Getting Brown off the wage bill also frees up some dosh,Transfer fees on Klimala,Hendry,Bayo,Shved and Ajer has helped the rebuild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes this figure even more startling is that the same figure as the likes of Villarreal and Benfica pay out. Although we seem to be comfortable paying that it’s what we get back in terms of results that suggest the money is far from well spent Edited August 2, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s churlish to say it isn’t, the level of consistency to be able to that over 4 seasons is an achievement. There are many clubs across Europe who have a significant financial advantage over the rest of their league and yet have never won 12 domestic trophies on the bounce. It’s something I doubt we will ever see again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Never seen Celtic so bad since Wednesday, that clown they have at the back can't remembers his name, came for the Kazakstani league, I really don't know what to type about Soro, It should be 2 R's ken. The savour of Scottish football, looks like a Motherwell player, not good enough. Where's Eddy????? The Japanees kamakazi why is this happening......

Not like those pesky **** to misrepresent information for their own agenda! Nobody has misrepresented anything, you just assumed something by the looks of it. I could be wrong, but I don't think football clubs often break down their operating costs into playing staff and non-playing staff so it would likely be very hard to say what the exact split is, but the overall figure is still an effective way to highlight the relative spend compared to other clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just when a tackle is so obviously cynical you truly wonder what the ref is thinking for it not to merit a card. We were just off it regardless though. I like you just pick the one transfer window from that season as we recuperated most that money back in the January transfer window. You are cherry picking stuff to try and prove your point but frankly it just doesn't stand up, the accounts over the years prove this. The likes of Ajeti, Duffy, Klimala were never going to fit in with the way we play but the board just decided to tread water with a guy was trying to fit square pegs in to round holes. Sticking with Lennon for so long not only fucked us last season, but is carrying over to this season by dragging our heels for so long. Okay so you recouperated your spend in jan, the 9iar season you needed the tierney sale to break even, that season you made the last 16 of the europa league, iirc thats 6 home european games all season, thats a massive chunk of ticket income that will be missing from last season, so even if frimpong covered the transfer buys, what covered the undoubted massive drop in revenue that celtic will have endured (we all did, im not saying that as a bad thing, just thstit happened) The board can be blamed for the likes of lennon being hired etc, but to say they havent backed the team when celtic run at a massive loss without CL income or player sales is mental, they allowed celtic to run at an 85mill expense figure for scottish football, they did that based on the hope that CL qualification or players sales or both will cover it, Would you prefer if the board turned round and said "we make 50mill a year without euro money or player sales, were gonna budget for that instead" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its the councils that are deciding the capacity? Also the vast majority of the Rangers crowd will be double jabbed due to being grotesquely obese.
