According to their manager, Newco are doing just fine, better then fine, in fact, it’s just that Celtic are fabulous (my interpretation, not a direct quote).
He spoke in response to fan protests at their game against Kilmarnock. Apparently, after “55” (cough) they took their eye off the ball.
Mick Beale has a point. Celtic are fabulous, Newco win their first Scottish Cup and reached a European final; overachieving by any measure. But fans cannot be placated when losing.
It’s easy to see the folly in others. The Newco board are far from the worst option the club has. Change may not be their friend. There are zero options for stopping Celtic short of another random season. This is due future fans need to get on board or there will be a lot of banners. Protests because of Celtic could become a regular fixture.

That’s not the first post on here that say what women can or can’t do, or even what should be expected of them.
Guys,
As previously stated we all have our own ideas about enlarging the standing section and in general the upgrading of Parkhead ( Celtic Park )
I welcomed MM’s input into redevelopment. It may have been aspirational ( some may say pie in the sky ) but at least he detailed his thoughts.

Jeezo.
Why say it in one post when you can say it in 10 posts?

There was NOT TEN Posts on the subject.
You should do a recount.

What exactly are you suggesting?
Nobody, but nobody on here advocates woman’s rights and equality as much as I do.
I don’t see many members of the GB or Bhoys Celtic being female. Do you ? That’s not misogynistic, it’s what I witness.
Imo a very poor unwarranted post from yourself. Of course you could detail your post to promote clarity, then we can debate it.

WUMMIN are BRILLIANT at walking quickly down the street with their ARMS FOLDED, and talking at the same time….NOT Many Men can do that.
LOL
HH
What do you think Jimmy, Arron or Matt ?
H H. Mick
Usually the only times that you will see MEN walking up and down with their ARMS FOLDED…..is the Managers on the Touchline at many Fitba games.
These SAME Managers wouldnt attempt to do that in the STREET ?
WUMMIN Dae it BEST !

For now, I am more than Happy to see AARON in the starting line up.
In an article yesterday, young MATT O’RILEY was talking of the ADVANTAGES of coming on as a Sub later in games, as the opposition are maybe a bit tired after Celtic have had them running about chasing the ball for over 60 Minutes or so.
MATT also spoke of having more Goal scoring chances as the opposition are a bit tired ?
Who am I to argue with MATT ?
LOL

Wummin are also good at walking along the street arm-in-arm with a wummin friend.
A man couldn’t do that with a mate.

Thank you so much for posting that, such a great ghirl.
Will always stay in my memory, telling her and her dad
about the first professional Indian football player
MOHAMMED SALEEM and how he would play without
boots but bandaged his feet instead, and of course he
starred for the famous Celtic.
Who would have believed years later she would be
starring for our club.
Looking at such a talented beauty I knew why none of
our young loons never missed a nights training when
she was there lol.
Strangely enough, I got talking to another Sri Lankan
mother last night of another fine young girl training with
us.
It couldn’t happen again, could it 🇮🇪 👍

The fact you categorised women with children families and the elderly, suggested they were in a different group to men. If that’s not what you meant, fair enough. What membership of the GB has got to do with it, I’ve no idea. There are women in their section, no idea if they are members of the GB. I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be barred from membership because they are women.

Bit harsh surely BJ ?
At the very least …..
Couldn’t you throw him both a rubber ring and an onion ring?
If nothing else, you’d see where his true motivations lie?
I was at a funeral of a guy who drowned and his best mate chucked a lifebuoy on top of the coffin.
I asked why and he said :
‘it’s what he would have wanted’
JACKIEMAC on 7TH MARCH 2023 5:06 PM
why have they less money than us ?
if they went bankrupt, don’t they start again?
Season tickets are less but they have had 2 long runs in the EL. Their contracts and merchandising are a mess –does that explain it all or are we just run well!genuinely clueless about all this stuff but it’s clear that someone there is limiting their spend.
====
One possibility is the new FSR regulations. Financial Sustainability Regulations that have replaced FFP this current licensing round.
Celtic made a point at AGM that they played a big part in its creation and Andre Traverso was responsible for it , it was an open door waiting to be pushed as he was well acquainted with SFA and Rangers skullduggery from evidence of it presented both by Res12 and a report to the UEFA Integrity site pointing to SFA as a source of concern granting licences that should not have been.
That is background but specifically from this season the amount of money that can be spent on players is limited to a % of football earnings which are specified in FSR.
The limitation for this round starts at 90% of football earnings, 80% next season and levels off at 70% in season three.
90% looks achievable for most clubs , the idea is to get them thinking how they can get down to 70%.
However if you sign a player on high wages where you have to pay full tax and NI on a 3 year or more contract then he will be on the wage bill calculation in 3 years.
So without the freedom to use non football earnings , or confetti shares as we know it, some harsh realities are beginning to dawn at Ibrox and around the football landscape.
Given Celtic negotiated that limitation , something I’ve been asking for on blogs since 2010 , that might explain our current value for money spend under Ange too.
The thing is CL income is a legitimate football earning and winning this title will help us keep ahead of anything that lot can legitimately earn and allow us to be more wage competitive season after season.
FSR has fundamentally changed the football landscape in Scotland and Celtic can only screw it up for foreseeable future . Given the effort put into FSR by the club and shareholders seeking the truth (and there might be a bit more on that to come that could be helpful) then there is no reason to return to football comes second policies.

the faithfuk through and through JS lower could offcourse just renew their season card in the exact same space just standing up.
hampden every where our support stood up.
even in the debenture seats.
its good for most people, sitting down is the modern smoking.
…………….
I attended the recent League Cup Fonal at Hampden too. I’ll be 72 shortly and spent the game in extreme discomfort having been forced to stand to see the action during the 90+ minutes of game time. I was glad to sit down at half time. I was in the South Stand Lower Row RR, reasonably high up from the pitch and everybody stood having paid £44 for their tickets. I was ecstatic at our performance and result but it was not comfortable. I can only describe the relatively short walk from Hampden to Kings Park Station after the game as agonising.
I have to agree with Greenpinata and Tom McLaughlin. Elderly fans need a bit of comfort to enjoy the game. Any fans being dislodged from a seating section to accommodate standing fans need to be given seats in another section.
People stand at cup finals due to adrenalin/excitement but if you try standing at a league game you are quickly moaned at to sit down. Horses for courses

Thanks for your post.i was looking for meeja content on who is under watch via FSR only came across this
https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/sport/football/rangers-uefa-financial-fair-play-27896169
A statement said: “Finally, the CFCB First Chamber also observed that another 19 clubs that took part in the 2021/22 UEFA club competitions, namely Borussia Dortmund (GER), Chelsea FC (ENG), FC Barcelona (ESP) , FC Basel 1893 (SUI), 1.FC Union Berlin (GER), Fenerbahçe SK (TUR), Feyenoord (NED), Leicester City FC (ENG), Manchester City FC (ENG), Olympique Lyonnais (FRA), Rangers (SCO ), Real Betis Balompié (ESP), Royal Antwerp FC (BEL), Sevilla FC (ESP), SS Lazio (ITA), SSC Napoli (ITA), Trabzonspor AŞ (TUR), VFL Wolfsburg (GER) and West Ham United FC (ENG), were able to technically fulfil the break-even requirement thanks to the application of the COVID-19 emergency measures and/or because they benefited from historical positive break-even results (T-3 and T-4).

Auldheid,
And whit about the spivs that “invested” and provided loans at loan shark interest rates because they did not qualify for loans since all their assets were already hocked out, I suspect loan repayments and interest rates are eating up the majority of any income and likely to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
An Tearman
Yup. They would have fallen foul of the old FFP break even rules because they escaped the full consequences of their unsustainable financial policies under SDM.
FSR is designed to save them from themselves as well as protect fellow clubs but so used to getting away with it have their support become they are in the early stages of grief. Denial , anger , bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Chances are they get stuck at anger.
Canalamar.
Good to hear from you. Yup I wouldnt rule out debt chickens coming home to roost either as a reason.
Sooner or later reality bites.

Can you enlighten me as to why my posts are characterised by you, as lecturing, whereas yours are, presumably not so? Am I being lectured about something when you provide unsolicited employment advice? Is it a hobby or your full time employment?
if you are able to answer such a difficult question and are able to categorise your posts and those of others with such discrimination, perhaps you are more qualified for the employment you wish me to undertake.

Any idea when that vid was released?
AN TEARMANN on 8TH MARCH 2023 11:57 AM
Just curious if there are specific refugee’s or all refugee’s, I don’t remember seeing it during the wars of Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen or Syria all of which the UK were happy to spend taxpayers money initiating and prolonging.

All i have is the date on the tweet 7/3.
I guess made in response to patriot braverman

AN TEARMANN on 8TH MARCH 2023 12:45 PM
Cheers. Its no really clear on anything really except war produces victims and refugee’s, I don’t remember anyone saying the likes of the people described in the vid are criminals. So not really sure what they are responding to or the point of the vid.
Lots of noise coming from Hearts about big changes to their team because of a long injury list, for tonight’s game.
Do we think this is the old tactic of getting us to lower our guard?
Or an attempt to prioritise the Scottish Cup Q-F tie as they are a much harder team to beat in Edinburgh?
