Neil Lennon’s interview with the official site was the second resounding State of the Club address from Celtic within a week. The manager said:
”Clearly, in terms of where Rangers do play, that is now a matter for others to decide upon, it is something we have no control or influence over.
“We must now move on, and move on with a collective unity between the supporters and the club and the team.
“We need to stand strong, shoulder to shoulder and all work together to continue to move the club in the right direction.
“We want as many fans as possible to come back to the club and take their seat at Celtic Park and invest in the club as much as possible.
“We are now looking forward and not back, we have a vibrant young team, I want to progress this team as far as I can but we cannot do this without the fans’ support.
“There will be no slacking off or complacency, we have a lot to look forward to and that´s what we are preparing for, but I need to be very clear, we need our fans with us every step of the way.
“We cannot let outside negative influences dictate the mood at Celtic, we are very optimistic and we are very much looking forward to the season but we need our fans right with us”.
“It´s imperative we make inroads in Europe again this year and it would be nice to get through the qualifiers and into the Champions League group stages, but I´m under no illusion how difficult that´s going to be
“Everyone wants to play at the big table and that´s our whole focus. We go into this as champions and that is a fantastic feeling, so hopefully that will give the players an extra spring in their step.
“If we qualify then you never know where it will take us.”
I hear season ticket sales are up on the corresponding period last season but the message from Neil is clear, with the driver for high-value corporate ticket sales missing, Celtic are more dependent on ordinary supporters buying tickets than ever before.
This is your tax-and-supplier-paying-champions-today-and-next-season-Celtic. You wouldn’t rather it any other way so get along and enjoy it.

SFA response to 3 year accounts requirement –
” the…policy relates to applications for a new membership. In this case, Rangers Newco will be applying for the transfer of an existing membership held with the Oldco.
Rangers Oldco submitted the necessary financial information for 2009 and 2010. It did not submit for the year 2011, which resulted in the Judicial Panel sanctioning the club a total of £160,000 for various breaches of its Articles of Association, and also imposing a transfer embargo which has been subsequently set aside after the Court of Session ruling by Lord Glennie.”
How can the financial information of a previous (and subsequently liquidated!) company provide the SFA with the necessary comfort as to the financial viability of a new and financially unrelated company?
Have the SFA forgotten exactly why this financial information is required?

iki,
you may indeed be right there,i was just suggesting that we may be
following a different strategy to the one many posters feel that
we are doing,which is being complicit with whats going on.
Neil Lennon is the last person i would want to come out and have
a go at the huns,giving what has gone on in the past
philvisreturns,
good job there was no spelling mistakes there or you
would be on a yellow card ;-))
Want a way to save money?
Here is our 1st team squad as per the official website. Now I know we would struggle to get rid of the deadwood for dosh, so lets give them a free transfer and save a million on wages.

Celtic will not become involved in all this nonsense until it actually affects us… Let them get on with it……… Celtic will only get involved when, for example, they start talking about match revenue (season after next) ….. Then Celtic will ‘nip that in the bud’ by introducing A strategy which give the other teams less revenue than they are already getting ………and with them already getting less revenue because of the bhuns cheating etc, they will have to be very careful what they try to pull on us…….

I suppose the only difference between you and me bud is that I can extrapolate further than 52 weeks
Where does this address the corrupt administrators staying in position
If you are happy with your minging wee beads after 15 years of official corruption I suggest you lick them slowly. Celtic beads do not last long.

Regan: “Yes, that’s mandatory im afraid, have you got 3 years worth?”
Green: “Err no”
Regan: “Okay your in then,”

What was Neil Lennons recent statement then ?

The hatred for Celtic on this blog is a fecking disgrace. Don’t buy a season book don’t buy the new top. Bolt and leave the fans who just want to support Celtic get on with it. Same people day after day if it’s that bad go do something else Celtic will survive. GLASGOW CELTIC CHAMPIONS.

Son of Erin
That statement is shocking from the sfa a total joke , the license is about financial security for all members of the leagues and an indication on how the company is going to be run in future !

‘Borgnine was also known for his role as Mermaid Man in the animated television series Spongebob Squarepants.’
So he was on the square, as wellas on the ole Squarepants.
I feel fortunate that I don’t have to make the decision over a season book.
It’s not about punishing Celtic, it’s the sickening realisation that it’s a sham of a competition. It’s a lot of money to pay to support such a league. Then the rebel in me says ‘but that just makes everything we achieve even more special, even more GIRUY’.
In reality I think I’d have held off for a while then gone along with it once I realised that was what the vast majority were doing. And when the SPL chairmen all came out and said Notonewco.
lennons passion, kojo,
Very low on content bhoys and very high on character bashing
This is a debating forum .. you´ll need to use your intellect. If I may suggest you stop the first passer by and ask for help because when it comes to judgement of somebody´s character .. those in glass house shouldn´t throw stones.

It would be rather naive to assume that we don’t need to maximise our revenue …….the Celtic manager always sends out a request to season ticket holders, every season…….there is a requirement for slightly more revenue from now on, but we will survive without it………. Some people are taking from Neil’s message what they want to take from it, to suit their own agenda. Not including you in that statement …..you have more than proved that you have Celtic’s best interests at heart…….
I just want to leave the SFA etc to carry on making a mess of it all……as do the Celtic Board….
And another thing
with all the outpouring of brotherly love between fans of different clubs, I had been thinking how nice it would be to be back in scotland, watching celtic and then, whenever we got shifted/shafted for TV, going to watch someone else on the Saturday 3pm.
Until now I imagined that someone else would usually be Albion Rovers, but not now. Now it would be Clyde.
I remember posting last july/august that the season ahead would, imo, be even more dramatic and tumultuous than the preceding one. In a similar vein and with hope in my heart i so want this season to be a success for us especially in the CL and for the others in the EL. Nothing would bring back supporters more, than getting to the league stages in European football and putting up a good show. It would also be a massive GIRUY to the cheats and their sleight of hand, knuckle cracking, blazer wearing facilitators who are presently trying to blackmail all and sundry who stand in their way.

Then he and Lawwwell should stop signing tripe first and speak second.
Preferably coordinated.
Let us kid ourselves on that it is and that Lenny and Peter get a club mobile phone etc.
Naw but it sounds like it is coordinated.
They are pulling the wool over their own eyes … and that´s the real problem. Not ST sale this summer but next

sparkleghirl – Albion Rovers is a cool guy. (thumbsup)
I can honestly say I am totally ambivalent to any Hun reappearance .. If they materialise as a debt free team – then so be it.
Either they are old Huns reconstituted and therefore SHAMED by their tax dodging malarkey.. Or they are a new club free of debt.
Either way Celtic should not be quaking at the prospect of meeting them.
SHAME ON THEM…SHAME!
Lennons Passion,
I cant figure it out either. Of course no rational plan of action is put forward by this group merely lashing out at anybody who takes a contrary view. If you look at the quality of the people who run the club against those on here, Ernie, Awe Naw and their various epigones – not much of a contest is it

Your stance doesn´t surprise me and I suppose mine does not surprise you.
