Is it any wonder Celtic fans worry about contagion?

639

Not only are Newco left without an auditor, a Nomad and therefore a market listing, outgoing auditors Deloitte, wrote to the club last month to explain they were resigning due to threatening and intimidating messages received by their staff from anonymous persons during 2013 and 2014 in relation to their work with the club.

The toxicity of that football club is difficult to overstate.  Is it any wonder Celtic fans are clear: the ‘Old Firm’ died in 2012?  Any attempts to rekindle it will result in contagion for our own club, who maybe smaller going forward without the ‘Old Firm’ dividend, but it will be healthier nonetheless.

I’ll take 40,000 crowds and winning the next 30 titles in a canter, bring it on.

    None of us can predict the future. But I doubt very much that the euro will go.

     

    Since its launch the prophets of doom have been proclaiming that the end is nigh.

     

    I certainly can’t see the irish leaving the euro . we love it

    Just back from Galway. Plenty of Celtic shirts to be seen.

     

     

    Took the signed jersey from the AISC dinner to Clogher junior. He was delighted, thanks Almore.

     

     

    Anyway,

    Correct In all you say. However the other nations you mention will probably need 2/3 years at least to come to an informed view about the effect on Greece of their exit should it happen and in that period they will be woo’ed in to staying if it looks likely they’d bail.

    I would agree with your last comment (22.59)

     

    The euro is a major political project whose origins can be traced back to the rubble of mainland Europe at the end of WW2. nothing is too big to fail of course ( ask any hun you know) but I think it will survive

  8. Slan_Abhaile on

    I think the Greeks just won the Battle of Marathon again.

     

     

    Cue the back peddling.

  9. Got to remember conditions of previous “bailouts” was to denationalise which was the banksters robbing the population and trying to ensure the means of production were forever out of the hands of the population for what they hoped ever.

     

    Withdrawal from the euro and reintroduction of the drachma will allow this leftist govt to renationalise quite cheaply, that was part of the biggest fear of the banksters and why they will make a deal.

    But not the previous ones..? :-)

    Clashcitybhoy 22:53 and others

     

     

    I might be talking as a gambler but I think your last paragraph at 22:53 hits the nail on the head

     

     

    I think the Eurocrats are terrified that the Greek situation could lead to the whole Euro project collapsing with the key word being contagion.

     

     

    If the Greeks are allowed to go, then the likelihood is the Iberians and Italians will want to follow.

     

     

    For that reason some kind of debt restructuring will be cobbled together to allow Greece to remain with some trophy Greek resignation (finance minister guy?) for the troika to save face.

     

     

    A dreadful choice for a proud nation to have faced. Fair play to them for telling Europe where to go, despite the knowledge they’ll pay for it no matter what.

    I didn’t mean it like that.

    Ernie Lynch,

     

    Yip

    A Grexit would put us into the world of the laws of unintended consequences, which is why I think it is so important that a “compromise” is achieved which saves the euro and saves Greece.

  14. We also had the Greeks telling everyone they offered similar conditions to the Irish and Portuguese, I expect this to be approximately where it will end up but a bit better, that will lead too there’s wanting a bit better and rightly so.

    What a life you have, jealous as f**k.

    Cool down, we can all have opinions, some you /me will agree with and some not, hey, we’re all tims, I come on here and don’t understand were some of the posters come from, others, I can see where they are coming from.

     

     

    I try to keep an open mind to most that post, kip time, catch up at the hallowed ground. Hail Hail

    Any views on Fraser Forster’s injury?

     

    With Man U and others looking for a keeper, I think it may have cost him a move ( in the short term) , and a possible sell on bonus for us?

    In 350 BC King Philip of Macedonia was intent on invading Greece, the Spartans however offered serious resistance. He sent them a message which basically warned them that” if once I enter your territory and win this war ye will be slaves for ever”…the Spartans wrote back a message that contained one word. …IF

    Ok Athens, let’s write down half your debt and restructure the reining billions at 0% over the next 300 years.

  20. Wouldn’t it be magic if all the tourist countries left the euro.

     

     

    Holidays would be cheaper again,

     

     

    And I have a 200 peseta note in the drawer up stairs that would get me two weeks in benidorm.

    One of the first warnings that my devout Catholic wee mammy gave me, was that money is the root of all evil, and many souls will be lost chasing the false God called money.

     

    I pray for the Greeks tonight.

    Many forget, that the Crash happened in 2007. Eight years ago. That’s a long time without hope.

     

     

    I don’t do politics but that is a half of my son’s life and speculators from overseas are buying distressed assets.

     

     

    Seems like the auld cycle keeps repeating.
