That whole ‘We don’t do walking away’ without a payoff business looks a little different this morning. Dave King has told the media Derek Llambias and Barry Leach are ‘demanding’ a payoff. It would be more likely that they have informed King of the terms of their contracts, which is all they are able to demand. Under the circumstances, it would be extraordinary if either ‘walked away’ from their contracts.
Contracts of employment are not optional. Terms have to be honoured, even if the employees’ services are no longer required, as I’m sure Mr Llambias’ solicitor will inform him when he discusses King’s threat to sue him for EGM costs. This easy-come, easy-go attitude to contracts is, well, shameless.
For what it’s worth, my money is on Llambias and Leach resigning in the hours before the EGM, once they have ensured business is sorted. This is the scenario King wanted, there’s no point complaining now it’s playing out.
World Autism Day
After their successful work with Downs Syndrome children, the homeless and many disadvantaged groups, next month the Celtic Foundation will embark on work with children with autism. A pilot project is currently being designed which will work to enhance each child’s wellbeing.
Autism is described in terms of a ‘spectrum’ as it includes people who live independently to those who require very specialised support on a daily basis. Recent decades have seen enormous improvements in understanding of the condition and on strategies to help, especially in children, which is where this pilot project comes in.
World Autism Day is 2 April and on that day the Foundation is holding its inaugural Golf Day (11 years behind the magnificent CQN Open) at Renfrew Golf Club. The event is supported by Ryder Cup winner Stephen Gallacher (who will not be playing) and a host of former Celtic players (who will be playing).
It’s a great initiative for the Foundation, reaching out into a new and important area, so if you’re a golfer and will enjoy a day on the course with friends and former players, go here to book.

New Balance = New kit sponsors.
Can’t believe it’s 21 years since the rebels won. Was on my knees in front of the tv when the news broke watching the scenes outside CP. A good Sunday league team-mate of mine was in that crowd getting covered in champers whilst revelling in tne rain.
March has sadly come to signify great family loss to him in recent times. But he’s one of the greatest Tims I knew. Ghod bless you, Paddy bhoy.
And thank you, the one and only Fergus McCann, a short fella with epic vision and shoulders of a giant upon which we now stand.
Roon ye, Minty – fivers and tenners you bankrupt prick.
“I don’t think Gary Hooper does closing down of opposing defenders and goalies”
Charlie mac,
He certainly didn’t do it much less than any of the current forward players did before ronny came.
I’d take hooper back in a heartbeat.
Nothing to do with me buying a hooper t-shirt and wearing it like…twice :)

What happens to the Nike ticks in the stands?
Re the striker debate…..
It is interesting that a lot of our talk now is beginning to focus on a striker that ‘fits the system’. And not just a good striker.
That system now clearly is massively focused on swift, persistent, fit, mobile, and I hope, knows where the goal is.
Based on current crop :-
Guidetti – falls short
Griffiths – has improved a few of these attributes
Stokes – Ronny’s decision not to use him through the middle means he thinks he falls short
Scepovic – I don’t know. But again Ronny doesn’t play him so again he falls short
So for next season? It looks like Griffiths + A N Other.
Ive seen Hooper mentioned. Interestingly he would fail on some of Ronny’s criteria. But, and it’s a big but…..imagine he was brought up to the level of fitness many of our squad enjoy now?? That would be a good option!

SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :)))))))
No it’s not on telly.
Nike is worth £5m a year to the club.What should we be looking for in this new deal?
I believe it’s been reported that Liverpool could make up to £50m a year with this company,depending on reaching sales targets etc.,At least it will show us where we are in the scheme of things?
IMO we should be looking at £20m minimum.

It will be less than £10m. We are probably doing well getting anything north of £7m.
Steinreignedsupreme
£7m was the figure banded about a few weeks ago.
Till later all

Try this might work.?
steinreignedsupreme
Sadly I think you may be right £10/15m would be my bet.

Nir Biton will be Happy with the New Kit..

Nike have the sales channels and brands that New Balance want, so they are more valuable to New Balance as a growth opportunity than to Nike as a mature proposition. But not so much as has been mooted.

Hooper will be up to speed soon,his manager at Norwich is a fitness fanatic.HH.
TD67 …. I do not like that strip at all … wrong number of hoops, and different size hoops on sleeve … hope that is not the real one.
Careful …. I used to date this lawyer from Caracas … absolutely stunning! If I wasn’t spoken for, I’d definitely be heading to Caracas for a holiday!!
Bit lost on this whole Sevco boardroom thing I think we need Paul to give us a idiot’s guide to boardroom politics at Sevco.
So we have Mike the cash who appears to own everything (if the next £5m tranche goes through) and the convicted tax dodger from SA most votes. As a convicted tax dodger (I know it was only 41 counts) and previous director cannot go on the board (unless they agree that this is a new company so no connection with out company). Mike has a clause that he can appoint 2 bods to the board but presumably King et al can appoint 2+ so out vote them?
All seems a bit complicated to me as I cannot see what Ashley gets out of this. (Apart from 75p in the £1 from retail sales). Lease back of properties but if they raise funds they just buy him out?
I knew I should have listened more in that maths class?

Frannyb,
Aberdeen and Ajax are being invited along to help remove them :)
Did anyone get the pic. Of the new kit, a simple yes or no will do fine ?

The Pointer’s last job seems to have been assisting McLeish at N Forest which lasted 41 days.
No trace of him working anywhere else, or if he ever joined McLeish in Belgium
