Why didn't u post my news about
john reid getting pushed out the door becausethey are10 mill in debt beacauseof no champions league money for the last 3 years {Ed007's Note - Because that has nothing to do with it. Dr. Reid had informed Dermot Desmond about standing down in mid-March. No one was pushed anywhere, Why would you sack a Chairman for that? Wait, If Celtic pushed Dr Reid out the door for not winning the league, why did Rangers sack Alistair Johnston before his agreed time to stand down after winning the league? Was it because that after steering Rangers through one of the most difficult periods in their illustrious history, he was stabbed in the back along with John Grieg and others, who realised that Tim but Dim does not have the financial clout that he had projected himself to have?How the present non existent razamataz surrounding Tim but Dims take over has clouded the memory of so many Rangers fans that they could discredit and turn a blind eye to men who have served the club so well for decades. At least when you go to Ipox your partner will be able to go to the Asda that will be built near the stadium. OOPS! Hope that clears that up for you}

There was press talk of him leaving earlier in the year but he dismissed the rumours.

Celtic have known about this for a while though, probably since the start of the season. The only reason the press would ask is if someone opened their big mouth as the chairman is not something people talk about unless there's rumblings of them leaving etc. Obviously the someone that informed the press had no credibility as it didn't exactly make headline news.

The guy is pushing 65. .no surprise he's leaving. They've also pulled some new guy from seemingly out of nowhere. The "out of nowhere" is several months of recommendations and interviews. Also, if you google "Ian Bankier" and go to the first hit it's a Celtic forum talking about this in November last year. It was already going to happen. {Ed007's Note - Bankier was always one of the candidates to take over. Again, it's just people twisting things to suit their own childish agenda}

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on edd007 and you talk about rangers fans being obsessed with neil lennon got a fixation of your own even got a pet name for him.and if you really are concerned sorry don't believe you your a celtic fan your as concerned as i would be if roles were reversed. wonder how much these people were getting paid as for steering auto pilot more like it. where was all these peoples advice when we were spending 10million a year more than we earned kept very stump i don't feel sorry for any of them as far as im concerned the dead wood got cut out lets see how long the repair lasts whyte stabbing people in the back if id a bought the club everyone who worked at that level would be loyal any sign of disloyality i would get rid simple as. as i said yesterday ed007 3-5years and he will be gone but before i jump on the bandwagon i want to see what he does first give him a chance so to speak and if he fails to produce what he promises there will be a lot of disappointed fans calling for his head big rab by the way {Ed007's Note - The old Rangers board and chairman was put in place to deal with the financial crisis Rab, as a Rangers man you must agree they done a good job? 3 in a row??? No one has came out to counter claim against the opinion Tim but Dim didn't have the level of money he was alleging, which John Greig and Co did. All I am saying is that it is all ifs and buts just now. Fergus McCann was making statements left right and centre when he took the helm at Paradise, since the season ended there hasn't been a peep from Rangers about their intentions. If he came out and said "the manager will be supported in the transfer window", "we are looking to put money into refurbishing the stadium", "our fan's deserve the best team and stadium that I can give them". Anything like that to let the man in the street know what he plans to do with THEIR club. There is an old saying Rab, beware a wolf in sheeps clothing}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah twisting things own agenda edd007 your a star big rab by the way {Ed007's Note - Gee, thanks Rab!}

Agree0 Disagree0

Walter and the players won us 3iar success of the team had nothing to do with them i do believe there is more to this than meets the eye repairs to the stadium will happen statement from ibrox will come over the coming weeks if he hasnt got what he says he has we will soon no and he will have to explain himself wolf in sheeps clothing you have been reading to many fairy tales but hold on it is very quite get a grip some bad boy upset you today with your ipox and asda remarks and don't say they started it ithink you do watch the x-files mulder i mean ed007 big rab by the way {Ed007's Note - Ach, no wonder Rab. Rangers fans seem to think CL money is the be all and end all of football. Dr Reid got sacked because of Celtic not winning the league??? There is a train of thought that the CL money was promised to the bank as part of the takeover to help clear the debt, it was guaranteed money so it could have been used as collateral on the deal. At least you come here and post decent banter etc, and I show your posts the same respect you show mine. It gets so annoying that after you have explained something, the blinkers come on and the information doesn't seem to sink in and you get a post saying "celik are skint coz yous huvnt goat CL monie." for the 100th time that day, know what I mean by the way?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Edd007 heres the thing there storys by the bad boys to wind you up reasonable fans will think celtic got a couple of billionaires they got nothing to worry about the will cover any loss but hold on maybe theres something in it only kidding stop the name calling its celtic fan its celtic park its rangers fan its ibrox though i did like the orange walker thing anyhoo if you take part in the name calling how can you complain about it hollier than thou i don't think so.i just think you can talk and debate without the nonsense big rab by the way a leading light on a dark forum {Ed007's Note - It's hardly name calling Rab! Anyhoo, I said for you to leave an e-mail address and will send you something I think you will find quite funny, if I have sussed your sense of humour right, about football years ago. I won't pass your address on or use it for anything stupid by the way! Just put it in the e-mail field know what I mean?

Agree0 Disagree0

Edoo7 my email address on your point of name calling rise above the bile and the nonsense remember thay can take are lives but they can't take never mind remember to slur your enemy it makes it easy to hate and there plenty of loony tunes out there.a man that doent mind being called a person or a tim im going to wear your insult with pride is deluded make another human being faceless and it make it easier for the hate brigade treat everyone with the same respect you want im telling ya only good will come from it.people might start thinking they are not all the same there are good guys over there who don't insult me because i believe this or do that they may not agree with me but there is mutual respect {Ed007's Note - Respect is not given for nothing, respect is earned and mutual respect is what can drag us out of the mess Scottish football is in}

WHAT IS IT WHEN CELTIC GET DECENT PLAYERS THEY GET LINKED TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE FOR PENNIES CELTIC WONT SELL THERE BEST PLAYERS ON THE CHEAP SO GET A GRIP G.B.N.L

Believable1 Unbelievable0

You may have to as you don't have much money not saying they will might just sell Andreas Hinkel , Lukasz Zaluska , Glenn Loovens , Thomas Rogne , Efrain Juarez lets face it all u need is 1 maybe 2 dc and gk and your sorted imo.

and with the cash you do have plus what ever you get from them will prob bring in a really good dc {Ed007's Note - Hinkels' is out of contract. He will probably end up back in Germany}

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair it happens to Rangers as well with Bougherra, McGregor and the like. In reality prior to Whyte's takeover they'd have had to accept pennies if the bank said so. Now they can hold out for a bit more.

I see what you're saying though. The sale of better players at stupid prices (and refusal of sale when the EPL insult you with 3 or 4 million) should now be considered part of Celtic's business model. We did it with McGeady and refused anything significantly below 10M. No reason we can't do that with the rest of them. Bring them in cheap through scouting, eventually sell at high prices if they're a success. If not then there's not a great deal to lose. If the EPL want to take the mick and offer less than they would to a Championship or lower EPL side then they're welcome to look elsewhere.

It would worry me that Tim but Dim is so quiet in the media and spends his time on here. He should surely be looking at signings. Do you think him and Sally are taking tips off the Rangers site?}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hope so ed as the rangers site is full of s**t
past the murray memorial site in milngavie + there are a lot of groupies standing around what do they know, or are they just lost or they might be waiting to spot the lesser spotted TIM>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ed007's Note - Yeah, Because it is heavy boring, I don't post them anyway. We have a board of billionaires underwriting our debt/overdraft. £10-15 million to Dermot and Co? Do you know how rich these men are? The banks will never have the power they had at Rangers at CFC. DMs entire businesses were in trouble, the recession doesn't seem to have affected any CFCs directors wealth. Look up and see what Dermot Desmond gave his good friend Tiger Woods as a wedding present. It is financially impossible for Celtic to end up in the situation Rangers were in. McGeadys transfer fee covered CL money nearly and the CFC board, as DM done plan their financial projection for the year on winning nothing. The way big clubs like CFC and Rangers do.}

Yeah its also impossible for Celtic to end up as champions but lets not go into it! !

Billyboy1!

Dermot got £750Million for the airport / Heliport and land at Canary Wharf about 5 years ago.

What has a ex rangers player got to do with it ?? Kenny Miller , Mo Johnstone etc

I went to school with Burkey at holyrood Celtic fan from the gorbals , Celtic youth but got told to wee went on to make his name with rangers spoke a few times with him he would easily sign for celtic .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why would Celtic sign Chris Burke ? we already have , Kris Commons , Paddy McCourt , James Forrest , Niall McGinn and Shaun Maloney for the winger positions , Burke is not better than any of these players .

Celtic banter.

I'd like to put forward the notion that posts containing the combination of words "Champions League money" or any variations thereof result in an automatic ban from publication on the website.

Anyone in agreement? {Ed007's Note - Yeah, Because it is heavy boring, I don't post them anyway. We have a board of billionaires underwriting our debt/overdraft. £10-15 million to Dermot and Co?

Lol if u don't think having the CL money affects ur team then ur sadly sadly deluded!. .all of u !

Agree0 Disagree0

Billionaires they maybe but as last season showed they nor lennon can buy the spl :) how does it feel knowing rangers out down you on all frounts with no money

off topic a little has lennon had a new contract yet ? he brought back the passion to the game witch is not a bad thing it's just a shame the idiots that have been sending him bombs as a rangers fan i really don't think this is right and i hope othere rangers fans feel the same :) don't get me wrong can't stand the guy he may have saved other beautiful game with the passion lets face it rangers and celtic game were really bad till mr lennon got the job

any way a little banter can go a long way just keep sectarianism free :)

Agree0 Disagree0

The current rangers squad cost more than celtics so get that we had no money pi55 oot ur heed ya helmet

Agree0 Disagree0

I reckon it should be banned basically because 9/10 times it's a wind up post or snidy reply from a Rangers fan about a rumour or discussion going on on the website. There's a difference between those types of replies and banter - banter's usually mutually funny. {Ed007's Note - Well said}

Agree0 Disagree0

How much did Jellyfish cost? Zilch????

"Also hearing of a bid for a prominent central defender from one of the top 5 EPL sides. . . This is a massive one that will stun everyone. I'll hopefully get the name tomorrow, although it was hinted that it is a London Club.

- I have recieved several texts from celtic mates on this. and a lot of the talk is of alex from chelsea! wages would be a major stumbling block though, other names mentioned is ledley king and martin skrtel! don't know what to believe. .but expect something big i have heard, desmond is doing it all by himself!"

I'd love to believe you man but I just don't. People on here have been talking about Upson from recently relegated West Ham and we've previously been linked with numerous other EPL players e.g. Wilson, Dunne which are more likely but still never going to happen.

We didn't even manage Sol Campbell last season. There was talk of it being for family reasons involved in moving so far north which in part is probably true but he's also getting English (EPL at that) football which is more familiar and more money which is the let's face it more of a priority. Ledley king, Martin Skrtel, and Alex would walk into any team outside the top 5. Why would they come here to a poorer standard of league for less money?

Assuming you're not just trolling, the only top 5 defender that we'd realistically be able to get (barring a younger player not wanted) for a reasonable price (free agent) is the injury prone Jonathon Woodgate who we've been linked with before.

Shane Long isn't a Celtic fan lol typical Celtic. He's far too expensive for Celtic, I'm a Rangers fan who takes no interest in Celtic but it's always funny to come on and see how delusional you people are. Champions League money (or lack of it rather) is going to have a big effect on Celtic. Simples. {Ed007's Note - Why are you here if you have no interest in Celtic? The Rangers page is blue at the top or is the link broken? Let me know if there is a fault please mate.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Why did the papers say he is a celtic fan then? Do you know him personally? Didn't think so. Away back to your own page and talk your usual bile!

Agree0 Disagree0

No harm in enquiring, which I'm sure we've done. As for his price it depends on who else is putting money on the table. Relegation candidates may not want to to spend £4M+ on a striker; bigger clubs might not want to spend £4M on a squad player.

Having said that I too reckon he'll end up in the EPL (my guess is Newcastle who've argubly got a striker crisis and money to spend assuming they get to use some of the Carroll money) but people said that about Ledley, Wilson and Hooper last season so I'm not totally writing it off.

Agree0 Disagree0

No interest in Celtic but it's always funny to come on and see how delusional you people are
