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.

Deepest sympathy
I wonder will Neil Lennon send some of his squad off on early holiers now that everybody is on easy street. Surprised to see that Stokesy is on 14 goals to date hope he can add another six and make it the magical 20 strikes making it the third occasion he has topped this mark in his four seasons at the club, failing to reach this mark when he was out with a long term injury.

Cheers mate – makes interesting reading
houl Yer Wheest…………The GAA has a terrific product, big competitive games and massive summertime crowds, I’m not surprised SKY are tracking these games to add to it’s profile.
Let’s hope it does not affect coverage on terrestrial TV. I see BT and SKY have moved in on the Rabo rugby lge next season.

You would probably need to rewind back to Jock Wallace’s treble team of Colin Jackson etc in 1978 as their last untainted title. That was the last genuinely “strong rangers” unaided by spending outwith their means.

Increasing numbers of clubs (or clumpanies) tend to favour the director of football approach. A person of considerable strategic perspective and highly attuned football nous to act as the conduit and gatekeeper between board room and dressing room. Between green playing surfaces and greenbacks.

RE —-MI 19.
Recommend a wee stroll along Kensington Palace Gardens ——- lovely —– a hoose there might cost you £ 50 million . Take a good look at Numbers 6 ,7 and 8 .
Those houses were formerly known as the London Cage . An interrogation centre where ” enemy prisoners of war ” were routinely tortured.

Good to see you again even though the occasion was a sad one. I hope you and your wife returned home safely.
As I was leaving the hall after showing you that poster, a lady rush out after me and asked could she see the “Celtic poster”. As I did so, she explained her reason for asking to view it was that she was the granddaughter of John O’Hara, one of the founding fathers. I just could not believe it. What a small but wonderful Celtic world we live in.
I was not sure if you had ever met the lady and as you know I was rushing off to school but I did ask her to speak to you. Hopefully I will get more details about her from someone who was at the funeral and let you know later.
Oh, and you never got to see VHM.
