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.

Tsoal.
Hehe.
He’s right funny though. Some right good original quips.
John O’Neil….
I love great songwriters and know that Dylan is one.
His voice irritates me so much I can’t listen to him for longer than it takes to drink a pint of ice cold cider on a summer’s day mate.
Shame really but he doesn’t even make my top 50 just because of that feckin voice.
Maleys Bhoy, is there an update?
Jimmy Bone was possibly the worst centre forward to wear the hoops. I’ve seen Jim Melrose (was at Tannadice whwnn the prick gestured at us) and Mo Bangura.

BCW,
No worries. Sad night
I don’t know Wee Oscar or much of the background to his life,as I’m a Johnny come Lately to the blog.
He must be some wee man judging by the love for him on this blog.
From early life experience,childhood illness is devastating as I was surrounded by it when a child myself.
It is so unfair to burden a poor child with a serious illness.
Hang on in there wee man.
I will say a prayer for you now.
God love you son.
Ryecatcher,
Potent voice, potent songs, potent genius, potent cool and potent up yours to Scottish Communists who deplored his creativity and his journey away from traditional folk, as played by Ewan MacColl and other dullards. Dylan told the Left to beat it at a time when it would have been oh so simpler to stick with them. Had the miserable, conservative and dim Scottish Communists had their way, Dylan would not have made the journey which he eventually did to Rock and Roll.
The man was a lonewolf and the original moonhowler. Heck, he even almost sung ‘I’ve been eh moonhowwwwllllerrrr…’ but not quite. ‘Moonshiner’ was the song.

I knew he wasn’t too well earlier in the week as he was going back in for more chemo. I just didn’t realise how far he had gone backwards. I’m typing this through tears, so I will hit the cot now and pray as long as I’m awake. Night night.
