Ludo*1 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Also, Nicky Low's loan ends in 9 days (Although I don't think he can fully return to Dens until January?!) so a decision on him will be made soon I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good bit of money Not enough money though. How much are Celtic getting? 10 - 15 million for qualification alone? We're being thrown the crumbs. Celtic fans will argue - why should we be made to pay for our success? They'll then complain about the lack of competition in the league after being pumped 5-0 by PSG while they jeer fellow Scottish sides for their failings in Europe. Complete hypocrites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our biggest fee received in quite a while for doing nothing bar be in the league. That will do That's right G-Man. You peck away at those crumbs. Thank goodness for Celtic for everything you are doing for us! We are so grateful for these crumbs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Any talent we develop with that money will probably sign for Celtic anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 bizarre arguments over that UEFA money. Its not as if Parkheid drew up the payment rules. Im amazed UEFA bothered given out money to anyone that isnt in the CL. Even with big money Celtic have decent runs and other seasons when they are gubbed. We can all celebrate the season coming sometime where we get f**k all. That will be magic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hardly going to thank them for it though, it just makes the gap wider without actually helping us that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ian Murray is apparently away to be appointed as our 'Head of Academy'. Does this mean Jimmy Boyle is leaving? What's the difference in the roles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean Jimmy Boyle is leaving? What's the difference in the roles? The website says that interviews will be November & December so I'd doubt it'd be that imminent tbh, even if he does seem a really good candidate (I'm sure other teams will be thinking as well). On the website, the Head of Academy is technically meant to be in charge of 16-20s but the Head of Professional Programme will manage the 20s. Another full time role below that for under 16s and then a sports scientist. There's certainly space to bring an outsider like Murray in but then also formally appoint Boyle and McPake to take these vacancies.

I'm guessing Boyle and McPake must be in the frame for them anyway since we didn't let Falkirk speak to them + providing he didn't unsettle things too much Ian Murray would be a cracking addition tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Bobby Conner and Gavin Rea are the only 2 Scottish midfielders I can remember getting a call up while actually playing for us. Big fan of Gavin - industrious type, with a great engine. He would do well in our current team. Strachen is the best we have had since the 60's, but even though he was my hero as a kid, he never made an impact until he left us. Same with McCann. You could argue that both were more wingers though, than real midfielders. Wieghorst for me above McDonald. Bobby Connor only got called up when he went to Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then reallocate the saved amount to wherever you like. Simple, thank you. Edited October 19, 2017 by jagfox99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
