The football FX business, hounding a manager, Road to Lisbon

On Tuesday we covered the financial benefit Celtic experienced after Brexit due to the fall in the value of the pound against the euro – the currency Champions League payments are denominated in. Today Manchester United revealed a different aspect to the same economic calamity.

Much of Manchester United’s debt is denominated in US dollars. As a consequence of Brexit, the pound also collapsed against the dollar; this alone added an astonishing £88m to the club’s debt figure.

I see Newco fans are busying themselves debating who should replace Warburton as their next manager. Fans do this, it’s a Pavlovian response to unfulfilled expectations. Many feel it’s a right and appropriate discourse, but watching from the outside you can see how destructive it is.

When fans emotionally move on from a manager it is difficult to back his team when it needs it most. Should Morton [Celtic development FC] have the temerity to open the scoring at Ibrox this weekend all of this managerial window-shopping will fuel exactly what the home team don’t need.

There are few things we can learn from that lot, mostly ‘what not to do’ related items like this.

The Road to Lisbon May 2017 Cycle

The Road to Lisbon

I am genuinely in awe of the fans who will cycle from Celtic Park to Estadio Nacional, Lisbon, in May to raise money for your Foundation, Solving Kids Cancer and Children in Crossfire. It is an incredible personal undertaking by each of them, which will bring aid and comfort to many in need.

The project is being driven by one of our own, Mouldy67 – who is a role model to us all. This is from his MyDonate page:

My name is Paul Muldoon, I am delighted to be part of a group of 28 Celts, who plan to cycle from Celtic Park to Lisbon. Each of our group will be funding the cost of the professional support company, accommodation, food and travel by themselves.

We aim to raise thousands of pounds to support three charities close to our hearts; The Celtic Foundation, Solving Kids Cancer and Children in crossfire.

The plan is to depart Celtic Park on Thursday May 11, 2017 and will include 13 cycling days, spread over 14 days. We hope to arrive in Lisbon on May 25, 2017.

This project moves a level beyond mere respect, please do what you can to support here.

    Karen Brady oversaw the club’s move from the Boleyn Ground or Upton Park if you like, to the former Olympic Stadium . Seemingly it was her that personally closed the deal, which incidentally is IMO a financial steal ( pity about the team performances though )

     

    She was recently involved in the controversy over what females should wear, quoting it would have made no difference if she had worn high heels or not while negotiating the deal.

     

     

    This move saw West Ham United increase their capacity from approximately 35,000 to 57,000 seats – which were completely sold out before the start of the 2016-17 campaign,giving the Club the third biggest home attendance In England.

     

     

    I don’t endorse everything she does or has done by any means , but her achievements are an example and inspiration to many females contemplating a career in Football.

     

     

    HH. Goodnight all. Off to my pit.

    Give me your tired, your poor,

     

    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

     

    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

     

    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

     

    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

     

     

    except if your a raghead

    People look at the Statue of Liberty and they see a proud symbol of our history as a nation of immigrants, a beacon of hope for people around the world. Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a four. Maybe a five, if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.

     

    ..Hillary Clinton.

    Is Staton Island not American soil?

    I think Morton go into the draw for the next round if they win, saying that the rules have been changed before to accommodate one club, you never know

    Been studying this Dunning-Kruger effect thing today.

     

    Thanks for the pointer.

     

    There’s something to it but I think its cultural not evolutionary.

     

    Even though its undoubtedly a real effect, to me as a believer in the scientific method its evolutionary suicide and thats why its cultural. Somehow in the modern world stupidity is ok.

  15. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Mags,

     

    It’s quality, how many people have you met you can now pigeon hole :oD)))))

     

     

    Agree 100% it’s cultural, the number of times we’ve read/listened to imbeciles spout ignorant drivel and expect people to accep it because they say so.

  16. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    In fact when my lady becomes the magnanimous world dictator, she tells me she will be introducing a law to “slap the stupid” she reckons it’s the quickest and best way to shut them up and allow evolution to get back on track. I told her she will need tonnes of hand cream as I reckon her skin will be like leather before she even gets out of Glasgow.

    I’d be safe from a slap then. Bit that I’d present a correct, relevant or common sense answer/action to your good lady’s Q or over or under egg my ability to answer or action I’d simply get oot my phone and ask Macjay to check wiki.

    It was Amazing seeing a wee Celt getting his photo taken with 2 Big Police officers, efter the Hearts game.

    After the Aiberdeen game @ Celtic Park, I decided to park over the West Side. Lots of Excellent Aiberdeen supporters, still a few that got me wanting to fight walking down Springfield Rd.

     

     

    Nae mair, when Big Supports are there.

     

     

    I had a Great jibber jabber with a Man City dude, who was going to the game with his Son as well.

     

     

    It is Sad, that wee Dildoes that couldn’t fight sleep put you off so much.

    This from Andy Dunn in the Record.

     

     

    ” Rodgers’ problem is that he has, for one reason or another, always been too easy to ridicule.”
