my gut feeling is ange will stay another season. if the board back him to strengthen the squad over the summer AND they get a good run in the CL, he'll stay longer. if at anytime he feels he's being short changed he'll not tolerate being messed about. some teams get through managers like months, eg spurs, chelsea, southampton, leeds. i don't think any of them will turn his head, because he know he's just as likely to end up on the casualty list |
I dunno, Mick. Your post is an admission that the squad depth isn't there (Bernabei).
Funny, as I write it looks like 4k shares have just been bought at 129.70p, which seems like a record for recent days (high and in 'proper' size).
-- edit: it's a bargain for 2,000 shares according to London Stock Exchange website. But still 'proper' money i.e. over £2,000 worth

1 pt from 9 5 from 15 relegation form!
'Bain came in for a first appearance of the season, while Bernabei, Yuki Kobayashi, Liel Abada, Sead Haksabanovic and Oh were also given a chance to show what they can do before the Scottish Cup final in 10 days time. The answer was, for most, not a great deal.'
'It's hard to know what to make of this Celtic side. Without Cameron Carter-Vickers, they seem particularly fragile at the back and Kobayashi is yet to settle in.'
' Postecoglou: "This is on me, I'm making lots of changes and playing guys who haven't played in a long time and in many ways, that's unfair on them but that's just my way of doing things. "This squad has handled the Champions League, is in the final of a cup competition, won another cup competition and won the league... we will strengthen as we always do."
-- positive takeaway = a good time to learn the squad weaknesses got to learn fast though or its going to be -15 to -20 gd in CL and maybe 2 points, come december |
Unfortunately this result and performance demonstrate that Celtic need to spend more and spend well to have a high probability of winning the league again next year: a crucial year as the Champions League becomes more lucrative.
Implications not good.

i see what ange did! rangers giving celtic a good thrashing means beale keeps more of his current squad |
i think ange got tired of the eulogising and talk of breaking records and thought 'i'll show them' ;)
'If Beale learned a lot about his fringe players in victory, Postecoglou did too in defeat.' |
3-0 a big warning for celtic for nxt season, for the champions league
disagree with any celtic fan that says game doesn't matter, every game against rangers matters! |
2-0 down mind the pendulum swing! |
big game tomorrow 5 wins and 1 draw would be a massive achievement from 2 years ago. |
It's currently £1.27-1.44 to trade 10k Asagi so says everything you need to know on MM's position! |
1,000 went through this morning at 127p.
I take it back, that's bad Google Finance data. Stock Exchange says it was 750 shares at 08:46 for 127p each. Still 'beer money' trades.
Still no 'proper investor' selling since the bid hit 120p recently.

1,000 went through this morning at 127p.
First time a 'genuine' amount of shares sold since the bid hit 120p recently yet still short of the minimum bargain size that I think an investor should go in for!

now showing on the London Stock Exchange website as bid:offer 125p:135p after 4,000 went through at 134.5p.
15 minutes delayed, of course.

get your seat belts on. |
Bid finally moved up, now £1.26-1.40 to trade 10k. |
The £1.20 sell makes no sense at £1.20 when you can sell 10k at £1.228. Currently £1.375 to buy a similar amount so MM has to move bid up soon.
Think Rangers have to play 2 qualifiers for CL which has a relevance as reduces our TV money by over £5m if they qualify They will drop into Europa League which should be enough to keep the lights on for another season |
1,000 shares traded this morning at 120p. Other than that, no meaningful volume since the bid:offer went 120p:135p.
Baffled. Don't MMs realise the further away they put their offer the less likely they are to get buys or sells? Who will buy at 135p if they see the bid at 120p? That's an expensive trade!
The lack of sells demonstrates that the bid is too low to motivate sells so now we have this stasis.

League title mathematically confirmed for Celtic. Congratulations Celtic. Champions League group football also guaranteed as Champions.
What is runners-up route to the Champion's League season 2023/24? Anyone know? Without Group qualification a massive financial advantage is baked in for Celtic.

coronation cup --> 14yrs --> european cup |
The support for this club is incredible. The thing that is missing to take the business to the next level is consistent success in the champions league. Not just making up the numbers but regularly getting to the last 16 or the last 8. If Porto can do this then so should Celtic. The European record is really terrible over the last 20 years for a club this size. By the law of averages they must be due a run. |
Surprised they haven't moved the bid up although I suppose they don't expect two way trading at this low price. All going well, two in a row confirmed this weekend and maybe we'll get some press on our growing cash pile. Season tickets out and with a reported 7000 on waiting list, seems they have closed it which is a pain for those wishing to add young kids etc. Tickets for the last two home games sold out in minutes with 700 in the queue when I checked at the time. I wonder if we'll get an rns again this year that results ahead of market expectations?
£1.228-£1.37 to trade 10000 at moment. |
Because only one of the three market makers is truly active, they've been caught out I'm guessing and no longer want anyone to buy whilst they try and find some sells to balance their books.
I'd guess they'll move the bid to £1.23/1.25 shortly if they have no luck and why would anyone sell now when they would have sold at the same price during Lennon's management and COVID when things looked drastic? |
given that we haven't had any trades print at anymore than 126p (have we????) can anyone explain why the offer has moved to 135p?
