Celtic Share Discussion Threads

Theres a discussion on iii suggesting Celtic will almost certainly be in POT 2 for the Champions League. Thats important since it should enhance the chances of reaching last 16. Of course they've still to qualify but hopefully Barca (pronounced Bartha!!) can do the necessary on Wed.

I'd throw both the huns and the tics out of the league; biggoted debt ridden and corrupt, the league would thrive without the sectarian nonsense and people would go back to supporting there local teams instead of gloryhunting.

Raise both stadiums to the ground and lets forget all about them.

Strange that someone who feels these are a write off keeps popping up. I would have thought anyone wasting their time looking at such a share needs their heads examined!

The convertibles and subsequent dilution are no secret. Ive not actually checked up but Id assume Dermot Desmond knew exactly what he was doing when he subscribed for the majority of shares at 30p. From memory he also holds a lot of the convertibles (will check up though). Actually Celtic are prob the only footie club Id ever buy shares in. They are a brand name in world football with a massive support and there are several scenarios that could results in the share price being re-rated ie. interest from Irish/Russian milliionaires, move to Premiership etc. However these are probably more in the medium/long term. They also have a very prudent board and they wont squander cash on dodgy signings. And from Lambert's wages they are manageing to pay Boruc, Zuraawski and Nakamura if a fairly recent newspaper story is true. So they wont do anything stupid. For the near term, and as the CL final approaches, I think youll see some punters buy Celtic shares instead of punting on Barca at the bookies. The odds wont be great on a Barca win and buying Celtic shares may get you a 30%-50% profit at little risk. And as a bonus maybe Henrik can get the winner!

Here you go if you want "debt ridden" Madman :>))



Sharesave, a scheme for PLC's to try to retain staff where by you usually save money with he option to buy the shares at a specified date or receive your cash back.

Dodgy "I'm worth a few bob" Dave has come up with a cracker here and its the little guy in the street who is being ripped off. Nobody wanted the shares when he was doing his debt clearing exercise so now he has come up with this cracker to try and suck some more out.

Beggars belief that anyone would consider this as they will be lucky to be able to sell them again unlike Celtic shares which have a ready market at a push of the button.

Come on, tell me Murray is not extracting the urine with this scheme?

Anyone buying this debt ridden pos needs there head examined.

To be honest I have my doubts about him as well but hopefully the guarantee of good revenue should be enough to push this to where I want to be. Interesting points you've raised though for the longer term

You might want to find out if the convertible shares for August 2007 have been rebased after the last share issue. Initially, they were £1.25 but they converted up to a maximum of 3 for 1 if the price fell. Therefore there is about £20m of convertible shares that will convert at around 41.66p although I would find out if this has been revised lower after the last share issue.

If its still 41.66p they may be worth a punt, if not I would hold off as the next financial results will be shocking and its one hell of dilution to come in August 2007.

Plus I'm not convinced that Wee Gordon has what it takes for Europe yet after watching our cup exploits against Artmedia and Clyde.

Best of luck if you go for it though.

Fully agree with you. Certain factions trash this because it is a Scottish football share but at no time have I tried to intimate that this is a long term earner. It is a trend share and if your in at the right time as in now there is serious money to be made. I'll be quite satisfied with a 30% return from here within a relatively short period.

Aberdeen in the premiership, you've got to be having a fu'in laugh. Rangers or Celtic would be constantly mid table with guaranteed home attendances of 50-60000 and a huge travelling support that in the whole doesnt go just for the fighting as do Aberdeen. I'm in this because Imo this will return me 20-30% by the summer. Go find a sheep and get your satisfaction and I'll stick with my monetary satisfaction

Actually Setanta is increasing the prize money and amount of games they show,though nothing on a par with Sky. Don't forget Rangers made the last 16 of the CL to be knocked by the semi-finalists. It's about time both clubs got their financial houses in order though. STOP milking the punters with loadsa shirt changes. STOP having share issues when they think we have forgotten about the last dilution of our holdings. STOP bleating about the SPL when it's a passport to the CL every year. STOP hiring failed managers like Strachan and get someone big enough for the club. Stop paying big fat wages to BIG FAT JOHN.
Start creating value for shareholders who have seen their holdings diminish year on year. Start using the internet to make money. START paying dividends to loyal holders. ETC, ETC.

Dead in the water until they get out of the spl. T V revenue is basically zero in Scotland so its impossible for Celtic to progress financially. Shame as we all know theyre one of the worlds largest clubs and if they were to enter the premiership they would along with rangers be in the top third of the league. So no wonder the English clubs dont want them.

[23wizard] 21/4/2006 16:12

Problem with Dermott though is that he appears to be at his limit as to what he wants to invest. Secondary investment is required for this club to go anywhere, agree with Jest though cheap share, can see it back to 45p for the summer

[thwaiteuk] 21/4/2006 15:53

One of these irish multimillionaires effectively already owns Celtic - Dermot Desmond.

[jesterfester] 21/4/2006 15:51

Surely a bargain at these levels. If AC or Barca win the CL then guaranteed min £10m to Celtic next season. Plus I think the club is grossly undervalued at these levels whatever. Cheap takeover for an Irish multimillionaire!! There's plenty of them out there (also in America) who would love to own the club

sorry i forgot about the liverpool debacle last year. i,m not fully up on the new rules brought in but if a place has to be found would it not affect teams qualifying 2nd 3rd or 4th in their respective leagues before it would affect league winners As i say i dont know the new legislation but it would seem like common sense to do that but then again we are talking about football authorities here!
