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!

Inter score to equalise after a poor 1st half performance. Napoli ain’t an Ange team to Win games 1st half.

First foul on Ramsay will be a booking
will be sine die
If you could have 1, still playing, ex Celt (van Dyke and Tierney excepted) in the Ange team…who would it be and why?
Mine would be….Laxalt…. Not the best defender but by fook he could run like a hare
Laxalt was awful
Dembele for me. Would be awsome in this team.

Laxalt was the first “inverted” full back I witnessed. Way before Anges time. He was all over the pitch…intentional or not.😃

Man U begs to differ :O)
Anyway, looking forward to seeing the Bhoys the morra. Crap time for all those travelling from afar. I’m just a few miles away frae the Holy Ground of Celtic Park at the mo.
Driving to Portsmouth is not wan I’d advise in the Alan Minter.
how does Rocco Vata qualift to play for Ireland ?

A brilliant week for Colin O’Brien’s team out Spain ☘️

As soon as a wing back stops…then recycles the ball…it allows the opposing team to regroup. If a pass is not on for said wing back, option b should always be to drive to the bye line. Does my box in when they see the only option is to recycle back to the centre half’s…
Pukki not scoring anytime has just pumped another bet…..erse

To be fair, I wouldn’t have wanted to play golf with the Rev. Jimmy Currie either.
Another bitter wee bluenose if my memory serves.
