Medical tomorrow as player agrees terms

620

I heard two bits of good news today.  First, and most importantly, season ticket sales have been fantastic.  We’re well on track to reach target.  We don’t know what next season will bring from several revenue streams, most importantly what European football will deliver, but knowing the income arriving from season tickets allows the club to make early decisions.

Specifically, a couple of hours ago we agreed terms (with player and club) for the outright purchase of a player, currently registered with an English Premier League club.  He  flies north tonight and will sign subject to a medical, booked for tomorrow.  I understand the coaching staff are delighted at the capture as he’s been our number one priority for some time.

Tip for the day: don’t ask ‘sources close to the club’ what the consequences of today’s result at Fir Park are for us, unless you want a lecture about how:
We’re on our own……
We know we’re on our own……
We’ll stand or fall on our own merits……
We don’t need money from two derby games that we could almost match from a good run in the cups……
We need to build a successful Celtic team……
We need to pull a squad together for the qualifiers……
We need five-in-a-row……
And none of this is changed whatsoever by who else is in the Premiership.  Not.  An.  Inch.

That’s me told.  I also got the feeling no one at Celtic has any appetite to be involved in the kind of scenes we witnessed at Fir Park today.  It’s not the image we have for our future.  We want a successful, family club, open to all.  As it has been since 1888.

Anyway, I’m sworn to secrecy on the identity of the player, but you’re smart, you’ll figure it out.  Well done with the season tickets, take a bow.

  1. My daughter’s cheerleading display took place yesterday. 3-5 pm!

     

     

    Thank goodness for the old Internet. My Dad and I enjoyed the display more and more as we contemplated another hunless year in Paradise.

     

     

    Outside there was a car with a wee private regi plate.

  2. Does anyone think there may be another wee boost to season ticket sales on back of yesterday’s feel good factor ?

    Absolutely….!!

  4. Re the incident at the end of the game at Fir Park yesterday; what if Mohsni reacted that way because he says racist comments were made to him? How could it be proven or disproved? How would the SFA act, on the balance of probabilities?

     

    It would presumably be one person’s word against another’s.

    Motherwell fans, and fans of many other Clubs enter the field of play at the end of season games annually……..why are they suddenly being associated in the Moshni criminal act …….?

    Just watched the hun highlights LOL what a shocker from their goalie !!!!

     

     

    The hun wouldn’t make the SPFL any better, in fact i’d go as far as to say they wont make the Championship any better either.

     

     

    They’re finished RIP.

    There was no violence fro them

  8. The Comfortable Collective on

    Rangers and now Sevco have a long list of their players escaping punishment.

     

     

    Remember Bougerra after the shame game.

     

    Remember Boyds not Proven.

     

    Remember Black and Simmonson breaking all those rules in gambling, including against their own team.

     

     

    Well remember this. Moshni is no longer a Sevco player. So expect a draconian sentence – which he’ll never serve.

     

     

    A slap on the wrist for Sevco and a heavy handed ban for the player (who is no longer a Sevco player).

     

     

    So the SFA can squeak and Squeal about how fair they are and look how severely they dealt with this (ex) Sevco player.

    They are gubbed and finished but yet again we see posts this morning of conspiracies around every corner

     

    Dear oh dear

    2 points whilst I’m still LMFAO

     

     

    1. Moshni – will need to be tried in absentia. Out of contract and no re-sign, doubt he’ll be in Scotland after the end of the week. he will be a no show if it ever gets to Hampdung

     

     

    2. For KevJ – You don’t need to wonder about season book sales. Just go to the website and count the spares. I’m not counting them all but it looks about 30k to me at present. And this is important. ALL taken before SEVCO was decided. Presumably, any further sales will not be Laurie fae Dennistoun Hunlovers…..

     

     

    Now back to gloating and smug giggling……..

  13. Moshni is gone unfortunately. I think he should be sentenced to sign another contract and play for them every game next season.

     

     

    Actually a whole lot of their older players are now gone. Most of them were poor performers and well paid so it might actually be good for them. They can reduce the wage bill, play young players augmented by a few Bosmans and live within their means.

     

     

    At least that’s what any sensible, well run club would do. They will probably splurge on a whole load of overpaid veterans looking for one last big cheque.

    Only last week a Herald journalist was remarking on Motherwell, although not having done it this season, had a tradition of last day of the season celebrations.

    TD67: If you trace a lad in Canada who came from Kilmarnock called John who was a member of the Bramalea and gave a skip bun net to ‘ a mad Celtic supporter from Kilwinning in 2001 on a cruise tell him I’ve still got it and still wear it.Long shot I know but they come up sometimes. Enjoy your trip. If you can go to Canada why not try Dublin 2016?

  22. And tonight their chums over in Hamburg could get relegated.

    Interesting question and one which further highlights why the Tonev decision was ridiculous in the first place. Only a matter of time before something like this happens.

    On a more serious/sinister note, I was shocked at the levels of sheer hatred directed towards pretty much every one of their own players from the rabid hordes on FF.

     

     

    Even if you make allowances for the fact their follow followers are clearly distressed at the failure of their team, the vitriol and bile spouted towards their own, is, quite frankly, disturbing.

     

     

    I do not know what age you are. However, as someone with seventy years experience of THEM, I can assure you that there is no limit to THEIR vitriol and bile towards not only THEIR own but everyone in general. THEY are truly Scotland’s Shame.

    A couple of notable omissions.

     

     

    The kit man – Jimmy Bell end and Govan’s anser to Shakespeare, bumber brown:-)

  26. Went to look at the BBC Scottish Football page and I am greeted with a picture of Meekings kissing the Scottish Cup.

     

     

    Of all the Inverness players to interview they chose Meekings. Not a goalscorer. Needlessly provocative?

  27. SFA must surely find that THEY have done everything in THEIR power to prevent Moshni from being a thug.

  28. Sky pics show Lee Erwin offer his hand to Mohsni as they leave the pitch and what did he say to him……was he baiting him….why not walk alongside the guy and offer your hand…..why push him from behind….cowardly in fact…..one thing for sure he might not be great at footie but he sure can deliver a good upper cut….Lee Erwin picked on the wrong guy and deserved his bloody nose.
