I agree there is no contingency, that damning for an overly paid CEO.
Sell the players who want away and you have £50m+ even at reduced values they are now worth.
Massive changes were going to be required in the summer irrespective of winning the league or not, are we saying there is no finances in place to fund the step change?
How much more will bringing any plans (no laughing) forward by 6 months?
How much will it cost if they carry on with their head in the sand act and we don't win the league? Season tickets will plummet as will merchandise sales, sponsorship etc.
Complacency was always going to end the run of success, we just didn't think that consequences of that complacency would occur when we were on the edge of history.
The saddest thing is that isn't a surprise.
Celtic don't kick on from a position strength, they feck it up.
So let me get this right
we will get 50 million for want away players not cutting it at Celtic?
that isn't very likely in a pandemic.
And even less likely if they down tools in important season as you are suggesting.
50 million
lets say we get 50 million
what manager wants 50 million to buy proper players with the wage limitations that are imposed by not being in sky funded cabal?
because without that extra funding we cant even afford our current wages???
what better players are available in contingency for less than blokes at our club on modest market wages?
would they really want to come play in scotland for less than top tier market wages?
They took gamble and risked massive chunk, much more than sevco
where didn't they push for better?
And how do they fund that better.
And the low crowds if they dont hamper clubs future by running at monster losses even with cl
we would not make big profit with current players even if we reached CL
So they did go overboard
80 million operating costs is 30 million+ over safety first approach
Any more than that is guaranteed suuicide
What better contingency can you make when your running at break even as expected return?
you will be deserting the club if they dont kick on
sounds like sevco propaganda machine is still got its grip on celtic minded fans
they die and still get 40k fans for new club
we abandon the club, if hierarchy dont compete with teams who get 100 million from tv more than us at least before a ball is kicked.
there is no evidense that I can see that club did not try to compete
but still you call them skinflints with nearly double "their" on book operating costs
