It was probably just the the rangers fishel radio station Clyde SS spoonfeeding more feel-good tom kite to los gullibillos . It's what they do, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would expect they would be too. Totally agree with you about the reduced revenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average salary for Celtic player is c.£250k per annum than a Rangers player. Both clubs are miles ahead of the rest though. Where did the tarts finish again plus I don't see Motherwell on that table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Lustig Sinclair and Tierney gone Celtic have already cut their cloth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snifter Pee Rot Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The Rangers are heading straight for the rocks surely, unless they do get the 15m for Fat Freddy which is highly unlikely. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 If he meant Ian Ferguson the midfielder from the late 80s and 90’s, he was never one to shirk a tackle but certainly wasn’t one for going around kicking everything or trying to break legs.Aye very good. This c**t was as dirty a player as you are ever likely to see. Complete hatchet man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you concede that spending £5m on a goalkeeper in a one team league would then be incredibly stupid in that case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with one senior keeper would be incredibly stupid. Also Craig Gordon would have been one of our highest earners. We also have cut a fair bit from our squad have and have made 20-30 million profit in our past 3 years. With European qualifiers not too far away it would have been a case of penny wise pound foolish where we have been caught out before.

If you are a loss making business then yes it would be. Celtic aren’t though and have already significantly reduced the wage bill over the past year by allowing 2 of our highest earners to leave. Our cloth has already been cut accordingly. Rangers last financials reported a 11 million loss. Since then they have sold no assets, revenue won’t have increased significantly as they always sell all their season tickets and a high number of shirts but yet are increasing their wage bill to that extent despite knowing there will be a significant reduction in match day revenue for a significant period of time. im no accountant but I don’t see how that can be viable Edited August 7, 2020 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Looks like 'cutting your cloth in these financially uncertain times with match day income taking a massive hit' is only if you're not Glasgow Celtic. Gotcha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. Well financial results wise I think were the only club in Scotland that have built a significant financial buffer over past few years which can now help counter it, so yes.
