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.

Lubo’s boots were painted on. He didnae need them!
Really sad news about Wee Oscar tonight ,God give him the strength to pull through this ordeal,the wee man and his parents have all our best wishes and support in the trying days ahead
Mrs and Mr BCW
Thank you. Great quiz.
Kayal
Great knowledge/memory. Well done bud.
God bless wee Oscar.
And they wonder why I question religion. What God in his right mind would inflict such devestation on a young family.
Still. My slight bit of faith hangs forever on a bare thread!
Thoughts & Prayers with stephen Leona, Oscar and Izzie.
Whatever pain we feel is minuscule to that young families.
The day the wee man hugged Hoopy will forever live in my heart. That memory alone is priceless.

JON I’m no Marxist but are you not going a bit over the top with you’re socialist expose.
Maggie would have just enjoyed their discomfort,

Any of you who know me, know that I’m not religious. Although, I think I have seen the power of prayer before, when all the fund-raising in the world wouldn’t have provided a solution to one family’s problem.
We now have a young family in Belfast in desperate need of a miracle and I’m humbly asking you to pray for their incredible, brave wee boy. He’s fought so many battles and doesn’t deserve to be up against it yet again.
Many thanks,
TTTT

I think you are barking up the wrong tree to question God, but, hey oh.
God Bless wee Oscar.
Just in and hearing this bad news.
Everything else is unimportant just now.
Hoping and praying for a better turn for the wee fighter.
Oscar’s family :- I pray for you and of course for the wee man first. There is nothing more I can do. I am bereft of words.

I don’t actually know what the news is about Oscar, it sounds very bad and I have not looked back through the pages, God is the WAN thing that can, well, I know Oscar will be in Heaven, and to me, that is the most amazing thing. Me getting in there? I’m struggling……..like every adult does.
Come on Oscar you have stopped before, so tell it to get lost. get well son.
Apologies.
Oscar will be in Heaven when he leaves this Earth in, hopefully, 70 years.
I have typed and deleted so many ways of wishing Oscar and his family ‘ best wishes’ but in the end all that I can say is ‘ God bless’ .

As SFTB says,everything else unimportant.

I`ll go along with that.
May the Knox family and all other families in the same situation be given the strength to cope.
In my thoughts.
Danny,
I feel yer pain, I’m hurting that so many are hurting, the wee Man is a Gift from God though.
You may think that God is a big Bad Guy, He isnae, long time, long story.
I will tell you one wee insignificant thing that makes me believe.
How can a person lose a pincing screw driver (Electricians take note) in the right breast of an overall supplied by a company, fair do’s you always overload said front sided pockets with various crap. I lost that pincing screw driver for ages, I never put it anywhere other than the right breasted pocket. It appeared in the right pocket again.
Am I mental? NO WAY!!!!
It was a heads up about the Supernatural, it is REAL.
Having total Belief in Jesus Dying and being Resurrected was the Winner for us all.
HH and God Bless
Thoughts and prayers with the Knox family today, hope you can find yet more strength for the battles ahead. God Bless Wee Oscar.

Good grief.
Just read that tweet about Oscar.
Not very many of us have ever met The Wee Fella,now it looks like we never will.
Maybe he’s just tired of fighting,he has fought so hard for so long that who could blame him?
It’s just too much for one so young to bear,my thoughts and prayers are with him and with his family,but most of all I keep getting one single thought running through my thick skull….
KEEP FIGHTING,OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea what you are about posting these tonight when a young lad is in such a bad way and his family is fearing the worst ….. Maybe I am too sensitive but I just cannot understand how you see that your contributions are suitable tonight.
I’m in tears and I don’t even know the wee guy….
God bless you Oscar……God bless you wee guy.
Wee guy with the big fight by the sound of things!!
