This £11m for ibrokes war chest made me think of something that's bothered me for sometime. If I pay an employee £10p/ hr the cost to the business is more like £13p/ hr after factoring in NI/ pension contribution. So my question is when player wages are spoken of e. g 25k p/ Wk is this factored in?

{Ed007's Note - In Scotland I think if you earn over £150,000 p.a gross you pay 45% in tax. That's about my knowledge of it, I invest in Tena and film companies to cover it after taking advice from Jamies ;)

In answer to your question GE, No it's not so the club meet they obligations . In terms of your big stars in the EPL Like Yaya and Sanchez etc they ask for a NETT figure and let the club gross it up so to speak

The EPL have strict "check's" in place that all contributions to HMRC are being met probably in quarterly reports mate given the fiasco's that happened @ Porstmouth and Leeds

Sadly, Our SFA Don't follow that lead and in actual fact Craig Whyte sought administration given the fact that he had stopped making said contributions after the Malmao defeat in the CL

You really have to "tip your hat" lol to Ed following his "advisor" recently the former vice-chairmen @ Rangers Donald Findlay QC said in court "That SDM had sought FISCAL advice from a FAILED solicitor and a PORN STAR! " That's like phoning a brickie to solve your plumbing problem and a bad brickie at that

So it is in fact all about the movies mate lol (Y)

{Ed007's Note - You're just jealous you've not got 'pornstar' on your CV.}

After the season we have had? Treble? Unbeaten or not! Is it not time the bunnet was honoured? We are finally reaping the rewards of all the ground work the wee man put in place, from top to bottom! If the club won't commission a statue, could the fans not raise the funds? Without Fergus we woukd not be in the strength we are now . He wasn't popular at first, but he did what the other mob have failed to do! Build a full infrastructure and allow celtic to grow as a family and a world wide brand .

20 May 2017 18:48:00
Been banging on about this for ages.
He should have a statue outside the doors beside the other great men.

20 May 2017 19:03:34
Did he not bin the idea himself?, heard a story about it a few yrs back, dunno if its true or not.

20 May 2017 19:22:06
He came in . Was honest about making his money back, had a 5 year plan and stuck to it . He wasn't interested in what that shower across the city were doing . He put his money where his mouth was, made a few unpopular choices! But what he did for our club will live on in the memories of generations to come! We are celtic 🍀🍀🍀🍀.

20 May 2017 19:59:00
Spot on Guys a statue is a great idea. And to think he was booed raising the league flag by our own. Suggestion for a Green Brigade banner 'HONOUR THE BUNNET' ☘️.

20 May 2017 20:06:10
No qualms about the bunnet getting recognised at all

Not next though, for me it has to be Tommy Burns next, Ed suggested a while back it should be lennoxtown an that's the best idea he has ever came up with on here lol! (Still wouldn't swap his picture for mine though :-P )

Then a stand for wee Fergus hoopy days all round (y)

20 May 2017 20:23:09
If Fergus doesn't want a statue? Then a stand is a great idea Jamie bhoy 7 . Tommy burns will always be a legend but a need to disagree mate! Fergus has given us a platform to grow from strength to strength. As the wee man said, it would have been cheaper and easier to start again! But the embarrassment and shame is not what the celtic fans deserve! The bills were paid, the stadium built and now we are making history on well laid foundations.

20 May 2017 21:25:51
guys, we all have come to realise what Fergus did for our club.
Over the years it has been suggested that we recognise we he achieved
Ed has stated in the past that Fergus is a very humble person and would not really want that. Having said that in sure that will come in due course:
Jamie: Great point mate, "Tommy Burns Training Academy " now that sounds not too shabby .
For Fergus it has to be a stand.

Just had this thought from the start of next season, for each month we name Celtic Park after a Lisbon Lion until every player/ Manager has had his name over Celtic Park.

20 May 2017 23:38:06
Still think we should have a bunnet day where everyone wears a bunnet for the match possibly now the first home game next season to honour the Man.

21 May 2017 00:24:34
Think it would be fitting if we all wore bunnets at the cup final. How fitting to honour the wee fella when we are on the verge of something very special hopefully. Its all because of his vision and determination. His heart must be bursting with pride at how his plan has developed. I worked at CP back then and he seemed to cut about a lot on his own always had a hello for everyone, even if people found him a little unique, I found him quite comical. He was definitely his own man. Without wee Fergus, there is no Oneill, No Henrik, Sutton, Bobo, Seville, Treble, Champions League nights. To imagine what it feels like to not have a Fergus just take wee look over at the tribute act with the crook at the helm. let's have a Fergus Final.

21 May 2017 00:34:20
Naming a stand isn't enough for me.
Got to be a statue right next to the good brother big jock and wee jimmy.

20 May 2017 23:38:12
Loved his comment about the three amigos, and do you know the way to San Jose.

21 May 2017 10:43:30
How about the main stand front doors being named the Fergus McCann entrance with a bust of him just inside the foyer as you go in .

20 May 2017 13:50:46
Question 1: Are we all confident that their will be no slip ups against the mob from the East tomorrow? Question 2: Dembelle or Grifiths to start? ☘️.

20 May 2017 14:23:34
Dembele isn't fully fit so has to be Griffiths.

20 May 2017 14:31:10
JFP : griff to start, no slip ups mate, we will go at the wee Huns from the getgo, run an absolute mock 6-1.

20 May 2017 14:49:00
Hope your right Peter-the treble after that would be the icing on the cake and some achievement for Brendan and for the team ☘️.

20 May 2017 15:40:39
When we do get the record, unbeaten and a clean sweep of all domestic cups and league : which has NEVER been done by any team before EVER . There must be some sort of recognition from 1) SFA 2) UEFA 3) FIFA which will in turn give some players a bit of thinking to do, they just might want to come and be part of the HISTORY makers.
Because Glasgow is Green and White.

20 May 2017 18:01:19
I think tomorrow will be our highest win of the season.

20 May 2017 18:07:47
Did we not win the league cup without conceding a goal? What a season to be a tim HH💚💚💚.

20 May 2017 22:46:12
UEFA/ fifa are not interested in any league outside the top 5 so I wouldn't hold your breath.

21 May 2017 09:39:27
I'm pretty sure Delbhoy had we not conceeded against St Mirren we could have won both cups without conceeding a goal!

20 May 2017 12:30:55
Really wish the press would stop referring to charlie Nicolas as a celtic legend.

20 May 2017 14:04:27
Charlie Nicholas is a baw bag and nothing else!

20 May 2017 14:24:54
Correct lh86. Should never be allowed back in celtic park again.

20 May 2017 09:50:58
I think if your player dembelle was to leave for england chelsea would be a good fit he seems to be the type of player they go for like costa n drogba big powerful and an eye for goal n dembelle fits that mould. Just an opinion from a non celtic man.

20 May 2017 06:36:34
I posted yesterday about the ET doing a magazine tribute to the great Lisbon Lions.
One of the girls pointed out to me that there was NO REPORTERS NAME on this tribute, yet when last week same paper did it "tribute" to the 9 in a row cheaters team, their guy union jack had his name on EVERY page.
It must have hurt every fibre of the H. n bodies to print the Lisbon tribute.
1967 the year that killed Rangers.

20 May 2017 07:10:52
Tim CJ is an excuse for a journalist, and 67 is the year that killed sevco rught enough, minty cheated to equal our 9 and his next mission was to equal our bug cup achievement, and he put them out of business, and the thing for me is even if the weak sfa don't strip there tainted titles for years of cheating, we will still equal and surpass there league titles but the thing that really hurts them is they know they will never equal what we done that summer day in 67 that's the killer.

20 May 2017 03:02:51
Add to my post if possible. .
I was at the right age when lubo played for us . I'm happy that we have player's that the wee guys want on their taps.
