Gang of 10 plan creates 41 winners and only one loser

Q. There will be 12 teams in the SPL next season.  How many do you think stand to gain from the redistribution of income proposed by the Gang of 10?

A. 11.

Q. There will be 30 teams in the SFL next season.  How many do you think stand to gain from the redistribution of income proposed by the Gang of 10?

A. 30.

Although TV and commercial money will be diluted, it is a sideshow compared to the real cash cow remaining in Scottish football, the gate money at Celtic Park.  The Gang of 10 refused to exclude this option from their proposed change in voting rights.

A 20% share of gate money doesn’t have sufficient support from SPL clubs, too many losers.  A 30% gate share only has one loser, everyone else wins, including the club who took 87 fans to a league game at Celtic Park last season.

This is nothing to do with Sevco, who are unlikely to pull a financially viable plan together (although the SPL and SFA are still trying).  You’re being asked to open your wallets and pay for the upkeep of 42 stadiums, squads, boards of directors and kit men.

This is not a viable plan.  It’s time for Scottish football to admit defeat.  Sport has been subverted for over a decade to the point there is nothing left.  We can keep Hampden and the national team going, but there is no viable league structure.  The sooner we accept this and move on the better.

    The Italy Germany game is great but I can’t concentrate on it in light of today’s statement from RCO and the cardihun. Can only be from them via that horrible wee used car sales man from the SPL. Thanks to JF for taking the time to strip it bare to expose the the lies and spin everyone is meant to believe. What an insult. It will never fly. Not in a million years. No to newco.HH.

    expect he will be sleeping the mother of all hangovers off,

     

    then as the flash backs start and he begins to think it was a dream he asks his wife

     

    where was a last night ?

     

    awwww yer f*******n joking wummin i said whit AWWWWW nawww if anybody phones am no in .

  4. Evening Celts, I can only see this as a last ditch effort to save a crumbling empire (goat inspired).

     

    They are too far gone to save and Celtic FC would lose a vast part of their fanbase if they agreed to this bare faced robbery of our clubs legitimate earnings.

     

    I’d be offski if it happened, but I believe it’s jackanory stuff.

     

     

    Earlier question about apple box, I have one.

    Hail Hail

  6. There is no fair reason for CFC fans to financially support other teams

     

     

    We are being asked to compensate the rest of Scottish football because Johnson,Romanov,Boyle , Thomson et al can’t run their clubs on budget

     

     

    The notion that some of the CP gate money should go to visitors who put ten men behind the ball and frustrate any attempt st entertaining football is thoroughly risible

     

     

    I will have no part of that nonsense , I’d rather play a season of friendlies

    In a proaganda war it’s important that now and again tell you the truth. Lord Haw-Haw used to say things like; the post was late today in Bath or the clock in Hexham is five minutes slow. The only people who knew he was lying were the people of Bath or Hexham. CW’s Pr people have been pumping crap to to the BBC & STV regularly, sometimes it finds it’s way to the DR or the Herald. The only people who know that it’s p1sh are CW’s media people.

     

    If you challenge lies, paradoxically, you give them credibility.

    @alextomo I’m sure it will take time for you to digest today’s SFA proposals. Would be I interesting to hear your view?

    @pagcelt yes. Digesting. This is extraordinary. Will sicken Rangers/non-Rangers fans alike. Needs time. Calls to make. Blog etc tomorrow.

    Time to put them on camera again Alex and ask Regan about his “without fear or favour” comment

  9. With the impending demotion of der hun to Divisie Trois, the gathering of the attic children from yesterday and various other delinquent misfits, will have to get used to a long falliw spell of covenanting levels of asceticism- there is no question they will smash up their toys in their usual triumphalistic tandrum.

     

    Yesterday evenings Night of the Bams led by the maestro of the mentalists was an orchestra of hate…and they see him as some sort of desperate dividend because led the ditch choir of gutter dogs with his howling at the moon…no doubt he will be nursing his pummelled kidneys now that he is has been anointed by buckfast…he is after all an epicure of the wine alley house special…but before know it there will be obese pimpled faced bib wearers wailing before the weeping wall of an empty Ibrox…a whole tribe of drowning men, outcasts, lumpin louts of the rejected rabble loitering aimlessly around Edminston like ghosts in limbo…grieving and tyrannized by the irreversible pitilissness of what cannot be undone.

    Is the gate share £, proposal actually legal???

     

     

    Imagine for example there are 12 shops in glasgows Buchanan galleries shopping centre….

     

     

    The major player is the “John Lewis dept store” – imagine they get 50,000 customers through the door every week.

     

     

    The small retail outlet is the “candle shop” imagine the only get 84!

     

     

    Ask yourself this question…. Do you think it would be fair to “share their £”?

     

     

    Of course it is not!!!!

     

     

    We Celtic supporters must not get bullied into sharing OUR money!!!

    a woman goes to the doctor

     

    ‘doctor, it’s ma man, he thinks he’s a chicken!’

    ah wid doctor, but we need the eggs!’

    2 reasons Celtic will not be stiffed by these stupid proposals

     

     

    1) Fans of all clubs will walk unless Huns play div 3 (or below)

     

    2) Celtic Board will threaten resignation

  13. Pirlo one of the oldest players in the tournament

     

     

    Still one of the, if not the , best

    It is the old shop steward in me, make sure you bring something to the table. If we do not like what is being proposed, and Paul seems to think that there are proposals in their somewhere, at least have an alternative vision for Scottish football. The Scottish footballing public,ended any possibility of NewCo kicking off in the SPL, not the boards, but rest assured it will be the boards (absent Celtic) who are behind the latest kite flying. Nobody has voted on anything yet, all the more reason to be prepared if and when they do. Something positive might help, but that is only my opinion.

  15. Newco have new transport for next season.

     

     

    It’s a 7 seater we are the peepil carrier!!

    I haven’t the time to read back today, trying to get finished by lunch time so I can meet a couple of mates, but I just wanted you to know, that no matter the subject of your differences with Macjay, I have known him since primary school. His Celtic credentials are better than mine if that is any measure of an endorsement. His heart is good too; I know that, I know the man.

     

     

    He mans up to you and does not shrink, he has the strength of his convictions and he communicates them transparently, honestly and respectfully without a hint of a hidden agenda. That may not command accord but it is worthy of respect. He may not share your perspective, his politics may not be in tandem with yours, but amigo, does it really matter?

     

     

    He is welcome in my house anytime, as are you.

    This will only end in the courts, not an expert on competition law. But pretty sure under EU law, no company can support another without owning part of it.

    ago,

  22. Hope Lenny is watching this and has identified a few of the Italian players to sign for next season.

     

    About as much chance of that as a Newco being in Div 1 and Celtic giving 30% of our money away.
