Maybe we should check Burrows driveway for a camper van.

Cryptic Meg returns.

The club have just tweeted that our partnership with Paycare has ended and that a new front of shirt sponsor will be unveiled in the coming weeks so it looks like we’ll be waiting a while longer to see what our 23/24 kit looks like, and who will sponsor it.

It's all going wrong for Celtic, 1st Ange leaves and now Stevie Hammell has landed a coaching job apparently https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steven-hammell-lands-top-celtic-30187048 Be afraid Celtic fans, be very afraid

The loan technically wasn't. Part of the lending criteria was that it had to be ringfenced and not to be used to cover transfer fees or players wages. There is a playing budget that covers transfer fees and wages but as with every budget it is subjective and reviewed as circumstances change throughout the season.

It was the interest free Covid recovery loan that paid for the pitch. The cost to relay the old pitch every year was close to 100k, the new one is closer to 30k so will pay for itself over 10 years or so.

KVV extending for one year cost 4 times what Josh Morris and Oxborough combined cost for two years each? That's some good budgeting.

No one knows how much we paid for moult, so that's just speculation. Signing Moult and Aaron's was plain wrong, and was a result of our indecision over GA in the summer and not either committing and letting him sign folk, or sacking him after the poor, but jammy, run in. I can sympathize a little with hammell over the timing, but I have to imagine the recruitment team presented other signing options, but he went with three players that he knew and Penney. Most of us were happy to see what moult could offer at the time, but it was clear very early on that we signed him with known injury issues, more than just a case of him lacking sharpness.

Moult was a shocking decision tbh and whoever gave that good to go should have been sacked on the spot let's not kid ourselves here we would have been have been picking up a chunk of the wage Burton must have been pishing themselves with laughter when we came calling. I refuse to believe in one month we couldn't come up with someone better like someone actually fit so the excuse that Hammell didn't have long to find someone is just an excuse to have a go at Alexander when really the problem lays at Hammell,Burrows and Daws door. Yep looked good business cause we were not told the truth about how serious the injury was to Moult and for me screamed lazy,get the fans back on board with a fan favourite signing after the Alexander Sligo fallout. Christ folk still saying should sign him now is the reason why we shall never make money or progress with players like Lennon Miller shall only make training fees when we could be making bank! Namaste peeps!

No idea but I imagine criteria can perhaps change from season to season?

We currently change all kits every single season and, I agree, this is hard on the fans. Could we not keep every shirt for two full seasons at least? Like change the home kit one year, change the away kit the following year and third & goalie the next. At least then there is a new kit every year to look forward to / slag off. Would be difficult with the sponsor often changing year-to-year but not impossible to manage sensibly.
