No subsidence at Parkhead – Quality over quantity for Celtic

No Subsidence At Parkhead-Quality Over Quantity For Celtic this Summer…

As theRangers’ Gumtree executives continue to plunge headlong into the transfer market with a succession of relative unknowns and hopefuls, the Celtic money men by comparison wisely continue to monitor and negotiate their way through a strategic minefield.

With the Euros in full flight, there are several players who have caught the eye, and I’m sure Celtic will be sifting through the chaff to unearth gold nuggets who may find their way into the Champions League via Parkhead.

Adam Idah and Paulo Bernardo are in the negotiation stages in light of a return to Paradise, and we all wish for a positive outcome there. For over a month now there has been rumour after rumour about goalkeepers, midfielders and strikers, however, nothing has been set in concrete, as yet.

For those of you who are kicking over tables in regard to the apparent lack of ink on contracts, chill! The money is there and in abundance, but, should we go down the route of the EBT specialists and simply chuck our shekels at the first club to put their hand up?

That would be unwise in the extreme and Celtic has every right to get the best deals for the best players, at the right price. Frankly, I’m delighted that OUR cash is being handled with care and I’m confident that the Livakovics, Kvistgaardens and the Dahbos, constants on our radar according to eminent journos, will find their way to our shores, IF the price is right.

If not, there are others who will jump at the chance to face Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal and the likes in the greatest club competition on the planet next season. I’m happy to negotiate whilst others speculate with panic buys – historically, we all know how that ends up! Put the jelly and ice cream down for now!

“Stories coming out seem to be a lot more than just a delay in supplies…” “I’ve been involved in a number of stadium projects…” “Rangers complained about Dundee..” “Subsidence and asbestos” “Someone must have known about this for a while”

How the stadium debacle over at the Crumbledome, home of our dear friends will end up is anyone’s guess. The initial reports about an Asian contract gone awry now appears to be the tip of the iceberg, and should ex-Aberdeen, Aston Villa and Everton CEO, Keith Wyness have his speculative ducks in a row, this iceberg could sink Ibrox with no lifeboat big enough to bring the drowning crew safely home.

Subsidence, asbestos, lack of vision and attention to the most important aspect of the club, i.e. health and safety; it could feasibly add up to disaster SHOULD the reports bear fruit.

I cannot see Wyness put his credentials on the line for the sake of it. People of his ilk usually have inside info on matters such as these otherwise they open themselves up to more than ridicule. Isn’t it ironic that the businessman’s old ground, Goodison Park, has the same architect as Ibrox, Archibald Leitch.

Everton will play their last ever match at Goodison this season before relocating to their shiny new stadium. They have the luxury of a bank account and credit score to see them through this transition.

Conversely, theRangers’ transition will not so assured. IF they hit the jackpot with merely a steel hold-up to negotiate, they could possibly play ‘mine host’ at ‘home’ by September.

IF there is an abundance of asbestos, a Christmas return could be the surprise package in Santa’s blue sack.

IF subsidence is a genuine threat, the possibilities are endless with this clear and present danger, meaning a new Asda could appear in Govan whilst theRangers beg, steal and borrow funds to build a new ground.

However, who will be brave enough to lend them this astronomical amount when they can barely buy a player without loans or yearly instalments?

New club, new ground? Is it any wonder James Bisgrove jumped on the Shipyard Express and headed for Saudi immediately after Adam Idah brought the Double home to Paradise?

Season 2024/25 may well prove to be monumental in more ways than one. Four-In-A-Row and the possibility of a new Title contender, Third Rangers Football Club? Enjoy the ride. I am.
