POAK can offer Greg Taylor a three year contract, which, for Greek incentives to attract foreign labour, half of which is exempt from income tax. The other half would be subject to a top rate 3% less than the top rate in Scotland. His net earnings there are likely to be higher than what’s on offer on Scotland.
It’s clear the player world rather stay at Celtic, or he would already have signed elsewhere. It’s also clear Celtic would rather he stay. But every asset has a monetary value and every squad place is important.
I believe back up players should have their best years ahead of them. We develop young talent or we regress.

Good morning CQN.
Woke up to sunshine 👍 and work 👎.
You can’t have everything I suppose.
GP – cheers.
I think I’m in the exact same spot as you.
Facts simply show we have a bit of a financial disadvantage … when competing to sign players … as a result of which country we operate in.
For me, it just shines some more light on how difficult it is to get players in … never mind the right ones.
BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 10TH JUNE 2025 11:42 PM
By my fag packet arithmetic we’d need to offer close to €30k per week gross to match his net income in Greece.
Almost 50% more !
Hmm

Chairbhoy this morning – thank you for kind words.
At risk of projecting a mutual love in …
… right back at you. Keep them coming.
It’s simply not possible to agree with someone 100% of the time.
And if you have a human conscience that applies also to the person you see in the mirror.
Big positive about CQN for this consumer?
Intelligent, stimulating posts I don’t necessarily agree with.
BSR – aye.
Blissfully unaware was I of this tax break in Greece.
Another positive about CQN for me.
A host who educates more than he panders.
So the solution to Celtics player signing issues is to tax incredibly rich young men less than they would be elsewhere?
Utter absolute guff.
Racist
Your disability is racism
You are crippled inside
White/brown people,invasion pash only
add to the chip(quarty) on your shoulder,
How about cutting benefits to reduce taxes?
Would that have encouraged Greg to stay?
Why didn’t KT go to Greece? He could have cut his tax bill.
Good morning all from Govanhill. Lovely day 🌞
Timmy 7 noted,
Nobody has stated tax footballers less. We have simply stated the taxation factuals which Celtic have to overcome.
As for KT, perhaps the fact that he is a single multi millionaire due to leaving us has influenced his decision.
Totally different scenario from GT.
HH.
Greenpinata, the choices that Greg and kt make are theirs. Discussion on tax is a red herring.
Why was Greg allowed to leave for free? Who at Celtic allowed us to get into a position where Greg had all the cards and we were by bystanders in his decision? That’s what needs to be addressed not tax levels.
Lack of planning on the football side of the business, the same issue we have had since Martins time.
Still looking for a back up left back, how long is that now?
Good luck Greg, by the way you played a blinder and they underestimated you.
Seems like a very low key reaction to Celtic signing someone who has played for top tier clubs in England and Spain, featured in a Champions League semi-final and in theory is entering the peak years of his career.
Meanwhile, the SMSM tell us R2ngers are interested in a “Danish superstar”🤔
Taylor was getting various offers from the Club for about 8 months, Brendan said around November we made an offer to extend
Bada, too late and no serious back up. Greg was in the driving seat. As ever we fecked it.
But we tax more in Scotland………..
If the Greeks had to pay a fee Greg would still be here.
Greenpinata
Take it there is no example then???
Not to worry hooe your well

A surprising Boot Into Brendan article from Alex….
“With the astute Peter Lawell guiding the board from his position as Chairman “.
Now it makes sense.
Guiding CQN too it seems.

Has KT actually signed yet 😂
Looks like some are heading to Def Con2.
We seem to be linked with millions of wide men. I wonder which ones we are really after.
I understand some get frustrated, personally I’m fairly relaxed about it all. I can’t influence it so why stress.
KT only came back cause the green brigade need him as a spokesperson.
😁😉😁
Welcome back Kieran

“Lack of planning on the football side of the business”.
I agree. We do not have a proper fit for purpose structure on that side of the business.
yes we do.
B78- When your hero was in charge, we signed Jo Inge Berget on loan ,on a Tuesday, and played a CL Qualifier the next night,our most valuable game of the season, how’s that for forward planning….
Good afternoon all from me and Leggy in the Brazen Head. He’s tighter than a dead heat.
