Our African players, Hawkeye, 1254125 and more!

1031

The December issue of CQN Magazine has arrived!  We have 116 pages material written for and by Celtic supporters.  We cover 1254125 (hopefully a phrase you are already familiar with), and our newly fertile African territories.  There is an excellent analysis of our perennial penalty problem with lots of articles from fans sharing their Celtic experiences.

………and we cover the Champions League in some style.  The games against Barcelona, Spartak and Benfica are all given their place in our history while we look ahead at who we could face in the next round, and beyond!

It’s all there and available to read online for free, although you can sell some of your Sevco shares and pay to have a hard copy specifically crafted for you if you wish.

Before you read, we thought it might be helpful to give you a quick guide on how to use the magazine online…..

A QUICK USERS GUIDE TO GETTING THE MOST FROM CQN MAGAZINE ONLINE 

When you see the magazine on CQN – don’t try to read it inside this graphic – click on the button at the bottom right hand side of the magazine which has two diagonal arrows. This will show you the magazine in full screen.

The first button on the left, a little arrow coming out of a box, allows you to SHARE the magazine. You can post to Facebook and Tweet the link on Twitter to spread the word!

The next button – this is the SEARCH function. Type in Barcelona and all the mentions in this edition will be displayed.  The third button in from the top left – the next button takes you to RELATED publications. Here you can view all the back editions of CQN Magazine and all the related content we have loaded, including many of the documents in the past year.

The next button is for a Table of Contents but we don’t use this function so ignore that one.

Next along, with the downward pointing arrow is the DOWNLOAD button. If you want to download and read the PDF this is where to do it. The last button at the top left is the PRINT button – ideal if you want a hard copy of page or two.

Moving to the bottom left – we currently have the BUY CQN ANNUAL button.

Over to the bottom right hand corner and working from left to right – the first button has three parts, allowing you to read CQN magazine as a double page, or single or to scroll over the pages.

The next button along to the right, with the plus and minus signs – allows you to increase or decrease the size of the page on your screen – ideal for easy reading.

Next along is the page number, showing the left hand page number you are on from the total in the magazine, in the new issue that is 116 pages (More than double what it used to be incidentally!)

Next along is the button with the two arrows, pointing to left and to right. These allow you to turn the pages forward to the right and back to the left.

Next there is a volume button and finally the arrow we started on at the bottom right hand corner that allows you to view in full screen.

You can also turn pages by scrolling over the page corners. Inside the magazine you will find embedded videos – these can be watched on full screen. There are links to take you direct to advertisers’ websites and at the bottom right hand corner of all right hand editorial pages, to take you back to CQN. Some smaller images have a function that allows us to increase the size – so click on these smaller photographs and the size will increase on your page to give you a better look.

If you want to buy the print version of the magazine you can do so by clicking the Magcloud.com link on the cover or the contents page.   Magcloud print a unique copy for you and ship from the US, so unfortunately it’s expensive.  You’re vastly cheaper (and some would say better) to order the CQN Annual, which you can do from here.

Enjoy CQN Magazine’s December edition and many thanks to all who contributed!

  1. Jungle Jim !!! Imagine them driving into work on Monday morning and seeing all that !!!

     

    SFA might avoid the issue

     

    Media certainly avoid the issue

     

    But what really matters is the public

     

    So let the public inform the Orc what we think!!!

  2. £30m war chest for the steakbake muncher to look forward to when the transfer embargo is lifted according to Sky Sports.

     

     

    Well I don’t know about everyone else on here but that’s absolutely ruined my Christmas. Everybody panic!

  3. The Battered Bunnet on

    At the risk of taking a little heat, I think there is some myopia or selective reading abroad on the blog lately as regards Green’s Sevco project.

     

     

    Looking purely at the project from a business context, Green has played an absolute blinder so far. He’s taken the remnants of a failed, disreputable business, and in 6 short months recovered almost all of its former customers, and refloated the business on the back of external investments totalling over £30M.

     

     

    He now runs a business that is well capitalised, is trading positively, is growth ready and directed by some fairly grounded people.

     

     

    It’s very easy to dismiss Green as some fly-by-night, and his record would give this some credence. It’s also easy to look at his public personality and pick it to pieces. Certainly much of what he has uttered publicly has been little more than pandering. Expect more of the same.

     

     

    It would be foolhardy though to write him off simply because one might wish or expect him to fail. Look beyond the Bull. Thus far, he’s done pretty damned well. How it plays out from here is another matter entirely of course, but to date it’s a case study in business turnaround.

     

     

    It would be a little foolish not to acknowledge as much.

  4. TBB

     

    I will acknowledge your point (s).

     

    Do you think he could have succeeded with a less enthusiastic and compliant media? Could he have “recovered almost all of its former customers” without their massive aid?

  5. GlassTwoThirdsFull on

    Celtic shares up 10% – 23,000 shares traded.

     

     

    Maybe someone has noticed that one of our players is worth more than the whole of their club…..

  6. TBB

     

    like JJ the scottish media/masons have allowed this to happen..

     

     

    they allowed the myth that they are not dead to be allowed.

  7. playfusbal4dguilders on

    If the world ends on Friday 21/12 (re the Mayans)

     

    When can I put down a deposit for its History?

  8. Both Fergus McCann and Dermott Desmond made huge capital gains on the back of Celtic fans’ money. The fans were not forced to hand it over. Small investors were neither forced to buy nor to cash in, as many did.

     

    DD’s route to his present holding was questionable. Certainly he got there on the cheap.

     

     

    If DD does not maintain the dividends, the institutional investors will be tempted to sell. To the highest bidder. Meaning DD would have to bid for the outstanding part of the company at a far higher price than he paid for his present holding. Or cash in himself.

  9. The Battered Bunnet on

    JJ

     

     

    In the early weeks there was outright hostility in the media towards him. Most of August was soiled pants territory. The papers did little to sell seats at the stadium, and indeed one prominent journo actively campaigned against him in print. Green dragged the punters back using all the available arts.

     

     

    Excluding the sycophants and careerists in the red tops, Charles Green was not well received by the Scots Sporting Press, and remains a figure of distrust, even ridicule, for many.

  10. How many of sevco players would be fit for purpose in a title challenging team?

     

    How much would it take to buy a team to overhaul an established Celtic side who are in a cycle of identifying using and selling on talented young players?

     

    Even if green is not robbing them – they Will not and cannot catch us and remain solvent.

     

     

    Panic ye not

  11. The Rangers fans and investors act of their own free will.

     

    The smug attitude that they are all stupid is just ridiculous.

     

     

    Underestimating the enemy is the first step on the road to defeat.

  12. JJ,

     

     

    I understand your feelings about betrayed values, but I feel that our club is in a terrible position.

     

     

    They have, I believe, the instinct to push the integrity button, but, will the forces lined up against us yield to it?

     

     

    They also have a duty and responsibility to protect the club as a viable entity, which in effect, rules out my BC option.

     

     

    The DC option is dependent on acceptance to another league…and what are the chances of that any time soon?

     

     

    That is why Celtic will always be in my heart, but football will be a bitter memory.

     

     

     

    Blantyretim,

     

     

    Blowing hot and hotter on here about them does not equate to supporters action.

     

     

    I totally agree that no-one should be put in a position on here, where they have to defend their religious beliefs, or lack of them.

     

     

    It is not the place.

     

     

    Neither, I believe, is it the place to discuss and attack another’s political beliefs.

     

     

    We are a club with no barriers, on or off the field and that is as it should be.

     

     

     

    The old slogan of, “Religion, politics or the ladies should never be discussed in polite company”, has a lot of truth in it.

    BT

     

     

    Myth is a good word for it imo. You can choose to belive Green’s Sevco is ‘Rangers’, or you can choose not to. Many in The Press have gone all in for the ‘continuity’ line, but they would, wouldn’t they… they have both personal investment and professional stakes in it.

     

     

    I’ll maybe dig out the ramble I wrote following Nimmo Smith’s statement of reason back in September. I haven’t seen anything since that materially changes any of it.

    Sorry for filling the blog with all this Annual chat. Job nearly done!

  15. snake plissken @ 16:41,

     

     

    You should check out the way the English Football League dealt with Southampton when they put Club debts into a holding Company and tried to fold it insulating the Football Club.

     

     

    Although Southampton F C’s action was probably legit, the action of the EFL prevented any notion of moral hazard.

     

     

    I suspect the Scottish Football authorities don’t even know what that is – moral I mean – pretty sure they know what a hazard is.

     

     

    Just heard an American President state that access to mental health support should be at least as easy as access to guns.

     

     

    Amen to that…

  16. TBB

     

    bluster can only take you so far, for a long voyage you need more than a bit of wind, you need to steer well too.

     

    Also theirs is not a turn around, the previous venture died and someone else took their place.

     

    Check back in three years when the investors early enthusiasm dries up when the supposed tremendous opportunities re brand expansion sound more than a wee tad hollow

     

     

    They’re only pretending at being 140 years old, year on year, that feeling will only increase.

    I doff my cap to you my mhan!

     

     

    You must be bloody knackered!

     

     

    HH!!

  18. Steering well is something Rangers royally failed at given their huge advantage only to snuff it a generation after being the biggest team in Britain.
