Bank debt has increased by £2m though?
Still, I guess that it's good going considering the loss of the £10m CL income and all the transfer deals.

read my post before yours
You were right about one thing - someone will say you are wrong. Your post would be correct except for the fact that that is not how accounting works.
In accounting there is a concept of accounting for income and expenditure known as accruals. What this means is that if any money is earned during a period even though it has not been recieved yet, it has to be included in the figures. This means that Celtics share of gate money, TV revenue, prize money etc (had they been in the Champs league) would have been included in the interim results and, by default, those figures exclude that money - basically, the bad news has already been delivered is what i am saying.
For example, if Rangers prepared their interim results to the same 31st december period, it would include an accrual for the champs league money that they effectively earned in that period, despite the fact that they won't recieve it until the summer.
So, in summary, Celtics figures already reflect the fact that there will be no champs league income and, you can compare them with any other season where Celtic have played in the group stages until Xmas. Not a bad set of results.
From looking at the figures, the increase in bank debt can be put down to investing 7 or 8 million in the team when income genrated has been lower.
Not a bad set of results all things considered.
Even considering how bad we are at football?
I take no comfort in knowing that the PLC is being run by very clever, responsible people when we're being served up dross on the park every week.
Should that indeed be the case(fair enough that I'm wrong) then there will possibly be an increase in debt in the full term results regardless....
Due to the lack of games so to speak at home in the 2nd half of the season due to no involvement in Europe over Xmas(same applies for Rangers) then that would mean less opportunity to receive income through the home gate, merchandise etc, do you see where I'm coming from there?
Only benefit we've had in terms of extra home games is through replays lol!
It must be said though as we all know, a period without inclusion in the champions league is bad for either Old Firm side...
Well, one can speculate certainly and I can't disagree with you as I really don't know.
I do agree that prolonged periods without champs league football is extremely damaging to either side of the old firm. It is definitely of concern but slightly re-asssuring that we were in a pretty healthy state to begin with and I do think we have the best board at managing finances.

It's not their fault. they have backed the manager 100% - I don't rate Mowbray at all - i think they shoud get Strachan back - imagine if they had given him that sort of money to spend !
Owen Coyle next year for me i think

Strachan is the man who signed Willo Flood and Chris Killen not once, but twice.
I think he'd be dangerous with that kind of money.Any idea what Mowbray's net spend is? There's been lots of undisclosed fees and loans so it's tricky to know exactly what he's spent.
Pretty sure they were both permanent deals.
I've no idea how much the papers are saying Mowbray spent, but, given your average Scottish football hack's affinity for hyperbole, I think it's safe to say you're right.

Flood has been a bit of a revelation at Boro
Killen, still not sure on.
Flood has been a bit of a revelation at Boro
Yeah I'd always suspected he'd flourish at a lower level
I have a funny feeling that mowbray is the type who WOULD resign if things are as bad by the midway point next season

Pretty disgraceful to be knocked out the cup by Raith, although I thought we would lose to Dundee again anyway. The team needs a complete overhaul to be honest.
Keep Fyvie, Paton, Pawlett in the team and recall McGuire and there is at least solid foundations for a good young team. It's the only positives to take from this season.

Heard rumours he tried to do it b4 crimbo this season and got knocked back. All rumours but then he didnt look happy and had clearly lost the dressing room hence why most were shipped out either sold or on loan.
Correct re Killen and Flood apparently they were let go for 0.

I image losing to them in a Cup Final would be even worse.
Do you ever make a post about Rangers? Or are you just a little too obsessed with Celtic?
