Celtic Diary Tuesday August 28: Big Boyata, Big Defenders and Big Bills

As the transfer window begins to gently move towards the closed position, its time for decisions to be made by the maxim of blind panic to see us through to January.

Dedryck Boyata has been told he can go if we sign a replacement.

Probably.

That replacement could well be Filip Benkovic, a defender who is not good enough to get a game for Leicester. This is a twelve month loan as Celtic will not pay the eight figure fee for him, not without seeing if our scouts can actually tell if he’s any good.

We also hear Boyata sacked his agent and wants to stay, but there is a condition..

Boyata contract extension still on the table. He’s asked for additional clause inserted…Green Brigade make a banner of him as the Roman God of Love. More news when we get it.

Its a dealbreaker.

Fans have been split over Boyata, and its time to draw a line under it. Perhaps the most sensible comment on the whole affair came on twitter…

So having initially wanted to slaughter Boyata for what’s happened on arriving at the ground and seeing his name on the team sheet it didn’t feel right to do anything but support him, primarily because it potentially could have really negative consequences for the team. 

what I found totally hypocritical was the continued booing throughout the game coming from the Green Brigade. I’d have thought that these guys above all other would have understood about making an arse of it. 

On numerous times, along with their outstanding support of the Club they have got us into bother within the Club itself & on a wider basis with Uefa. Whether we like it or not, we all have our role to play in following Celtic & we all at times get it wrong as fans and as players. 

What should always make Celtic unique is our ability to come together especially when things get difficult. We should be able to accept a player who gets it wrong just as we would expect the same second chance for our own behaviour. 

Tolerance,acceptance and forgiveness are huge parts of the ethos of Celtic and we would all as a Club do well to remember that. As I said at the outset, I’d have been the first to hang him out to dry when this all started but on reflection I believe I was wrong. 

I’ll back whoever is picked to pull on that jersey because all that matters is how well we do together, as Brendan said, the Holy Trinity. It takes everyone pulling together. Lets not arse that up over one mistake. We have all been there.

As for replacements, we have Benkovic being spoken of, and the young lad from Le Havre.. (The sun )

MOUKOUDI BE THE ONE?

Its unlikely the lad will move to Middlesborough. Unless he’s a big fan of petro-chemical architecture.

There are three young French lads at Celtic who really should be encouraged to play their part in bringing this lad in.

There’s still Scott McKenna.

This is presumably part of Brendans plan B, the next team already being at Celtic as this one inevitably breaks up. John McGinn would have been part of that group, but for some reason he chose first team football.

You can’t blame him, even if its at Aston Villa.

This forward planning by Brendan may not have the full support of the board, which may be the cause of some of the friction we’ve been hearing about.

We may also be on the point of spotting why the mainstream media have been focusing on the “problems ” at Celtic.

Little things,  hidden in the narrative, that aren’t quite true, but are dressed up as though they are..

Sportscene last night said Celtic ‘struggled by Hamilton’ and that we would have won that game more comfortably 2 seasons ago. 2 seasons ago we played Hamilton twice at CP, those games finished 1-0 and 2-0. Interesting narrative being peddled by the BBC 

Anyway, the real story, the biggie, is this one….

Rangers: Former players and staff urged to seek tax advice over EBTs

Former Rangers players and staff paid through an offshore trust have been told they have weeks to approach the taxman over a settlement or face an even bigger bill.

Last year the Supreme Court upheld a Court of Session ruling that £47m paid to Rangers employees between 2001-2010 was liable for tax.

Now beneficiaries of the Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs), many of whom were led to believe these were loans that would never have to be repaid, are being warned to seek “urgent advice”.

BBC Scotland has seen a letter sent earlier this month by Trident Trust, a Jersey-based company, which paints a stark picture.

The letter says: “HMRC has confirmed that it will seek to recover all income tax found by the Supreme Court to be due and that, where HMRC is unable to recover the tax from the employer, it may transfer the liability for unpaid tax…to employees or former employees.”

While HM Revenue and Customs can still pursue BDO – the liquidators of RFC 2012 Plc – for a portion of what the company owed, more could be salvaged by pursuing the former employees. 

That could put many on the hook for hundreds of thousands or even millions of pounds.

Former captain Barry Ferguson received £2.5m in EBT payments, German goalkeeper Stefan Klos £2m and former manager – and current Scotland boss – Alex McLeish £1.7m, while former owner Sir David Murray received £6.3m.

And time could be running out to try to negotiate a deal, according to the trust’s letter.

The trust says further charges will be applied by HMRC if tax liabilities have not been settled by 5 April next year.

And to do that, it says, those in question will have to approach HMRC by 30 September this year.

The letter adds: “If you do not come forward voluntarily and seek to settle on preferential terms, HMRC could well pursue you directly and make an assessment on a less favourable basis.”

Trident Trust stresses it is not offering advice, rather urging the players and staff involved to seek expert advice on how to deal with the situation.

HMRC said: “Follower notice (FN) legislation says that HMRC has 12 months to issue FNs following a final decision. The final decision in Rangers was on 5 July 2017. We have looked at a range of schemes where the principles at stake were similar, and follower notices have been issued where appropriate.”

BBC Scotland has contacted Trident for a response. 

With so many EBT recipients on the books at the BBC, its stunning to note that they haven’t contacted any of them for a response.

Perhaps they’re too busy chasing all of those chickens away, the one’s that seem to have come home to roost.

As with all tax issues, some will argue that the whole matter is very complicated, and use that as an excuse to steer away from comment.

Its not actually that difficult.

We all pay a proportion of our earnings to the government. Sometimes it is taken before you get a chance to spend it yourself, known as Pay As You Earn.

If you do not pay as you earn, you pay later, and if you are not sure how much to pay, you ask an accountant to work it out for you.

There is no third option, where you are exempt from tax because David Murray said you were.

The players concerned knew this was coming, and some have already taken somewhat transparent steps to try to avoid paying this time round as well.

Placing assets in the wifes name is quite popular, or giving it to the kids.

Only true fuckwits think this will work, which presumably is why they’re doing it.

The revelation has renewed interest in the Resolution 12 issue, and in particular the Nimmo Smith whitewash.

We hope to have a simplified version of what is known, what wasn’t known and what was kept back so that Nimmo Smith reached the conclusion he was supposed to.

 

We hope that this will help other clubs and their supporters to join in the crusade against the collusion between certain individuals at the SFA/SPFL and the now defunct Rangers.

I’d be asking this guy to get involved, if I’m honest..

Born in 1965 in Liège, Belgium, Jean-Louis Dupont is a lawyer specialized in European law.

He was part of the legal team that led the Bosman ruling (CJEU, 15 December 1995),[1] which forced FIFA and UEFA to end the transfer system and the nationality quota within the EU…

He defends various persons and entities in the world of professional sport, especially in lawsuits related to European Law which oppose clubs or sportspeople and international federations. 

At the very least we could ask him for his thoughts, which would cost money, but there is such a thing as crowdfunding..

 

Yesterday, we showed this quite alarming photograph..

Painful through and through, a bag of jelly baby signings, a support frustrated by the lack of new quality signings, this despite the club being in its best ever financial position, Loan signings, fuck that, we are a football club, the supporters put in millions of pounds each and every year and are treated to loan deals and players too injured to play football. And then you have the tribute act, we are constantly told that they will soon be out of business, but yet they are still here, going for whatever number they have in their limited brain cells, but signing players, whereas we once again from a position of strength are looking at loan players. Patience might be a virtue, but my patience is running on empty. Once it was “faithful through and through, now, not so much. As quickly as it turned sour, that feeling of dread can change, a couple of good results against pish opponents, but also 2/3 quality signings, tick tock…

London Celtic, We have all seen this story played out before, I know that we as a club have to be careful, it makes it hugely important that any players we do sign are value for money, but jings crivens and help ma Boab, despite that we don’t half bring in some jelly babies. Fragile players that proper scouting would have rooted out by looking at their past playing history. I am not dead against loan signings when things are tough financially, but that is not the case at present. Nov.2017 £30 mill. in the bank, add to that monies raised by selling Armstrong and Sviatcenko, the Virgil sell on money and lately the much vaunted sponsorship deal. We are in the best financial position ever as a club…. Buy some players and we kick on, as for the scouting, well they need hunted.

On paying all Celtic staff the living wage…something that would have been warmly applauded by the support, not to mention the staff.

Lawwell “earns” about £1-2m a year.

Vastly overpaid and not worth it.

Cut it in half (still too much), pay LW and still have money over.

Pish, you’ll be lucky if he “earned” 10%.

Last time I looked (before it depressed the hell out of me) if you add in share options, long term loyalty “earnings” etc, we’re probably paying out £1.5-2m for/to him.

Perhaps, if the SFA introduced a salary cap of £0.5m for CEs it might shake Pistol Pete out of his lethargy!

Aye, Noel, read some of my posts from many years’ ago on this, long before Monti had got tae plagiarisin’ ma stuff, :-).
THIS (Lawwell’s refusal to pay the Living Wage) goes back some years. Monti’s estimation of £500K may well be correct today, but when I first highlighted it, it would’ve, at worst if he’d paid it from his own purse, cost him around £180,000. The calculation is based on his assessment (£300,000) to cover the Living Wage less 40% tax, hence £180,000.
LEST WE FORGET: Lawwell’s nae Tim, just a fuckin’ capitalist, tory leech, as is Desmond; neither are any friend of Walfrid and hence friend of most of us. Their day will come.

Maybe it’ s Time to stop getting all emotional over said player. If he hadn’t of scored on Sunday we would not be getting this outpouring and the fact that he did only matters really just now in the context of this coming Sunday. As a player he is average ( in Scotland) can attack and score but is liable and inconsistent in defending. Trick is a ball playing centre half who can halve when needed…he isn’t and neither has he shown any loyalty to the club. Wasn’t there rumours about him leaving before the World Cup anyway which he did nothing to dispel. Not what he has done more the way he has done it.

It’s simple if he wears the hoops real Celtic men support him on the pitch. In August I always think of Internment day, I worked for a welfare agency and I tried with a colleague to get into Ballymurphy, no one seemed to know what was going on. 342 people were illegally detained. There were days of rioting mostly around the Henry McTaggart Memorual Hall. 11 civilians were shot by the 1 st Batallion of the paras including a oriestvtending to an injured man and a mother of 8, some were shot in the back. A film “ The Ballymurphy Precedent” is showing at GFT and some of it will be on Channel 4 in September, try and catch it. Some police and yes some army did not want the Paras in Derry just prior to Bloody Sunday because of the Ballymurphy killings, they didn’t trust them.

I doubt if there will be much player trading before the window will close on Saturday. Deek will be required for Thursday and Sunday and will get his wish to move on in January. Then the trading will start for the assult on champions league qualification which should have been done this year.

A couple of great quotes from a proper Tim journalist, Phil Gordon:

“Plenty of supporters at Celtic Park were critical of the Green Brigade banner. The Green Brigade are entitled to their opinion – and unlike Boyata – they always turn up to back the team.”

“What Dedryck Boyata did on the pitch on Sunday, simply added to the case against him for his costly no-show in Athens: a clean sheet from his defence and a winning goal – they were needed against AEK, not Hamilton!”

This is someone who gets it that supporting your team isn’t about moronic misplaced loyalty (remind you of anyone?).

There’s a reason that the saying isn’t Keep The Blind Faith.

BJF

We also needed points against Hamilton, only a moron would boo his own player. I guess many of us have blind faith in Celtic or we would have given up at Cambuslang or Rangers (remember them) winning 9 in a row. I don’t disrespect the jersey, zI don’t know the facts mostly what the Scottish football media claim, but if Boyata didn’t think he was fit he should t play but he should have travelled, maybe you think Brendan is blind but I trust him.

There appears to be a group of so called fans that are never happy. BR won us the double treble, If he goes in a huff or threatens to walk away, then I would be worried. Boyata was not the reason we lost to AEK, according to Monti he is PISH, it was DD and PL not investing in the future.
Yes BR has made mistakes, but overall he has done well, putting the knuckledraggers back in their box.
The Rankers have been built up by the media, Stevie G currently wals on water, think back to magic hat, Pedro, or whatever clown they have had.
There has been an agenda against Celtic for over a hundred years by the Esrablishment, not just the knuckledraggers.

Monti, years ago (early Dundee Utd. etc) I thought Levein seemed a decent guy. In recent years he’s become a complete cunt and anti Celtic. He’s tried to set up Broonie to have the shit kicked out of him knowing the huns (both in blue and in black) will be queuing up to kick him like that arsehole for P/Thistle did with the huns in black allowing it all.
So, in my view, Levein’s a cunt and I don’t give a fuck what happens to him. To me he’s now a non-entity.
The Celtic board are a fuckin’ shower and should have that made plain at ALL Celtic games until we get them TF.
On a brighter note, hard as that is at present, we only need reasonable performances in our next two games and we should succeed. We can then settle down and take care of winning another treble and having a run in Europe.

I repeat once again, SCORING goals is our biggest problem, last year and this. We get too many chances that go begging and we need to score more from set pieces. Note: Boyata is the only CB who has won us matches from set piece headers. Like Efe, he is good in the air.
This site makes I.M. Jolly look like a ray of sunshine. Maybe some of you know-it-alls can tell me who knows nothing how the feck we can score more goals?!?

It seems that David Louise is going to turkey on loan, or it he’s a turkey and going to loan, at least that’s not another loan coming from Citeeee. John Terry’s agent has contacted the club, to see if they could recommend a retirement home, there is a God after all.

To think of the £60k that big Jock payed for his star players, now that £60k wouldn’t pay for top players wine bills.

Noel it will be good to hear your opinion of Ballymurphy.
The Cha: I am agreeing with Brendan’s decision to play Boyata, he got it right again. I just dont know what was said between them but if he felt he was fit of course he should have played, my point is the manager made a decision for the good of the team and the club, the players agreed so what’s good enough for them was good enough for me, blind it might seem to
you. I am not arrogant enough to think I can do Brendan’s job better than him. I presume you will be starting a Rodgers out or Rodgers is Pish Brigade, that’s up to you, I think he has done really well.
