I'm a confirmed board apologist, but that doesn't mean that I don't have some axes to grind.
I can't pretend to understand the business world, but I think our board have to be careful not to understand the emotional and human aspect of players like Kieran Tierney.
Every Celtic fan is living their dream vicariously through this impressive young man.
If he is ever perceived as a "commodity" then that's when my apologising and goodwill ends.
He is not an asset, he is the personification of our Club and should not be regarded as anything other than a symbol of who we are and what we represent.
If the day comes when KT decides to move on to pastures new, then it should be solely on his terms and conditions. Not on the requirements of a financial audit.
same here TvIf they treated him like a commodity and sold him on to fill a hole in finances, due to not tooling up for the CL I am odds on to get sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
leave ma Stella's alone yooz!To far SP. Have you been into MDs Stella?!?!
That's ma line m8??????Underestimate not understand......fuckin fones lol
The club won't thoughIf they offered £30m I would tell them to fuck off. Never mind £15m.
The players we have sold for significant profit in recent years haven't been raised or steeped in the history and tradition of Celtic.I think he stays. When you look at it, you get to a point where the numbers become pretty meaningless.
Celtic is in KT's DNA. He was raised on Celtic, came up through the Celtic system, lives the dream of every Celtic fan (as mentioned earlier -- thanks, SP!), and if all current indications bear fruit he is slated to become a Celtic legend, a football god who will take his place among the pantheon of Celtic greats.
KT is smart enough to get that.
My hope is that the board does, too.
I was paying my own personal tributeThat's ma line m8??????
Get what youre saying SP but unfortunately every player has a price.I hope we get another 2 seasons out him at least but i take nothing for granted now .I'm a confirmed board apologist, but that doesn't mean that I don't have some axes to grind.

Aye, they do, but if that is even being considered PA, then they better be pocketing a cheque in excess of £40 million.Get what youre saying SP but unfortunately every player has a price.I hope we get another 2 seasons out him at least but i take nothing for granted now .
Touche`????????I was paying my own personal tribute
He's not asking to go but if the club tell him that they have accepted an offer for him he'll have little choice. A year ago we were being told by Rodgers that it would be morally wrong to stop a player going to earn fortunes in England as Lawwell was busy trying to coax £25m out of Everton. Had they agreed the price he'd have been away and the usual suspects would have been 'selling' it as a great piece of business to the support.
Well we'll soon see mate but i reckon we accept 25/30 million for him and believe me i know thats buttons for Tierney.I'm hoping there's no truth in the rumours but i aint holding my breathe.Im still fuming about the Van Diijk transfer haha think we got 14 million all in for him,madness when you see what he's worth now.Aye, they do, but if that is even being considered PA, then they better be pocketing a cheque in excess of £40 million.
I get that money is more important than glory to businessmen, but even businessmen have to realise that it is the product on the pitch that keeps interest maintained.
Once they lose sight of that, then the worst case scenario (as described by another contributor recently) stops being a possible scenario and becomes a probable outcome.
A hope youre right 50 HHFuture Captain and immortality awaits, with his childhood and local club.
KT is here for 10 and more.
There's a bit of a myth about certain leagues adding value (EPL, la Liga, serie a), but Ajax are bucking that trend and are away to secure their future for the next 5-10 years on the sale of two players.Well we'll soon see mate but i reckon we accept 25/30 million for him and believe me i know thats buttons for Tierney.I'm hoping there's no truth in the rumours but i aint holding my breathe.Im still fuming about the Van Diijk transfer haha think we got 14 million all in for him,madness when you see what he's worth now.
