It's all sinking now

I honestly think the penny dropped on Tuesday morning for these guys. Right, let’s get Brad on the show, he’s got half a brain, 36 mins in ... GULP

I actually follow him on twitter as he's been saying since the start of the season that things were all wrong at the scum and was taking pelters for it from their support. Also said that he'd looked at us last season and picked out a number of weaknesses but our signings in the summer had addressed every single one of them.

He has, his thread from whenever they got pumped out of the CL pretty much is the blueprint for what's happened to them.
 
The guy in the middle looked like he was regretting having the American guy on. Small facial ticks everytime the American was praising us but trying to hold it together lol beautiful to see.
The guy on the left I actually through was a painting of someone being sad.

I was shocked by the intelligence, insight and general lack of bitterness. When the guy right went down the there might be a reckoning for us, the guy on the left calmly schooled him. But even the guy on the right was well informed. Can you imagine what life would be like if all Tim's were like this and just ditched the bitterness, paranoia and professional victim routine.

Please no, that's the stuff of nightmares, it would spoil all the fun.

Just noticed that the twitter thread I mentioned had been posted here. Good find.

I've been following him on twitter since August. I should point out he's the only person related to the scum in anyway that I follow but he's been ahead of the game in pinpointing their coming demise. He was saying it even while they were winning.

I can get that, I would too if I was still on twitter. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the smarter ones, he seems to have a real handle on what mistakes they are making.

Yeah I listened to that part. They failed to remain competitive when they brought in Deila and suffered. Pushed the boat out for Rodgers all was forgotten, but they fed him a pack of lies and he left when they would not support him. I mean £2.5m odd for McGinn and they wouldn’t pay it! We’re growing and growing and it’s taken investment, we ate all under no illusions that we will need to sell players, however we can develop them and get some good years out them. We will win this title we have CL that we did not budget for. We’ve invested so much the squad, commercially, scouting etc... we’re the first modern day professional club in Scotland and they will all be following our model!

A great post.

Sounds like the guy actually knows what he's talking about.
The AI injury machine thing is quite interesting. It appears that we have less injuries, but longer lay offs for the injuries we do have.

It definitely feels like we’ve lost less key players at important times. The poets will be very lucky if they can rebuild and incorporate these types of systems without it costing a few seasons. They’d probably be pushing against people who are stuck in their ways or need to get rid and employ people who can fit and use the systems. Big decisions to make while they’re still watching what we do all the time.
 
Thought the American guy was pretty level headed, sensible in fact, then he goes and says we have players of value just not as valuable as the likes of Eduardo and McGregor!!

Some of the most articulate beggars I've ever heard, to be fair. Why do they not listen to someone like James instead of Ill Phil? Guy seems to have a good grasp of financial matters, seems his job could be there, and he's quite worried about their finacial position. I liked his analogy that Rangers borrowing is like a country like America issuing currency rather than borrowing externally, no one is waiting to call that in, whereas they are going down the Venezuela route of borrowing externally.
Click to expand...
The analogy he used for them was the next couple of credit lines they open "could be like Argentinians borrowing dollars."

That's an in joke amongst economists as to how fucking dire a situation has become/how much of a basket case you are.

Genuine gallows humour stuff. Base rate of interest there is 38% and it's much, much better than at any point since mid-2018.
 
I’ve been following ‘JucoJames’ since his argument with celticanon earlier in the season. I’m a fan of analytics and like the way he analyses the game, it’s just a pity his focus is them. As well as predicting how dismal their season could be he also massively talks up Rangers and how we have the right people in place, have a plan, use analytics to minimise injuries and how we could end up in a better place than them financially after this season.

He says that the only disruption that he can see for us is when Gerrard leaves but acknowledges Wilson is well placed to recruit his successor. He’s obviously a cel’ic fan but not filled with bitterness and hatred.

He thinks cel’ic have the better squad and it’s the network effect that’s making Rangers players look better, but apart from that I find it hard to disagree with anything he says.

I hope his predictions about their financial performance is as accurate as his one about on-field issues.

The other guy is a complete bellend, keeps going on about ‘all but one club cut their cloth accordingly’ after COVID. Ignoring the fact cel’ic spent heavily without any CL or player sales to allow for that.

Add in the fact that their ST sales will drop as they do not have our loyalty (even in he darkest days)
No Champion League money.
Valuation of their biggest asset (Edouard) has significantly been reduced due to his performance and their lack of success.
Will their other major Scottish assets want to stay at the new coup - McGregor, Turnbull, Forrest in view of what lies ahead.
Also there will be a reduction in sponsorship and that massive compensation claim hanging over their heads. Worrying times for the mentally challengeds....long may it continue
WATP.

Yes, Tierney cash stemmed the flow.
 
The idiots trying to compare Celtc's " end of an era " to Man United and Barca is utterly hilarious. lol

Their annual wage bill to hoover up domestic trophies has came back to haunt them. They spent a fortune to qualify for the megabucks of the Champions League and repeatedly failed.

watch this vid from 36 mins onwards, this yank tim is the 1st one to realise how much us winning 55 will impact celtic in the long term

As a rule I ignore tims on financial matters. But Jim nails their predicament. Poor board, management & player procurement/pool. Only Edouard has real value. Rebuild required in covid times, upcoming CSA litigation & no CL money likely. Their best hope is our model-board money. Dodgy Desmond to pony up or years of pain till SG, Beale, Wilson etc move on. Or longer.
 
Dulce et Decorum Est said:
Honestly, so have I. Their pain is fantastic and I have to clear my watch&search history on YouTube afterwards because it makes me feel disgusting!!! I have always listened to H&H throughout the years and never understood why lurking Tims would listen in, but when we are top of the tree and shiting down it’s a nice change. I am getting a bit bored with it now and I don’t envisage it being a long term habit-just one to enjoy now as the Timplosion unfolds. Lovely stuff.

I must admit that Paul John Dykes comes across reasonably level headed and switched on, he's got one guy that comes on and just howls at the moon for the hour or so he's on! Magnificent!
 
Noticed when they were talking about the trip to Dubai, they didn't mention the pictures of TLB and Brown at the pool, or the others knocking back pints in the Bar.
 
Mr_Miscellaneous said:
He's the only one sounding the alarm. The other two seem to agree but are a bit more nonplussed of their situation, which is weird after he lays it out.

He's finally figured out what we were doing and what Dave King meant.

Our credit line is internal, similar to a country servicing it's own debt via bonds. Instead of Gilts/treasury bonds it's shares in the company.

They've opened up a credit line via a commercial bank (and we know from the mid-to-late 00's just how much using one of those can sting) the 'benefactors' are drawing money from the club instead of putting it in and player negotiations are going to be slammed by a lack of success, lack of time left on contracts and massive structural change.

Their cash is gone, their players value is depreciating in value, they don't have any sort of plan, they are aimlessly wondering about and in 12 months there has been a complete reversal in fortunes.

Only the American seems to understand how grave a situation they've sleepwalked into and only because he was bored during lockdown and looked into our operating model in a bit more detail.

Not gonna lie, this post is giving me a woody..
 
Juco James - isn't this the guy who that CFC Anon account has been abusing like %^*& all season for calling Brown out as shite, using stats?
 
this JucoJames guy was the sole reason that hilarious parody of an account even became a thing, specifically to target this guy. he had some weird theory that Neil McCann was supporting his account or providing him with information - it was very fucking weird!

did he offer to meet him on the cobbles for a showdown?

guy on the left is jucojames on twitter who they all rallied against earlier in the season when he started to point out not all was as rosy as it seemed. worth keeping track of tbh.

is it not the guy on the right? maybe i got that wrong, i had said the same as you, just now catching up on the rest of the thread. it was the CFC Anon account created his account to attack him
 
didn't take them long to go Sevco. 45 mins bang on out comes the admin #200284848484 predictions

...and by 46.30 mins the yank is clamping them
 
He said we have used internal investment to speculate and it is going to pay off. We have done it the right way.
 
It's beautiful watching them realise they don't have their troubles to seek and have genuine competition again, and they are shitting it

It's as if he was the first idiot to glance across the city and see what we were up to. And none of the rest of them believed him.

Ps. Can ye see us yet?

The American was rather pragmatic but the Tim

His other guest does launch into a Rangers tirade suggesting we are "built on sand" and we will have our "reckoning". He's hurting, badly.

His other guest has talked more sanctimonious shit than i have heard in a long time
 
Can we just get a transcript or at least the gist in written form without giving mentally challengeds the revenue with clicks
