What's he going to say exactly? We got Craig Gordon for nothing and a 5 month loan deal for Berget . Hardly going to break the bank with that investment, eh?

I just asked a simple question. You said confidently that last summer Celtic, as always, spend 100% of what we take in on player recruitment. So in the case of last summer, surely you can outline how the acquisitions of Van Dijk, Mouyokolo, Biton, Boerrigter, Pukki and Balde was as much spent as we received for Wanyama, Hooper, Wilson, Rogne, McCourt and Murphy. If we're not sitting on a pile of money, the above can surely be accounted for, no? |

He's keeping his powder dry for the AGM. He's got a few jokes about the huns up his sleeve for that one. |

If money is tight, should the CEO not be reviewing how we are spending the decent amount of money that we are taking in. We seem to be currently spending a huge wedge on players at youth and senior level who contribute nothing more than making up the numbers. And surely a CEO should be reviewing a scouting structure that has brought us such gems as Boerrigter, Balde and Bangura? |

Surely the players who left have their salary transfered to the incoming players, thus the difference in transfer money recieved and transfer money spent should result in a healthy surplus? |

Have any of our players received monumental wage increases in the past year? So you're admitted we've spent far less on signing players than we do for players leaving. So you're saying the net profit we've accumulated on the sales of Hooper, Wanyama, Wilson et al have gone on massive wage increases and the academy? Do you seriously believe that? |

Bang on! A lot of fans don't have the appetite for it anymore. ![]() We were in a position of health both on and off the park. Build on that and we had aspirations on the European arena. Failure to build on that has left fans disenfranchised and a team on the pitch bereft of real quality. (Forster and VvD the obvious exceptions) Ps, some of the glory hunters had been attending CP through the nineties, myself (from the mid eighties) included.. Just so happened to still be attending when O'Neils team came along. Even Neil Lennon has stated part of the reason he left was due to the downsizing. It's not just the fans that are a bit sick of it. |

Since Lennon became manager: Player sales: ~£49 million European prize money: ~£36 million Player purchases: ~£29 million It's absolutely taking the piss. Edited by pauldg1, 31 Jul 2014, 09:24 PM.

When we were £20m in debt and haemorrhaging money on massive wages most fans supported the board bringing down the debt to a manageable level.Now we have little or no debt it is quite acceptable to speculate to accumulate within reasonable levels.Ironically by not doing this it could cost us £20M in the champions league this season and also affect our coefficient in Europe which will might mean in the future we are not seeded in the C.L. qualifiers which would make it difficult to qualify even if we have a decent team.Some Celtic fans have told me we don't need to spend because we will win the league anyway but surely we should try to improve our team within our financial restraints and not let the quality of our opposition bring us down to their standard? |

it doesnt have to be wage increases (although theres been a few). its covering the wages, running costs and money lost through lack of ticket sales. im not sure what you are getting at here. where is it you think the money is going? Edited by Zurawski 7, 31 Jul 2014, 09:32 PM.

Don't want to hijack your post mate as it's a great stand alone reference. Check the top 20 in this list. We are 16th (allegedly), how many of those teams have a playing squad as poor as ours? Down the list to the top 40 and minus the huns, there are still very few teams who average so many supporters with a team as lacking as ours. Taken for a ride? You bet we are. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_attendances_of_European_football_clubs Edited by nakasboots, 31 Jul 2014, 09:35 PM.

i think the wages are far too high for very average players (some not even average). the worst point is it seems we need to pay these players more than their worth to get them to even consider joining us. its a no win situation and i have no idea what the solution. i dont think the board have many answers either i can see the thinking behind getting a highly rated coach who is all for developing young players but he still needs backing from the board which doesnt seem to be available.
