Celtic’s revenue bounced back from the year without fans in the six months to 31 December 2021. Income was up almost 30% to £52.9m, only £8m below the full year earnings to 30 June 2021. The club reported a £7m trading profit before intangibles in the interims, released this evening. But wait for it……… Add in the profit from player sales of £25.9m and you get a pre-tax profit £27.6m (intangibles, like amortisation are deducted before the pre-tax position)!
Player acquisitions during the period totalled £16.8m, which will push our running annual amortisation charge up a tad from it’s trend of £13m.
Cash in the bank on 30 June was £25.6m, which goes some way to explaining the splurge of signings we have enjoyed in the intervening period.
Manage your assets
The first take away for me is the contrast between our £25.8m earned in player sales to the £1.0m earned in the corresponding period a year earlier. We kept Edouard, Ajer and Co. in order to chase another milestone. Player trading is where it’s at. Sure, it is risky, do not expect the kind of value and performance we have seen in the last two windows forever, but we trade or we fail. I remember the good old days on here, when managing your assets was a controversial aim.
Win the league
The second observation is that this was a season with Europa League football. Imagine, for a second, we got to the Champions League next season. The possibilities are really quite interesting!

Anyway 1-1 HT.Huns girls playing better
Callum Davidson from St J deserves a shot at a bigger club.

Would Paul Hartley, currently at Cove not be a shout from for the sheep ?
Done well at Alloa, and getting decent reviews at Cove
And Davidson is probably going to be looking for new work sooner rather than later.
3-1 Hibs. Game’s a bogey.
a random for today,
which english football club once played in green and white hoops ?
AND WHICH TWO SCOTTISH CLUBS DONNED THE HOOPS BEFORE CELTIC DID ?
Delighted that dick, Campbell has bin dumped out courtesy of wee Shaun’s mob.
Yon be-capped bunnet epitomises many of the worst traits o’ scoddish fitba.
Aberdeen made a big mistake in giving Glass the job in the first place . He had done nothing of note.
Calum Davidson deserves a chance at a bigger club

What’s so bad about Dick Campbell?
KENNY MILLER CHANNELLING HIS INNER UGLIEST SHELBY BROTHER LOOK
Newcastle v Villa that awkward moment when you want both teams to lose
Grand Blog this morning, loved the Joe Ledley interview, looking forward with interest to Team Selection.
I expect,
Bain, Ralston, CCV Welsh, Scales, CalMac Riley, McCarthy, Jota, Gio & Abada.
Another ref can’t measure 10 yds
Justice done through the wall 1-0 Newcastle
Could be
Bain, Ralston, CCV Welsh, Scales, CalMac Riley, Bitton, Maeda, Gio & Abada.
Good luck the Hoops today

Tom.
He’s a Dick.
And, that’s a fact……………………

Celtic Ladies leading 2:1 with 5 minutes to go.
The Ibrox ladies had most chances and our winner was probably a foul on their keeper.
So – lots to celebrate there😀
All of the teams wearing hoops are in minor leagues – the first one, Alsager Celtic are about 10 miles from me – where the main team is Alsager Town
The parting Glass.
Glass for the Sheep was only ever window dressing.
Hrvatski – “Winner”
Kwality!
:))))))))))))))))
Come on Celts
Special
HH
Well done the Women……and the ballgirls!!
Celtic Ladies knock the league leaders, Sevco Ladies, out of the Scottish Cup.
The Irish girl Hayes is a warrior at the back and Jacynta provides all the flair.
We beat them without our main goal scorer Wellings, who is injured
Well done our Ghirls. Anytime any Celtic Team beats the Huns is a cause for celebration,
Hart, Ralston, CCV, Welsh, Scales, Bitton, Hatate, Rogic, Forrest, Johnston, Gia.
HH!
CJ on the bench again.
AZ Alkmaar continue to improve. Now into 4th in Eredivisie.
Trippier with second direct free kick goal in a few days. Have we had 2 this season?
BANKIEBHOY1
That really made me laugh.
Cheers.
Julien and Mccarthy on the bench.
These 2 badly need minutes and would be an asset to the team going forward
2-1 to the Girls.FT.
Hart, Scales, Welsh, Carter-Vickers, Ralston, Bitton, Forrest, Hatate, Rogic, Johnston, Giakoumakis.
Subs: Barkas, Bain, Jullien, Taylor, Abada, McCarthy, Jota, Ideguchi, Maeda, McGregor, Doak.
In Ange We Trust
Right back Cristian Gamboa scored for Bochum in their 4-2 win over Bayern Munich yesterday.
