and other commercial income rose to £30.8m from £13.9m, reflecting not only Champions League football but the commercially successful Sydney tournament.  More of this kind of thing, please.

You and I have been here before.  Looking back on successful interims only feels right if we are confident of winning the league.  We are currently in that position, with the added benefit of playing for automatic Champions League qualification next term.

Well done to each of the departments behind these figures, and to the Celtic supporters who stand by their club with enormous conviction.

Great start to the weekend!

    Long Good Friday just finished.

     

     

    Stayed up to watch it.

     

     

    Last scene when Bob Hoskins’ character is being driven away to his fate is absolutely fantastic.

     

     

    Lasting 2 minutes not a word is spoken

     

     

    … but the facial expressions Hoskins deploys tells the audience what he is thinking and going through.

     

     

    Brilliant acting.

    I think someone said tickets sold was lesser than expected for our game today. If so, maybe affected by Scotland v England Rugby 🏉 on Telly at 4:45pm. ?

    But there was one man who knocked back coming to Celtic on more than one occasion and had it not been for the persistence of Wim Jansen, he would probably have never adorned the green and white hoops.

     

     

    Speaking on the A Celtic State of Mind podcast, Paul Lambert recalled, “I knew the size of the club and knew that a little bit about it and just knowing some of the lads from Scotland national team.

     

     

    “Wim gave me a chat up at Aberdeen when I was playing with Scotland and asked if I would come to Celtic and the first few times I said no.

     

     

    “Because I was happy at Dortmund and I really enjoyed it there.

     

     

    “And things transpired on different things and he tried it again and I think I signed in November time.

    “And I am going to be totally honest, I was terrible the first few games.

     

     

    “I was absolutely horrendous.

     

     

    “Couldn’t get a grip of it and then I thought I need to try and get the emotion of Dortmund away and concentrate on Celtic.”

     

     

    And that he did. Stopping our rivals’ bid for ten in a row, Lambert went on to have a glittering career at Celtic and to captain another legendary side in the UEFA Cup Seville team.

    Totally agree although someone on here thought it was a great time!

     

     

    Or bus leaving at a sensible time of 1pm rather than our mad 9:30am at the semi. Should remember the game 🤣

    if there are any ‘supporters’ that applies to then they should be immediately banned from all future games at celtic park

    Morning Scullybhoy

     

    Is that you off for the next week?

     

    Some books for you.

     

     

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

     

    Morning JOE

     

     

    Yes, I am off next week and then 6 weeks on the road followed by Easter holidays (visiting Lisboa). So won’t be on The Falls again until the end of April! We must meet up for a wee cup of tea, maybe in the Hatch cafe, which is opposite the RVH.

     

     

    You are a true gent!

    Heard some great stories about Clonard, and I am really looking forward to that tour (An Tearmann et al).

    50 million in bank after adjustments from 59 million. Will be lower end year results but transfer activities this window mitigate fall, so what 40 million in bank at end of finacial year. If celtic qualify for champions league money, likely punt several more fringe players and a couple of big hitters.

     

     

    If everything falls into place as per above, the money needs to go on the team and on infustructure work I.e. Hotel, museum and upgrade of barrowfield etc. Taking g a look around celtic park tells us plenty could be improved. Sitting it all in the bank is pointless.

    17.30hrs on a Saturday night is a terrible time on this date.

     

     

    So much good competitive sporting attraction on the box, punters getting too cosy in the pub and family / romantic nights out for many.

     

     

    I’m not surprised it won’t be a full house.

    17.30hrs on a Saturday night is a terrible time on this date

     

     

    We are running a wee 16 seater and I know of 4 bhoys not going who are on the hts and already paid £25 for nothing!

    So Sam Allardyce thinks Man City might be relegated just like Rangers eh? When was that Sam? Show us any official document from the SFA relegating or demoting Rangers. Go on, we’d all like to see it. You can’t, it never happened. They ceased to exist and a new club started up in a higher tier than they were entitled to. Check your facts mate!

  30. Greenpinata on

    Prestonpans Bhoys,

     

     

    I too cannot make it. My wife has booked a night out which would be suicidal on my behalf to miss.

     

     

    Previously I have went straight from the game to such nights out. I love going to Parkhead and watching away games in the pub, but some things are just more pressing than football.

     

     

    I wonder ; what percentage of CQN’ERS who are fit and able to attend are actually going. ?

     

    Maybe that would determine if its a terrible time for faithful supporters.

     

     

    HH.

  31. Prestonpans bhoys on

    Yeah my daughter can’t make it either but she has arranged for someone to use her ticket.

     

     

    Unfortunately he has to stand beside me 🤭

    My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    On another topic, I would like to see an open invitation inviting former posters back. An amnesty if you like.

     

    We are all aware that Amnesty has been used for far more serious issues in general society.

     

     

    Diversity was a major strength of this blog, individualism was accepted and mavericks were tolerated and welcomed. I have learned so much by posters challenging the establishment narrative.

     

     

    This blog originated to combat lazy journalism, but now if you go against mainstream opinion you face the consequences.

     

     

    One of the the kicked out posters used to talk about cults .

     

    If I may, what is a cult. ( It doesn’t have to be political ). :-

     

    Absolute authoritianism without accountability.

     

    Obedience and fear of alternative thinking.

     

    Zero tolerance for criticism or questions.

     

    Abuse of members.

     

    Unreasonable fears about the outside world that often involve conspiracies.

     

    A belief that any dissent is wrong and never legitimate.

     

    A belief that the leader is right at all times.

     

    A belief that the leader is the exclusive means of knowing truth or giving validation.

     

     

    Frightening isn’t it.

     

     

    HH to diversity non-conformism

    Seems strange that Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow, daughter of Maureen O’Sullivan and a self-professed Catholic would join the OO.

     

     

    Mind you- they did use to sing “The Sash Mia Farrow wore”

    I like to think of myself as the thinking man’s halfwit.

     

    Is there a place for my ilk in your inclusive new world 🤪

    I don`t know who writes the CQN side articles but they are often as bad as the MSSM. This, for example:

     

     

    “Thankfully, the innuendo emanating from across the border has not derailed Postecoglou”.

     

     

    The `innuendo` did not `emanate` from across the border. It was started and promoted In Scotland.
