Hi Ed, just wondering if anyone can answer the following. What is the total cost current playing squad including the players that are surplus or injured or that we have forgotten about. The fees included in purchase and wages versus time played this would give a very accurate update on how much money the current Board have wasted, thanks as always.

Jamie 67, that a good question and no doubt if we could get an accurate answer, then it would certainly be a rod to use against the Board . If the figure was surpisingly low, then the person Tory Board is robbing us of funds .
If the figure is as expected high then the Board doesn’t care how money is spent .
Personally I don’t think the wastage if there is any is down solely to Board . The recruitment team and Managers have played their part .
How do we know if we have wastage, our wastage Is exceptional or normal .
Man Utd would be the best at wasting money that I know . More important I would like to see wastage at 3/ 4 Championship and English League . That may give a fair reflection on other clubs .
Jamie this may not be a good time to query Board expenditure, as we want Board to open purse and spend freely in January.

Thanks Celtic Calling, I know we need to strengthen but really feel strongly about the waste. I worked at a Company were part of my role was to work with the financial department and P&Ls Globally I would imaging the waste here is covered up with some clever accounting, we are the main contributers and deserve better transparency. Hopefully Buzz can enlighten us with a ballpark figure. Thanks for your reply.

Jamie, it’s a bit anti Christian to regard players who don’t fulfil. their potential as waste in the same way as a butcher regards bones and skin.

We are not aggressive in both boxes and lack physicality all over the park.

Active 8 Unfortunately our referees and VAR are not very tolerant with Celtic players showing aggression in either box.
