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.

Saw a snippet on Twitter earlier saying one of the TV networks is going to start showing the GAA this summer – anybody know who it is or anymore on the subject – I know premier sports have a subscription channel for this but it sounds like they might have some competition now

Sincere Condolences on the loss of your mum.
I have never forgotten my old man telling me as a wee bhoy after I had given my mum a moothful of cheek (after he leathered me of course!) amongst other stuff: “dont you ever forget that your mum is and always will be your best friend!”.
You know what? he wasnt wrong.
Im sure that was the case with you too.
God Bless Your Mum and RIP!

Glass Two Thirds Full,
While I wouldn’t dispute your figures, I have a very worrying feeling that the honest mistakes plus the monies they do have will be enough for the deid lot to keep up with us in the SPFL. As everyone has seen this season, the cheating has been seriously bad; just wait until they get back into the top division. It will be on a scale never witnessed before. Sure, the word liquidation has already been erased from their history, by everyone but ourselves.
————————————————————————————-
The figures can’t be too far off. Heck, I might even be SHORT!
I guess none of us know what will happen. I just get fed up with the MSM saying we need them for competition when in reality they probably couldn’t even tell you when a form of “Rangers” run with internally-generated revenues was competitive with a strong Celtic. Many decades.
Good reading again from Phil.
Apoplexy and sevcosis abounds, much foaming at the mouth from the uninitiated and a knowing silence from those in the know.
Looking forward to a wee celebration at CP tomorrow. May get the bus through and go a-pinting if there are a few willing imbibers amongst us ;-)
Valentines day

I won`t be at Celtic Park tomorrow. I`ll be off skiing to Kitzbuhel, but can I ask you all to give a wee hand to Ross County, you see they took points off of the sheep on Tuesday night so that I could see The Bhoys become champions (could make a song out of that) on Wednesday night.

Condolences on the loss of your Wee Mam.
Sadly, I know what a void that leaves.
On the loss of our Ma, I told my younger brother and sister that we just got “promoted” in the family. Am sure you and your brother will feel that way too. Remember all the good times.
God Bless
Gerry

You’d be made most welcome mate.

Will do Judith!
Went to my mams today and sat patiently waiting to be told what to do:)))).
Not until I suggested one of my good ideas did she put me right without losing her smile or unfolding her arms.
Thoughts with you & yours boab, my da is in the same place nearer the gate,when he went we thought how are we going to get my mam through it, only on looking back did I realise that even in her time of sorrow she carried us.
Would have done her years ago, HT, but not now. Way too wrinkly
Raspberry-Ah hate Westerns….:)
Excellent evening at the Celtic foundation dinner last night.
Well done to Andy Cameron
Ht,
That’s where my daughter and her friends are going after the game, might pop in and get you that beer…if she allows me too:((
