Celtic Thread - 2022/23

[Magicpole]

Celtc thread and it’s about the Sevvies… anyway. The shares won’t actually raise much money, is it an attempt to keep within FFO though. Basket case club.

It’s always a case in point to talk about rumoured repeat financial Armageddon of your hated rivals. Parks resignation means I’m, as always, streets ahead of the rabble

 

[GunnerGer]

Park quits Rangers. I’m not saying it was me pointing out financial choppiness ahead that did it, but, I’m not saying it wasn’t.

What’s your take on this? Jumping before the Saturday massacre, or just fed up with you ungrateful cunts after he wasted his families treasure bailing you out?

I think a combo of both.

Was always on the cards id say. He's 72 years old and not a picture of health you would say, Bennet is younger and hopefully have a bit more drive going forward.

Even one of your own, Jackson in the Record is asking why now? Why hasn’t the accounts been submitted? Why do you need £2m in confetti shares so badly after the increase in income over the last couple of years? As a business school graduate , I think these are definite signs of issues with cash flow and the ability to invest in players, other large expenditure perhaps around upgrading the stadium.

If I were a bluenose I woukd be demanding they come clean about what can be done. If there will be issues raising money through player movement and you have used up all the loans etc then not preparing you lot as soon as, will see nothing but an explosion of the already rolling boiling pot of fan disgruntlement will only get worse.

If we win on Saturday the pressure increases and again in the semi if we win, meltdown.

He has been a mute, apart from fighting with the SPFL over sponsorship and arguing with King. He put a lot of money in though and I think a lot of your fans believe they all should go bankrupt to save the club and regain supremacy. Easier said than done and doesn’t even say thanks for making yourself considerably poorer. It must have been a boot in the balls that after all the investment, finally winning the league with our assistance through imploding, that one man, Ange has derailed you again. You fell into the trap we did the 10 year with allowing players to run down their contracts. We still managed to sell most of ours for a few bob, that completely paid for Anges buys, you don’t have really anything to sell.

Be an interesting few weeks over by and I shall be watching closely, as will everybody interested in our game.

 

[SambaStyle]

Moved up. Just outside the top 4 now.

Laughable.

Unless you mean championship?

Samba Samba Samba, he has been in the job 1 and a half seasons and had to start from just below scratch. I know you think we are shut blah blah, but hold and wait. I am a moaning faced **** when it comes to my team. I have been in hundreds of arguments with my fellow supporters over the years who tried to paint the everything is great shit. They call me negative when I have always been honest. I called out Rogers for his total inability to sort a joke defence. Wasn’t bothered at all when he left. I have called out as shots so many of our signings in the past. Give them a chance etc, I refused because I could see they were fuckibg duds

So when I say the squad Ange has put together, and will continue to improve, is better than what I have seen in a quarter of a century. The Rangers supporting hacks up here, for they are legion, try and link him with every fucking job going to try to get him to leave, because they know their beloved pile of mediocrity will find it hard to become top dogs again with him at our helm.

They have made Beale the latest messiah, claiming he was the genius tactician behind Slippy. Whoopee do, the genius behind losing 11 out of 12 trophy’s will do me.

Of course all this is opinion, I thought we played well in most of the games in the CL and created over 80 chances, some fucking sitters. I think we will do a lot better next seasons CL. Time will tell, but, as long as we don’t wrestle the title of The Worst Club in CL history, from our pals, I won’t be reaching for an overdose.

From what I hear, the main issues are with Park and King, and can understand that to be the case as both are quite abrasive characters.

Im not going to pretend that I know all those answers, I don't think anyone does, and there's certainly questions that the board need to answer, starting with where are the accounts and why are they delayed.

I'm not going to pretend they've not got a lot wrong either, they certainly have. Like any board they won't get everything right, but there's been a worrying trend transfer wise the past couple of seasons in terms of what we are getting for our outlay.

Im not sure who was responsible last summer but that's been a bit of a disaster that set us back a fair bit, how much of that is Ross Wilson and how much of that was Gio I don't know.

On the park, Beale has started well, think we've basically matched yous for results in the league, and I'll be honest, with the work needing done I wasn't expecting him to close any gap, especially when you guys are so consistent.

Cantwell and Raskin seem good signings, and his only major mistake was not starting either in the Cup final, but hopefully he'll learn from that.

We've been crippled by injuries and the bloated squad is partly because of this. Guys like Helander, Roofe, Lawrence, Hagi have all barely played a part and just can't be relied upon.

I think the basis is there for a team that can compete, needs a few additions but also need to get the bloat out. Whether that's enough to topple you guys I'm not so sure, might need your manager to leave to help with that.

What did you think of City 7-0 Leipzig. Bare in mind you lost 2-0 to them at your gaff?

Leipzig are 5th in the Bundesliga, a league a lot worse than the PL. Yet you still think Celtic are just outside top 4 worthy with current squad?

What did you think of Madrid hammering Liverpool? City have spent billions. Wouldn’t you expect them be able to hammer them? You said it’s not a good league. Think back to when you hadn’t a pot to piss in and how long it took you to be top dogs, was it 18 months? No it wasn’t and you spent a fortune. We obviously can’t reach you or even pub clubs like Bournemouth et al because they can spend £100m a year on players. We are we’re we are and our ambitions are curtailed by a lack of resources. That’s just the way it is. You have to remember if we were in your league we would be one of the biggest clubs too. We would have money and players would come do apart from the big four down there, who we have more fans already without worldwide exposure, we would be contenders too. That is obviously never going to happen, so we just need to try and improve season on season without wasting tens of millions on players who aren’t worth the money spent on them in England.

We will probably never get even to the last 8 never mind win the CL, that’s just not possible. Us getting to the last 16 is an achievement. Give us access to similar resources that Brentford have and we would take all of you on.

Your recruitment hasn’t been good. For years we too bought a lorry load of absolutely useless cunts. Ange has changed that. I believe it’s not impossible as Ange has proved, there are great players out there, and if you can sort that out of course you will be back in the fight. A lot of the focus is on what you do in the summer. But, the biggest indicator will be, what do we do? Ange will not stand still and I would bet he has already identified players to come in. I love the way he has changed us from dithering useless pricks in the transfer market, to not hanging about and getting shit done. Then buying actual players. In the past we sign 6 players, at least four of them were utter fucking duds. That’s changed. When Rogers left, I said then that him leaving wasn’t the problem. It was Lawell staying. Once we got rid of that dithering cheapskate, bonus focused prick, we started to move forward. He’s back now, much to my dismay, but as long as he keeps out of the way, I can cope with it.

Do you think you will be able to afford Tillman? I don’t think he’s worth five million. He is as slow as a week in Airdrie. I don’t think him, Raskin or Blondie would get into our starting 11, so are they good enough to really challenge us? I don’t think so and hope you use up all your money on them. Up front you are also weak. Kent can’t be relied on and my pals are fucked off with him with his disappearing acts and it’s probably time to move him on as he is on big money and he simply doesn’t earn it. Ally called him a lightweight, and if he is on more than £20k a week you are being taken the piss out of.

All will depend on two things for you. How much you have to spend and spending it well re recruitment. Also getting rid of empty jerseys being paid money for fuck all. You have plenty of them. So, free up that money and you are right back in the game as serious contenders.

I welcome the chase.

Any lower half premier league come in for him he will do a runner like Rodgers sadly for the hype your league is simply not a challenge ..............
