Even when Celtic are no longer involved in a cup competition, I usually have a commercial concern for the tournament and the game in general. If we are not at a final (and Newco seldom are), who will buy the all tickets? Even Aberdeen could not sell their allocation of tickets against Celtic in recent finals.
In this respect, it is a good time for the Scottish Cup semis and final to be behind closed doors. The SFA will lose no more money than if Celtic were there for a fifth successive triumph.
You have to feel for St Johnstone fans, already denied attendance at their second major trophy win, they could also miss their third. They were dragged into a sectarian scandal when their players were abused at the behind closed doors quarterfinal. Carried out on the SFA’s watch by staff permitted to be pitch side, how the Association deal with the matter will tell you lots about how our game/country/media is run.
If only the abuser was from a different club, or better still, if he was Czech, the frenzy would ensure such attitudes were not tolerated in Scotland in 2021. But you know there are. Feeling a bit less interested in the SFA’s financial well-being, to be honest.

If it’s true that Eddie Howe is wanting his own coaching staff and that is the hold up.
Good on him. Shows that he won’t be dictated to and has a pair.
Not like the last manager
and on and on.

Or maybe it shows that the man who owns and controls the club might want to win the league next season.
Thanks Coneybhoy and to a lesser extent Ernie.
I tend to avoid the politicking on here, so I’ll have scrolled by.
As to your reference of being part of the cult, directly at you Ernie, if you’d have paid as much attention to nitpicking your fights you’ll have noticed my continual reference to the bigot Dewar-Gibb and how the SNP are still fundamentally the same. Poor fare from you. Don’t make contrition a stranger

The fly in the ointment is that Rodgers was happy to keep Kennedy . He was no yes man and held all the cards when he arrived
The strangest appointments for me were in 2010 when a rookie manager was appointed and he was allowed to appoint rookie team of pals. loads spent on the team then as well
Or maybe it shows that the man who owns and controls the club might want to win the league next season.

Desmond does not own Celtic PLC, he is not even a majority shareholder.
The rest of them could vote against him, they choose not to.

I would be pleasantly surprised if that happens next year , considering the rebuild that is needed

Howe and Celtic are a good fit. Very similar to when we appointed Rogers. He will use us to get to his next job. As long as he doesn’t do a “thief in the night” act like the rat.

It seems to me that shares and PLC’s are not really in sync with the traditional idea of Celtic maybe I’m just not
looking at it the right way but have we fans been anywhere near to controlling Celtic since 1994 despite
numerous oversubscribed share flotations were it seemed the more shares fans bought then the further
down the pecking order we’ve went. Maybe introducing the German football club plan could change all of
that if it became law in Britain? Who knows.
Aye…Howe?
SAINT STIVS on 28TH APRIL 2021 11:44 AM
Could you give me an example of a shareholder with such a holding ever being voted out or overruled?
De facto, if not de jure, one man owns and controls Celtic.
51% fan ownership is law in Germany I think? If so hasn’t hurt them very much.
If Arlene Foster stands down…she could sign up for the Huns as a centre hawf…..Shes ugly enough.

Just read this. It is quite excellent. No torturing of the evidence to make partisan points. You tell just the unvarnished truth about 1916 and the weird coalition of revolutionary socialists and often reactionary ‘Celtic twilight’ nationalists.
Incidentally, the MP first to denounce the appalling torture and murder of Kikuyu/Mau-Mau guerrillas was – surprisingly – Enoch Powell.
You’re also bang on the money about the Attlee government. Economic historians agree that the only two periods of real social mobility in the UK came directly in the wake of Labour governments.
Not just the gulliebillies ard gullible.
Manager who is appointed will have to work in a structure. IMO
