link Well, judging from that, either the club has been contacted or Desmond is looking to sell up and this is the first step. Why the comment otherwise? ![]() Surely Desmond and Reid can't be so stupid as to attract this sort of attention simply as a result of a careless comment, as it currently could read that Desmond is not willing to put in more money but at the same time is not willing to let anyone else to do the same. ![]() Probably something on the horizon in the next few years. |

What's worse? The current set up, which let's be honest, is a joke and is designed for those with absolutely no ambition. We are financially sound and all that, but this has come at the expense of the football team, which after all, is the only reason the fecking club exists in the first place. :rolleyes: Or being the play thing of a some cad? The answer for me, is fuck knows! :unsure: |

He may be a gigantic prick but he's as foreign to Celtic as Brother Walfrid was. |

I'd say Desmond falls under a different category from an Abramovich, Murray no legs or dare I say it, Mad Vlad! |

He owns less than 30% of Celtic for starters. If someone really wanted to take over the club then in the current economic climate it would be relatively straightforward to do if they had the will. That said, who would want to? Not much scope for a business killing really. Football clubs are generally a loser to invest in, even those in the ultra rich EPL. |

We have got to be a decent buy at the minute. To increase the short term value, all that is needed is to replace the left back, sign a top striker and move into the last eight of the CL. Presently, we have shown a lack of desire or respect for the competition by not adding to our side in the window. True, the best players can`t be afforded, but there are those who sit on the fringes of teams, and not everyone can play for the top sides due to lack of places. I hope he sells up to an Arab multi billionaire. They would have been better investing in us than City. Chelsea is always the one I wonder about. Should Abramovich pull the plug, they don`t have the fan base to survive as far as I`m aware. Suprising that someone took Chelsea on imo, but fair play to him, he has worked hard to deliver the players over the last few years. |

I`m not biased. I don`t care who beats Rangers It is up to us, to everyone at Celtic Park, to build up our own legends. We don’t want to live with history, to be compared with legends from the past. We must make new legends." Jock Stein | |

I have said for many months, even years, that everything the plc did in terms of financial prudence pointed towards DD wanting to "clean up" the balance sheet ahead of a sale. It may not be possible at the moment given the global economic climate, but the signs have been there for quite some time. |

Have you got any concrete evidence to back that statement up? The deeds of the past few years, since Seville really, have pointed to the contrary. |

the quote from him that says 'the one thing my children have said to me is that i'm not allowed to sell my celtic shares under any circumstances because they want them'. not a direct quote, but that's the jist of it. we're a plaything for rich weans!

:LOL: I don't want some soulless tosser coming in with their money. We are not a plaything and never should be. We are already at the top in Scotland and have done it the honest way, not buying our way there the way the huns did in their 9IAR era. In Europe, we have competed and will do again. We have dished out some bloody noses to some pretty rich teams and I don't believe we've seen the last of it. Having mega millions didn't stop Chelscum dropping points to Cluj though and would bring us no guarantees. HAIL HAIL |
