"Celtic don't have to worry about players leaving for £10 m no more" BR.
That's a brave statement and looking quite possible with at least 2 of our brightest prospects.

cash will always tempt this board. maybe BR has been given assurances for this coming window.
19 Nov 2016 18:17:10
Money may always tempt the board but they will always get the best price for the player.
19 Nov 2016 19:14:20
if players want to leave that is.
19 Nov 2016 21:24:00
What I actually meant was it's quite possible we don't or won't flog of our star players as soon as they reach that 10m tag.
Infact the time had maybe arrived where squad players will be overlooked for a player who will improve the team.
I'm looking forward to CL in 2017/ 18 already. A couple of additional players and a kinder draw, beyond the group stages is a distinct possibility.

Bhoywonder, you are right Celtic will always flog their top players, but only after they and their agents insist on them moving on.
We haven't heard anyone saying recently they want to move on.

There isn't many football clubs in world football who don't sell players.
We are a developing club now pure and simple and with that comes departures. The position of Scottish football in terms of attendances, facilities and competitiveness forces this approach. Then there is the financial aspect to think off. If your offered 2 or 3 times your salary elsewhere would you not consider it?
Remember a lot of the players we sign have no allegiance to us it's a stepping stone in there careers.

dont worry lawwell will soon encourage them to leave when the big money offers come in.

It must be very difficult to support a club who has a very senior employee plotting against the club.
21 Nov 2016 15:43:05
your usual bs old bhoy.
21 Nov 2016 22:24:58
Well is there any harm been consistent in supporting your club .

lawwell has held us back the last few seasons while awarding himself obscene bonuses.
22 Nov 2016 23:01:11
To be accurate the board agree Lawwell's bonuses based on a pre- arranged criteria
Many may say it's obscene, but at the end of the day the difference in what Lawwell gets including bonuses ( just less than £1m ) and say the industrial average of £550-£600 wouldn't hold a club of Celtic 's size back much . An unwanted free transfer with no lump sum and a weekly wage of £7,000 or £8,000 .
I imagine we would be better without.
