Celtic plc annual results for year ended June 30, 2025

Why do they lie? Genuinely.
Why can’t they just have a bit of balls and admit their own failings. Not for a lot of us but the more forgiving side of the support would actually drop the sack the board stuff if they just admitted they messed up this summer and would review the transfer strategy etc.
but no of course they have to come out looking even worse. *

 

It was an over £45m pre tax profit, we broke our transfer record for someone called corporation tax. They cost £12.4m.

 

Bet he plays on the left aswel.

 

Yeah as all the right winger tories do their best to avoid him. He would be deadly against the Rangers right enough, why was he not in for Ibrox?

 

Brilliant for the share holders showing everything improving financially. Next summer’s figures will be down due not qualifying for the CL group stages, attendances will probably be down due to the fans watching mediocre football , merchandising will be down and will we be as successful domestically this season with a weaker team.
Waken up Celtic the fans demand and deserve a successful team on the pitch.

 

More corporate flannel and bullshit from Lawell.
Not a mention of UCL failure or the UEFA restrictions we are allegedly constrained by either.
No suggestion either of what improvements will be made as they 'share the fans frustration and disappointment'
A couple of quotes below ....

These gains were largely reinvested into the playing squad, aligned to the Club’s commitment to sustained on-field success.

We recognise and share the frustration and disappointment of our supporters with respect to the timing of some of the incoming acquisitions. We will always look to improve how we operate and overcome challenges where possible.

 

I couldn't see it in the qouted statements online but on the back of the daily hun its qouted as

"Unfortunately we suffered a loss on penalties to goat farmers which resulted in the entry to the europa league. As a board we take full responsibility for that failure to achieve that key objective and commit to improving going forward."


So if they are taking responsibility who are they sacking and when?

 

Is this their way to justify the hoarding of cash, for long term financial stability? But where does it stop?
We are 50% more in the bank than our worse season financially under Deila.

We would need to see about 10 players leave on free contracts, COVID for three seasons and an economical crisis for us to need the 80-100m we are gonna be hoarding.

It's all guff to justify themselves, but it makes * all sense.

It's them digging their trenches. They're not ready to depart their gravy train. Can only hope the review that Rodgers mentioned last week does take place, the rat that leaked to the sun is found amd sacked. I believe it's Lawell.

But the accompanying statement wi the financials is reminder to Desmond of his worth to the club.

Its a conservatuve outdated plan. All that money. No plan, no vision. Not for for purpose.

 

We spent more on tax on profits last year than we did on Engels

 

So..... how close are we actually to breaching FFP?

 

A good 50p if you believe the board.

 

They are a board that prioritises profit and financial performance over the football team. There is no other way to read it.

Every statement they make towards the fans (which are few and far between) is a dishonest charade to pretend otherwise.

We have paid more in corporation tax over the year end than our record signing ffs

 

So some releases of * Lawwell will put his name too but not 'others'.

 

These * fail to grasp that failure on the pitch leads to failing in the bank balance.
No doubt BR will leave next summer and we will then give some project manager 20 or 40 million to spend rebuilding the whole * team.
A club our size should never ever need a rebuild,the club should play a style and every manager who comes here is just tweeking the squade with some improved players.

 

£126m losses give or take.

 

At first glance it doesn't all balance up, the full AGM report will go more indepth but first glance it looks like we have paid more upfront for incoming and accepted lower upfront payments for outgoings.

£3m interest in the £77m in the bank aswell.

Got a feeling we haven't included the frimpong sell on there is a £5m income sitting but without the full detailed AGM report its impossible to say. That will come in the next 45 days which will show full remuneration and then you can do a proper deep dive!
