Spinning for trouble by Sky

1044

I try to avoid those who really should be avoided but I caught the report of Peter Lawwell’s Sky TV interview on their website yesterday.  The “No summer sales” headline was misleading in itself as our chief exec actually said “there is no real necessity to sell players now”.

We are a solvent and well-run football club, there is no real, or imagined, necessity to sell, but there is an enormous leap between this status and “no summer sales”.  All clubs, not just Celtic, sell when an offer exceeds their valuation for a player and they believe the money could be more productively redeployed elsewhere.  There is no necessity for Manchester City to sell players, not until the oil runs out in the Middle East, anyway, but they may still sell.

Best part of the article was from Charlie Nicholas, “I’m a bitter idiot. Listen, I’ll prove it…..”

I’ve translated that quote from the vernacular.

Loved newco Rangers accounts.  £3.5m in the bank on 31 December, £1.5m loan since, so they have £5m to operate until the season ticket money comes in, which will just be enough, but cash burn is running at over £1m per month; close to £15m a year.

£30m-£50m is not enough.

    I’m no accountant, but disagree with your figures on money spent by a 1 st division mob.

     

     

    Start with £21.2m take in another £13.2 = £34.4

     

    Left is £3.5m so they have spent £30.9 m ?

     

     

    So they have spent the full £13.2 plus an extra £17.7m

     

    Or that’s how it works in my simple Arithmetic world :-)

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Great account of the first leg.

     

    I was lucky enough to attend that game as well and can identify with so many of your recollections.

     

    How marvellous it was to defeat Leeds Utd. ,described in the English press as “the best team in Europe “, on their home turf.

     

    Then the return in Glasgow with that spectacular first half strike from Billy Bremner followed by the final triumph.

     

    The Leeds Utd. tie was the final before the Final.

     

    Unfortunately.

  16. Di Canio – Sheffield Wednesday & West Ham

     

     

    Big Pierre – Notts Forest
