If kieran Tierney turns down 85k a week to play football somebody needs to have a strong word with him let's be honest. There isn't 1 person in the world who isn't going to a new job for 4 times their current salary.

If he can get it fair play, hope he goes and enjoys himself and when he's 36 comes and buys a season ticket and joins the rest of us in the stands.

A normal person doing a normal job being offered 4 times their salary can't really be compared to this situation.

His salary is already massive and he can afford to do whatever he wants and his job is to play for Celtic and in future his job would be to captain Cetlic. He is a Celtic fan who grew up wanting to play for and captain a successful Celtic team. Like we all did. Except he's actually doing it.

I'm 100% certain if I was in his position I wouldn't be giving it up for Everton.
Ha! You’ve no idea what you would do in that situation. Or at a previous point in your life have you been offered £80k a week to move job?

You can’t live the same life on £2m a year that you can on £5m a year, especially when you can only earn that money for about 10 years of your life.

You’re right about one think though - playing for Celtic is his job, and just like any other employee at any other business in the world, he’ll go work for someone else who is willing to more than double his salary. The idea that Tierney would turn that down cos he loves Celtic is romantic pish.

I’ve no ill feelings towards him at all, btw.
No I've never been offered 80k a week but I've never been offered what he's currently getting either. If I had the chance to stay at Celtic with the opportunities that would give to be captain, win 10 in a row and everything else then I wouldn't be looking to move anywhere else.

I can absolutely guarantee I'd be quite satisfied with my life if I was on 2m a year, its an effin obscene amount of money.

Can we please put the short careers mince to bed, its no the 60's in the old First Division. Tierney, like most modern top level footballers will get a comfortable gig as a pundit/columnist/non playing staff member/speaker when he retires from playing.

i dont even think kt knows himself what hes doing

We're seemingly in limbo defensively until it's sorted out.
Didn’t realise you were one of the ITK guys.

What a joke the club putting every defensive position on hold until KT makes his mind up ;)
Well, I'm not.

We've sort of been in defensive limbo for five windows in a row, so I suppose it's nothing really to do with KT.

It's no really pish. What percentage of professional football players earn the same money as pundits/coaches etc that they did as players?

Fitba players are almost constantly moving clubs to get more money, even though the money they're already earning is "effing obscene". What makes you think Tierney should/would be any different? Please don't say it's cos he loves Celtic.

You could listen to Tierney himself rather than folk on the internet.

"I’m enjoying my career here; I’ve just signed a six-year deal, so if that doesn’t say long term, I don’t know what does"
Come on to eff.

These quotes are from months ago. Things change daily.
Aye, alright, I'll leave you to your internet angst then :lol:

Would you, why? Is stockpiling cash your primary motivation in life?

Because 2m a year is more than enough to live a very comfortable live style while playing for the club you love.

Don't know why folk are getting pissy on here at the hypothetical situation where KT leaves.

He's never done anything but give his all, and if he's going to set his family up for life with the money he receives, and play in a better quality league, fair effs to him. We'll be handsomely rewarded for it too.

We might not be able to replace who he is, but we can get another good left back to mitigate the loss that won't be too detrimental to the team as a whole, particularly if we can strengthen other areas.

Seeing how quickly fans turn on players, often over nothing, it’s hard to take the calls for players to show some unending loyalty that seriously.

I hope KT doesn’t leave and I don’t think he will, but the idea that he owes us his loyalty when so many are calling him for everything over speculation is pretty laughable especially when the idea that if he’s just a ‘badge kisser’ - not like us good, real Celtic fans who’d play for free forever and turn our nose up at any offer seems to be increasing. Idk, I think if I were a footballer I’d jump ship too - there is no long term way to win with football supporters. You can do everything right including signing extended contracts to make sure you & the club are protected and still get it in the ear as though you’d walked away for free.

If he leaves I doubt Celtic will be reluctant partners to it anyway. I don’t think he will though, but I imagine the whole experience has been pretty eye opening to a lot of people.

Has Kieran got himself a wummin? That's usually where the trouble starts... :ph43r:

The problem with guys ITK is they are not inside wee Kieran's heid.

I hope he stays for a good few years but if the silly figures being thrown about are true then I doubt there would be very many people on here who would knock it back.

One way or another I hope it's resolved soon.

He's no Mo Johnston or Charlie Nicholas, he is a decent young guy who loves Celtic as much as anyone on here.


If he leaves at such a young age he’ll be exactly like Charlie Nicholas though if he becomes a pundit after his playing career I would hope he wouldn’t be like Charlie Nicholas.

Footballers, like any carrot, want to have the best lifestyle they possibly can. If they see other players, often with less talent, making more money then it's natural they will consider their options. No one is arguing that KT isn't already making a great living but everything is relative.

If he goes for more money then fair play to him. I won't be accusing him of greed should he make that decision.

You're head of marketing at Celtic on 50k a year, a big Celtic fan and very happy in your job.

You're head-hunted for the same job at Everton on 200k.

Aye, there might be other players with less talent and more money. However if your saying he might look obviously at their lifestyle....well personally I wouldn't trade any of that extra lifestyle if i was already a millionaire future captain of Celtic winning 10 in a row.

Everton may give him more money but for me that's not a better lifestyle than what he already has and will have in next few years at Celtic.

I would argue that the difference in lifestyle between 50k and 200k would be felt a lot more than say 1 million to 4 million. There's a certain threshold you cross when it really doesn't make a huge difference.

Not saying Tierney is necessarily wrong to take the money. But it is weird if he goes right now, right on the cusp of the home stretch of the ten. As if somehow the thought of a possible move to England for megabucks had never crossed his mind before he signed the new deal and this has all just caught him off guard.

If he can get it fair play, hope he goes and enjoys himself and when he's 36 comes and buys a season ticket and joins the rest of us in the stands.

Not forgetting it wouldn't be a large salary to go and play in China the middle East.

Tierney would be earning a very high salary while also playing in one of Europe's top league's which will only see him get better.

Not really the same. I doubt many guys go through school trying to fulfil their ambition of working in the Celtic marketing team, or being the guy that gets to throw patter about on the Celtic Twitter page.
