    Ok i'll put my tin hat on incase this doesn't go down well but here is a thought only.

    People believe we are stockpiling for deadco promotion but it got me thinking of all this hun talk about london road school / lennoxtown, it appears to me deadco
    really believe they have concrete proof of wrong doings between glasgow city council and celtic.

    I had a quick look at all this alleged proof and i dont really understand alot of it but maybe others would like to do some digging into it because i can guess some of it will be useless and getting most of the details from FOI act.

    I know these knuckledraggers are only looking for a stick to beat us with because of what happened to deadco, but maybe we should really look into it in regards to where our money has gone?

    I'll be honest, a lot of it looks on paper to be very sketchy; have looked at it in reasonable detail. However, it all comes down to intent on Celtic's part, as well as proof. The fact this has been running on for so long means one of two things:

    1. Behind the scenes, a major horror show has become unearthed, and all the pieces are being put in to place.
    2. There is no proof, and it is all a bag of *.

    We wait with baited breath to find out what comes of it all......

    i hope to * these * are in a pipedream but this only came to my mind when i thought about the lack of money being spent and the players we keep selling.

    If this does come to something then Lawwell has alot of explaining to do not that he hasnt already got enough to explain.

    Where is this magic stock pile of cash? The club accounts dont show a massive pile of spare cash sitting in them. A club our size, with a squad of players on 10k a week takes many millions to keep going. Its the dross we've got on big wages thats holding us back.

    I'm quite sure Celtic benefited from unfair, or incredibly helpful deals with the council and local government. However so have Rangers in the past, Man City, Barcelona, Liverpool & Real Madrid off the top of my head.

    Morally is it wrong to help a big business who mostly employ foreigners and not locals, instead of helping the community? Yes. Will anything at all happen as a result? Absolutely not.

    We are not stockpiling money to bribe the EU after they find us guilty of mass corruption and fraud. We are stockpiling money I believe until Sevco get promoted, which is * stupid as one of the most basic rules of business is to strenghten from a position of strength - whether you're a corner shop or a multi million pound football club.

    I would assume we are stockpiling money because the Scottish game is skint.

    Did we not only make a £10 million profit pre-tax last year??? Despite making CL money and £12 excess in transfers....we are not Rangers we pay our bills.

    We'll be in administration within a year. Things are far worse for us financially than anybody realises.

    How do I know this? A Sevconian on Clyde Superscoreboard told me. Be afraid.

    Administration is the last thing we'll be in FFS :56:

    It's a difficult one to depict fully, we don't have vaults of ton notes under Parkhead and we are a PLC with an obligation to publish accounts so it's there for all to see we're not loaded in relative terms. It is an undeniable fact though we have money available to spend and we have not done it, we made the ultimate gamble in not pushing the boat out for a striker to beat Maribor. Spend £5 million to make £15 million, not guaranteed of course but it would have made us odds on favourites.
