FFP, Uefa moving and competing against death wish clubs

323
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    64 years ago today Billy McNeill made his first of 790 appearances for Celtic.

     

     

    The rest is history.

    ‘If ever a man was made for a specific club, it was Billy McNeill and Glasgow Celtic…. His heart was always at Parkhead.’

    Apparently two big clubs ready to bid for Morelos after being dropped from squad. Willing to offer a lot of pounds for his services……

     

     

    Two clubs revealed as Weight Watchers and Slimming World

    Timbhoy, Moussa Dembele comes for 6.2 Million goes for 22 Million, you win some and you lose some.

     

    You can’t win them all.

    On Jullien, the French side agreed to cover the last year’s wages of his contract, any transfer fee received by Celtic would have had to have Jullien’s contract deducted from it in full before he left, Celtic has taken a substantial wage away however, we have taken a huge hit on the 7million we paid for him, c’est la vie

    £7Million defender leaves for £850,000 easy come easy go especially at Celtic

     

     

    Would be about right

     

     

    7m subject to depreciation over course of contract

     

    So take your 0.85m and what Bada posted wages,£1m

     

    That’s 1.85m

     

    Which if you take cost of initial package 7m

     

    Fits as 1.85m would be value to Celtic

     

     

    Not so much easy come,easy go as the players choice which is the core of most modrin contracts.

     

    Celtic didn’t loose out.

    This is not a CELTIC issue – its more important than CELTIC.

     

    CELTIC supporters have been put in danger by this chicanery.

     

    It may be too late, I hope not, but who am I?

     

    Given the wall to wall lies that CELTIC supporters and everyone else has been forced to endure, lots of supporters might’ve been misled to a dangerous degree?

     

    Dig for alternative news ffs!

     

    This good guy public servent, Doctor, has been banned yesterday, by Twitter, because a tech platform arrogantly assumes that its `more` medically informed, than a Doctor?!

     

    Just like 100% of MSM on which very worrying amounts of CELTIC supporters hang their hats.

     

    This good guy`s tongue was removed yesterday, not because she`s a liar, but because powerful liars fear her truth.

     

    These powerful liars are living rent free inside lots of CELTIC supporters heads.

     

    Is this Doctor a bad guy because she refuses to lie to the public?

     

    Is KEVJUNGLE a bad guy for wakening up folk like me?

     

    Am I a bad guy for flagging up an issue which might visit great harm or worse onto CELTIC supporters?

     

    Is everybody ok to just suck up what MSM liars tell them, then join in with the witch-hunt of good folk like this ethics driven Doctor?

     

    Is it not about time that so called good football clubs threw a spanner in the works about these dangers to their customers, and countless players who sadly didn’tmake it through this veil of lies, another bs lockdown might just be around the corner, with the odious Shillary Krankie pretending to care for you all with an hour of bs every day on BBC, only to end up with the worst illness rate in the world, that may suit her not so well hidden handlers, but it does you nothing but bad innings, an obvious actor as she wipes her feet on anything CELTIC, stand the fk up, or is shareholder dividends all that matters?

     

    Use the loaf, wise up, take off the colours and join with other clubs fans, coz you might not like this, BUT, the only way out of this is to become like packs of wolves, ala the huns in Manchester 2008, 12 to 1, if you understand, ugly I know, BUT, what’s the alternative?

     

    Be a good bhoy or ghirl and wait till the establishment tries to starve you and your family, take away your job, your home, and then what, sit waiting for a van with a Swat team arrives to take you to your new home?

     

    Soon there’ll be no water, food, heating, won’t CELTIC supporters also be affected by this?

     

    Or does none of this matter a damn, so long as you have a ticket for the fitba?

     

    What about when every team in Scotland, CELTIC apart, can’t provide lighting for their stadiums?

     

    What is the alternative to the despicable, 12 to 1, that I’ve mentioned above?

     

    Is there a nice, clean, tippy tappy, or even, CELTIC way, to fight the officers of the swamp?

     

     

    Do we live in a society were folks say…..

     

     

    “I’m alright Jack, CGAF about anybody else though.”

     

    or,…

     

    “I put a loaf and a couple of tins of soup into foodbank collection, so I’ve done my bit.”

     

    God knows I’m a good yin.

     

     

    Is this what we’ve become were we smear a person who is trying to point out the dangers of something that innocent others, including untold amounts of CELTIC fans among them, with closed minds through choice, or fear, might not be aware of?

     

    Is it now too late to reach those minds?

     

    Would it be wrong to stop trying to reach those who say…

     

    “Keep The Faith”….

     

    Why aren’t those `faith` officers breaking ranks and disputing the narrative thats being spun by proven corrupt, corporate, liars, MSM, Politicians, Royal family who should be put in the dock, the Vatican as well, meekly, complicitly, sleekitly, woefully going along with these proven, warmongering deceivers, who will they preach their faith to in 5 years time – robots?

     

    Where’s the Queen after her well publicised `guilt tripping` of the public with her….

     

     

    ” Its only the selfish folk who don’t comply(or bow, or kneel) for science, etc.”

     

     

    Yet thousands of folk, maybe CELTIC fans among them, are being seriously injured, or worse, for complying with dangerous, serial liars!!

     

    If you speak out – you get witch-hunted.

     

    Who will speak for them – apart from one1 hour per day on GBNews at 8:00pm Mon to Fri, on MARK STEYN show.

     

    THAT`S IT!!

     

    Out of the entire MSM, one1 hour per day for a voice to help innocent folk who might’ve been guilt tripped by the Queen, or the Pope, to `not be selfish` and fall into line??

     

    GBNews is now the same, if not worse than the rest of the MSM, after initially going out of its way to be seen to be different, from the rest of a pathetic, woke, identity politics driven narrative, same faces, saying the same things, every day, on every channel, ITV Regional news stations were given strict instructions, deviate from the `official` narrative and your funding will be decimated!

     

    So, 2.5 years ago STV News were told specifically that no matter what `negative events` occur, you must stick to the narrative, in other words if you must lie then so be it.

    So with 2 to be banned for Ross Co and 1 likely to get away with a red card at Rangers we have a 3 player swing in terms of who will play at Ibrox on Sunday.

     

     

    Ross co with a lean squad hit hard and the Huns with a bloated squad will only have the fat boy missing.

    Many on CQN took a lot of stick for stating Christopher Jullien would not figure for Celtic.

     

     

    They were of course proved correct.
