Like I say he keeps himself quiet usually regarding Celtic and isn't a majority shareholder so is usually left alone. He didn't even want to have as big a share as he does. He did a share issue years ago to raise funds (and theoretically reduce his share), waited for people to pick them up and when the remainder shares weren’t being taken up on he bought the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get there is a perception of penny pinching, but it is simply not true, is it? Especially when you consider you've spend over £50mill in the past 3 years. Got bored at work so looked at the figures from transfermarkt and over the past 9 seasons, Celtic have spent 80% of the transfer fees they have brought in from selling players. Thats far more a percentage than the teams Celtic should be aspiring to be in Europe: Benfica (42%), Porto (45%), Ajax (44%), PSV (53%) and Salzburg (53%). So, rather than the board being tight arsed, is it not just that Celtic are failing to sign and/or produce players they can sell at a profit to then be reinvested. For me, your problems lie in the scouting department identifying dud players and having coaches/managers that arent developing players to maximise the profit later on. Thoughts? Don’t forget the substantial investment in the disco lights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look at the last ten games that's got Celtic to this point, 4 European games 4 league games and 2 cup games. Europe has been poor you can't dress it up any other way,Lille away was the only positive. League games have been a mixed bag plus the cup games with one positive and one negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
