I felt sorry for the wee lad the other night who had planned to batter out a Champions League e-mail at 9:45. Celtic should 'go retro' and invest in the squad. |

With the CL we'd have sold out with the EL not so, unless we get a decent-ish draw and even then. Thursday/Sunday doesn't suit me for starters. |

I want to see the club stop buying cheap rubbish. A long list on never hasbeens over the last few years with the odd exception. Surely instead of 3 players at £1.5 million we could get so m done at £3 million on a decent wage The Lawwell model needs a bit of out of the box thinking at times. A project manager buying project players is m o 're of a gamble than the occasional bit of quality. I gave my season ticket met up a few years ago as I wasn't enjoying it anymore, nothing to do with the huns, all to do with how I feel about the way we are being run. |

The question is, how will the board react, if at all, to this defeat. I suspect they will do exactly as they have done for years and just brass it out. VVD will just about balance the books, there wont be any budget other than what we gain from selling. But this defeat is a massive blow for us, not only financially but in terms of who we could attract. The fact it is the second (or third) time in just over a year we have went out with a whimper against moderate opposition. It's clear that we need a change of policy, but we have just pissed any chance of doing that up against a wall. The CL prize money is bigger this year, 5m Euros for a win iirc. Our only real hope is to get into the groups somehow, and target third place and hopefully pick up a few wins, that would be a huge boost to us. To do that we really need an investment of money similar in principle to when MON was brought in, but eff knows where it will come from. |

Yes sorry - 1.5m - 5m for the last 16 ![]() Thought it had went up - but anyway its a significant amount for us and the only significant revenue stream open to us at the moment. Edited by Ess, 27 Aug 2015, 06:52 PM.

Are you forgetting about the "sell our best players to a team in the English Premier League" revenue stream? That has been the biggest trigger for Lawwell getting his bonus recently. Even - on the rare occasion when we do qualify for the CL group stages - only once in the past 3 years, he still sold the backbone of the team in Wilson, Wanyama and Hooper from the successful CL campaign, from the season before. |

I don't think that's true - the most it has done is trigger an extra payment on top of his bonus. His bonus doesn't appear to be linked to any performance indicator that I can see - which means it isn't actually a bonus at all. Why his salary is done like that - I have no idea. |

Not sure where to start with this. I agree a season ticket makes no economical sense but I recall someone once called it our Celtic tax. Yes, I will miss games. Yes, I might want us to spend our money in a different way but if we all went down this route then we might long for the golden days of Ciftci. How else could the club budget effectively? |

If we're sitting with 20k seasons at the end of July do you really think PL will spend? More likely a bigger clear out would follow. Getting the money in early allows budgeting for the whole season. The problem isn't what we spend its what we spend it on. We can't scout a striker for love or money and if 2.5m got you a Virgil 2 years ago, it will take more this year which means the selling price has to reflect that. Like it or not the sales subsidise the wage bill, spending all of the VVD money on transfers AND adding to the wage bill won't happen. Edited by Willie Wonka, 27 Aug 2015, 07:51 PM.

I wish that Celtic would take advantage of the fact that there are hundreds of very good to excellent players playing in Uruguay and Argentina who play there while owning passports for playing in the EU. The initial fee for these players would be well within Celtics current budget and wages would also be no problem. A Celtic hard to beat in Europe with fast fit strong players who have many skills would surely be the result if we switched to a South American style of play with flair to the fore. |

Bonuses are usually a very good way of not paying the same level of tax you'd pay on a similar salaried amount. |
