If you aggregate the nods, winks and rumours around Celtic this week you might be inclined to think we’re in the market for a target-man striker with a few years’ experience under his belt. I agree with the principle that we need a target man and I’m also of the view that short-term deals are not nearly as desirable as permanent contracts, but as we know, it’s too easy to load the club full of squad players who cumulatively cost a lot of money but scarcely trouble the first team.
Hooper, Stokes, Samaras, Bangura, Rasmussen and Murphy are all under contract for next season and we cannot be confident of attracting bids for any of those Neil Lennon might want to move on. If we add a seventh striker, his name better be on the team sheet before Gary Hooper’s. Signing an exotic version of Daryl Murphy would add spice to our week but would only consume scarce resources. I’d rather not.
Co-opting a media partner works in theory. It’s always better to have good relationships with the media than the kind of relationships Celtic perennially have, but what happens when your media partner plays with a straight bat?
Rangers media partner, STV, today report Nigerian trialist, Michael Uchebo, boarded a plane out of Glasgow a few hours after arriving (Michael, they have taken you away….) as the VVV-Venlo striker with 8 career goals to his name had “a poor first impression of” Rangers.
Michael, you clearly have a rubbish strike rate but you’re a remarkably perceptive individual.

With respect that’s nonsense. Regardless of whether there was anything promised by the old board that they didn’t commit to, he was, is and will always remain a scumbag.
good evening cqn
Heard R C last night heard Del on,a curious individual i think,he could be another one to slit his throat,along with John from Cowcaddens,when the manure hits the fan.

He will realise all the assets
take his own costs(Huge)
then look to address payments to creditors or sell it all on as a going concern.
either way he is covered

the old Jim McColl card
We are no further down the line in signing anyone. If we need to go with what we have, fine.

Don’t you think that, Mo could have been forced into being a scumbag by, the scumbags on the then Celtic board who were prepared to take us, down a division as long as they remained in control ?

Reason I am asking is the wages they would command.
For eg Grant Thornton have been apponited administrators Quinn Insurance in Ireland, they have two guys in there called Michael McAteer and Paul McCann and they presented a bill from August 1st to November 30 2011 for 2.75 million euros plus expences, a judge decided it was excessive and reduced it by 20%.
Whatever, it’s still 500k per month plus expences.
I would imagine the expences would be inflated also.
Where in gods name will wee craigie and any other creditor have a hope of anything once the admin men take their whack.
Looks like admin won’t be on the cards then.
Full blown liquidation, that will do for me.
In fact, didn’t we used to sing as much, to the tune of Mary Hopkins’ Those Were The Days when one of them went down injured’ to play for time way back when.
Die, die , die ya hun, it went.
Apt and to the point I think.

Ask yourself one question mate.
Could I play for rangers?
CQN, just dipping my toe in to say thanks for the Manchester tips the other day, much appreciated.
Also I’ve just posted this mix of music and spoken word if anyone’s interested;
The Barrastinian
I promise after 24 minutes you will be dancing round your computer singing “yeah yeah Hupenyu Hwangu!”
:-)
If you’re not really interested at least take time to look at the picture of Mexican General Jose Francisco Gallardo Rodriguez being embraced by his grand-daughter on release from prison after continuous campaigning from human rights groups. Anyone who is cynical and thinks that you can’t make a difference please look at the expressions on their faces. This is what human rights can achieve.

A lot depends on who appoints the administrator, if its white, then a pre arrangement will have been made(nod and wink) to look after whites interests., any appointment can and probably will be challenged in the courts by other creditors fearing there interests will not be safegaurded.
either way a fat fee for the accountant looms

you ask youself one question.
would you be prepared to see Glasgow Celtic FC, relegated just so that you would remain the main shareholder/powerbroker at CP ?
Who was the biggest villian…Mojo or, a board who would have been happy to see us relegated ?

Thanks, puts my mind at rest :>)

I well remember singing that many moons ago, sounded good then as well :>)
Remember the Huns used to wave cash at us? Just remembered that.
Kind of Harry Enfield thing, for those of a certain age.
I remember a whole bus of them on the M8 waving Tenners.
I think they valour karma.
Marvellous.

How does Dylan McGeoch fit in with your theory ?
I just saw Aunt Sallys performance today. He has the look of the man staring into an oncoming train. Anyone else would have my sympathy, but Mr Dignity deserves everything coming his way.
Laptop Loyal scraping the barrel now, any journalist worth their salt would have ripped him to shreds. How can you assess someone when you are not there?
Oh what a tangled web we weave…
Paul67,
Quality header and it has to be one of your best, good stuff. I see where you are coming from about on loan players but with a bit of care we could still bring in a motivated target man short term for the next few months, especially if they are hoping to play in the Euros this Summer.
I honestly think Rangers are teetering on the brink of total collapse and we probably don’t need the striker but we must concentrate solely on our own quest to get better and to win as many trophies as possible, I hope we are still trying hard to source the correct player to make this SPL as much a cert as possible.
Unlucky for Andy Murray today, I was hoping the influence of Ivan Lendl would have had an instant impact on Andy major trophy wise. I think Andy will kick on and win a major despite todays setback and if he manages to pull it off it will be an incredible achievement given the strength of opposition at the moment.
Good evening Celts, friends and armchair supporters.
I huvny had a swally in January yet and the only thing that will deflect me from getting to the end of the month as per my NY resolution, is the huns collapse…….. the question is, are we there yet?
tum te tum……. :¬)

Is it not amazing that not one single member of the MSM has actually said that ragers should find the money to pay their taxes .
It’s all CW /administration and now it’s why should Mcoll buy them with the HMRC case pending ,would it not make sense to buy them after ,in other words when CW removes it from the equation .
do they know something we all know
hail hail
re my point on RClyde ticket allocation at small grounds, e.g. St Mirren etc
i didnt say “Old Firm”
i said Celtic
and
if the dafties don’t want the extra ticket money, then so be it
also, if they cause a less busy atmosphere by having less fans and loads of empty seats, then they need to take responsibilty for scoootish fitba goin doon the tubes, esp in terms of marketing
good of Andy to get my point in tho, cheers fella
Kev
I admire your avoidance techniques and your ability to turn this into a board bashing exercise, even if it was the old regime.
Let’s take this back to the initial issue. In my eyes Keevins is as much a Tim as BFDJ, would you agree?
I referred to Judas, do you think he’s a Tim.

I think its fair to say that Dylan made a misjudgement based on his feeling his career at that time was not progressing,
A misjudgement he later corrected.
I take your point Kev, but still maintain as a rule, with odd exception, most tims answering Hamiltontims question would say NO
