If it's 'well established' that Celtic are 'flush with cash' why is it even worth commenting on at all, far less on a regular basis.?

Although you will no doubt deny it, you're doing it to suggest that the picture is less rosy than it seems. Probably for the same reasons that the vile Keith Jackson put our this morning.

That stuff will not kill Celtic. Nowhere near it. There will be no case in America. Dream on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

You are flip flopping all over the place man.

First I dont know what celtics financial situation is then when I point out what everybody already knows - which is celtic have loads in the bank then that is supposedly a reason to not mention it? Eh?

Celtics financial advantage over Rangers is huge. It is absolutely relevant to recent transfer window and the current title race.

And that is exactly what I am talking about. No court case conspiracy theories. Look at my history on here - I am not one for going there.

I have no idea what you are talking about wrt the Keith Jackson interview.

You are trying to guess hidden meanings in things I have written and missed completely.

I am interested in the football. Rangers have unexpectedly undergone a mini resurgence under Phil (one of the best cases of new manager bounce ever it seems) and Celtic have bizarrely decided not to strengthen areas they really needed to strengthen.

And theres a £60m CL pot at stake.

Seems a fairly fruitful set of circumstances for a discussion on a football forum?

Certainly the most interesting league we have had in a while.

he makes up $hit all the time. plenty of past examples of it.

Just leave it chief and move on.

there is a good feeling around our team at the moment, we have the momentum, I think we have the more favourable fixtures even with europe still.

ignore him.

So the CL pot is £60m now is it… How does that compare

I have been Hamish for many many years.

Easily covering the recent court cases that you are alluding to.

So you have more than enough to go on and you know it.

Supposedly its up to £60m because of an expanded format next season?

Dont know the details but heard/seen that quoted a good few times.

Would imagine its "up to" £60m, prob a figure neither of us will see but it will be an increase to previous years.

Aye. Didnt mean to hang my hat on £60 000000.00

Point is its significantly more money next season for whoever win the league this year.

That was all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------na i didnt think you did, you said "up to 60m" so I was in agreement with you bud.

I seen someone comment the Aberdeen side is dross.

I genuinely think they've got some good players and are well below the position they should be in with that squad. 3rd best squad in the country imo.

Warnock will be entertaining and he should get the best out of them. I do think if the dressing room is full of softies it could go sour pretty quick though.

Very poor performance on Saturday

Rodgers is starting to do my head in with his starting XI and his subs

I mean Abada ...after that Ross County game ..really ?

Ralston for Bernabei...I'm not sure what that would resolve..infact things just got worse when he came on
Completely abandoned his left back position and just didn't have a clue

And...MoR ... pash past two games .

However I don't know if this group realise you need to win in every game . The urgency at 1-1 was ridiculous

What about AJ ...a minute yo go and he takes 40 secs of that for a throw in

Things need to change ...we sorely miss Hatate

Does the CL pot matter that much to Celtic. They seem to spend about 20/25m most seasons but it's just maintenance signings. Nobody is being brought into kick them on a level.

Different story for us, we need it a lot more and it allows us to get quality players in.

If you gave Clement and Rodgers 25m each to sign players in the summer, even most Celtic fans would probably fancy Clement to spend it better.

of course its important to celtic even if at a minimum to reduce our income and hinder us.

Winning the league could be transformative for us.

It all depends how you spend the money though.

Phil seems to be getting a lot right so far so if his recruitment turns out to be decent then we could really kick on.

It will matter to us now, so should matter to them. Would’ve made no difference to us last few years, we’d have made less if we’d been in CL every year most likely given our coefficient would’ve been pash and that impacts the cash.

Now we’ll have a good ten year coefficient and with CL money supposedly going up will be massive for us

Celtic have spent double what we have over last few years. That said what we’ve spent cash on has been mostly pash too

That’s it then Neil Warnock in till end of the season

Both, given he has tissue paper calves. Barely featured all season … not expecting that to change.

yeah seems to be a recurring issue, is that his 3rd or 4th consecutive calf injury? is it the same calf he keeps doing?

The Bernabei then Ralston on his wrong side farce just summed up our pathetic efforts in the Jan window. We clearly recognised we needed a LB, even before Taylor got crocked … and made a lame late attempt to get Owen Beck. Where were plans B, C and D when that fell through the moment Klopp brought him on as a late sub? Just nothing. It really is shocking just how badly we’re run. Absolute amateurs … complacent, grippy amateurs.

We will take any advantage we can get so we need to make it count with Hetate and CCV out.

We are down to only 6 first team options injured now (Balogoun, Davies, Dowell, Sima, Roofe, Danilo) so things are looking up.

You expect 2 or 3 injuries at any one time but this season has been spectacular for us.

Clement has ben rotating our squad perfectly since he came in, is another thing he deserves praise for. tinkering and tweaking the team in almost every game.

I think he is just milking it now !!

Nice to see the bears getting giddy again.

In so saying, we’ve some amount of entitled fuds who think the possibility of losing a league is somehow a disaster of epic propositions. It’s not.
