Is it true that Sandazza, poorly treated by SEVCO, had to wait three or four months for his pay off until the season ticket money was in? And is it true he got a years salary?

Why was the sand dancer given the shove? What did he say like?

He said that Celtic had a better stadium, better fans, bigger transfer budget, directors that know what they are doing, a manager that knows what he is doing, an assistant manager that knows what he is doing, a chief scout that knows what he is doing, a better pitch, advertising, merchandise set up. And oh aye, he said our WAGS were better looking, and that things had really gone downhill since Leah left wi Alan. PFFFSSSS! ;) Nae wonder he got the sack!

It would be interesting to find out how much he was paid. that's now Sandazza, Goian and Bocanegra paid to leave. green jhedi

Well gj roughly 5k a week times that by 52 so should be 260k at least mate

I disagree with green Jhedi, I don't think they'll (Mordor) last until dec/jan. i'm having my jelly and ice cream now.

Sevconian interim accounts to feb stated they were averaging £2.4m a month out the door. £1m more than income. Now in July that's 7x2.4= £16.8m? None of the guesstimates make sense.

I actually think cardigan is crapping himself he gets caught holding the rap as it sinks.

It's only July and we're already doing the huddle in the CL.

My new number plate is jaic- jelly and ice cream. I'll consider selling it to the Celtic bus.

Only July and already euro millions flowing into Celtic. It's all good and just rewards for being the clean honest team.

is hooper definitely leaving celtic as it seems 2 be dragging on and is getting quite boring
ramie1963

I agree it has been dragging on - since a year or so ago - since he declined a new deal and was obviously confident a move to EPL would materialise.
Possibly his best chance was in January when Norwich were keen, but they did not meet the asking price and we were still in the CL at that time, so needed him.
Obviously now his contract has run down that bit more and the bids will reflect that so both club and player are in a worse position.
Celtic may not get the full fee they want and Hooper may have to settle for QPR in the Championship?
Could it have been handled any better? Maybe if Hooper had signed an extension like Stan Petrov did before he went to Villa for example and both parties could maybe have got a quick and satisfactory result.

Jungle Jim

Ah big Stan was probably one of the last of his kind, a great footballer with integrity. Thanked his fans properly and left with his head held high and will always be welcome at parkhead. Not sure Hooper will get the same result, in 6 months we will forget about him and be talking about how good our next goal scorer is. But we will never forget petrov.

Reluctant sevconian chairman WS is saying he wants out. Saying a lot of money needs to be found from somewhere. He's stated he's not competent to be chairman. He's not up to the job.
He wouldn't be stating these things if the rest of the board had the answers and the money was ok, he'd be enjoying the kudos and riding the glory. So nobody has the answers. Guess the busses bros were being tapped for £10m and on reviewing the books told them where to go.
I'm pretty sure it's him being taken for the ride and he's just realizing it.
Regardless of judges/QCs and sfa overflowing ridiculous favours, That new house of cards is going to topple again, its only a matter of when, tick tock.
One card being pulled such as a sponsor or sports direct guy walking, or Craig Whyte getting his million a year might do it.
Our friends and relatives The deady bears don't listen, their hypnotized by transfer freebies and Mather speak. TRFC won against part time guys by 26 points last season, a pre season wasn't needed, it wasn't critical and isn't critical this season, a waste of money for them.

Hang about, this can't be true! The know it all f. k head JG on the other side says that it isn't true! And if he says it isn't true it can't be true! Just ask the imbecile he will tell you!

So Sir Walter of the cardigan & brown brogues has stated that he is no business man or financial wizard.

So if you know this yourself why would you take up chairmanship of a business?

1. You are being paid handsomely to do this job.

2. To sell season books to the blind.

3. To dupe the blind and have them think everything is rosy at Ibroke because he is in charge.

When will they realise that every manager, coach, director, owner or previous owner are only there to line their pockets and couldn’t give two hoots about the fans.

Trfc should not need any money they have had a &22m share issue and two sets of season ticket sales plus TV and sponsors, shirt sales, food, hospitality, etc.
If it needs money, its being thoroughly mismanaged in fourth and third tier football. It has had the second biggest income in Scottish football by far.
Weeks to a new season, just sold the STs and chairman stating money worries is alarming.

Mismanaged? . They must be the only club in the world with a £500.000 luxury coach but choose to fly down to Bristol . And do you think they will offer Cliftonville Murray Park next week to train on? DH

It all looks rather suspicious in sevconia.My guess is the plan is working perfectly. Green and his 1p investors need to keep the lights on until Dec/Jan when the share sell lock in dissolves.

When this is achieved they sell their shares, in Greens case to the Easdales, and pocket a small fortune.This leaves the Easdales in charge but out of pocket due to buying Green out.As we all know they are not making profit and will need funding.I would think the second part of the plan will then kick in.

The Easdales, not wishing to sink any more funds into this money pit, proceed to lead them into another administration.They will exit through an achievable CVA and move forward.This is why sneaky is gathering so many players, An administration will carry a transfer ban and a points penalty.He has more than enough quality to negate a points penalty, and more than enough players to get through a ban.

Mr Pryor has more shares than Easdale but never had a sniff of the boardroom.Mr Pryor has more business acumen than the Easdales.But mr Pryor has a reputation to protect, like Malcolm Murray.Straight business men are not wanted in sevconia.green jhedi

All posts are spot on all help being given by sfa and all other parties including a understanding transfer embargo (they have signed more players than anybody else in uk) the plan is simple but timing is of upmost importance must get to dec/jan then back into admin but enough points in bag to secure promotion this new club like the old has no shame along with sneaky and sir dignity who will walk once easdales are in charge again escaping flak then attention will turn on sfa for falling fit and proper person test as the people look for someone to blame.

Excellent fact based prediction GJ.
We can all see it; so should their share holders, fans and the stock market.
Flying under the 'Cardigan of Convenience' has again fooled most of the peepul all of the time.

JJ

It's how they're going to get to first tier? Is it? Three administrations? Lol. Stiffing creditors all the way? Including HMRC?
If you're owed money from ibrox better get it quick.

@4 think you find the bus was hired for a funeral that day and a wedding the following day

Is it a loan bus from an Easdales for a directors seat?

@9 So it isny actually their bus then?? Leased from the Easdales???? Happy 2nd admin when it comes! Sevco deserve EVERYTHING they get!

Just want to say a massive congratulations to St. Johnstone for their win last night. Too often it's only us or rangers flying the flag for Scotland in Europe so hopefully the others can start performing and we can get this co-efficient back up. Group Stages for winning the SPL would be ideal lol
Kevbhoy

It is absurd that we have to play 3 qualifiers and I know it's all down to co-efficient points (or lack of).
By all means let the other Scots clubs start at the bottom of the Euro ladder, but in the last 10 years we have built up a very good reputation under MON, WGS and NL and this should count towards something as SPL Champions?

JJ

I've said it for long enough, the CL is a club competition not a national competition. It should be club ranking points not country ranking coefficients.

It's like applying country ranking coefficients to tennis players or golfers totally absurd.

How many teams went out in group stages last season but will enter competition after fourth qualifying stage this season? English clubs except Manchester United for starters.
