A duds a dud. Quite often you can tell after a game or two, sometimes even less so what the hell made someone think that balde, bangura etc could ever be celtic class and end up being sold on for 3 or 4 times the purchase price. We'd have been as well not bothering than signing some of the 'strikers' of the last few seasons. Edited by Willie Wonka, 3 Aug 2014, 08:56 PM.

In the end we got past Karagandy and Elfsborg, and the top Polish teams would be expected to give you a match, especially to a Celtic team under a new manager You are right that we should normally get past these sides as we have better resources, but the ability of SKY monies in the EPL to unsettle our team is growing. Our defence is wanted by Southampton, Burnley and Swansea - they can pay wages we can only dream about. And we are in competition with the EPL in transfers, we can target a player only for an EPL team to steal him away with double our wages. How many young fans in Ireland and Scotland will pick an EPL team to support over the likes of Celtic because of the glamourised EPL and the cream of the world's players that perform there - we are losing the support of younger fans We will also compete directly with EPL (and money rich Spanish clubs) in Europe - where the growing money gap will be played out in the field and where we could take a pounding from an Arsenal, Liverpool or even a Spurs team full of the best players in the world. |

I think you will find that these clubs can only have 25 players in their 1st team squad. Take out the top 6 clubs in the EPL who will be signing the really expensive ones, and you are left with a host of clubs who can offer either lots of money and no hope of success, or lots of money and a relegation battle. There are plenty of players out there, its just a case of finding them, and not being so effing amateurish when we do try and offer them a deal. |

Spot on about misuse of resources, we have a head of youth who has a bigger budget than first team scouting. McCart is buying kids from other SPFL clubs coz he can't be bothered to scout them in the first place. Lazy 'we've got most money' mentality. Then these boys are getting binned with zero accountability. Boys not good enough are getting played coz McCart spent money on them ahead of decent boys. Our whole youth system isn't working. The measure of youth set up is how many boys make the first team not how many trophies the youths win. That just proves we have best team not individuals. We've won almost everything but where are the players? Loads were sent out on loan & struggled to even get a game. (McGregor apart). Coaches are thinking they must win or they'll get binned & are filling the academies with big strong players instead of ball players. Andy Robertson case in point. Dumped for being too small , a few year later he's an international & heading to EPL for near £3M. If board are serious about being a top european side they should start at Lennoxtown & bring in people who can bring through technical players. I'd start with trying to keep McStay here when he's over. If Ajax can do it so can Celtic. Might take a few years but fans will buy into it |

No time at the moment to go through that, but that's pretty much the last decade. The drop off in debt from 05 to 06 was mainly due to the last share issue. |

One of the guys in my S.I.L.s work is just back from Tennerife. It seems CATB were doing a gig there and wee Bertie was there as well, according to Bertie, NL was advised to resign or be sacked because he asked the board for more money and to bring back Big Dolph and pay him the going rate. |

I didn't blame Lenny for walking. He had taken the club as far as he could with the current squad. He needed far more money to build a new team. PL was never going to give the money to Lennon. Result - he quits. We then get a cheap replacement who is happy to work on a shoestring budget. |

Assuming this is true, I'm utterly baffled as to why Lennon resigned in silence. |

Would he not have some period of confidentiality? He's only recently mentioned the lack of funds as being a reason for leaving. Could be wrong of course. |

Is it really as simple as the board are stockpiling monies now, and will go on a huge spending spree next summer to make sure we win the league? And it's pointless to pay them all an extra year's wages for what will be a sure title win this season? |

No chance the board will ever stockpile money for anyone. 2008/09 a clear case in point. |

Cheers CB, so along with the news above (if true) of record T/O this year, hard to imagine costs have risen (?) we should have money in the bank, as well as the ability to dip a little into the red if required. There's no other hidden stuff like long term loans not needing repaid yet or stuff like that? It's absolutely the case we should have money to spend on new players. It is starting to like like some carrot is at it.

How much more funds did Lennon want in order to beat Morton? Spent 11m last year and only 1 of them is any good, another isn't bad. |
