So the logic of * seems to be;
I don’t support Celtic
I don’t care if Celtic win 10IAR
Therefore
Everyone who doesn’t support Celtic doesn’t care if Celtic win 10IAR
Makes perfect sense
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would they care, exactly?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not imposing my thoughts on Scottish football fans, that’s you doing that. You’re making an assertion that ALL supporters of Scottish football who don’t support Celtic don’t care if they win 10IAR. You have supported this with 1 anecdote (your own personal feelings towards it) and that is it. Do you have anything more to support your assertion?
prime Keane would have got in any team. But Kanchelskis contract pre-dated his. I can't see how he'd have been on plus 50k without bonuses before EBTs
Common talk at the time from both sides of the OF & nobody disputed
it. Most thought it funny 50k for polishing a bench.
Mind you it was in the fivers/tenners time.
Our spending was mental but I don't think we had multiple guys on more than the alleged most lucrative contract ever given in British football to that point.
Aye Miller.
Truth is probably somewhere in between.
It suited Murray sometimes to big things up.
Whilst there's no need to whip a horse that's died.
Interesting to note on that Guardian link that 5 years later Keane took a
70k per week pay cut to come to Celtic.
Wi' zero inflation he'd be paying Celtic 20k a week to play for them.
I blame inflation, journo guesswork, & vainglorious clubowners.
In reverse order.

Different contract. His 1999 extension would have taken him to 2003
Aye I did say 5 years later.
But the context could be widened.
In that year Manu were relative paupers in the epl.
In term of net spending they were 9th out of 20.
50k was small beer for the rest.
Even in the year Keane arrived here Manu were 8th biggest spenders.

And Rangers had been competing successfully with top epl for players.

Cannae whack a bit of revisionism.
And a very good evening to you Sir!
You seem to dispute the 50k.
Tell ye what - you stay where you are & I'll come down to you.
Can you prove it wasn't 50k?
Do you think it was more?
