The biggest story in the Deloitte money league table, out this morning, is that of Milan and Inter, 14th and 19th place respectively. Inter are stuck between Everton (pining for a new stadium to remove the biggest inhibitor on revenue) and West Ham (soon moving to a new stadium).
Juventus are 10th and Roma 16th but that’s it for Italian clubs, who were able to attract the top talent from Law to Ronaldo and all generations in between. The fabled ‘lure of the lira’ wasn’t replaced by the lure of Italian stocked euros. Football in Italy is still a huge business, but the TV market is not as generous as the deal in the confederated league in England and Wales.
It’s not so long since Celtic regularly featured in Deloitte’s report but our TV revenues have stagnated while those elsewhere have grown considerably. We’ve recognised our place in the food chain, but next to slip off the list when the new English TV deal kicks in will be the big Milanese clubs. Good.
Celtic were first to suffer the consequences of the TV and football markets cartels. There’s little we can do about it alone, we need big clubs in big countries to also be unhappy at being pushed out of the tent.
We’ll soon read that Crystal Palace earn more money than Inter Milan. Experience suggests that football clubs, once disenfranchised in this manner, become advocates for change. Even those near the top, like Karl-Heinz Rummenigge’s Bayern Munich, are talking about a European league, as their domestic TV deal is holding them back.
Magners Ticket Competition
Fancy two Premium Seats in the Jock Stein Stand for Saturday’s game against St Johnstone, courtesy of Magners? You can win by answering this question, which will hopefully bring back some memories:
We said “Cheerio to 10-in-a-row” on 9 Mary 1998, but just before halftime that day, a St Johnstone player went within inches of equalising with a header. Who was that player?

Many congratulations.
This was my reply to bobbio……
Morning Mick. Thanks for your email pal. I agree with so much of it. But…..! I have relatively little time these days with lots of ‘new’ stuff to contend with. So when I took that reduced time to cqn I first had to get past the pop ups, to then only be met with a complete deluge of personalised pish! Used to be easy enough to scroll past the occasional crap and enjoy the good stuff but that proportion seems now to exist in the inverse despite the attempts of the good ghuys. So I’m still lurking but not with sufficient diligence to now know who’s said what exactly to whom! Still love the good ghuys n ghals the same and see them at the Corner and in Dublin. HH

I still lurk. But jeezo even that’s a torture at times these days!

Petec,
” Canamalar, I can’t do anything but Promote Yeshua, efter all I know.”
But having a pop at economic philosophy is not promoting Yeshau is it ? it is creating hate, is that Yeshau’s message, or are you deciding that anyone who has different economic philosophy from you must be doing it because they are inherently evil, is your understanding the only correct one ?
Canamalar Gr8t
Christians dinnae kill, we both know that.
I love a Devils advocat.
Jakes gang?
Pesky new iphone!
DoppelgängerCSC
canamalar to make you totally aware. I’m not educated well.
Yeshua/Jesus is what I promote, because I know he Saved my Life.
It isn’t as simple as a sentence on a Celtic blog.
Ghandi said “I like your Christ. I don,t like your Christians.” However, a very wise and often overlooked Engishman, G K Chesterton,made his own observations.
“It is not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting, rather it hasn’t been tried at all.”
Even better. “The Christian is expected to admire every creed except his own.”
As for a defensive midfielder, Celtic already have one. They just haven,t played him there.
It looks like the CH positions have been sorted.
Play Efe in the holding position and watch him flourish.
The guys like SOT and such will be back.
Kojo I,m afraid, looks as if he,s joined the big Stock Exchange in the sky.
Hope I,m wrong.
Petec,
You got a rough time because of the arrogance you display that the western bible is the only true word, you dismissed Christian sects who have been practising Christianity longer than the western bible has been in publication or even compiled, as Gnostics, because their Christian rites and interpretation of his message is a wee bit different from yours.
People who still fundamentally believe the only true path to heaven is through the Christ yet you declare them to be heretics ffs, aye ah gave you a hard time but I don’t hate you for it I simply see you as a misguided fundamentalist like many of our Islamic friends.
Petec,
“Christians dinnae kill, we both know that.”
Are you now saying Christians can’t be sinners ?
I,m not a particularly religious man,but I can tell you that Padre Pio has saved me twice. I say his novena. Sometimes I forget,cause I,m an oul git now.
It,s a simple thing to do.
I speak to him as a friend. He has helped others when I,ve asked.
Some would call that Blind Faith
I call it Christianity, because he intercedes for me and others.
Unlike Petec, I am an educated man. I will discuss Philosophy and Religion at any level. I try to do good in this world. To me it is as simple as that.

Strange comment, you wanting me to be a hater?
You promoted Thomas Book, I recall.
You, and Only you, are Undermining John 1.
I hope you check oot John 1.

Gutted I never made it over this weekend, could be a great game tomorrow.
Wonder if O’Halloran’s head will be right for this one or what reception he will get if the signing is imminent with Sevco
Petec,
No one wants you to be a hater, you are displaying hatred by declaring which economic philosophies are good and bad, communism bad therefore all communists are bad, no, that is straight from the book of hate my friend.
anger is an energy company
On the Thomas book, I advised that the Coptics have Thomas as a saint, the Coptics are an older version of Christianity the anything the west has yet as usual the wests arrogance declares only their version is correct it the same with just about everything you care to mention only the west can be correct even whan it’s failed time and time again like capitalism.
Canamalar,
Back to why you got so upset?
Why did I upset you?
Not many converse on CQN with me now, so having a reason why not would be very much appreciated. with Respect.

Try and make sense of the OT.
Yer too self centred like me to do that. Hail Hail Mr C
I think there might be a “wee” joke included in this account of some good news for James Forrest (from The Scotsman Rumour Mill)
“Forrest escapes flashing trial
CELTIC winger James Forrest will not face trial over claims he got his lad out in a night club.
The 24-year-old was accused by police of exposing his privates and committing a sexual assault during a boozy night out.
But the case has collapsed due to a lack of evidence. (Scottish Sun)”
Petec,
I did not get upset, I simply pointed out that what you think you know is exactly that, you only think you know and use that to condemn people and things you IMO have been educated to believe are bad/evil
You took an economic theory and accused it of being the worst in fact there are connotations that it is sentient. A theory that actually depends on people acting very much like Christains are expected to behave for it to work properly, treating people properly and sharing.
It was and is a sweeping statement that IMO does not betray Christianity.
EddieinKirkmichael
A really good post late last night.
SFTB,
I hope Jamesie will reach his potential, Ronny, IMO, is Brilliant for Celtic Fitba Club.
We are so privileged to have this Dude, and he gets Celtic Big Time. He wants to be challenged, ffs, Scottish Fitba, as Celtic Manager, Big Challenge.
`Jakesgang` sounds so much tougher. Sorry for interrupting ChritianQuickNews.

I like the Thomas books as well ……
“…a tank engine who lived at a Big Station. He had six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He was a fussy little engine, always pulling coaches about. […] He was cheeky, too.”
