Mikastar Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think there is a lot of hyperbole, paranoia and guessing on this thread as in others. Can’t we just get behind the common cause ie.... our super Ayrshire killie??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 No harm in asking the question at the AGM but I'd be amazed if there's anything like a £2m increase in revenues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have hoped we could have agreed £1M after 20 games rather than 20 games this season, that seems a very easy get out for Celtic. If Celtic wanted to play him, they would and having to pay another £1m isn't going to deter them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenwick Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 GT was a panic buy from celtic as bolingoli was honking, they signed taylor but bolingoli had good glasgow derby so couldnt b dropped, they prob knew we'd accept low offer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondo Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 We'll need to wait for the 2019/2020 accounts to get the true figure. If any of the above fees quoted are true then it means to me that our finances are not in as good shape as we thought. £2.2m, was the transfer fee I believed was finally settled at and even that figure was low compared to what he is worth. Frankly I'd be disgusted if we caved into Lawwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 IF £1.25m was the figure we accepted then that is a much bigger cave in than any of MJ's transfer dealings. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty97 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not going to start quoting everyone on this thread but we're ripping the board here based on absolutely nothing. Not one word about the transfer fee on this thread is fact and still we feel the need to jump in with opinions based on what wee Jimmy's granny's dug said or thought about how much it was. If you know anything about Lawwell at all you have to consider that it would be him that wanted the fee to be undisclosed as he would face questions from the Celtic support if they thought their club had paid too much. He doesn't like to be seen as a pushover as it would affect future dealings and negotiations. The truth of the matter will probably be a mix of all things, my guess, and it is a guess I'm not claiming to have first or even second hand knowledge is that we'd have got a fair bit over £1m up front and the rest would be made up of realistic clauses. Twenty appearances this year - no one would agree to that deal, no one. Possibly 20 appearances overall and I'd add more money in for 10 international appearances which doesn't depend on the parent club. You won't see it at the AGM this year as that reflects the previous seasons figures, you probably won't see it the following year either as there will be too many factors to determine what was transfer fees and what was not. If we paid debt with some of it then that shows we are operating prudently and sustainably, I just hope they have put some aside to re-invest in the squad which is our core business and essential to our revenue stream. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we accepted a bid of 1.25million and further million would be added on if he plays 20 games this season. surely that wouldn’t be true ? Tho it does explain maybe that’s why he isn’t starting or featuring even on the bench. i hope that it’s not true that would be gutting One of the worst ever rumours posted on the history of the internet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmurray Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I'm not surprised if we signed a seal that was structured that way. A lot of transfers from "smaller" clubs to "bigger" are usually from one league level to another. In the GT case why we would believe he wouldn't play most games and get 20 pretty quickly. The form of the other fullback improved dramatically over the transfer and Greg was able to play... I think he was injured at the time of his transfer. So a mix of disrupting the team, injury had restricted his playing time. Flexibility if Jonny Hayes to play midfield/winger make him a logical bench selection.. I don't think for 1 second that Celtic don't want to pick him to delay a transfer fee to us. In the end we will the money as he gets playing time going forward... The impact to us is cash flow... Which is not great but that's how things go. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullitt Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Sorry, but no club in world football would accept a deal that involved twenty games that season. Player could be injured in his first match costing the selling club potentially a lot of money. Think a few of you need to put down football manager and come back to the real world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May(?). If so, the the cup games and possibly Clarke compo will be in last year's figures, and the rest in next year's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
