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.

    With so many out of contract and the war chest firmly locked – please do not presume that they will be up next year automatically

  2. Podium!

     

     

    Feck it, what a day.

     

     

    It’s a fix, bet this appears at bottom of page 2.

    Duncan Ferguson was arrested , convicted and

     

    jailed for less

     

    Whether it happens during or after the game is

     

    irrelevant ..

     

     

    Mentioned that on the last thread ..

     

     

    For a less vicious assault .. Wee dunt with his napper ..

     

     

    Here’s hoping it’s no a Edinburgh Jury :)

    I generally don’t watch their games, but think I might have to see if icanfind a link for it …. Reading sevcomedia and laughing is great, but not enough. I know … Laughing at the afflicted is Not very Christian of me, but what the hell … I’m enjoying this… I’ll go to evening mass tonight to make up for it!

     

     

    Might get 100 Hail Mary’s for what I’m thinking about them right now, but it’s worth it!

  6. Bhoyata signing for the Hoops !!

     

     

    Jar jar Binks signs aff wae a stretch in the klink .

     

     

    The manner in which the Sevco zombie tribute act capitulated was absolutely magnificent ! The peepul have mastered the art of surrendering and WALKIN away like no other. They are indeed a collection of classless clueless monkey orcs who deserve one another and everything they get.

     

    But heh ho there’s always the marching season to look forward too ;)

     

    Ps Jar Jar makes National News lol !

  7. the long wait is over on

    Traynors spin will be

    speyside lad, ha ha there certainly is something in the air at Ibrox that causes some sort of personality change.

    Magic humour.

     

    Have you seen a handsome or non angry hun? Nooo, Nooo.

    PFAyr, when Ferguson was charged, the media made John McStay the bad guy in the whole incident.

     

     

    Kenny Clark who was the ref that day and I believe he is a lawyer.

    I suspect Virgil will be off after the Qualifiers.

     

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

     

    Hail Hail!

  12. I pad freezing, night bhoys, if you don’t here from me again, the I pad is fecked or a hun in work has took a hammer to me. HH

    Good piece. I sense a (*adopts Fergus McCann accent*) “reality check” coming Sevco’s way.

     

     

    They are by no means good enough to expect promotion next season either. Indeed, I suspect Hibs ought to be favourites to go up as it stands.

     

     

    I do wonder if King et al ever really had a plan beyond “get promoted and see what happens”. I suspect we’ll find out in the next few days.

     

     

    League reconstruction got to be on Regan and Doncaster’s agenda now, surely?

  14. BT and Lennybhoy

     

     

    Pair of Roasters, but I love ye both, Well I would said that today :-)

    oh the zombies are sh*te

     

    oh the zombies are sh*te……..

  16. ItaliaBhoy:

     

     

    I’ve heard nothing from King that even remotely suggests he has a plan for this.

     

     

    I wonder if they’ll have the brass neck to go crawling to Ashley.

  17. Charles Kickham: Totally agree. More than ever, that mob have to live within their means to survive. I see Hibs being promoted automatically next season, can’t see Sevco being in a position to compete with the best of the rest. Dark forces could intervene though.

  18. If Moshni is out of contract tomorrow, and heads out the country, will Police Scotland, and the FTSFA still take any meaningful action ?

     

    He should be arrested tonight whilst still in the country

     

     

    Hail Hail
