Celtic interims show what a stable club looks like

869

Celtic interim accounts for the 6 months to 31 December were released this afternoon.  The standout figure is that, despite Champions League revenue being absent this year, football and stadium income was down from £16.8m to a similar £16.5m.  This suggests other ticket sales increased.

The hit from the lack of Champions League came in the multimedia and commercial column, which was down from £19.5m to £7.9m, but the club still make an operating profit of £3.2m.  So, we’ve a fairly solid club on our hands.

We invested £5.7m in players, while making a profit of £7.1m on disposals.  With player trading, tax and interest all accounted for, we made a profit for the period of £6.601m.  This Armageddon thing is working out quite well.

    The consensus seems to be that sevco’s EGM is being held in London in an attempt to dilute the votes in favour of the current Board ……. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Police ‘recommended’ it to reduce civil unrest…? ….. You won’t get the smsm speculating on THAT suggestion though…..bless them ….hahahaha

    Tasty Scottish Cup tie with Dundee’s Hun apologists to come.

     

     

    And Hun Monkeys is still Hun Monkeys.

  7. MODI WANTS TO INVEST AT IBROX

    Busted for coke, done for kidnap, banned from Indian cricket – now he wants to buy Rangers.

     

     

    Seems like a good fit !!!!!!

     

     

    btw – all Peter Lawwell haters – it was he who told Lenny that Kris was quote: “going nowhere”

    You can see why he likes using one main striker only.

     

     

    Under RD it’s one out and out striker and the rest are midfielders if you include

     

    going up for corners etc.

  9. Hello again all you young rebels.

     

     

    Interesting day today, thought i would go out early to the local

     

    pub and have a quiet pint, sitting there with my pint of guinness

     

    and in he comes Billy the bigot, now your probably wondering

     

    how i knew, maybe it was the royal blue tight pants that George

     

    Michael wore when he was with Wham, or maybe it was the way

     

    he asked for a beer ” right doll geez a a beer ‘ but i just knew

     

    as you never see a dark side strip anywhere here.

     

    The barmaid an Oz not a clue about anything except what i’ve

     

    told her about Bonnie Scudland says to him,

     

    “oh your a scot do you know Mick over there he’s a scot as well”

     

    he had a quick furtive look and maybe it was my bald head or maybe

     

    the smirk on my face but really it was my Celtic top but whatever

     

    he necked his beer and shot out the pub.

     

    The barmaid said ” well that wasn’t very nice i thought all you Scots

     

    were very sociable”

     

    So do i defend peoples perception about Scotland or do i try and be

     

    diplomatic,

     

    so i said ” its quite sad, he’s lost a loved one”

     

    Oh Shame, ” was she sick or was it sudden?

     

    ” No it was a long illness but it finally brought her down.

     

    ” I don’t understand Mick your saying that and your laughing.

     

    ” It’s a long story, sit down and learn.

    FFM re your post at 00:20

     

     

     

    Id really apprecate some clarity from you.

     

     

    Im referencing your paragraph about my Burns quote (actually you misquoted me but hey-ho).

     

     

    Are you accusing me of being a Hun or is it someone else ?

     

     

    I found myself thinking Awe naw that cant be right.

     

     

    But really liked this:

     

     

    “What made me laugh aloud was the quote from Rabbie Burns, used by some here today, without the ability to look in the friggin mirror:

     

     

    O wad some Power the giftie gie us

     

    To see oursels as ithers see us!”

     

     

    Its funny you laughed out loud, read your own words:

     

     

    ” So anyone making flippant moans about “discuss it on another blog” can gtf in my opinion”.

    I thought on the off chance you might.

     

    I have seen you make reference to a big guy called Charlie, second name escapes me at the moment, who sings and plays guitar.

     

    If it is the same guy I believe I gave him a lift from Weeze Airport to Cologne when Ireland played Germany in the World Cup in October 2013. He has also spent a bit of time in Baku?

    The only feesible improvement I can predict, would be for Johansen to go left, take Stokes off, and bring Forrest on wide right…?

    phyllis dietrichson,

     

     

    Charlie Devlin, that’s the Bhoy I was trying to remember his name. I’ve seen him referenced few times on here by yourself and others. He gave me an XL Baku Bhoys Celtic shirt which I’m afraid I could not wear because my size is FB.

     

    Well enjoy today’s game wherever you watch it.

    Celtic’s hope of getting a good rest ahead of today’s Scottish Cup clash went up in smoke – after the fire alarm went off at the team’s Dundee hotel.

     

     

    The stars had a rude awakening as the Malmaison was evacuated in the early hours of the morning.

     

     

    Pictures uploaded to Twitter show the stars standing in the city’s Whitehall Crescent, with one reveller quick to get a snap with captain Scott Brown.

     

     

    A spokeswoman confirmed to the Tele that engines were called to the Malmaison in the early hours.

     

     

    She said: “We were called out to the Malmaison at 1.28am. Two appliances from Blackness Fire Station were dispatched.

     

     

    “It was a false alarm.”

  26. What a mixture.

     

    A black woman with her wee toddler son.

     

    The elderly couple.

     

    An old tramp who’s sleeping.

     

    A Dad with his wee son and daughter of which the son is in a wheelchair.

     

    A wee wummin I’m a green coat

     

    And a middle age guy who got on and grumpily said pass….! He’ll be the Hun.

    Once more its easy to be sceptical of Neganon 2, but many times he has a valid point.

     

     

    Contrast that to our clubs ( and fans ) prompt actions to the family of the innocent wee boy who was injured last Sunday.

     

     

    Action speaks louder than words, and although the culprit shamed society, our response has demonstrated the true meaning of ” a club like no other”
