Celtic Diary Friday March 17: It’s All In The Planning

New Head of Recruitment Lee Congerton has been telling us the why’s , the wherefores and whats it got to do with you of his new job at Celtic..

Of course, there’s the Brendan Bonus…

“I was very fortunate to work with him at Chelsea, along with a lot of other very good people, including Glen Driscoll, who is Head of Performance here, and I’m looking forward to working with these guys again. Obviously Brendan’s a big reason why I’m here but I’m also delighted to work for Celtic and I’m very proud. 

and the Celtic effect…

“Celtic is known all over the world. I feel fantastic and I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead.”  

So, whats the plan ?

“We will be looking worldwide, but we can’t forget our roots and Scotland, Ireland and the rest of the UK are very important for us,” he said. “But we’ll be looking everywhere for talent that fits what Celtic is about.

“We took Moussa Dembele from down the road, and he’s been a great signing, so we’ll constantly be doing that, but we’ll also be looking at other areas.

“I believe we can find the right players to fit the profiles that Brendan needs and wants, and without doubt Brendan will polish the diamond and make it sparkle a little bit more and hopefully allow the players to be successful for Celtic.

“As I said, I’m very happy to be here and I’m looking forward to working with Brendan and all the guys, but I am also attracted here because of Celtic, and that combination of Celtic and Brendan made it an easy decision for me.” 

No, no. I mean whats really the plan ?

Where recruitment is concerned we need the sort of planning that you get when you eat toilet paper so you can wipe your bottom on the way out.

Hanging around public football pitches with a Celtic top won’t be enough.

Congerton is the new Celtic star spotter

Even if, er, as he says..

“Scouting is not about I. It’s about the team. I like to smell the grass and see the player. 

“Scouting is not about I ? ”

Yes, he does like to smell the grass, and presumably inhale it as well.

But there was one significant thing he said, something that might actually point to a change in policy from the club…

“This club is one of the biggest in Europe and we want to be playing Champions League football. So, players we are recruiting need to be able to play Champions League football

In the years BB -Before Brendan -we were recruiting players we could turn into champions League players-have we stepped it up a level ?

Congerton also points to his time working with Gen Driscoll and Brendan Rodgers in a previous life, and standing on the outside looking in, one could be forgiven for thinking that Brendan is, in fact , on a mission…

But for now, there’s a league to be won.

Having had the weekend off last week, Celts will be determined to hit the ground running up at Dens Park on sunday.

Paul Hartley, who didn’t used to have weekends off when he donned the hooped jersey, is ready and waiting.

“We’ve been good against the top four teams at times.

“We’ve always ran them close, we beat Hearts, we beat Rangers, had close games against Celtic.

“Aberdeen have probably been the team that’s been the most impressive.

“It’s the other games we’ve found difficult at times.

“It’s such an important game for us, five games before the split but we know Celtic are an excellent team, there’s no getting away from that.

“They’ve got some outstanding players but we’ve got to make sure we play to our maximum and see if we can get anything from it.” 

Hartley had a tremendous attitude on the pitch, and he has transferred it to his players. Sunday won’t be easy, and we need to remember that the prize of being the first team to beat Celtic -purely notional-is still up for grabs. 

Thats despite the bleatings coming from Ibrox. A sort of general euphoria at getting a point… 

Which brings me to matters arising from the court case concerning the unique remuneration policy at the original Rangers..

The judges have now retired to have a wee chat about what they have learned, they will each go away and consider the evidence, then they will meet up again and have another wee chat, and then they will declare their decision. 

It will probably take a few months. After all, they need to be spot on with what their conclusions, because our source at HMRC, at least he said thats where he was from, i personally doubt it becuase he was drunk and smelt of wee wee, said.. 

“Don’t worry, we’ll get our fucking bit ” 

Its not really a “bit “, though , is it. 

There’s a lot of people right now who must be wishing they’d been eating toilet paper to keep their bottoms clean on case of accidents..

And I’m intrigued by this letter, which at the very least hints at some sort of cover up…

Oddly enough, in September 2013, the badly spelt Bishopp appeared to change his mind.. 

 ‘It was common ground before me that the presumption is that tax appeals are heard in public, and with no concealment of identity or detail. I accept that, in the past, there was good reason to fear that the personal safety of certain individuals was threatened; but the information now before me indicates that the threats have abated and have probably disappeared.

‘Even if the identities of some individuals were concealed in the First-tier Tribunal’s decision, the nature of the issues was not.’ 

 ‘Perhaps because of such feelings, professional football clubs are often regarded as having a special status. In some respects that may be the correct view; but it should nevertheless not be overlooked that a modern professional football club is not a ‘club’, in the sense of an unincorporated association of members who join together in pursuit of a common purpose, but a commercial enterprise whose function is to generate profits for its shareholders.’ 

‘Any application for privacy, anonymity or redaction of detail must therefore be supported by the same type and quality of evidence as would be required of another taxpayer, and will be granted only for the same reasons. 

If only we had a couple of reporters north of the border prepared to dig into this story.

For years, Rangers lied about their remuneration policy, they amassed debts they couldn’t pay, and as a result plunged into oblivion.

Its not that difficult to understand, and yet it seems beyond our media to ask the standard seven “w” questions…

What, Who, Why, When, Where, Which and How.

Okay, “how ” doesn’t begin with a “w” , but theres one in there.

Thats not all. 

Look at this, which also needs investigating..  

It’s Friday again, it’s also St. Patricks Day, so lets be careful out there…

Mother of invention: 'I Don't Know How She Does It' author Allison Pearson at home

In the week where Nicola Sturgeon has called for another referendum on Scottish independence, Allison Paerson, who seems to want to be Katie Hopkins when she grows up, has emerged from the shadows and used her Daily Telegrph column to offer her thoughts on the self determination issue for small nations. 

Earlier in the week , she said that Nicola Sturgeon was a traitor, and demanded her execution by proclaiming

“Off with Her Head “

Having been reminded that MP Jo Cox had been murdered in the street by an extremist under a year ago, the bold Pearson changed her tune, sort of..

 

Nicola Sturgeon – another treacherous queen of Scots – has miscalculated

On that basis, Allison Pearson is the first female winner of the prestigious Etims award…

Taken from the Johnjamessite…(If that’s OK)…

Andrew Thornhill asked the Supreme Court to reverse the Scottish Inner Court’s decision in respect of issues 1 and 2 but acceded to finding 3. This was an inordinately surprising volte-face. So much so that the Chair  of the four esteemed Lords and one Lady responded to this key concession by asking him if this meant he was accepting that PAYE was due on the Sub Trustees individual funds
Thornhill responded with a simple but highly resonant “Yes“.
So allow me to convey what this effectively means if it’s not immediately apparent to readers. Thornhill, acting for Rangers, accepts that EBT holders must pay tax and NI on the funds deposited into their trust fund by Rangers. He has thrown the players and executives to the HMRC wolves.
One might ask whether he is taking instructions from David Murray
I style this site as ‘Cynical Reflections From A Tub’  but the cynicism is this concession by BDO shows my reflections a clean pair of heels. BDO’s counsel, acting on their express instructions, has given HMRC a clear run at going after individuals by accepting that the scheme was fatally flawed, and in so doing they implicitly offer the Supreme Court a compromise where Rangers win on Issues 1 and 2 and conede on Issue 3.
However here’s the kicker for HMRC. Should BDO/Rangers appeal on issues one and two be upheld, and three be conceded, it would present HMRC with a legitimate and unchallenged one-off claim against Rangers EBT holders for employee NI and tax, and Rangers for employer’s NIC
However HMRC would not have a mandate to pursue other trust funds
Allow me to emphasize this point. If the Supreme Court accepts the compromise, the 108 recipients of EBT, are, not to put too fine a point on it ‘totally fucked’.  If the Supreme Court do not uphold the appeal, and they would not in all probability reverse an acceptance by the appellants on issue 3, the Inner House continues to hold sway. HMRC would be unshackled to vigorously pursue the EBT recipients. It’s a classic example of:
Heads you lose, Tails you lose.
The bus that is coming down the road from the Inner House is fast approaching. If it misses, it will stop to reverse over the 108 who foolishly thought that they had had a narrow escape. The proceedings of The Supreme Court were deemed by me to be dry, but I did not anticipate the Shakespearean blood-letting at its conclusion.
Those seeking Title Stripping will undoubtedly have their mandate.

So gentlemen how long before the first very public claims of “Rangers told us that’s how British tax works” is sounded by one of the foreign EBTers. Some of those names on the list will be facing hundreds od thousands in HMRC claims and I don’t see them taking being shafted by our friends at Ibrox quietly.
A cheerful thought to savour on St Paddy’s day.

a wee observation regarding the last 2 games against sevco…..
we have been piss poor for large parts of these games.
we started too slowly and were second to every 50/50 ball…..reason ??, they were up for it more than us and put more effort in.
the game at ibrox our quality eventually took over but the game there at parkhead we were really bad most of the game and at the end lost control of the game.
i hope we can learn from these 2 games and put things right in the semi next month.
Sviatchenko has been most at fault in my opinion as he has made many mistakes and looks very nervous on the ball giving it away too many times which puts us under pressure.
We also need to be better in midfield and keep the ball better and play better passes to our forward players.
We have missed the quality of Rogic in the team but hopefully he will be back for the semi.
the huns being as stupid as they are think that they can take us again but as long as we are up for the fight first and foremost then our quality will see us destroy them.
Brendan has now see enough of our mistakes in the last 2 games against them i am sure he will put them right.

PISH! Reason? Bitton was on the park and so was Boyata. Boyata and Bitton struggle with the pace of the game Brendan wants to play and they slow the whole build up. Furthermore the whole team were misplacing passes due to the training surface being too different compared to the playing surface had half of those through balls connected we would have had 5 or 6 goals.

A tidal wave of hurt is coming for oldco and newco. Delivered by the courts off the pitch and us on the pitch. I’m enjoying the media trying to wriggle and squeeze any crumb of “positive” news from the court cases and the magic hat sacking. They are failing so badly and the stories are cringe worthy. On this St. Patrick’s day 2017 we can finally see a day of truth and reckoning coming for the “brethren” in whatever incarnation they are in today. Off to Southie for the Parade on Sunday even though it’ll be snowing! Hail Glorious!

Happy St,Patrick’s Day to all a day of abstinence for some of us, Look I don’t want to upset anyone and I am not currently , anyway sold on I dependence but if it happens should the old “Flegs” issue be resurrected.

Apparently previously a lot of football fans objected to a club flying the flag of a foreien state. They did not feel historical and cultural imperatives should e allowed to influence this.
Will they take the same view if the Union fleg is that of a former state or will that be OK and will they support the tricolour flying at Celtic Park. We should. be told and they should be askd.

By the way that is some EBT list, there were at least 3 names I have never heard of, every Rangers player who did the business for them on the pitch got a mention, except our Bobby!

Usual quality ETims post.
Do others feel like me and ask “what the fuck is going on here”?, regarding all the legal pish. The discussion, much in freemasonic, double-speak is absolutely fucking ludicrous. That shower of freemasonic, orange bastards cheated for decades under Sir Scumbag Murray, evaded tax and NI contributions and we’re now in the highest court in the UK arguing fucking legal minutae? It’s crystal clear; the bastards cheated and now it’s payback time. Let’s have no more bargaining, they’re guilty. My wee grandson could work that one out. They’ve cheated to win ‘honours’; they’ve been dishonourable. The honours don’t count FOR THEM. We want the Truth. The Truth decrees we’re due those stolen honours. We want those honours legitimately due to us. Lawwell, you had better be listening. No more excuses; stand up for our club and its supporters and get this sorted. While you’re about it, get tore right into the Ref’s committee or whatever it takes to stop us being robbed on the pitch. This is your final, written warning…..and the clock is ticking. FFS, act a bit more like ‘the rock’ you’re named after, Peter.

I respect no religion, as is my choice. Tommy was a devout Catholic, as was his choice. If ever a human being could persuade me that religion had some point it would have been Tommy Burns. My family hail from London Road (and Ru’glen).
I think, from memory, that Tommy was at St. Mary’s. My family were parishioners of St Alphonsus. They’re not far apart.

charlie, ye’ve probably nailed the only thing that will force ‘the rock’, mibbaes SIR Peter (in his own poxy mind), intae action. Let’s get this out there via the GB etc., “ye cannae let Tommy Burns down Peter, can ye………?”

In life Tommy was, a very special Tim,
In death, the Celtic family still loves him,
A Calton man, devout and pure,
None were better, o’ that we’re sure.
RIP, Tommy Burns.
