European football news this week featured Vincent Kompany “failing up”. After overseeing Burnley’s relegation from the topflight of English football, the affable Belgian was appointed manager of Bayern Munich. Charm gets you places, people!
Hot on the heels of that, the Newco chief executive James Bisgrove handed in his resignation, he’s off to work his magic in Saudi. If Bisgrove ever gives a seminar on job interview technique, sign up. This is the guy who, as commercial director, booked Newco at the Sydney tournament in 2022 for less than half the fee Celtic’s commercial director, Adrian Filby, negotiated.
Newco are both delighted at Bisgrove’s work in his various roles at the club, and totally OK that he’s moving on. Suggestions that churning through three managers and three chief execs in 18 months is a sign of a club in perpetual crisis is unworthy of you.

Next it will be the disabled c/w carers and concessions.
The club has to maximise income you know. Optimise available revenue streams.

Hi Bhoy’s ,
I’m arguing with a hun that we are still the same company with the same company registration number since incorporation .
He sends me this .
Answers on a postcard please:
He’s an idiot is the answer. We changed from a privately owned business to a publicly owned one in 1994 with the original share offering. The business was uninterrupted, but the change from privately-owned limited company to publicly owned limited company (PLC) necessitated a reregistering of the business.
The change in status of the business meant, by law, we had to rename and reregister the company.
Tell him he doesnt know what he’s talking about, he shouldnt be arguing with you about it if he doesn’t understand the basics of company law.
still deid
Drunks singing follow follow after Bob macintyre teed off in the Canadian open. Honestly pathetic

aye 1,800 of them every game.
Most of them are due to segregation.
You’ve been told this many times but you just don’t want to hear it.
Also, it says it all when you tell Celtic ST holders that the day is coming when Celtic will confiscate their cards if they don’t use it, all based on what happens at Manchester United of all places.
It’s never gonna happen.
Some reports we have made enquiries about an Israeli goalkeeper.
H,mmm,I would not be putting money on it.
Watching the women’s US Open golf.. Amazing the things that spring to mind.
With the tendency to shorten names such as Jimmy to Jim, Bobby to Bob or Bertie to Bert, I got to wondering what Minjee Lee might have been called had she attended school in Glasgow.

Before Fergus was allowed to sell shares to the public (supporters) he was legally required to change the company from a limited company — LTD — to a public limited company — PLC — registered with the Stock Exchange.
There was no Administration or Liquidation.
Ask you friend why, if he believes Celtic were forced to become a new company, didn’t Rangers and other clubs raise a stink and demand that they apply to start again, or did they just forget?

Just send him the Leigh Griffiths “yer club’s deid mate” clip.
That should shut him up.

Respectfully TT … the nub of the problem.
Don’t know where to start on this:
“The Scottish FA have asked clubs to give the thumbs up to DOUBLING the salaries of key board members.”
Chop off the thumbs…
How much does does Ian “C-A-T .. dog” Maxwell earn?

its not just a football thing though.
the country is getting plundered by fat cats, oligarchs and war-mongerers who are shovelling more and more of our cash into their own troughs while we get the pish taken out of us and get nothing back

In a nutshell mhate, well put!
Feck ralottathum and give them feck all as salary increases. For the feck what? Hunnitis?
And I hope to feck and back again that our Club is busy behind the scenes working on REAL changes to the operation of VAR for next season, especially if we are still paying the lions share for it. The fact that potential world-wide observation helped ensure that VAR worked, to AN EXTENT, during the Cup Final did not mean that it did/will work as it should.

Watching a recording of the athletics from earlier, Stockholm Grand Prix.
Henrik Larsson just ran the 100m.
He didn’t win, but the guy running next to him – wearing a Celtic top – did.
Just switched over to the Canadian Open to see our very own Bob MacIntyre hit two consecutive birdies and go 16 under, three shots clear after playing the 8th. He also has the advantage of playing last so knows how everybody else finishes. Then again the weather not getting any better. Bob is from Scotland mind. Getting a bit annoyed with the use of drones, but does have the added advantage of having his Dad as his caddie. Saves a few quid there.
In the Irish Club quick question MacIntyre is he a tim.
timhorton
I’m pretty sure he is, a Shinty player from Oban, a MacIntyre, good chance there. Thought I read earlier in his career that Celtic were his team, which might explain some locals singing Follah Follah as he teed off.
He plays shinty for Oban Celtic.
Old CQN standard
Welcome Bob McIntyre. Are you a hun?

*wearin the same golf shirt as yesterday tae
4/1 chance the self appointed ‘special one’ Jose himself could be comping to Ibrox in early August.
The manager who is now with the club of his dreams, in the form of last years Turkish runners up Fenerbache, could he 3rd qualifier opppsiton for the Govan ‘Summer Cup’ champions elect in Scotland.

I hope his mammy washed it before he wore it again today.

Tom,
what does this mean ?
Also, it says it all when you tell Celtic ST holders that the day is coming when Celtic will confiscate their cards if they don’t use it, all based on what happens at Manchester United of all places.
———————
i have used examples of arsenal, spurs, west hame, hearts, rangers, as well as man united.
even further down the english leagues there are ticket exchange examples.
so what does it say ?

Anyone wanting a fuller, pernickety explanation of “Pacific Shelf 595 Ltd”, read on.
Our club – the present-day Celtic plc – has existed since 1888, and was incorporated as a company in 1897, under the name “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited”. It changed its name to “Celtic plc” in 1994, when it became a public limited company, in “one of the most successful stock market flotations in British financial history”.
Pacific Shelf 595 Ltd, is a sister company formed two months before the plc was floated on the stock market. Its purpose was, I believe, to carry on the name “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited”, to simplify potential business transactions after the actual name of the club changed to “Celtic plc”.
So when the original “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited” changed its name to “Celtic plc”… the newly-formed Pacific Shelf 595 Ltd changed its name to “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited”, so transactions could still be carried out using that name.
This sister company is still in existence as a distinct entity today, and is still called “The Celtic Football and Athletic Company Limited”. It has, I believe, used the name “Celtic Football Club” as a trading name, but it is a very small company – with total capital of £2 – two quid – and exists only for convenience.
The huns shtick consists in saying that Pacific Shelf became TCFAACL, and TCFAACL became Celtic plc, so that means Celtic plc was originally incorporated in 1994. I trust that the transparent flaw in their ruse is now clear…
———-
As St.Stivs said earlier,Celtic,incorporated in 1897,went in 1994 from a private ltd football club to a public ltd company plc
As Ceitic40me shows hun thinking ignores company law,imo specific to the facet of incorporation
Celtic today have the same SCO number today as the day it was incorporated in 1897.it is continious and uninterrupted.
That cant be said of your friends team(s),a new club was formed post liquidation in 2012 and ‘accepted into’ scottish league football.(what was it outside of) a totally different SCO number to the team started in 1872 as it was birthed in 2012.
Huns eh,whit they like,2012- it happened! Let their generations to come explain why the ball was on the hedge at BrechinCity.

Any chance of a answering my overnight query ??
Maybe giving insight into who Celtic will play,tis CQN after all
You have a bad dose of olfrim-itis
Whit urr thi huns daen? Who they playin? Who are they potentially playin.
Turn your vast knowledge to Celtic,we know its in there.
Do you think Daniel Kelly will stay?
Rocco Vata?
Who would you see as an experienced ol hand to mentor and improve our team?
We both know they already have the future Real Madrid players title to go with the summer speculation cup which they rout every year
