You never put in the guaranteed ST money within them figures and long ago stated that a 50m budget is sustainable for a club of our size to maintain and be able to grow from.
We have seriously lacked ambition to do so and can only assume it is for the benefit of serco scum and not of our supporters which I will claim as an act of treason made by our board of current
Oh I did
those figures are my estimates with all income included.
But im happy to change them based on better estimates.
Our operating costs each season are usually over 75Million
More if we reach CL
roughly 90M
So with our current set up we make around 10 million profit if we reach CL
not much room to gamble with on better upgrades.
if we dont reach CL we break even on our current set up, in a normal season without covid.
if we fuck up and win jack we lose around 35 Million that season based on historic operating costs
throw in covid and the incomes are really hammered but the operating costs like Pauli say Feck you Pay me.
So in our set up currently we need to sell players on our top end wages who are being offered more elsewhere.
replacing that high grade player with unknown quantity often costs fortune and doesnt guarantee he any good for us.
So our current set up is right on the edge of break even in good season
But in bad season we are likely to incur heavy losses
not much upside for growth
lot of danger if we make a few bad signings
But feck it
most big league clubs get more from tv deals than we get as top end income
And that seriously hampers the market we can buy from, which further increases risks
But in that crazy market we won 9 in a row
But coz we are right on edge of break even every season we cant grow.
But still there must be a better way
Surely they tory rats are scamming us
We should be capable of competing with clubs who earn 200M every season as low end estimate
And surely we should be able to play flamboyant attacking football just coz we are Celtic
