Wembley Cup....

[henrik777]

Celtic and Rangers will always play in Scotland. Quite how so many can argue so much over something which will never happen i don't know.

Scotland might have been the powerful league when Murray took over if some others could have done the same as Sky would've paid good money but they were all skint and trying to get all seater stadiums. They made the Epl who in turn made Sky.

Such is life. At least they have a shit national team like ours.

lol@the tic cave trying to claim the Europa league is as good, if not better than being in the champions league  lmao.  Enjoy the Europa league and let us know how that works out

Nice reading skills, I blame the schools.

WD with the Fergus patter - it was getting old then  make your case and you'd maybe be listened to.

Simply put, 3 home games in the CL for Rangers = roughly £5m ticket money & blue nose burgers. The UEFA cash depends upon TV audience and results, as long as you do well, you're OK, if not the £10-15m is just paper talk.

Europa cup = 3 home games in the group + other home games in the next rounds (you'd have to be really bad not to make top 3 out of 5). The TV money will be less than the CL if you get a good side as it's pooled like the CL, ie you don't get to negotiate games individually, but allowing for more wins (which should be achievable) it could be not too far behind a CL failure season.

Probably the best situation financially would be high points 3rd in group and a wee EC run.

Spot on. Should make both comps better footballing wise in the long run too.

Rod, please back up all figures with evidence.  For years sellik fans like yourself have claimed Rangers will get little more than a couple of million for being the only Scottish Team in the champions league whereas in years Celtic were the only team in it they would like us the believe that the money they recieve would take them to a new level of financial power.

Now Ive no doubt Rod wouldnt embarrass himself by breaking down the income of each tourney and blatantly making up the numbers Rangers can expect but call me a cynic, Id like you to back it up with some evidence.

And how much ticket money can Celtic really expect to make from the Europa league, from what I hear Celtic are having so much trouble shifting tickets for tonights game against (what seems to be) a decent team on paper that the game isnt on the TV to encourage more of the GFITW to go to the game.  With them being the GFITW shouldnt they have sold this game out the minute the draw was made??  Whats the story?  credit crunch? summer holidays???  hmmmmmmmmmm

Sigh. It really wouldn't take long to do the research. Then you can pull holes in Rod's statement properly.... wiv proppa fakts to back you up!

Do you just spout Follow Follow platitudes or can you speak for yourself? I'll pay your tickets for the Group Stage home games if you can show me saying that Rangers would only get a couple of million if they're the only Scots team in the CL. I'll expect a retraction when you can't. Also unless you've got dyslexia be adult enough to spell Celtic correctly.

On looking up what Celtic got last season I'll admit I got a shock, the payments for just getting into the Group Stage is a lot higher than last time I looked, I was shocked to see that Celtic got nearly 13m euros, so the £10m is easier to get than I thought. UEFA haven't announced the payments for the Europa League so that's a guess from anyone.

As for the rest of your  suppositions,don't believe all that you read from the Gub and the other rabid ones... We'd a bigger crowd tonight than Rangers managed in any of the last 2 season's worth of  qualifiers, none of which were on TV either. The league games would depend on the draw, but I'd expect Celtic to sell them as a package, keeping the attendances high anyway.

rod you really do tilt me no end, type of of celtic fan i love to hate.

p.s mon the dynamo!

I dont read follow follow so try again sir.

You said clear as day that Rangers will make around £5 million and that reports of £10 million+ are "just paper talk" and that the money from the Europa league would be comparable for Celtic.

Please show me where this Europa league is gonna make that much more money for clubs than the Uefa cup did that it now compares to the CL money and please show me where you're getting you CL figures from because itll be interesting reading.  I assume its not from the same tic cave literature that insisted that part of the Carlos Cuellar money went back to Osasuna which they used to buy Sno and took great delight in telling us that we effectively paid to get rid of Sno for Celtic.......a claim that turned out to be blatant lies.  Say it aint so Rod because I think I speak for everyone on the forum when I say we all rely on your information as being fact and as accurate as possible and not just completely made up.

PS- Ill ship you the reciept for my group stages package when they become available.  Is your address still Rod Paradise, Seething Farce, The Tic Cave, N0 C1u3???

You're now making shit up. I said £5m + UEFA money - which I've admittted I'd underestimated. The £5m estimate is easy to come by - 50,000 * £35 * 3 is roughly £5m - which at no point did I say was all you'd get. Also how £5 = £2m in your mind I don't understand.

I got the CL figures from the UEFA website, ie somewhere accurate. Instead of making up some guff about Osasuna - this is the first I've heard of that one - since Sno went to Ajax I see no reason that would be said? Again I think you've got 'tic cave' stuff going on in your head, because for all your rhetoric there's not much fact at all.

Well done on spelling Celtic correctly though.

And you're the type of Rangers fan I tend to pity.

[Boba Fett]

Read your post Rod, you said £5 million for gate receipts and broxi burgers plus Uefa money but £10 million is "paper talk" which would imply that its less than £5 million would it not?

And the Sno thing is an example of tic cave propaganda where your lot report it as fact when it is completely made up.  I could give more examples but I have more to do with my life.

How long before you try to claim the money made from the Wembley cup win is comparable to the money Rangers will make in the CL.

Anyway, enjoy your prestigous silverware and "ra selliks" Europa cup adventure and Ill enjoy the CL group stages at your expense.

paul all rods opinions are fact didnt you relise that? best just leaving this thread alone

That sounds like a Huddleboard wind up (ala the Canadian soldier), as Rod says Sno didn't even sign for Osasuna so I'm not sure why you would believe that or even remember it a year later. If the boot was on the other foot I'd just put it down to Huns talking pish and forget about it.
