Samule: Desmond was part of the Come Dine with Me group Dave set up pre No10 as per C4 Despatches Corky: Lawwell (or whoever would replace him as Chief Exec) is financially rewarded by meeting targets that in turn might be detrimental to football operations, yup? Without putting anyone in an awkward position could you give us a bit more info about what your alluding to there? |

Add Ledley and Hooper to the team that played the other night and we suddenly look a different proposition. Both these players wanted to stay but we didnt give them the cash. The board need to understand that sometimes you do need to speculate to accumulate. These players are as far from a financial gamble as you could get. They gave you guaranteed goals (hooper) and strength and stability in the middle (Ledley). Even if these guys were asking for an extra 10k a week each, qualification to the Champions League would more than make up for that. I have no issue with selling players like Wanyama and Forster as they genuinely want to leave, but the ones who would have stayed are the ones that the board need to take the blame for. |

This. What also galled me about the sale of guys like Hooper, Ledley, Forster, et al was the fact that they were young and learning their trade under Lennon who was a relatively inexperienced manager himself. I had a season ticket in 2010 and he brought all of these guys in as his team after he'd been given the gig. A lot of folk, myself included, really connected with the side in 2010/11 because they were so good to watch. As they learned from their mistakes and grew from strength to strength, with 2012/13 being the peak with the wins over Barcelona and Spartak, I think people were really in step with the team and the manager. It was a young bunch of players managed by a management staff learning their own trade and we were with them for the journey. To an extent this was always going to happen as good players are inevitably destined for bigger leagues than the Scottish Premiership but I just can't help but feel that the arse of that team was completely ripped out unnecessarily when we actually had something damn good. |

I was basically given chapter and verse by someone (more than 5 years ago) about how we went about our business that summer - 2008. I know that on a number of deals - PL has continued in the same vein. I have no idea if such a strategy was determined by PL's bonus as I have not seen and have no idea as to the fine print of his contract. In all honesty, I suspect its just PL making a dog's dinner of it |

I wonder just how much (or little) these players were looking for in order for them to stay. In Hooper's case it couldn't be as much as Balde, Pukki and Grifftiths' wages combined |

I don't think Celtic TV are doing PL any favours by cutting in highlight scenes of the last 10-15 years into the interview

Lawwell looks a bit rough in that video He peddles some amount of pish in that interview. Mulgrew a champions league standard player . Trying to justify these loan signings too.
