    Why would they pump all that money in just for advertising and self promotion? When they could just spend money on advertising? I think youve had too many beers.

    If they respect the support and the identity of the club and got rid of the disco lights I'd be all for it.

    Nope. Not because of a moral standpoint though, just the fear of what would be left of our club when he got bored and * off.

    I know a guy who told me today he’s giving his season book away to his pal for all the midweek games from now on as he can’t face another session of the overly loud pre match annoying music and disco lights...I’m not that far off taking that stance myself or coming in 2 minutes after KO

    Absolutely. Think of the deluxe driveway peter could have with arab millions behind him.

    Poor lambs Bentley must be feeling the chill on the current bonus he has to get by on.

    Tell him I'll have it. I'd give my right arm for that. Lights are an annoying waste of money yes I don't blame him.

    Let me know if he needs my number.

    * lights drive me. Stupid lights. Why would anyone go see celtic with them lights?

    Would need to be under the right circumstance, but even their millions would not be much benefit in terms of progressing us on Europe for example as top players would still not come here unless we offered way above EPL for example...

    I’d rather us and similar sized European clubs split from UEFA and formed a modest but sustainable European league.

    Football can't keep going the way it is. The game is well and truly broken. I've always been against an Arab/Asian/Russian investment as once the investment pulls put whether it be in a year or 20years time you team is dead and gone as you simply can't recover from that.

    It would be amazing at the time but not worth it in the long run.

    We need to find a way of moving to the England and ultimately the premiership so we can become more competitive without risking our whole future

    Is England not one of the broken leagues you are talking about?

    You can get there and live within your means. Once the bubble burst these teams will flourish while Man City and Chelsea are go the way of the hun

    Naw. Some things in life are more important than money, maintaining our identity and ethos as a football club are one of those things. We were set-up by the people, for the people and that's the way it should remain. (or return to depending on your stance on the current board) As Tommy Burns once said, "When you pull on that jersey you're not just playing for a football club, you're playing for a people and a cause"

    These plastic, * pop-up clubs like City, Chelsea, Salzburg, PSG etc. are utterly soulless if anyone has ever attended their games. Full of mercenaries that are there to get their sliver of the owner's dark money before it disappears.

    Look at what happened to Gretna. Money pumped, success on the park, flying up the leagues, made a Scottish Cup Final....then their sugar daddy takes unwell, the funding stops and they go to the wall. Celtic should never be jeopardised like that. Not even for the sake of winning a Champions League.
