Michel Platini’s Financial Fair Play initiative at Uefa has been one of the more inspiring developments at the top of our game for decades. It brought spending into line with income throughout the English game and punished what Platini called financial doping.
It has been so effective, Platini now promises to relax the rules. The blame does not all sit with Platini. Uefa are dealing with 10 legal challenges to the rules, with complainant clubs citing European Law in their defence. The big football powers are split. The English appear in favour of FPP (Manchester City aside), while many stressed clubs across Europe are in opposition.
The concept of living within your means is still resisted in our game, not just in barred hold-outs in Scotland.

Yeah…we will see how much the old firmers like it, when we are getting totally shafted by sevco and their hun referees.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
I hope you enjoy your bigotry with a side dish of rampant honest mistakery with just a splash of unsporting integrity.
You will lap it up.
Enjoy
sixtaeseven. How exactly could we have closed the door.
Time to walk I’m afraid – no point playing with a guy that owns a stacked deck
Great call on ssb from a Celtic fan….echoing my views entirely…..fantastic….pundits caught by surprise…..hahahahahahaha

Celtic would not be welcome in the Irish League ( as in the league in Northern Ireland) and neither would they be welcome in the League of Ireland (league in the Republic)
The League of Ireland is a shambles by the way and would be a disaster move for Celtic even if they were accepted which they wouldnt be

“Just remember that Celtic is an extremely complicit member of the SFA.”
Quite right !t
In the spirit of transparency, can we see who voted what on the King case ?
Oor peter is on the board, methinks?
Not just another club.
Tonight’s stunning silence means that we are less than just another club.
“Dave King had been waiting for 74 days to return to Ibrox as a director again,” writes BBC Scotland’s Richard Wilson.
“The opening months of the new boardroom regime have seen consolidation, a bid to restore a sense of stability and the beginning of some long-term thinking, but issues still need to be addressed.
Mmmm?
Delisted from AIM and losing your Nomad – in fact no Nomad wants the gig.
A request from a large shareholder for the re-payment of loans secured against your Training Ground.
A request that an EGM be convened so that the new “sense and stability” board can explain these negative matters to shareholders.
That’s what constitutes consolidation apparently.
I actually thought Burchill was a fairly intelligent x-player, but he just claimed the whole of Scottish football want *thems* back…….eh????

He might have abstained which is even worse.
I support Celtic
I am not defined by The Forces of Darkness RIP or The Zombie Tribute.
The sham at the SFA reiterates what we already knew.
I support Celtic.
My tickets get renewed For as long as I can afford them.
If the Zombies come to play at Paradise in the future I will be there to support my team

You can bet your bottom dollar than either King or Quiffy will be on the football board within the next 2 years or so.

How do you square Celtic’s role in today’s disgrace?
Fit and proper test?
There isn’t one.
King given the green light?
Good I say.
Back to the future.
Only two certainties for clubs operating out of Ibrox – death and avoiding taxes
Give me another lovely league trophy please.
Green and white ribbons on it.
Lovely.

almore get in touch with me or give me a contact email/phone no. and we can get something sorted. H H Hebcelt
Listening to White Man In Hammersmith Palais by The Clash. The line “If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they’d send a limousine anyway.” resonates tonight.
The game’s a bogey.

Seriously, we would be as well just throwing the money on a fire and let it burn, rather than pay to be shafted by rampant cheating.
Its pointless.
All over….They sevconian handshakers have run rings round PL and his cronies, to the point of getting the Celtic to support people who hate them.
Calling them fools, would be kind.
Back of the bus right enough.
not unexpected.. celtic should resign from all sfa boards.. if lawell voted for it he should be ashamed to ever come to parkhead
again… they want celtic to be silent.. they all hate celtic so why keep quiet
Don’t know why anyone is bothered. The cnut didn’t need any fit & proper declaration to invest. Now he can be Chairman or whatever, so bloody what.
Ghuys are talking about walking, the only walking I’ll be doing is out the Gallowgate Road to Celtic Park. Looking forward to next season and the 5 in a row already.
huns promoted.. a retired ref doing game tomorrow.. how is that allowed? hope it turns out like bobby tait’s retirement request. i fuckin* hate them. football is meant to be a sport,,, niot in scotland..it is a charade!
I think we, Celtic supporters, have the right to know how PL,Celtic(*) voted in the King decision.
*As part of the SFA board who took the King fit and proper person decision.
Ffs why don’t you all write to yer new MP’s and
tell them it’s noo fair…….the hun’s coming over
the hill……man up or get tae!!!!
luvbeatingthecheatingbastardsCSC.
Who cares if king is in or not the guys up there with whyte and green, couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it, if we keep our own house in order which we have done we’ll be fine and they can scrap about with aberdeen Inverness and the rest trying to hold on to our coat tails.
They won’t spend the money needed because they don’t have it, they talk about 5/7 year plans to take over at the top, that will only happen if they run and we stand still and we won’t and the orcs won’t hang about waiting they go back to pre-souness crowds of 10,000. We’re here to stay the huns aren’t HH
sixtaeseven. We still have only one vote, we could have threatened to withdraw from Scottish Football. We would have just looked silly and it wouldn’t have made any difference.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
Is Peter Lawell in agreement with this kind of corruption?
Or maybe he didn’t notice it, or know anything about it, because he was too busy looking the other way.
Scandalous cheating.
Staggering complicity.
Too much.

‘Are there really CFC fans on here who want to give CFC grief for the zombies getting what they deserve?
Would any of these guys have walked away when the SFA tried to get the flag to come down?’
###
What did Bob Kelly do when we were told to take the flag down?
Compare and contrast with the actions of the current board throughout this whole sorry mess.
There’s your answer.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
Quonno
I genuinely do not know what part, if any, Celtic have played.
I also do not know how they could stop it.
From the SFA decision..
“The scale of this due diligence is unprecedented but befitting the complexities of the consideration placed before the Board. During this exercise both Mr King and the club were fully co-operative and responded to all questions put to them by the Scottish FA.”
Scuse mister, but you do know that he is a “glib and shameless liar”…so he and they may have responded to all questions, but how certain can you, us or anyone be that they are truthful responses?

I am no way feart of TG&SL at doomdome.
The decision to allow him his place there sickens me.
Corrupt tae high heavens.

Tomthethim have to disagree
“I don’t think that the game of Football would be prepared to lose Celtic.”
Scottish football wouldn’t blink if we were gone
***
Agreed. That’s why I never said Scottish football.
You guys that have just discovered that life us not fair must have had it better than me. Of course people lie and cheat to get their own way. No surprise at all to me.
Our biggest bit of luck is that we are Celtic supporters. We should waken up every morning and be thankful for that.
