ok
sounds great
but those terms suggest he might be worth taking massive gambles and ratcheting up debts
cause he would get his money back anyway
But he doesnt
so when celtic make bumper returns he gets 3.8 percent either way
So no real incentive to horde the cash either
but if he loves celtic
he will be hiring the best net present value investors he can find.
NPV
what's that
its a risk metric to decide if an investment is a risk worth taking
does it cost more than it returns
And over his tenure Lawell has been brilliant NPV analyst
despite his many flaws and I detest his face when I see it, he makes good NPV calls
football market is in bubble mode.
So really most investments are instantly npv negative.
but if bubble continues you can get your money back when next dude pays over the odds in hope bubble continues
but like the famous bubbles in past
when they burst and they always do the people in control of bursting bubble all get off the bubble just in time and everybody else collapses.
Now these are just tip of iceberg hidden problems but they are very very real.
Sorry TET but as much as I appreciate your views and opinions there is far too much negativity surrounding them.
When opinions or views are expressed you will bombard them with untold questions and far to much conspiracy theories as to why they can't or wouldn't work, and yet no answers to solving the problems within the club that is so close to our heart.
Of course none of us are in a position to make these decisions regarding the future of the club and yet we have no voice whatsoever in which direction the club are currently heading when so many things are wrong to fulfill the success we crave within the European competitions, dominating the Scottish competitions is great for our history but we will hold all the records for domestic honours in a few years time regardless of serco, newco or oldco or whatever title you give them scum bastards.
We all long to getting back to been a challenge in Europe and this current set up of PL and lenny, imo will not be possible all the time they have control of the footballing side of the club, the side that means the most to the supporters.
So how can we expect change all the while we have no say in the decision process?
I do believe strongly that the business plan of our club, especially this season of all seasons has been about the survival of the scum more so than our dreams of the 10, hence the anger within the support.
That as a business plan was never going to be accepted by our support and as far as many of us are concerned people have to be held accountable as it is seen as an act of tresion for which the biggest scapegoat will be PL and for one he will always be possibly be remembered for.
As a club i struggle to see how we can move forward with PL pulling the strings and the shortcomings of lenny as a manager and a backroom staff who seem to be very limited in delivering the success we crave within Europe.
Of course a much business plan is desperately needed imo, and I do believe a proper director of football is needed along with a more modern manager who can prepare our team far better out on the training pitch along with good coaching staff has become essential now.
I also believe a director of football can operate with as a guess a 50m budget per season allowing to cover wages.
We already have at least that budget available with the sales of the want away players.
This in turn would reduce the wage bill and along with the overpaid loan signings who have been a disaster and bought no value for money and at a guess much discontent within the changing room.
Lennys biggest shortfall has been his reluctance of giving youth a chance over experience. We have seen this in the signings of Ajeti and Barkas as just having international experience does not mean that you have the right temperment to cut it at Celtic or even in Scottish football.
We still have currently great young 1st team players who will possibly move on to bigger incomes in time as you are right we can't compete with the money on offer down but then for so many of them just staying in the EPL is success where for us been involved in European competition and a guarantee of been involved in domestic honours in front of the best supporters in world football. I do believe that the right director of football can make us an easy sell in order to further there careers.
We also have to sustain a level of stability in regards not every player has to be looked upon as having a sell on value as there are many players available who making a move to celtic would be there biggest career move and these players need to be identified better within our scouting network again overseen by director of football.
We are blessed to still have much great potential young players available for which can be integrated into the 1st team set up and with far better coaching and opportunities given will always keep the conveyer belt moving in potential players sales, we already have possibilitiey 50m plus on frimps, Turnbull and Soro as of current.
We can't ignore the conveyer belt of young talent as this is such a lifeline to the club when you can't compete with the money on offer down south.
I still believe PL has not fought for the right of us having a 2nd team available playing at championship level as they are more than good enough to hold there own. I do believe it may be a role Scott brown could fill as any bullying some of these hammer throwers want to dish out would they be as brave with less cameras around and a tunnel to see how brave the bully was?
Are we entitled to have a second team available in Scotland? Of course we are as we have produced more players with celtic connections than any other and will always remain so for the foreseeable future and give a much needed financial aid to lower clubs, and better development opportunities for our younger players and with only a gate of maybe 5 to 10k would pay for itself with a potential profit.
I am disappointed in PL for not looking into this venture and persuing it at all as it seems a no brainer to me.
Although I am glad the foundations of the club are still in place just now, and will give credit to PL and lenny in doing so, I also believe that the pair of them are not capable of building on the foundations that are in place.
So TET these are only my own personal opinions but before you bombard we with untold questions about why you don't think that they are possible and maybe your own opinions on solutions would be more welcome than that of conspiracy around secret tax havens and accounts for which many of us have no interest in whatever.
Sorry for such a long post as far to many questions asked without a chance to debate
