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.

Gazebo time!!
Not posted in a while but as the news regarding Oscar comes through I thought theres really only one place to be, here on CQN amongst you,
MWDs post from earlier was very well put indeed, you wrote what most of us would have been thinking big fella, thanks not only for taking the time to write it, but also for sharing.
The Knox family are enduring something that none of us in our wildest dreams could ever imagine, they have shown and continue to show magnificent strength and dignity, we have learned and we will continue to learn from them, Oscar is an inspiration to many, he brought many of us together on this blog, particularly on Green Bucket Day, our Oscar, Our Celtic Warrior.
I wont be at Celtic Park today, but im sure that the minutes applause planned for the 5th minute will be as loud as has ever been heard at Paradise, it will resonate throughout the Stadium, through the attending media to all corners of the world, most importantly it will resonate across to the 6 Counties to Oscar and the entire Knox family.
Hail Hail Oscar Knox

I have family in Long Beach,so I`m always interested in the current state of terremoto.
Agreed.The next big one is only a matter of time.
Look forward to hearing your tales of cosa nostra.
Always fascinating.
Cheers
Just home from Lennoxtown. Celtic U-12’s lost 2-3 to their Ibrox counterparts.
I watch games there fairly frequently, it’s usually sedate, enjoyable,cold but enjoyable against the wonderful backdrop of the Campsie Fells.
Not today, lots and lots of Deadco adherents, desperate to beat a team of kids clad in Green and White. One middle aged person even had a Rangers scarf on, at this boys game.
Anyone in any doubt about what will continue to fuel them ? Simple, it’s hatred, it’s both naked and raw.
Hatred will be a tough one for Celtic players and supporters to deal with.
