    Jobo, VVD has been a good signing. He wants away and the board are happy to take the cash. It’s the fans that pay the gate money that are being lied to.

     

    0 spend on transfers. Wage bill will be down. 20 million in in transfers.

     

    No striker and 1 first team centre half. Short at left back, midfield shocking.

    Another die-hard fan pissed off.

     

     

    Aye,the strategy is working.

     

     

    Alienate yer customers. It’s the way forward,I tell ye!

  3. Captain Beefheart on

    VVD. Part of a defence ripped apart by a crap Milan side. If he wants to go, fine.

     

     

    The Serb. Look for someone else.

     

     

    Not happy with PL’s comments or the shambolic signing strategy.

    Any chance you can give it a rest fella. We hear you. You’re just repeating the same thing over and over.

     

     

    Game starts in 20. Support the bloody team you are supposed to support.

     

     

    *well said BW…too many alleged Celtic fans on here….yesterday was pathetic….there was wave after wave of them.

    I think most of us recognise that trading players is a central element of Celtic’s business model.

     

     

    We bring in around £50M per year from domestic football, but have a cost base in excess of £60M.

     

     

    Half the time Champions League income makes us highly profitable, in other seasons, we lose a ton. Selling players at a profit is a valid and important part of the business, and we are geared towards that.

     

     

    Essentially, any prospective player is sold on 3 things:

     

     

    Playing for Celtic – a bigger club with a better wage than the one they’re at

     

     

    Playing in European football – something they’ll get near enough every season

     

     

    Playing in the ‘Shop Window’ – do well and get a lucrative move

     

     

    Problem is, we’ve sold all the stock, and there’s very little left. Virgil’s going it seems, leaving who? Commons? 31 years old. Last year of his contract. Small beer.

     

     

    Nothing to sell, and in the meantime, nothing to look at.

     

     

    It’s not a great story is it.

     

     

    Given the business model, the very worst thing you can do is screw up recruitment. The window closes in 36 hours. Surely Celtic are working hard on bringing in a considerable number of talented players.

     

     

    Surely?

    The item on PL in today’s Herald makes interesting reading.

     

     

    In it, Peter falls marginally short of proclaiming that Celtic simply cannot live without THEM. He implies that over the piece, THEIR absence has cost Celtic around £3,000,000.

     

     

    Cynics like myself would retort that such a shortfall could have been made up if, in recent seasons Celtic had not failed so abjectly in domestic cup competitions at the hands of clubs with vastly inferior sources.

     

     

    The tone of the article should dispel any foolish notions that Celtic will be party to any train of events that will damage THEIR return next season.

     

     

    According to Peter the present less than satisfactory situation is down to managerial transition.

     

     

    Perhaps starting with the departure of Mjalby, Peter might like to tell us exactly what has brought about the present period of transition.

     

     

    Although it may be premature, it appears that in the case of Virgil, Peter is getting ready for the old ‘money in too late to spend’ trick.

  9. NegAnon2 on

    Big wavey. Fair dos. I am just incredulous at how far even Peter is pushing it…..

     

     

    Paddy. There is not enough profit margin in the curry sauce so you are onto plums……

    Thought to go through the game here but who wants to be berated by Neganon2’s childish, petulant non-sequiturs?

     

     

    We have Radio Scotland for that.

     

     

    Off to the pub to watch the Celts. COYBIG

    I have referred to it before and never received a definitive answer.

     

     

    Just how much is regular failure in domestic cups costing Celtic?

  20. Sandman on

    So the big Dutch ponce pets the lip because he failed to get his Celtic team past a very average Maribor outfit and demands free of this burden of playing for the greatest club he’ll ever get lauded at and already the habitual brainwashed negative mindsets have him ‘being sold by the plc.’

     

     

    Jesus. F him and the horse he rode in on. Enjoy the turgid thrills of lower EPL, Virgil.

    “Not many teams will score three against Chelsea this season”

    …..safe in the knowledge we will be watching one of the best run clubs in the whole wide world….

  26. Philbhoy on

    Anyone else think that Hartley will have his team set up to kick lumps out of us.

     

     

    The way he did when he played against us.

     

     

    Who is the mib please?

    Ernie

     

     

    It’s taken time, but many are now begining to see the reality.

     

     

    You will still get those who are in complete denial tho, strange thing is, they see themselfs as intelligent people.

     

     

    On the player recruitment thing, RD has now officially told them the score, I will wager you here and now many won’t believe him.

     

     

    Oh well.

  30. Ray Winstone's Big Disembodied Heid on

    Ronny has just said that Virgil will stay at Celtic. He’s not playing because his head is not right and he’s been affected and unsettled by all the speculation.

    Actually I was under the impression that Virgil and his agent had a contract.

     

     

    That being the case, Celtic have no need to sell him.

     

     

    They have however the option of giving him a kick up the erchie with a spell in reserve football.

  32. tommytwiststommyturns on

    Bobby – absolutely scunnered mate and had enough of PL’s spin.

     

    There’s no vision shown by the people in control of our club. Their attitude is that we’re stuck in Hicksville and we need some version of THEM to create any interest. Pathetic!

     

     

    For Ronny’s sake and the travelling fans, I hope this team can take the three points today.

  33. Frank Ryan's Whiskey on

    So we now have to sell a player who has years to run on his contract because he isn’t happy? Feck him, banish the malcontent to the under 21s see how he likes a couple of months of that. Play well get your ‘money’ move, because that is all it is, when we decided not when you want. The ink is still wet on your contract ffs.

  38. embramike on

    RD states on BT TV that VVD will not be sold tomorrow !

     

     

    Hope this doesn’t come back to bite him !

  42. Tom McLaughlin on

    Ronny Deila just said Virgil will not be going anywhere. He has dropped him because of all the speculation.

     

     

    Obviously the player is not up for it having been told he will not be sold.

     

     

    A lot of humble pie to be eaten on here.
