God love Packie Bonner, spend “£20m to £30m to bring those quality players the fans are desperate for”.
There are two opposing world views: one where people call for unaffordable money [those figures would be]to be spent because fans of a football club are “desperate”, the other where people want football clubs to spend what they can afford.
The latter group remember football’s crash-and-liquidate days – and learned the lessons. The former also remember the crash-and-liquidate days, but they are impervious to lessons.
We can debate what the size of an affordable spend is, but a couple of parameters have to be observed:
If it increases the cost base to such an extent that a reversal on the field would plunge the club into financial disarray, it’s unaffordable.
Players need to be appropriate for the environment – with neighbouring clubs earning £100m each season from TV deals, only players of a certain profile will play for a club with a considerably smaller wage bill (and turnover).
We live in a time when Scots Steven Naismith went for £8.5m (1 goal in 9 starts) and Ross McCormack went for £11m. These are common values for this calibre of player. We all want Celtic to improve, but that will not be achieved by spending unsuitable or unaffordable money. Packie, think back to Valentine’s Day 2012 and add a dose of perspective.
Get better at scouting, get fitter, improve the coaching – and spend everything you can afford, not any more. That’s the model for Celtic.

Couldn’t agree more about packie
Yet some would have you believe he is a soup taker / back of the bus, sold his soul to the msm and is doing his best to undermine celtic
TBJ, yellow card.
Comments on Nir Bitton’s ethnicity disappeared when his form improved last season. Now that his form is suffering we can’t have criticisms linked to his ethnicity. Not for him or anyone else.
Hail Hail Bhoys, Paul outwith a yella, Come on boys yer better than that.
No to Roy Keane from me as well as much i would love him with the sfa and msm he is not a motivator.

RAY WINSTONE’S BIG DISEMBODIED HEID
I know, – funny how they manage to stay away when Celtic are winning the League.
‘Ammers fans being naughty on the occasion of the Club’s farewell to the Boleyn ground?
Off with their heads!
Shocking stuff from the West Ham supporters, totally hunnish.
Bonnar may well loveCeltic but he knows that if he wants to further his media career he has to do us down at every opportunity. And he obliges every time.
There have been some poor days on CQN but this most rank among the worst.
Beeb website carries the CG interview about Keane, but “accidentally” misses out the part where he says he wasn’t going to highlight any one particular person…..
Sure it’s not Chelsea fans?
Think the breakthrough is coming for Hibs…
Good play from Henderson there, Sutton giving Stokes the credit.
Thanks Jobo……I`ll now get my money on 0-0 ! 0:-)
Thanks for the Hibs updates, My bbc site link crashed.

Packy Bonner’s aftermatch interview on BBC radio was embarrassing, he infuriated Celtic supporters on the way home from winning the league with a diatribe of pre prepared anti Celtic nonsense spoon fed by BBC, about how poor Celtic really were, and how they needed to spend millions to win a league, they had just won.
Nobody that supports Celtic was doing a Bonner on Sunday, and certainly no match goers.
He’s been grovelling up at the BBC for a permanent slot and although he’s clearly not bright and has not even a schoolboy concept of accounts or financing Celtic in 2016, he’s finally worked out that if he stuck to a script, the BBC would might him back.
He’s not even quoted on the internet other than CQN so he has much work to do.
Using Sky against my better judgement.
Jags 2-0 now.

I heard packie on the tranny after the match … imho he was bullied by Willie miller and Co. Pat ain’t a strong character and they beat him into submission
Wee fud WH owner said there was no damage to MU bus
Lets not fight over our Paddy, he is a man making money and is a sheep in wolves clothing. He loves us but has to toe the party line or he won’t get work. Our Tosh told them how it was and he walked. Shame. If our club had a better PR and news department, we wouldn’t need to listen to anyone else. We seem to want to be a progressive club but don’t do much about taking ourselves forward in the world of multi media.

Shove your yellow card up your arse
BSR-heard him,a disgrace
To Be fair I like Willie Miller as well. I think he is very fair in his comments. Paddy like Murdo are nice men surrounded by more out spoken men and thats why they get the gigs in the first place. if we had a mouth piece like bfdj he would never get near one of those gigs. See BBJ.

So if Bonner is so knowledgable about football why does he talk such crap ?
As Hibs Hibs it, here’s hoping Celtic fan Wayne Rooney slaps around those Hunnish cockerney wankers.
