The Times today report that Uefa will shortly announce Financial Fair Play (FFP) sanctions against Paris St-Germain, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Roma and Juventus. Newco’s remarkable Europa League run, and subsequent player sales, will provide a stay of execution. They could even announce the first operational profit in their history when accounts are published.
With football on the ropes for two years, Uefa loosened FFP regulations and announced the system would be reviewed. Going forward, clubs will be limited in what proportion of turnover they can spend on football operations, which is a decent proxy for a sustainable business model.
Taking on PSG, Barcelona, Inter, Roma and Juventus would be a huge stake in the ground for Uefa and a win for fans of well-run clubs, who want to see the end of debt-fuelled speculative gambling in the game. Celtic fans know more than most what it is like competing with a death wish club, intent on driving off the cliff edge, if it wins football games. For us, it was divisive, as some wanted Celtic to compete in the spending stakes; it also cost us trophies and access to European competition.
Newco show no signs of having learned lessons from the demise of Oldco Rangers. Although Celtic were a shambles in season 2020-21, it took cumulative losses approaching £100m to stop our title run. Strong financial regulation is on the side of the good guys.
I expect we will touch on this again before the week is out.

Morelos has been left out of the huns squad for their game against PSV tomorrow.
Apparently…Van Bronckhurst is questioning his ” Attitude and Fitness”. Alos ” apparently…Van Bronckhurst CONSULTED other Senior Hun players before leaving out the Fatboy, Nutter Morelos ?
HH
ALSO…NOT Alos ?
Uefa will shortly announce Financial Fair Play (FFP) sanctions
Like being slapped in the face with a kipper 🐟
IF …the Hun Manager DID CONSULT other Senior players before omitting Morelos from the Squad….Morelos WILL surely be thinking that his so called ” Team Mates” are ALSO against HIM ?
if so, its FUNNY !
HH
In my playing days…The ART of ” Over Head Kicks”….went right over my head…quite frankly ?

Jullien has apparently come through his medical at Montpellier.
That’s me telt.
APOLS!! PRESTONPANS BHOYS.
Maybe Morelos is away having a medical at a major European team ahead of a €30m transfer.
That would explain his absence.
Bon Voyage to Jullien and HH.

On the contrary.
They have learned that they can liquidate and continue unscathed.
And that Celtic will do and say nothing about it.
So what’s the problem?

Dating from about 1360, Clackmannan Tower has probably always been a ‘showy’ building. It was built by a descendant of Robert the Bruce and remained in possession of the Bruces until the 1700s.

RANGERS are suing an American businesswoman over claims she tried to flog the club behind their back, we can reveal.
Kyle Fox, 49 alleged her firm was buying the Light Blues and used their official crest and logos in a bid to lure investors.
Rangers have commenced legal action in the United States following claims that a businesswoman attempted to sell the club and entice investors without authority or ownership to do so.
The update brings meaning to a previous statement released by the parent company of the club last week, which stated:
“RIFC (Rangers International Football Club) has raised injunction proceedings in the US to prevent a US entity and its principal falsely claiming it has been authorised by Rangers to sell shares in RIFC and using Rangers IP for that purpose.”
Perhaps she is selling the Original Rangers ?

I thought it highlighted the impotence of your party during Brexit.neutered and silent on their theoretical basis for exiting the common market/now eec.
I am correct about Denis,keynesianism and monetarism..introduced by your party.
That’s a fact at the Treasury dept,but your denial is point and laugh stuff of comical Ali proportions

I reckon this story was broken from across the Atlantic, contrary to TRFC’s wishes. As usual, whenever they slip up, their first action is to head for the Courts.
Ms. Fox refused to comment on her failed bid to sell the Brooklyn Bridge.

Kris Boyd saying what we all know – Absolutely no bids have been received for Morelos.
Full-time head of refereeing Crawford Allen out golfing on match days and its willie collum who should retire, laughable risible nonsense
With friends and ex colleagues the message is clear, dont mess with Sevco the fall out is horrific
WILLIE COLLUM’s boss has been slammed for getting in a round of golf instead of watching his senior whistler take charge of Hibs vs Rangers at the weekend.
While Collum himself has been described as being in the “latter stages” of his career.
Those were the views aired by a panel of former Scottish whistlers.
Steven Conroy and Des Roache were discussing the fall-out from Collum’s decision-making at the weekend during the fiery clash at Easter Road on the Get Involved Referee Podcast.
Ex-ref Conroy said: “I don’t know what kind of contract Crawford has negotiated for himself but he is the head of refereeing, there were some bloody big games coming up that he knew would throw up incidents and he should have been on duty on a day like that.”
Fellow panellist Roache said: “If your job is head of referee operations, then the season is up and running, it’s operational. You know the fixtures, it’s Hibs v Rangers and Crawford’s from Edinburgh, you’ve got to be at the game.
“At the very least he’s going to be at one of the games. You have to be visual. You have got be out and about because you are the one who is answerable.”
In terms of Collum’s performance, Conroy said it was a “really bad day” at the office for him and wondered if the whistler needs rest.
He said: “I think that’s as bad a performance as I have seen from Willie. He has been prone to erratic performances but that was just bad.
“For our most senior, most decorated referee to come out with something like that – it was a really bad day.
“That was his third Premiership game and there have been talking points in all three of them so far. Does he maybe need rest?”
While Roache added: “I’m not calling for Willie to retire but like any player there is an end to the their shelf-life.
“There are more errors cropping up and we’ve just seen a few major ones in a massive game so early in the season. So I think he’s coming to the latter part of his career.
“But I think the SFA will stick with him and support him.”
Willie wont be refereeing the Ragers for a long time
