As usual, a thoughtful and informative post by Barcabhoy. He's made it on TSFM. Unfortunately I can't get a link for the post itself, but it's currently the last one on the current blog. Maybe someone can help and post it for others, please.

:thumbsup: in anticipation.

Edit spelling. And add- hope this works

And that would be why ( much as it may have annoyed us at times) we should be grateful for Fergus onwards who kept the spending under control and built a sustainable organization.
Absolutely. I see it like this. The Huns are like someone who won big money on the lottery and quit their job and studies on the back of it. Bought a huge mansion, loads of fancy cars and pointless bling.

Meanwhile, Celtic stuck in and, over time, have become hugely successful independently to the point where they could have all of the same stuff as the Huns but actually afford it.

Now that the Huns have spent all the lotto money, had to pawn the cars and 5e bling and remortgage the house with a local loan shark because none of the banks will touch them, they are crying out about the unfairness of it all. They think that Celtic’s success is the same as their success, built on sand.

Problem is, we can actually afford this because we built from the ground up, losing leagues along the way but always advised to trust in the long term project. Their answer? Buy more lottery tickets.
I've been saying all this to them for ages.
Extras to consider. In the event they do win a league out the blue, they'd have four unseeded rounds to get into the champions league. The chances of that are remote. So if they win the odd league, it would be difficult to sustain as we would be favourites with our half decent coefficient to make the Europa group stages.
Also worth considering in the last 11 years we've signed 30 strikers alone which have included the likes of Pukki and Bangura. No recruitment process is perfect so the £60million doesn't take into account signings that are failures(I realise the post says no guarantee of success).
It's daft to say they'll never win another league, but it'll be a long long time before they have a sustained period of success unless we make an absolute pigs ear of it or they knuckle down and play it sensibly. Thankfully, neither look likely.

Even Kris Boyd can see what rangers get up to every season, “You could start writing the headlines again at the same time next year. As soon as the season tickets go on sale there are headlines to be made".

b]Risky deal Rangers can’t take a gamble on Steven Gerrard… it’s not a club where an untried boss can serve an apprenticeship says Kris Boyd[/b]
The ex-Gers striker insists his old club need to stop chopping and changing bosses and players if they ever want to challenge Celtic again

M’good man Ned Rise of this parish theorised after Sunday’s pumping that a plausible source of the kind of mega bucks they need would be an overseas criminal enterprise needing to wash dirty money. King is a convicted money launderer, fraudster, conman and all-round, cock-eyed crimnal bawsack: in a previous crisis he rustled up so many £m’s ‘overnight, with just one phone call to Hong Kong’, the details of which remain shrouded in secrecy, and his pursuit of Gerrard - complete with war chest - is not supported by his fellow directors, who are not convicted money launderers.

Just sayin, is all... :hmmm:
The only flaw with this analysis is that for a money laundering scheme to make sense, a large percentage of it has to emerge clean on the other side. Charles Green did not build a washing machine, he built an incinerator! :lol:

The huns cling to the Fergus analogy like a barnacle to a rotting hull but, as Barcabhoy has pointed out, the situations (and the individuals who got involved) are completely different. They are fecked for the foreseeable. :)

With the Sevvies hovering somewhere between stage 4 (depression) and 5 (acceptance) on the Kubler Ross model, I wonder how long it will be before some more radical thinking is deployed to stop Declan lording it over ra peepul.

Something like gate sharing to make the league “more competitive”. I can almost read that Keef Jackson column already.

You get the graft for the day started and deal with a few problems and then nick on to kds and see a lovely short sentence like "They are fecked for the foreseeable"^^^^ - Amazing how six words can rapidly set the tone of your day to be a good one. :) :rocker:

I still long for the day we have "They are fecked and gone completely" but for now on with the craic and hilarity that is the zombie circus. :lolhuns:

Stoke, WBA, Southampton, West Ham, Leicester, Swansea, Palace, and Watford have all in the past 12 months been after a new manager. Every single one of them could have rewarded him 4x what sevco could and given him a transfer budget in the tens of millions. And that’s just the EPL.

That Gerard hasn’t even been in the rumour-mill for any of them demonstrates a lot.

He is simply not rated as a potential manager.

People are suggesting Ipswich as a possible destination. Again, there do not appear to be any rumours. Why? If he was such hot property, somebody down here would be courting him now to make sure they didn’t misss out.

There is a reason Ferdinand, Shearer, Gerard, etc are in punditry and not in management. One is what I call Hoddle Syndrome. Another is what I call Hawking Syndrome. Another is ego.

I had my doubts yesterday as he’d not said anything. I now think he’ll take it purely out of ego. And he’ll be back south before Christmas.

Not a surprise, but I cannot wait for the next development.
King being backed into a corner now, and time is running out.
I reckon he will fake his own death, and come back as his identical twin brother, who claims all the insurance.

Yesterday’s hearing was for Interdict and was suggested elsewhere that this was a move to prevent any share sales or purchases until the compliant offer was made - I guess that would stop Glib from getting out of dodge and disappearing over the horizon

With the price of a ticket you could buy two of the old club.
