Living within your means still resisted

953

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.

    Why are we having so much trouble closing that advert when you try to open CQN. They tried to get rid of the Hun but the refuse to go away, now we have CQN putting up adverts that refuse to go away too.

    Any Legia fans I’ve met have been fantastic – bit annoyed with us but getting over it – SLOWLY

  13. Hmmm…..

     

     

    We (Celtic supporters) took fair umbrage at Mhairi Black’s reference to us as ‘scum’. I am not sure that the supporters of Legia deserve this moniker.

     

     

    Also, in all the years that Zbyszek has been on this blog, he has behaved (through his postings) as a fairly reasonable individual. I think he deceives a bit more respect that he has been receiving of late.

     

     

    Just my opinion…

    Saw your 67 year old post on previous article…………

    At this time of the year, the media are desperate to fill colum inches, they pluck a name out of the hat and go with it, 99% is garbage, they don’t have a scooby what the club are up to, and I’m glad of it.

     

    I trust RD has furnished Pedro with his requirements, and the SSM will do what he always does.

     

    As for Jamsie leaving, who knows what the coaches are thinking, when fit he is a very decent player.

     

    Lanny said a couple of years ago that Jamsies problem wasn’t always being injured, but it was always a condition, whatever that ment :-)

     

     

    Whatever, I trust RD, Pedro is another matter :-)

  19. South Of Tunis:

     

     

    I’ve been screaming for years, banging my nut of walls, losing it with people I should not have, screaming for Celtic to find the bottle to just walk into a court of law and let justice take its course.

     

     

    And if it did not, then elevate it to the next level.

     

     

    And if that did not work out as just, then the next level.

     

     

    And if that did not work out as just, then the next level.

     

     

    And then the next and then the next and if in the end we don’t see justice, justice and a level playing field for all…

     

     

    then have the bottle that our Belfast cousins did, and pull the pin.

     

     

    The reverberations would shock the world.

     

     

    But if there is no will, and a share of the bigot purse is your goal and your god, then there is no way.

     

     

    Silence seems to be the way of the Celt of late and as each and every day passes I’m losing the will too.

     

     

    Morals over money or money over morals.

     

     

    I’ll sleep tonight.

    Retaliation? They’ll retaliate whether it is official or not.

     

     

    They always did.

    As you all know by now my Brother passed away yesterday morning,I put it on the blog as there were a dozen or so met him at a BBQ last summer and I thought I’d let them know he had passed away. It’s been a sad time but I’ve been overwhelmed by the condolences sent to me regarding my brother.There are far to many friends on here to thank in person, but my heart goes out to you all for your kind thoughts.

  24. !!Bada Bing!! on

    I am indirectly supporting Mr Z,re the behaviour of Legia fans at Murrayfield,i am pointing out that we have a small element at away games who IMO embarass the club,both inside and outside the stadium.If you think i am being unfair,go and see for yourselves.To think we have 100% well behaved fans is ridiculous.I am also aware of unnecessary provocation of our support,both away and by the FOCUS mob.HH
